ISBN: 9780748632992 / Angielski / Twarda / 426 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

However, the backbone of Deleuze's philosophy - the many and varied sources from which he draws the material for his conceptual innovation - has until now remained relatively obscure and unexplored.This book takes as its goal the examination...

An Introduction to Late Modern English
ISBN: 9780748625970 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Some twenty years ago it was widely believed that nothing much happened to the English language since the beginning of the eighteenth century. Recent research has shown that this is far from true, and this book offers an introduction to a period that forms the tail end of the standardisation process (codification and prescription), during which important social changes such as the Industrial Revolution are reflected in the language. Late Modern English is currently receiving a lot of scholarly attention, mainly as a result of new developments in sociohistorical linguistics and corpus...

Sugata Saurabha an Epic Poem from Nepal on the Life of the Buddha by Chittadhar Hridaya
ISBN: 9780195341829 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Sugata Saurabha is an epic poem that retells the story of the Buddha's life.

The effect is to humanize the founder and add the...
