ISBN: 9780333990377 / Angielski / Twarda / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is an analysis of the dilemmas confronting the communist party after Stalin's death in 1953.

ISBN: 9780333997659 / Angielski / Twarda / 229 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Conservatism in Crisis? examines the distinctive features of British and American conservative writings on government and society in the post-Cold War era. Despite Conservative's victories over their socialist opponents, this has not led to the uncontested dominance of their ideas. By looking at the challenges Conservatives face from such present day opponents as multiculturalists and environmentalists, Bruce Pilbeam examines the possibility that conservatism is exhausted as an ideology of contemporary relevance.

Plato's the Republic
ISBN: 9780334040347 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Republic is arguably Plato's most important work and was written in his middle period, around 370-5 BC. It is a philosophical masterpiece containing acute political theory as well as being great literature, and as such is not easily understood on first acquaintance. It has as its central problem the nature of justice. In a word, what is justice? The central character is said to be Socrates, Plato's own teacher as a young man, whom he had seen tried and executed for his politics and religion. The Republic is an examination of the figure of the philosopher, an examination of metaphysics,...

ISBN: 9780393310658 / Angielski / Miękka / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Chinese intellectuals have a traditional duty, for which there is no equivalent in the West: to worry, to "take responsibility for all under heaven, to argue the question "What can we do with China?" In this utterly absorbing gem of a book (Library Journal), Perry Link conveys the worries besetting China s most prominent writers, journalists, scientists, professors, and dissident officials. Link creates an invaluable opening onto China s best and brightest hearts and minds (Kirkus Reviews), allowing the Chinese themselves to tell us why Beijing took to the streets in Spring 1989."

ISBN: 9780393318555 / Angielski / Miękka / 622 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After the death of John Kennedy, LBJ and RFK were the dominant political figures of the 1960s, each fighting for the spotlight, each struggling to emerge from the other's shadow. Their arguments echoed across the nation, as "Johnson men" and "Kennedy men" waged political turf battles and the press portrayed every disagreement as a claim on the legacy of the fallen JFK. By 1968, two men who were once allies had become bitter rivals for the presidency of the United States. Drawing on previously unexamined recordings and documents, as well as memoirs, biographies, and scores of personal...

ISBN: 9780393324280 / Angielski / Miękka / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. To the dismay of many in the West, the Gulf War ended with Saddam Hussein still in control, still defiant, and more determined to use any means of striking back. How far did he go? And now that Afghanistan's ruling Taliban has been vanquished and the al Quaeda network scattered, how far should the United States go in pursuit of its war on terrorism? The central question posed in this book is whether a future Iraq without Saddam Hussein will be even more unstable and more problematical to the security of the United States. The Reckoning is an account of the forces historical, religious,...

Sociology Responds to Fascism
ISBN: 9780415040860 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over recent years there has been growing interest in the relations between academic intellectuals and professionals under the Nazi regime. Several works on Heidegger, Nazi doctors and Paul de Man have appeared. This book attempts to do for sociology what has been done for other fields: to demythologize the pre-war role of sociologists and provide a serious historical basis for reflection on it. The myth is simple: that the noble and clear-sighted Frankfurt School was expelled by Hitler and raised the consciousness of the west. The realities are considerably more complex. During and after the...

ISBN: 9780415044691 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The last 200 years have seen a massive increase in the size of the world economy and equally massive inequalities of wealth and power between different parts of the world. They have also witnessed the rise to dominance of the capitalist mode of production. Marxists, from Marx himself though to present day thinkers, have argued that these changes are profoundly interconnected. This book offers an account of the arguments for these interconnections, which are usually couched in terms of theories of imperialism.
