Industrialisation and the British Colonial State: West Africa 1939-1951
ISBN: 9780714647036 / Angielski / Twarda / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This historical study of the attitudes of the British Colonial Office towards industrialization in the colonial empire challenges the assumption that London and the colonial governments colluded to frustrate individual initiatives, leaving a legacy of under-development.

He also examines problems faced by the Colonial Office in implementing its...

They not only reveal the law's insufficient comprehension of...

Nature in Our Culture: A Study in the Anthropology and the Sociology of Knowing
ISBN: 9780761820024 / Angielski / Miękka / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nature in Our Culture shows that today's environmental problems are not a consequence of an incorrect science, but of the evolution of Western society. Friedrich W. Sixel acknowledges that the dominant culture that has evolved in modernity serves, primarily, the dominance of that culture. An egoistic instrumentalism forces the modern individual to view everything in terms of its usefulness. Sixel argues that only a culture that resurrects in itself its own Nature-ness will rectify our presently problematic Nature.
