The Slain Wood: Papermaking and Its Environmental Consequences in the American South
ISBN: 9781421418780 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. When the paper industry moved into the South in the 1930s, it confronted a region in the midst of an economic and environmental crisis.

In The Slain Wood, William Boyd chronicles the dramatic growth of the pulp...

Stars and Bars
ISBN: 9780141046921 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. All Henderson Dores dreams of is fitting in. But America, land of the loony millionaire and the subway poet, down-home Bible-basher and sharp-suited hood, of paralysing personal frankness and surreally fantasized facilities, is hard enough for an Englishman to fit in to.

Falling back on his deep-laid reserves of misanthropy and guile, Morgan has to fight off the sea of humiliation,...
