When Old Technologies Were New: Thinking about Electric Communication in the Late Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9780195063417 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Blood Sacrifice and the Nation: Totem Rituals and the American Flag
ISBN: 9780521626095 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The authors argue that American patriotism is a civil religion organized around a sacred flag, whose followers engage in periodic blood sacrifice of their own children to unify the group.

Hanging Ruth Blay: An Eighteenth-Century New Hampshire Tragedy
ISBN: 9781596298279 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 125 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. On a cold December morning in 1768, thirty-one-year-old Ruth Blay approached the gallows erected for her execution. Standing on the high ground in the northwest corner of what is now Portsmouth's old South Cemetery, she would have had a clear view across the pasture to the harbor and open sea. The eighteenth-century hanging of a schoolteacher for concealing the birth of a child out of wedlock has appeared in local legend over the last few centuries, but the full account of Ruth's story has never been told. Drawing on over two years of investigative research, author Carolyn Marvin brings to...

Place, Space, and Mediated Communication: Exploring Context Collapse
