A Foot in the River: Why Our Lives Change -- And the Limits of Evolution
ISBN: 9780198806806 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. We are a weird species. Like other species, we have a culture. But by comparison with other species, we are strangely unstable: human cultures self-transform, diverge, and multiply with bewildering speed.

And the way we live--our manners, morals, habits, experiences, relationships, technology, values--seems to be changing at an ever accelerating pace. The effects can be dislocating, baffling, sometimes terrifying. Why is this? In A Foot in the River, best-selling historian Felipe Fernandez-Armesto sifts...

The Medieval Frontiers of Latin Christendom: Expansion, Contraction, Continuity
ISBN: 9780754659730 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The aim of this first volume in the series "The Expansion of Latin Europe" is to sketch the outlines of medieval expansion, illustrating some of the major topics that historians have examined in the course of demonstrating the links between medieval and modern experiences. The articles reprinted here show that European expansion began not in 1492 following Columbus's voyages but earlier as European Christian society re-arose from the ruins of the Carolingian Empire. The two phases of expansion were linked but the second period did not simply replicate the medieval experience. Medieval...

Our America: A Hispanic History of the United States
ISBN: 9780393239539 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The United States is still typically conceived of as an offshoot of England, with our history unfolding east to west beginning with the first English settlers in Jamestown. This view overlooks the significance of America's Hispanic past. With the profile of the United States increasingly Hispanic, the importance of recovering the Hispanic dimension to our national story has never been greater.
This absorbing narrative begins with the explorers and conquistadores who planted Spain's first colonies in Puerto Rico, Florida, and the Southwest. Missionaries and rancheros carry Spain's expansive...
