ISBN: 9781456555245 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Homer Code What I am about to show you started with my discovery that Homer's legendary Island of Thrinacia, and Trenyken in outer Lofoten, Norway, are one and the same. At the time, this discovery was just a minor adjustment to the epoch making findings by Felice Vinci, that the whole Odyssey of Odysseus was originally located in the north. But this led me to review everything more carefully, also in light of other researchers, notably Iman Jacob Wilkens and Jurgen Spanuth, and more discoveries followed. Eventually this gave rise to a whole new comprehension, with staggering implications...

Umberto Eco (ur. 1932), włoski badacz języka jako semiolog i jego beneficjent jako powieściopisarz, w tej książce snuje opowieść atrakcyjną zarówno naukowo, jak i literacko. Poszukiwanie uniwersalnego języka, jakie ludzkość podejmowała w krajobrazie po Wieży Babel, obfitowało zarówno w momenty doniosłe intelektualnie (gdy budowano uniwersalne języki sztuczne), jak i w momenty groteskowe, gdy na przykład próbowano tworzyć przekłady na domniemany prajęzyk indoeuropejski. O wszystkim tym opowiada ta książka Umberta Eco, snując opowieść o historii poszukiwań języka...

How did the West overtake its Eastern rivals? And has the zenith of Western power now passed? Acclaimed historian Niall Ferguson argues that beginning in the fifteenth century, the West developed six powerful new concepts, or "killer applications"--competition, science, the rule of law, modern medicine, consumerism, and the work ethic--that the Rest lacked, allowing it to surge past all other competitors. Yet now, Ferguson shows how the Rest have downloaded... Western civilization's rise to global dominance is the single most important historical phenomenon of the past five centuries.

ISBN: 9780199699421 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Our attachment to ancient Mesopotamia (Iraq) and Egypt as the 'birthplace of civilization', where the foundations of our own societies were laid, is as strong today as it has ever been. When the Iraq Museum in Baghdad was looted in 2003, our newspapers proclaimed 'the death of history'. Yet the ancient Near East also remains a source of mystery: a space of the imagination where we explore the discontents of modern civilization. In What Makes Civilization? archaeologist David Wengrow investigates the origins of farming, writing, and cities in Egypt and Mesopotamia, and the connections between...

At the same time, it dramatically revises our understanding of eastern Mediterranean and Aegean affairs by...

The Uruk Phenomenon
ISBN: 9781841710969 / Angielski / Miękka / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is based on Collins' doctorial dissertation. He aims to correct an imbalance in previous studies of the Uruk period of Mesopotamian history, which have traditionally been slanted towards the study of well known sites in southern Mesopotamia, by constructing a thesis which considers both southern and northern sites. Collins rejects the theory that the Uruk world grew out of the southern Mesopotamian domination of long distance exchange networks, and instead looks at the importance of the development of a common ideology, one which emphasised a contrast between the extreme order of...
