Grant County
ISBN: 9781531630348 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Grant County was one of the last places to be settled in Washington State. The first visitors grazed livestock on the rich bunch grasses, sharing space with the Wanapum and Sinkiuse tribes. Homesteaders planted wheat, hay, and orchards, and marketed fish around Moses Lake. After unusually wet years, weather patterns returned to normal and the area creeks dried up, forcing many families to move away. Not long after, the Great Depression bankrupted many of those who had not been ruined by the droughts. It wasn't until World War II, when military bases were built in Ephrata and Moses Lake, that...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Before Europeans came to the Pendleton area, the Umatilla River valley of eastern Oregon was populated by Native Americans. The Cayuse, Umatilla, Walla Walla, and Nez Perce Indians avoided conflict and befriended early white settlers.

Walla Walla
ISBN: 9781531615116 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Nestled at the foot of the Blue Mountains in the southeastern corner of Washington State, the area that would become Walla Walla was the home of the Cayuse, Umatilla, Walla Walla, and Nez Perce Indians. Fur traders and missionaries began to carve out settlements in the early 1800s, but with the lure of nearby gold in the 1860s, the landscape was soon dominated by commercial, banking, and manufacturing enterprises. As the boom ended, the resilient residents of Walla Walla turned to farming, and today, sweet onions, wheat, grapes, and other agricultural products continue to play an important...

Richland
ISBN: 9781531614102 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The Columbia Basin was dusted only with sagebrush and bunchgrass before settlers harnessed the power of the mighty Columbia River. With irrigation came the small town of Richland, and its sister towns of White Bluffs and Hanford. On the advent of U.S. involvement in the Second World War, Richland was discovered by government scientists. Breaking ground in March of 1943, through one of the fastest-built government operations ever, the first nuclear reactor went "critical" in September of that year. Most of the workers did not understand what they had produced until after Nagasaki was...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Early clashes in the 1850s with Native American tribes led to the establishment of the Yakima Indian Reservation just south of the city limits. Soon afterward, settlers came in earnest, having heard of the potential of the valley soil.

In 1884, the town attracted the attention of the Northern Pacific Railroad, which was interested in building a depot.

ISBN: 9780275923228 / Angielski / Twarda / 1986 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is a welcome study of the impact of citizen action on crime and on the fear of crime. The author obtained the consent and cooperation of the Guardian Angels to use their activities in Harlem and the Bronx as a model in determining the effectiveness of such operations. In addition, on-site interviews were conducted with 2,700 nighttime subway riders, making this work the first substantial study of passenger attitudes and fears.

Constitutional Reform in Britain and France: From Human Rights to Brexit
ISBN: 9781786831224 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The United Kingdom and France have very distinctive constitutional identities, so a book that compares the two takes on a complicated task. Elizabeth Gibson-Morgan here begins by detailing the two nations' shared historical, political, and cultural background, then goes on to explore the sweeping transformations that their constitutional frameworks have undergone in the past twenty-five years at both national and regional levels, with a particular emphasis on Wales and Scotland. Where Gibson-Morgan truly breaks new ground, however, is in her approach: rather than treat each country...

The Rights and Aspirations of the Magna Carta
ISBN: 9783319427324 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 181 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book provides an original and multidisciplinary approach on Magna Carta (1215) as a joint heritage, a source of inspiration both for long established democracies and countries which only recently experienced the Rule of Law. Far from simply extolling the virtues associated with Magna Carta, it explores the gaps of the Great Charter. Instead of dealing separately with the historians and the lawyers outlooks as two conflicting perspectives, it juxtaposes the views of medievalist and contemporary historians with those of practicing lawyers and law academics, offering readers a thorough yet...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Any way you want to saddle that horse, there's bound to be trouble when two men are vying for the same woman, especially when the woman is a beautiful, hot tempered force to be reckoned with. So when Skye Donovan's Irish temper collides with Clint Walker's western male dominance, the heat they generate (both in and out of bed) could well explain global warming. Fortunately, for the world, Jake Emerson (Skye's fiance) is there to temper their flames of passion with an old fashion case of blackmail. And while Skye is working hard to turn her lifelong dream into a reality, Clint is working hard...
