Jackson chronicles America's longtime fascination with dams as represented on picture postcards from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century.

ISBN: 9780803257504 / Angielski / Miękka / 1972 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The white settlers had little interest in the semiarid land assigned to the Sioux under the Treaty of 1868 and, for a time, the Indians enjoyed their domain in relative peace. However, when rumors spread that the Black Hills of the Dakota Territory were rich in gold, miners and newspapers wanted to organize prospecting parties.

Custer, to explore the Hills. With reports that gold had indeed...

Building the Ultimate Dam: John S. Eastwood and the Control of Water in the West
ISBN: 9780806137339 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Most water control projects in the American West depend on huge gravity dams, whose stability lies in massive quantities of concrete and earth or rock fill. In the early twentieth century, John S. Eastwood designed novel dams that minimized the concrete necessary for construction. Eastwood s multiple-arch designs proved less expensive than comparable gravity dams. Yet he faced the opposition of a powerful cadre of engineers, financiers, and politicians who believed the distinctive appearance of multiple-arch dams did not inspire public confidence. Donald C. Jackson offers compelling... Most water control projects in the American West depend on huge gravity dams, whose stability lies in massive quantities of concrete and earth or r... |

This substitute Christianity, which he calls "Christianism" has failed to change the world, since it is a religion of...
