Tourism and Social Identities
ISBN: 9780080450742 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The making and consuming of tourism takes place within a complex social milieu, with competing actors drawing into the product peoples history, culture and lifestyles. Culture and people thus become part of the tourism product.

Some of the answers are likely to focus around...

The Crowd in the French Revolution
ISBN: 9780195003703 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. What kinds of people were in the crowds that stormed the Bastille, marched to Versailles to bring the king and queen back to Paris, overthrew the monarchy in August 1792, or impassively witnessed the downfall of Robespierre on 9 Thermidor? Who led these crowds or mobilized them to action? What did they hope to achieve, and how far were their aims realized? Earlier historians have tended to view the revolutionary crowd as an abstraction--"people" or "mob" according to the writer's prejudice--often even as the personification of good or evil. Professor Rude's book, published originally in 1959,...

Men and women differ in their sexual natures because throughout the...

Morality, Normativity, and Society
ISBN: 9780195144017 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Moral claims not only assume to be true, but they also guide our choices. This fascinating book presents a new theory of normative judgment, the "standard-based theory," which offers a schematic account of the truth conditions of normative propositions of all kinds, including moral propositions and propositions about reasons. Here, David Copp argues that because any society needs a social moral code in order to enable its members to live together successfully, and because it would be rational for a society to choose such a system, certain moral codes--and the standards they include--are...

ISBN: 9780195146066 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Faith in the free market--the idea that profit seeking, managed care companies will improve the health care delivery system--has become a hot topic in the public policy debate. But, as Joel Blau demonstrates in this splendid work, so-called "free market" programs have been a dismal failure. Here, he launches a far-reaching assault on the idea that "the market" knows best. He looks at recent reforms in NAFTA, education, job training, welfare, and much more, showing that the new social policies have made matters worse and calling for a stronger, more caring government to counter the...

Friday's Footprint : How Society Shapes the Human Mind
ISBN: 9780195147049 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A psychiatrist who has received international recognition for her research on the neural basis of primate social cognition, Leslie Brothers, M.D., offers here a major argument about the social dimension of the human brain, drawing on both her own work and a wealth of information from research laboratories, neurosurgical clinics, and psychiatric wards. Brothers offers the tale of Robinson Crusoe as a metaphor for neuroscience's classic (and flawed) notion of the brain: a starkly isolated figure, working, praying, writing alone. But the famous castaway of literature, she notes, came from...
