ISBN: 9780631189596 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Power. Interest. Freedom. Responsibility. Connolly explores and confronts sets of interrelated concepts such as these - concepts whose meanings are persistently subject to debate in the context of political discourse.

Indians and Leftists in the Making of Ecuador's Modern Indigenous Movements
ISBN: 9780822342793 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In this richly documented...

The Making of a Catholic President: Kennedy vs. Nixon 1960
ISBN: 9780195374483 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 1960 presidential election, won ultimately by John F. Kennedy, was one of the closest and most contentious in American history. The country had never elected a Roman Catholic president, and the last time a Catholic had been nominated--New York Governor Al Smith in 1928--he was routed in the general election. From the outset, Kennedy saw the religion issue as the single most important obstacle on his road to the White House. He was acutely aware of, and deeply frustrated by, the possibility that his personal religious beliefs could keep him out of the White House.

This is an introductory account of social theory and the central role of enlightenment within it.

ISBN: 9789056995287 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
