English Historical Records
ISBN: 9780521079808 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book describes the nature of English historical records over the period 1200 1800. It surveys the records created by the state, the estates of landlords, and the Church. The work arises from an intensive research project (1973 81), which involved the manual and computerised analysis of all the surviving records for two parishes, in Westmorland and Essex, up to 1800. The book considers the administrative and judicial process, which led to the compilation of the documents, the survival and quantity of each class, the location and form of the material, and the hidden omissions, inaccuracies...

Secrets of the Modern World: F. W. Maitland
ISBN: 9781934840948 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Alan Macfarlane writes of F. W. Maitland:
When we consider that some five thousand pages of detailed findings, written about a hundred years ago, have been modified in only a few minor emphases and one or two facts, and that the bulk of Maitland's edifice still stands, we can begin to understand why he has an almost god-like status among historians who know the problems he faced and the elegance of his solutions. The great legal historian Vinogradoff disagreed with Maitland on some specific points, but shortly after Maitland's death wrote of him as 'the greatest legal historian of the...

Law and Violence in an Elizabethan Village
ISBN: 9781490403298 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. England has long been famous for its Common Law system and this has spread over much of the world through the influence of the British Empire. Yet there have been few studies of how it worked at the local level in past centuries. Based on intensive studies of the records of one English village in Essex, (Earls Colne) and on the wider court records, Alan Macfarlane and his colleagues have reconstructed the life of an Elizabethan woman and of her battles with some of the most powerful men in England.

ISBN: 9780631127611 / Angielski / Miękka / 1979 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book should stimulate work and thought rather than impose a new orthodoxy. Its combination of iconoclasm with questioning gives it an interest that is relatively rare in recent English historiography.

The Culture of Capitalism
ISBN: 9780631165576 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As both a historian and an anthropologist, Alan Macfarlane is able to explore capitalist society from a number of original perspectives. It is the essence of his argument that capitalism is more than an economic system: it is a culture that affects not just the material but also the social, familial, and even spiritual bases of existence. Drawing on new research data generated by detailed historical community studies, and literature on non–western societies, he offers searching observations on the origins of modern civilization. He considers, for example, the nature of evil, attitudes...

A Sentimental Economy: Commodity and Community in Rural Ireland
ISBN: 9781571818874 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. On the fringe of western Europe, yet fully integrated into the capitalist market, the rural economy of the west of Ireland seems to provide a fascinating object of analysis to the student of European folk cultures. This book concentrates on a particular aspect of that rural economy: the social organization and cultural construction of work in a community of family farms. The concept of work, which is primarily farm work, is taken here as a very elementary set of ideas, images and experiences that enable us to penetrate in the different cultural spheres that intersect life on an Irish...
