ISBN: 9783319483719 / Angielski / Twarda / 113 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9783658162672 / Angielski / Miękka / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Schulz analyses works of Don DeLillo, Jess Walter and Martha McPhee to explore the complex and multifaceted interaction between culture and the economy. These authors shed light on the impact of neoliberal economic policies and create a dialogue...

Emerson and the History of Rhetoric fills this gap in our knowledge, reenvisioning Emerson's work through his significant engagement with rhetorical theory throughout his career and providing a more profound understanding of Emerson's influence on...
