An Enemy of the People: Original English Translation
ISBN: 9781500441135 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "The strongest man in the world is the one who stands most alone." The plot of Ibsen's play is relevant more than 125 years after its 1882 publication. Natural springs found in a little Norwegian village are about to put the town on the map until a physician outs a powerful area business that is poisoning the water. Unfortunately, the media is complicit with local government in suppressing the study and when the scientist himself offers to lecture no one will rent him a forum. In short, when the scientist bucks local interests he becomes a pariah to the lightly-educated and easily-manipulated...

How to Speak and Write Correctly
ISBN: 9781502733993 / Angielski / Miękka / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How to Speak and Write Correctly is a language skills classic by Joseph Devlin. In the preparation of this work the writer has kept one end in mind: To make it useable for those for whom it is intended, that is, for those who have neither the time nor the opportunity, the learning nor the inclination, to peruse elaborate and abstruse treatises on Rhetoric, Grammar, and Composition.

Liberalism
ISBN: 9781507642399 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The modern State is the distinctive product of a unique civilization. But it is a product which is still in the making, and a part of the process is a struggle between new and old principles of social order. To understand the new, which is our main purpose, we must first cast a glance at the old. We must understand what the social structure was, which--mainly, as I shall show, under the inspiration of Liberal ideas--is slowly but surely giving place to the new fabric of the civic State.

Famous Men of the Middle Ages
ISBN: 9781508546399 / Angielski / Miękka / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Famous Men of the Middle Ages the study of history, like the study of a landscape, should begin with the most conspicuous features. Not until these have been fixed in memory will the lesser features fall into their appropriate places and assume their right proportions. The famous men of ancient and modern times are the mountain peaks of history. It is logical then that the study of history should begin with the biographies of these men.

The Panama Canal
ISBN: 9781508672210 / Angielski / Miękka / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Panama Canal, by J. Saxon Mills, is a definitive history of one the world's most prominent engineering feats. It was either very careless or very astute of Nature to leave the entire length of the American continent without a central passage from ocean to ocean, or, having provided such a passage at Nicaragua, to allow it to be obstructed again by volcanic action. This imperviousness of the long American barrier had, as we shall see, important economic and political results, and the eventual opening of a waterway will have results scarcely less important. The Panama Canal will achieve,...

Vitality Supreme
ISBN: 9781512278835 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The war cry of to-day in peace no less than in war is for efficiency. We need stronger, more capable men; healthier, superior women. Force is supreme-the king of all mankind. And it is force that stands back of efficiency, for efficiency, first of all, means power. It comes from power, and power either comes directly from inheritance or it is developed by an intelligent application of the laws that control the culture of the physique.

Stonecoast Review, Issue 3: Fall 2015
ISBN: 9781517055332 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the nature of writers. We write, we edit, we are declined. We write some more, we edit some more, and then maybe, we are accepted. This is the process that in part defines who we are-the ability to never cease, even after we fall down. These traits are found within The Stonecoast Review, a literary journal edited by the students in the Stonecoast MFA Program in Creative Writing, which is consistently ranked among the nation's top 10 low residency programs by Poets & Writers Magazine. We feature powerful, undiscovered voices next to widely-published and esteemed authors in their own...

The Turn of the Screw
ISBN: 9781533448408 / Angielski / Miękka / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Turn of the Screw is a short novel or a novella written by American writer Henry James. Originally published in 1898, it is ostensibly a ghost story that has lent itself well to operatic and film adaptation. Due to its ambiguous content and narrative skill, The Turn of the Screw became a favorite text of New Criticism. The account has lent itself to dozens of different interpretations, often mutually exclusive, including those of a Freudian nature. Many critics have tried to determine what exactly is the nature of evil within the story.

Four Just Men
ISBN: 9781535306096 / Angielski / Miękka / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. These are stories of the Four Just Men, Edgar Wallace's famous characters known to the wider public principally as a result of the early television series of the same name. The source material is, of course, far removed from its celluloid derivative. Far from being set in the world post WW2, the original stories take place in the colourful period immediately following the Great War.
