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. At first the government discouraged attempts to trespass upon the Sioux land, but under the pressure of public opinion, the Army in 1874 sent the Seventh Cavalry Regiment, commanded by General George A. 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... |

The author has written a controversial book on religion that is designed to awaken, not merely to inform. The thesis of his book challenges the Traditional and Orthodox interpretation of Christianity, charging that since the Third Century, Christianity has become a new religion. The religion that was created at the Council of Nicaea (C.E. 325) deviated from the original teachings of Jesus, since those teachings were thought to be "too difficult" for the masses to emulate. This substitute Christianity, which he calls "Christianism" has failed to change the world, since it is a religion of...
