Tournament - audiobook
ISBN: 9781852855314 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

It was a one-day event, but when joined to ancillary festivals it could extend it to several days.

Colonial Psychosocial: Reading William Lane
ISBN: 9781443867559 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A small, bespectacled man with impressive moustaches and a devastating way with words, William Lane was at first delighted with the pliant disposition of the society he found emerging in the colonies of Australia.

To this combustible atmosphere, Lane contributed all the excesses of his blistering rhetoric and seductive hyperbole; he mesmerised his audience with all the things it feared. Colonial Psychosocial traverses the 'darkness' of colonial...
