ISBN: 9780813565194 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. After Cuba's 1959 revolution, the Castro government sought to instill a new social order.

Primate Locomotion: Linking Field and Laboratory Research
ISBN: 9781461427773 / Angielski / Miękka / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Primate locomotion has typically been studied from two points of view. Laboratory-based researchers have focused on aspects like biomechanics and energetics, whereas field-based researchers have focused on (locomotor) behaviour and ecology. Unfortunately, to date, there is relatively little scientific exchange between both groups. With a book, which will be the result of a symposium on the 2008 Meeting of the International Primatological Society in Edinburgh, we would like to bring together laboratory and field-based primate locomotion studies. We are convinced this will be beneficial for... Primate locomotion has typically been studied from two points of view.

Kulturelle Vielfalt Und Urheberrecht: Urheberrecht ALS Instrument Im Rahmen Des Unesco-Uebereinkommens Zum Schutz Und Zur Foerderung Der Vielfalt Kult
ISBN: 9783631644133 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Das UNESCO-Ubereinkommen zur kulturellen Vielfalt wurde vielfach als Magna Charta des Kulturvolkerrechts bezeichnet. Es scheint paradox, dass ein solch umfassender Vertrag zur Kulturpolitik kaum auf die Bedeutung des Urheberrechts fur kulturelles Schaffen verweist. Diese Arbeit analysiert die Wechselwirkungen zwischen kultureller Vielfalt und Urheberrecht. So wird einerseits die Rolle des Urheberrechts im UNESCO-Ubereinkommen untersucht. Andererseits wird gepruft, wie die volkerrechtlichen Urheberrechtsvertrage RBU, WCT und TRIPS auf die Forderung kultureller Vielfalt wirken. Mittels...

Absent Culture: The Case of Polish Livonia
ISBN: 9783631636466 / Angielski / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book forms a monograph of the local culture of the old Polish Livonia, practically absent in contemporary humanistic research. It includes historical and anthropological recapitulation of the phenomenon, but it also tries to describe cultural mechanisms characteristic in the so-called border situations, on a specific example. An important part of the description is an attempt to capture the phenomenon of local Polish-Livonian identity, enshrined in the literary and scientific projects of Polish Livonians. They form a misguided, unsuccessful representation the land in the discourse of...

The Persistence of Sail in the Age of Steam: Underwater Archaeological Evidence from the Dry Tortugas
ISBN: 9781489901415 / Angielski / Miękka / 189 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Archaeology Under Water (1966: 19), pioneer nautical archaeologist George Bass pointed out how much easier it is to train someone who is already an archaeologist to become a diver than to take trained divers and teach them to do archaeology. While this is 'generally true, there have also been occasions when well-trained and enthusiastic sport-divers have been willing to accept the train- ing and discipline necessary to conduct good archaeological science, becoming first-rate scholars in the process. Dr. Donna Souza's book is the product of just such a transition. It shows how a sport-diver...

The Idea of Disability in the Eighteenth Century
ISBN: 9781611485592 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Idea of Disability in the Eighteenth Century explores disabled people who lived in the eighteenth century. The first four essays consider philosophical writing dating between 1663 and 1788, when the understanding of disability altered dramatically. We begin with Margaret Cavendish, whose natural philosophy rejected ideas of superiority or inferiority between individuals based upon physical or mental difference. We then move to John Locke, the founder of empiricism in 1680, who believed that the basis of knowledge was observability, but who, faced with the lack of anything to observe,...

Understanding European Movements: New Social Movements, Global Justice Struggles, Anti-Austerity Protest
ISBN: 9781138025462 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. European social movements have been central to European history, politics, society and culture, and have had a global reach and impact. Yet they have rarely been taken on their own terms in the English-language literature, considered rather as counterpoints to the US experience. This has been exacerbated by the failure of Anglophone social movement theorists to pay attention to the substantial literatures in languages such as French, German, Spanish or Italian - and by the increasing global dominance of English in the production of news and other forms of media. This book sets out to take the...
