The War Against the Seals: A History of the North American Seal Fishery
ISBN: 9780773506107 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Controversy arises whenever and wherever the sealing industry is discussed.

All the many species of seals hunted received due consideration, as do walruses and sea otters, also part of the larger sealing industry. Above all, this book studies the fur...

Virgil: Aeneid VI
ISBN: 9781853996535 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This pivotal book of the "Aeneid" has Aeneas - like Odysseus in "Odyssey XI" - visiting the Underworld. He is poised, as it were, between the world of his 'Homeric' past, the wanderings he has undergone in the poem's first half, and the destiny mapped out for his descendants, which culminates in the age of Augustus and his lost successor Marcellus. Aeneas is at once a figure of past, present and future. This new edition replaces the long-serving edition by Gould & Whiteley, making the book more accessible to today's students and taking account of the most recent scholarship and critical...

Bunker Hill to Bastogne: Elite Forces and American Society
ISBN: 9781574887761 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. America's curiosity about elite military units is greater than ever in today's crisis-ridden world. And while numerous books have examined the various elite forces, Bunker Hill to Bastogne goes much further to show the relationship between these special units and the societies that gave birth to them. Though America in general has often regarded its military establishment as an unfortunate necessity, elite formations have nearly always emerged in moments of crisis. And while their exploits have fostered the cherished image of the individualistic but loyal rifleman-ranger, these legends...

Whaling Will Never Do for Me: The American Whaleman in the Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9780813193427 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "I just begin to find out that whaling will never do for me and have determined to leave the ship here if possible." That sentiment, expressed by a foremast hand aboard the ship Caroline in 1843, is one shared by many of the whalemen in this fascinating book. Interest in Herman Melville's Moby Dick has contributed to a substantial literature on the history and lore of the industry. But not until now has the vast body of surviving whaleship logs and journals been used to paint an encompassing picture of the difficult but colorful life aboard nineteenth-century American whaling... "I just begin to find out that whaling will never do for me and have determined to leave the ship here if possible." That sentiment, expressed by a... |
