Steadily increasing numbers of Americans have been diagnosed with asthma in recent years, attracting the attention of biomedical researchers, including those searching for a genetic link to the disease. The high rate of asthma among African American children has made race significant to this search for genetic predisposition. One of the primary sites for this research today is Barbados.

Simone de Beauvoir and the Limits of Commitment
ISBN: 9780521155304 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Simone de Beauvoir, whose name is inextricably linked with that of Jean-Paul Sartre, became famous as a leader of the existentialist movement and as a member of a coterie of influential left-wing intellectuals in postwar France. Latterly, however, she was perhaps best known as a leading advocate of feminism. Originally published in 1981, this was the first full-scale study of Simone de Beauvoir. The focus is the key existentialist concept of commitment (engagement), which is central to her thought, and its translation into action. Thus, a good deal of the book is devoted to a biographical...

The Histories
ISBN: 9780887486227 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Jason Whitmarsh's The Histories is an extravagantly funny and deeply affecting work of the imagination. With an obsessive precision, Whitmarsh catalogs our misunderstandings, our absurdities, our joys, and, above all, our sorrows. This is a world of stunning invention and lyric beauty: horsemen without horses, miniature Manhattan Projects, meditating kings and arguing gods, Wallace Stevens love songs and Kafka singing the blues. Though fragmented and incomplete, these histories get much of our experience--our hopes, our heartbreak--exactly right.

Beyond the Second Sophistic: Adventures in Greek Postclassicism
ISBN: 9780520276819 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The Second Sophistic traditionally refers to a period at the height of the Roman Empire s power that witnessed a flourishing of Greek rhetoric and oratory, and since the 19th century it has often been viewed as a defense of Hellenic civilization against the domination of Rome. This book proposes a very different model. Covering popular fiction, poetry and Greco-Jewish material, it argues for a rich, dynamic, and diverse culture, which cannot be reduced to a simple model of continuity. Shining new light on a series of playful, imaginative texts that are left out of the traditional accounts of...

How did Galen present himself as a reader and an author in comparison with other intellectuals of his day? Above all, how did he fashion himself as a medical practitioner, and how does that self-fashioning relate to the...
