Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) For centuries, science and religion have been portrayed as diametrically opposed.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book is a review of extraordinary new hypotheses that might reasonably be characterized as 'dissenting science.'
