Mutiny and Its Bounty: Leadership Lessons from the Age of Discovery
ISBN: 9780300170283 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Violent mutiny was common in seafaring enterprises during the Age of Discovery--so common, in fact, that dealing with mutineers was an essential skill for captains and other leaders of the time. Mutinies in today's organizations are much quieter, more social and intellectual, and far less violent, yet the coordinated defiance of authority springs from dissatisfactions very similar to those of long-ago shipboard crews. This highly original book mines seafaring logs and other archives of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century ship captains and discovers instructive lessons for today's leaders facing...

The Media Commons: Globalization and Environmental Discourses
ISBN: 9780252082535 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Today's global media sustains a potent new environmental consciousness. Paradoxically, it also serves as a far-reaching platform that promotes the unsustainable consumption ravaging our planet. Patrick Murphy musters theory, fieldwork, and empirical research to map how the media communicates today's many distinct, competing, and even antagonistic environmental discourses. The media draws the cultural boundaries of our environmental imagination--and influences just who benefits. Murphy's analysis emphasizes social context, institutional alignments, and commercial media's ways of rendering...

ISBN: 9780313272707 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Staging the Impossible" explores the most recent critical thinking on the relationship between the literary mode of the fantastic and the literary genre of drama with respect to modern theatre. While a few monographs treat a particular dimension of the fantastic in drama, the Gothic or the fairy tale for instance, no other volume provides a critically sophisticated introduction to the diversity of fantastic drama written and performed in this century. The essays here lay to rest the illusion that realism is the only genuine form of theatrical expression and the notion that cinema special...

How the West Was Lost: Coping With Life in a Strange, New Civilization
ISBN: 9781420855302 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. His premise is that civilizations have "life spans," and the Western civilization that produced America and Europe has been replaced, in our lifetime, and before our very eyes. To people whose minds were made by the West, the civilization we now find ourselves in often feels wrong, evil even, but we also find ourselves feeling oddly affectionate toward this strange new world. And the more time that passes, the more "normal" the New Civ gets to feel. We sometimes have to "pinch" ourselves to remember that society once had roots in a universe that knew something of moral absolutes, where the...
