ISBN: 9780375710803 / Angielski / Miękka / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. D. Nurkse s Burnt Island explores tragedy both grand and intimate, in city and country, in our own troubled moment and across the greater scope of geological time. Arranged in three suites of lucid, often heart-wrenching verse, the book begins with a city under siege, in a group of poems that becomes a subtle homage to New York after 9/11 a metaphorical burnt island, where diggers doze on their shovels, citizens contribute bottles of water, M&M s, and casseroles to recovery efforts, and survivors, mesmerized by the photos of the missing, compare them scar by scar with the faces of the...

The more unique the case, the more we need to study it not only to understand the case itself but also to understand the structure and limits of environmentalism in general. We hope that we have been able to show the value of this research strategy. The way we have organized our study is different from the Rootes study (2003). This study emphasizes the importance of different environmental cultures and of political conjunctures in a single country of which different environm- tal groups take advantage. We are not arguing against the fact that branches of...

Haldane, when asked by a clergyman what he could infer about God from the works of creation, responded, He must have had an inordinate fondness for beetles. Were I asked to infer something essential about Homo sapiens from his work, I should probably reply that this zoological odd-ball required humor to lighten a life taken too seriously. How else can we explain the fact that very profession has its underground classic of humorous self-deprecation and verse? Garstang s Larval Forms has long filled this role for evolutionary biology. But, as a...
