Rough Justice: Young People in the Shadows
ISBN: 9780820468020 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Even in an age of economic prosperity, there are young people who live on the edge of western societies and who are held accountable for their every indiscretion, sometimes even for those of others. This book employs a sociological imagination to make connections between the public issues and private troubles of youth living on the street. The narrative is pedagogical in intent, seeking to make sense of seemingly antisocial behavior, understood in the context of broader social, political, and economic concerns. In particular, it speaks to the -helping- professions of education, law, social...

ISBN: 9781409435426 / Angielski / Twarda / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Appearing more than twenty years after the revolutions in Central and Eastern Europe, this book could not have come at a more appropriate time; a time to take stock not only of the changes but also the continuities in media systems of the region since 1989. To what extent are media institutions still controlled by political forces? To what extent are media markets operating in Central and Eastern Europe? Do media systems in Central and Eastern Europe resemble media systems in other parts of Europe? The answers to these questions are not the same for each country in the region. Their...

Gadamer and the Limits of the Modern Techno-Scientific Civilization
ISBN: 9783034306638 / Angielski / Miękka / 295 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is an attempt to provide a systematic interpretation of Hans-Georg Gadamer s hermeneutics in light of one of the most important, interesting and debated questions of the present age: the question concerning the role played by science and technology in shaping our civilization. The author argues that this question lies at the heart of Gadamer s thought, and that such an approach to his philosophy might help to overcome some inveterate interpretive prejudices, like, for example, the idea of Gadamer as an anti-scientific and politically authoritarian thinker. In order to clarify these...

Film and Political Culture in Postwar Japan
ISBN: 9781433117671 / Angielski / Twarda / 167 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study of Japanese political culture from c. 1940 to 2009 challenges standard periodizations of -postwar- Japan, arguing that the postwar period began, much later than previously argued, when a culture of pacifism developed. We can see evidence of this in feature films from the era and in the activities of groups involved in film promotion and criticism. Film and Political Culture in Postwar Japan asks us to take Japanese pacifism seriously and not assume that it is merely a passing phenomenon. This study of the political left questions previous assumptions about such...

The Press March to War: Newspapers Set the Stage for Military Intervention in Post-World War II America
ISBN: 9781433113765 / Angielski / Twarda / 293 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 2003 war against Iraq was not the first instance of a president taking the nation into foreign conflict assisted by a submissive Congress and national press corps that did not adequately challenge the case for intervention. All foreign U.S. military action since World War II has been undertaken without the constitutionally required declaration of war, and with the support of the national press corps. Factors behind this press complicity which is at odds with the traditional press role of watchdog over government policies include political, economic, and national security ideologies the...

How to Conquer the Barriers to Intercultural Dialogue: Christianity, Islam and Judaism
ISBN: 9789052013732 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In a world society ruled by economic globalisation, by political interests and theories such as Huntington s -clash of civilisations- that widen the gap between the North and the South, the question should be asked of the role of the religion.
To what extent religion and politics can work together? Can faith still be thought as a means of saving the world? Considering that Christianity, Islam and Judaism have much in common, this collection of miscellanies wonders if these religions can join their forces for public benefit. Senior and junior scholars from all over the world,...

ISBN: 9789052019765 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. -Fine idea - was the only response of President F.D. Roosevelt to the Polish Prime Minister Wladyslaw Sikorski s conception of creating a Central and East European federation presented in 1942. Despite the President s sweeping statement, the idea of the federation was given serious consideration by the Advisory Committee of the Department of State. The documents from the National Archives in Washington presented here show that the road to a united Europe could have led through the integration of its Eastern part. This study presents new insights into such issues as the American Advisers'...

Contemporary Sociological Theory: Preface by Ulrich Beck
ISBN: 9780820467955 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contemporary Sociological Theory is an atypical book, in that it is the expression of a sociology that is oriented toward praxis as well as being active. It combines rigorous research with facts, including the intention for a dialogical utopia. Is something like this possible? the professional sociologist asks, smiling mockingly, denying the possibility. But this broad intention is presented in the book, joining theory with critique and empirical research with praxis, in such a charming way that it grabs its readers and captures them under its spell.
