ISBN: 9780306811265 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Sweeping away misconceptions about the "Me Decade," Bruce Schulman offers a fast-paced, wide-ranging, and brilliant examination of the political, cultural, social, and religious upheavals of the 1970s.

Making the American Century
ISBN: 9780199845392 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Rightward Bound: Making America Conservative in the 1970s
ISBN: 9780674027589 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Often considered a lost decade, a pause between the liberal Sixties and Reagan's Eighties, the 1970s were indeed a watershed era when the forces of a conservative counter-revolution cohered. These years marked a significant moral and cultural turning point in which the conservative movement became the motive force driving politics for the ensuing three decades. Interpreting the movement as more than a backlash against the rampant liberalization of American culture, racial conflict, the Vietnam War, and Watergate, these provocative and innovative essays look below the surface,...

This is a carefully executed study of the effects of federal economic policy in transforming the American South from the time of the New Deal to the present.

ISBN: 9780801453724 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.
