Saltpeter: The Mother of Gunpowder
ISBN: 9780199695751 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is the story of saltpeter, the vital but mysterious substance craved by governments from the Tudors to the Victorians as an 'inestimable treasure.'

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In this exploration of the social context of reading and writing in pre-industrial England, David Cressy tackles important questions about the limits of participation in the mainstream of early modern society.

Who are these marginal and mysterious people who first arrived in England in early Tudor times?
