Joanna Kavenna
The Ice Museum: In Search of the Lost Land of Thule

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: An amazing journey through myth and history in search of a lost world To the ancients, Thule was a land beyond the edge of the maps, a northerly dreamland. It was a mystery for thousands of years, long thought to be an icy Eden, a place of exquisite beauty and unequaled purity. The lost world of Thule captured the imagination of poets, artists, explorers, and, most recently, writer Joanna Kavenna, who set out on a harrowing and exhilarating voyage of discovery. Her journey took her to Shetland, Iceland, Norway, Estonia, Greenland, and Svalbard?into the Arctic wilderness, over frozen seas and ice mountains?in search of this most haunting of northern places. As she travels, Kavenna finds traces of earlier writers and seekers: Richard Francis Burton, William Morris, Anthony Trollope, and Norwegian explorer Fridtjof Nansen. But she comes to discover that a darkness also inhabits Thule. She finds ice-bound relics of the cold war. She unearths the story of the… [detailed...]

Description: The Idea Miners: The Lost Lake Dig is set in 1750--although the year has little impact on the story. The protagonist, Joey, lives on an isolated farm. He`s in the midst of a hot, miserable summer. His only friend, Ben, has moved away, and his pa is pressuring him to do more work. Feeling sorry for himself, Joey steals away to the Hole--a deep pool in the stream behind his house--where he is confronted by a strange man. The man gives him two glowing balls, and tells him to give one to his pa. The balls are magical, and spur Joey`s pa to remember a forgotten childhood memory where children are challenged to help in another world. The other world is called the Land of Lights, and is the origin of all ideas. The strange man has selected Joey to help in this parallel world. Joey travels to the Land of Lights and finds Ben waiting for him. Together, they join an expedition to retrieve a `gusher`--a buoyant, glowing sphere that holds an as-yet unthought-of brilliant idea.

The Idea of Capitalism Before the Industrial Revolution

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Invented in post-industrial 19th century Europe, the idea of capitalism originally sought to describe and explain the distinctive characteristics of an emerging modern world. Since then, capitalism has served to identify an economic system, a particular social structure, and a set of cultural values and mental attitudes. The subject of continuous debate among scholars for more than a century, capitalism has been accorded so many definitions, it is now virtually meaningless. Depending upon the interpreter, capitalism is synonymous with the market economy, the division of labor, credit creation, economic concentration, social polarization, class formation, the decline of kinship and community, patriarchy, property rights, contracts, acquisitiveness, the work ethic, conspicuous consumption, individualism and entrepreneurship. Noted economic historian Richard Grassby investigates the origins and evolution of the idea of capitalism to illustrate for readers the true nature, merits, and the… [detailed...]

Description: This book offers an answer to the question: what is public law? It suggests that an adequate explanation can only be given once public law is recognized to be an autonomous discipline, with its own distinctive methods and tasks. Martin Loughlin defends this claim by identifying the conceptual foundations of the public law: governing, politics, representation, sovereignty, constituent power, and rights. By explicating these basic elements of the subject, he seeks not only to lay bare its method but also to present a novel account of the idea of public law. Формат: 15,5 см х 23,5 см. [detailed...]

Dox`s work is a significant contribution to the history of ideas that will change forever the standard narrative of the birth and development of theatrical activity in medieval Europe.` ---Margaret Knapp, Arizona State University `…an elegantly concise survey of the way classical notions of theater have been interpreted in the Latin Middle Ages. Dox convincingly demonstrates that far from there being a single `medieval` attitude towards theater, there was in fact much debate about how theater could be understood to function within Christian tradition, even in the so-called `dark ages` of Western culture.

The Identity Trap: Saving Our Teens from Themselves

2007 y.
Publisher: AMACOM/American Management Association
Description: Violent behavior. Eating disorders. Drug use and drinking. Self- mutilation. These are just some of the troubling issues arising with increased frequency among teens. As they negotiate adolescence, our children become harder to reach -- and are more at risk. In order to help them, we need to understand what is really behind their problems. The answer lies in the very nature of adolescence: the quest for identity. `Who am I?` is the central question of growing up, and The Identity Trap gets to the heart of why our teens so easily fall prey to their own worst impulses and to the destructive habits of their peers. Nowinski, a psychologist who has worked with troubled teens for over two decades, demonstrates that traditional methods of discipline (e.g. reward and punishment) will have no lasting effect if the root causes of teens` problems are left unchecked. This eye-opening book offers real solutions for opening the lines of communication and helping children survive the seemingly… [detailed...]

These readings expose generic instability in very provocative ways. Each chapter, each pair of works struck me as exquisitely performed.
