Hovedbiblioteket stengt 12. august til 12. oktober. Hovedbiblioteket i Tønsberg skal få nye gulv i 1. og 2. etasje! Frem til vi stenger er samlingen tilgjengelig for publikum, men den vil gradvis bli flyttet ned i underetasjen.
Micheline Ishay recounts the dramatic struggle for human rights across the ages in a book that brilliantly synthesizes historical and intellectual developments from the Mesopotamian Codes of Hammurabi to today's era of globalization. As she chronicles the clash of social movements, ideas, and armies that have played a part in this struggle, Ishay illustrates how the history of human rights has evolved from one era to the next through texts, cultural traditions, and creative expression.
