The Taoist school of Chinese medicine has long advocated the con cept of a body ecology, where being in harmony with the environ ment cultivates harmony in the body.

Происхождение итальянского возрождения. Том 1.
Эта работа, состоящая из трех частей, ставит своей задачей осветить истоки искусства итальянского Возрождения. Писать об истоках ренессансного искус-ства - значит писать об истоках реализма, корни которого связаны с культурой ХІІІ века, когда во всех областях жизни наметились глубокие сдвиги. Этот инте-реснейший процесс уже давно привлек внимание ученых. В частности, и автор данной книги пытался проследить в ряде специальных статей сложные пути раз-вития живописи дученто, находившейся под сильнейшим византийским влиянием и лишь с трудом сумевшей обрести свой собственный национальный язык.

Theories of International Relations. Sixth edition
International Relations has had a strong theoretical orientation throughout its century-long aca-demic study.

It is also crucial to understand the changed intellectual and international contexts in which scholars have theorized across more than a century of study. This has been the chief purpose of Theories of International Relations over its lifetime, and it remains the purpose of this sixth edition.

Writing for Academic Journals. Third edition
This book is based on the assumption that the writing skills you learned in school – which is when most people seem to learn most about writing – do not equip you for your entire career. This means that we can develop our writing skills throughout our careers, and that writing development – or whatever you want to call it – is not remedial; far from it.

Academic Writing and Publishing: A Practical Handbook
Academic Writing and Publishing will show academics (mainly in the social sciences) how to write and publish research articles. Its aim is to supply examples and brief discussions of recent work in all aspects of the area in short, sharp chapters. It should serve as a handbook for postgraduates and lecturers new to publishing. The book is written in a readable and lively personal style. The advice given is direct and based on up-to-date research that goes beyond that given in current textbooks. For example, the chapter on titles lists different kinds of titles and their purposes not discussed in other texts. The chapter on abstracts instructs the reader on writing structured abstracts from the start.
