James Longstreet: The Man, the Soldier, the Controversy
ISBN: 9780938289968 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Few figures from the American Civil War have generated more controversy than Confederate general James Longstreet. As the senior officer present at Pickett's Charge, he has been blamed by many, particularly in the South, for the decisive Confederate defeat at Gettysburg. Other scholars have cited his exemplary combat record during the Civil War and looked to rivals within the Confederate hierarchy or his post-war support for the Northern-based Republican Party as sources for the criticism leveled at him. Richard L. DiNardo and Albert A. Nofi have assembled some of the top Civil War and...

Central West End, St. Louis
ISBN: 9781531604998 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the 1860s, with bustling river traffic alive with boats and men, St. Louis was a picturesque river town. This was the St. Louis that Mark Twain, Edna Ferber, and T.S. Eliot wrote about: a town on the mysterious but profitable Mississippi. After the Civil War, profits from contracts with the Union and river trading brought increased wealth to the community. Prosperous residents were challenged to find land that could hold their prestigious mansions and gardens. Their eyes turned to the western section of the town, which in time became known as the Central West End.

ISBN: 9781531600150 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Lafayette Square has always been a reflection of the life and times of St. Louis, Missouri.

Following that era, Lafayette Square was developed into a showplace for the Victorian era, featuring fantastic gardens, gazebos, a bandstand, an aquarium, and a boathouse. On May 27, 1896, a tornado plowed through the area and destroyed most of its foliage and buildings. Following this tragedy, many homeowners fled to the Central West End, and the once elegant...

ISBN: 9780521826495 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Richard Grusin's innovative study investigates how the establishment of national parks contributed to the development of American national identity after the Civil War. Although parks are seen as an uncomplicated means of environmental preservation, Grusin argues that they must also be understood as complex cultural technologies dedicated to the reproduction of nature as landscape art. He explores the origins of America's three major parks--Yosemite, Yellowstone, and Grand Canyon--in relationship to other forms of landscape representation, including photography, mapping, travel writing and...

Democratic Theory and Mass Incarceration
ISBN: 9780190243098 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The United States leads the world in incarceration, and the United Kingdom is persistently one of the European countries with the highest per capita rates of imprisonment. Yet despite its increasing visibility as a social issue, mass incarceration - and its inconsistency with core democratic ideals - rarely surfaces in contemporary Anglo-American political theory. Democratic Theory and Mass Incarceration seeks to overcome this puzzling disconnect by deepening the dialogue between democratic theory and punishment policy. This collection of original essays initiates a...
