Rambling musings and a few short stories.
ISBN: 9781451520095 / Angielski / Miękka / 70 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a compilation of blogs that I have written on stray issues which caught my fancy as well as a few essays and short stories over the period of the last three years. In a sense they are a reflection of life as seen through the eyes of an urban middle class Indian professional who has witnessed his country transforming rapidly from a laid back and sluggish giant into a throbbing engine of world economic growth, that swears by consumerism even as he went about his mundane daily life.

Essays on Social Psychology
ISBN: 9781412811309 / Angielski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. George H. Mead (1863-1931) is a central, founding figure of modern sociology, comparable to Karl Marx and Max Weber. Mead's early work, prior to his posthumous publications that appeared after 1932, is believed to be a series of articles contemporary scholarship defines as disconnected. A previously unknown, never published set of galleys for a book of essays by Mead, written between 1892 and 1910, unites these articles into a logical perspective. Essays in Social Psychology, Mead's -first- book, clearly locates him within a significantly different tradition and network than documented...

ISBN: 9780822348320 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Introducing this collection of essays, Francoise Lionnet and Shu-mei Shih argue that looking back investigating the historical, intellectual, and political entanglements of contemporary academic disciplines offers a way for scholars in the humanities to move critical debates forward. They describe how disciplines or methodologies that seem distinct today emerged from overlapping intellectual and political currents in the 1960s and early 1970s, in the era of decolonization, the U.S. civil rights movement, and antiwar activism. While both American ethnic studies programs and French theory...

Gossip: The Untrivial Pursuit
ISBN: 9780547844596 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Gossip is no trivial matter; despite its reputation, Epstein argues, it is an eternal and necessary human enterprise. Proving that he himself is a master of the art, Epstein serves up delightful mini-biographies of the Great Gossips of the Western World, along with many choice bits from his own experience. He also makes a powerful case that gossip has morphed from its old-fashioned best clever, mocking, a great private pleasure to a corrosive new-school version, thanks to the reach of the mass media and the Internet.
Written in his trademark erudite and witty style, Gossip captures... Gossip is no trivial matter; despite its reputation, Epstein argues, it is an eternal and necessary human enterprise. Proving that he himself is a mas...

La imposicion del "Sistema Medico Familiar" se baso en suposiciones erroneas, dogmaticas, romanticas y cursis. El...
