ISBN: 9780691149592 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When universities began in the Middle Ages, Pope Gregory IX described them as "wisdom's special workshop." He could not have foreseen how far these institutions would travel and develop. Tracing the eight-hundred-year evolution of the elite research university from its roots in medieval Europe to its remarkable incarnation today, Wisdom's Workshop places this durable institution in sweeping historical perspective. In particular, James Axtell focuses on the ways that the best American universities took on Continental influences, developing into the finest expressions of the modern...

The Invasion Within: The Contest of Cultures in Colonial North America
ISBN: 9780195041545 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Colonial North America was not only a battleground for furs and land, but also for allegiances and even souls. In the three-sided struggle for empire, the English and French colonists were locked in heated competition for native allies and religious converts. Axtell sharply contrasts the English efforts to civilize the Indians with the French willingness to accept native lifestyles, and reveals why the struggle for control over the continent became a fascinating contest of cultures between shrewd opponents lasting nearly 150 years.

Natives and Newcomers: The Cultural Origins of North America
ISBN: 9780195137712 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the past thirty years historians have come to realize that the shape and temper of early America was determined as much by its Indian natives as it was by its European colonizers. No one has done more to discover and recount this story than James Axtell, one of America's premier ethnohistorians. Natives and Newcomers is a collection of fifteen of his best and most influential essays, available for the first time in one volume. In accessible and often witty prose, Axtell describes the major encounters between Indians and Europeans--first contacts, communications, epidemics, trade...

Indians' New South: Cultural Change in the Colonial Southeast
ISBN: 9780807121726 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this concise but sweeping study, James Axtell depicts the complete range of transformations in southeastern Indian cultures as a result of contact, and often conflict, with European explorers and settlers in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. Stressing the dynamism and constant change in native cultures while showing no loss of Indian identity, Axtell effectively argues that the colonial Southeast cannot be fully understood without paying particular attention to its native inhabitants before their large-scale removal in the 1830s. Axtell begins by treating the... In this concise but sweeping study, James Axtell depicts the complete range of transformations in southeastern Indian cultures as a result of conta... |

The School Upon a Hill: Education and Society in Colonial New England
ISBN: 9780393008241 / Angielski / Miękka / 1976 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The School Upon a Hill is the first attempt to portray a view of education that, in the author's words, "enables us to see the educational process if not actually through children's eyes at least from their position in a Lilliputian universe." Its subject is socialization: the ways in which children in colonial New England were educated for life in society--whether it was the family, the church, or the larger community--and what they were taught that transformed them from cultureless newborns into functioning, obedient, and cooperative members of a distinctive society and culture.
