Since the 1948 war which drove them from their heartland, the Palestinian people have consistently been denied the most basic democratic rights.

Beginning with a thorough expose of the fraudulent assertions of Joan Peters concerning the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine prior to 1948, the book then turns to similar instances in Middle East research...

Bóg nie jest wielki
ISBN: 9788366661028 / Polski / twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Bóg nie jest wielki to ateistyczny podręcznik, bezlitosna rozprawa z grzechami i niegodziwościami wszelkich religii. Hitchens podaje w wątpliwość dogmaty i obnaża, niechlubną przeszłość wszystkich wierzeń. Dowodzi, że wiara często przekształca się w niszczycielską siłę, pełną pogardy i nienawiści wobec całych społeczności. Opisuje intelektualną podróż w kierunku świeckiego spojrzenia na świat, świat oparty na nauce i rozumie; świat, w którym wizję Nieba zastąpiły zapierające dech w piersiach zdjęcia z kosmosu. To nie Bóg nas stworzył. To my...

Among his many books, perhaps none have sparked more outrage than THE MISSIONARY POSITION, Christopher Hitchens's meticulous study of the life and deeds of Mother Teresa. A Nobel Peace Prize recipient beatified by the Catholic Church in 2003, Mother Teresa of Calcutta was celebrated by...
