Out from the Ashes
ISBN: 9780595263721 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This is a character study of a youngster who immigrated to the US shortly before its involvement in WWI and the progeny of that family. His enlistment in the army resulted in a debilitating injury while serving overseas and was a factor inhis later involvement in gambling as a means of earning a living. His reputation as a "straight arrow" while involved with some gamblers in the Chicago area provided the impetus for his developing a casino in Las Vegas. As the story unfolds it becomes obvious that there are some historical truths in evidence even though the characters are all fictional. As...

In Search of a Home: Nineteenth-Century Wendish Immigration
ISBN: 9781585446384 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In the previous century a large portion of the smallest of the Slavonic nations left their German homeland and migrated to three distant continents. The Wends, or Sorbs, were seeking--what? Fortune? Religious freedom? Land for their children to farm?
George R. Nielsen, in this revised edition of his classic study of Wendish migration first published in 1977, carefully describes the details of immigration to Australia, Texas, and elsewhere and judiciously weighs the possible explanations for both the exodus and the settlement and acculturation patterns that resulted. The earliest... In the previous century a large portion of the smallest of the Slavonic nations left their German homeland and migrated to three distant continents. T...

Vengeance in a Small Town: The Thorndale Lynching of 1911
ISBN: 9781450287968 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) One hundred years ago, in 1911, two young men lost their lives: one from a stab wound and the other by mob action. In an attempt to explain how such violence could take place in a prosperous and forward-looking community, the author first examines the growth of Thorndale as a small agricultural town on the railroad and then connects Thorndale's geographical setting in central Texas with its tradition of violence. This particular lynching was unusual in that it took place at night, thereby complicating apprehension of the members of the mob. However, as a result of intervention by the...

Walking George: The Life of George John Beto and the Rise of the Modern Texas Prison System
ISBN: 9781574411997 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) George John Beto (1916-1991) is best known for his contributions to criminal justice, but his fame is not limited to this field. "Walking George," authored by two of his former students, David M. Horton and George R. Nielsen, examines the entire life of Beto and his many achievements in the fields of both education and criminal justice--and how he wedded the two whenever possible.
Beto initially studied to become a Lutheran pastor but instead was called to teach at Concordia Lutheran College in Austin, Texas. During his twenty years at that institution he became its president, expanded it...

Time and the Field
ISBN: 9781785330872 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In recent years, ethnographic fieldwork has been subjected to analytical scrutiny in anthropology. Ethnography remains anchored in tropes of spatiality with the association between field and fieldworker characterized by distances in space. With updates on the discussion of contemporary requirements to ethnographic research practice, Time and the Field rethinks the notion of the field in terms of time rather than space. Such an approach not only implies a particular attention to the methodology of studying local (social and ontological) imaginaries of time, but furthermore...

Greek and Latin from an Indo-European Perspective
ISBN: 9780906014318 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 2 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This volume presents new work exploring how the study of historical linguistics can advance our understanding of Greek and Latin and, conversely, how the classical languages can help us to reconstruct Proto-Indo-European and the culture of its speakers. Classical and Indo-European linguistics have been particularly exciting areas of research in recent years, and this book is intended to provide insight into some of the main areas of current debate. It stems from an international conference held in Cambridge in 2005 and includes contributions from keynote speakers Andreas Willi and Joshua...
