Au Pair
ISBN: 9780745650111 / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Many families leave their children for years to be looked after by young people about whom they know next to nothing, from places they have barely heard of. Who are these au pairs, why do they come and what is their experience of this arrangement? Do they, for their part, find that they are treated as one of the family, and would they even want to be? After a year of careful research, this book shows how most of our assumptions and expectations about au pairs are wrong.
This is the first book devoted to the lives of au pairs, their leisure as well as their work time. We see this... Many families leave their children for years to be looked after by young people about whom they know next to nothing, from places they have barely hea...

Wall Street at War : The Secret Struggle for the Global Economy
ISBN: 9780745644172 / Twarda / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Many of the problems that lie at the heart of the current financial crisis stem from a significant but little-known development that occurred in the early 1980s: the credit agencies that flourished in New York, London and elsewhere acquired a great deal of power because their ratings now reflected investors shifting priorities, and so controlled the ability of corporations to gain access to capital.
The rise of the credit agencies thereby also represented a new model of capitalism, quite different from the old model of the risk-taking entrepreneur. To attract investment capital,...

An Anthropology of Puzzles: The Role of Puzzles in the Origins and Evolution of Mind and Culture
ISBN: 9781350170049 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. An Anthropology of Puzzles argues that the human brain is a "puzzling organ" which allows humans to literally solve their own problems of existence through puzzle format. Noting the presence of puzzles everywhere in everyday life, Marcel Danesi looks at puzzles in society since the dawn of history, showing how their presence has guided large sections of human history, from discoveries in mathematics to disquisitions in philosophy. Danesi examines the cognitive processes that are involved in puzzle making and solving, and connects them to the actual physical manifestations of classic...

Roots & Culture: Cultural Politics in the Making of Black Britain
ISBN: 9781350148451 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. How did a distinct and powerful Black British identity emerge? In the 1950s, when many Caribbean migrants came to Britain, there was no such recognised entity as "Black Britain." Yet by the 1980s, the cultural landscape had radically changed, and a remarkable array of creative practices such as theatre, poetry, literature, music and the visual arts gave voice to striking new articulations of Black-British identity. This new book chronicles the extraordinary blend of social, political and cultural influences from the mid-1950s to late 1970s that gave rise to new heights of Black-British...
