ISBN: 9780674046771 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 337 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780674278714 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book offers an explosive look at violence in America--why it is so prevalent, and what and who are responsible. David Courtwright takes the long view of his subject, developing the historical pattern of violence and disorder in this country. Where there is violent and disorderly behavior, he shows, there are plenty of men, largely young and single. What began in the mining camp and bunkhouse has simply continued in the urban world of today, where many young, armed, intoxicated, honor-conscious bachelors have reverted to frontier conditions. Violent Land combines social... This book offers an explosive look at violence in America--why it is so prevalent, and what and who are responsible. David Courtwright takes the lo... |
