Introduction to Small Scale Geological Structures
ISBN: 9789401168403 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The small-scale structures referred to in this publication are those structures of tectonic origin that can be observed with the naked eye in the field. Their scale varies broadly between that of the hand-specimen to that of the exposure, or even mountainside. Such structures are the visible effects of rock deformation caused by local stresses and movements which have been induced in the rocks by external tectonic forces of possibly unknown origin. Recognition of these minor structures, and appreciation of their origin and significance assist the field geologist to elucidate the larger-scale...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Buffalo Bird Woman, a Hidatsa Indian born about 1839, was an expert gardener.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Early in the 20th century, anthropology student Gilbert Wilson made the first of several trips to an Indian reservation in North Dakota to examine agricultural techniques used among the Hidatsa Indians. This intriguing book is the result of his research. More than a survey of primitive agriculture, however, the work sensitively investigates the activities of a unique culture. With the help of Buffalobird-woman, a Hidatsa native, Wilson not only created a poignant biographical study and a classic anthropological document but also presented a Native American woman's interpretation of economics,...

ISBN: 9780983110910 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Gilbert L. Wilson, gifted ethnologist and field collector for the American Museum of Natural History, thoroughly enjoyed the study of American Indian life and folklore. In 1902 he moved to Mandan, North Dakota and was excited to find he had Indian neighbors. His life among them inspired him to write books that would accurately portray their culture and traditions. Wilson's charming translations of their oral heritage came to life all the more when coupled with the finely-detailed drawings of his brother, Frederick N. Wilson. "Myths of the Red Children" (1907) and "Indian Hero Tales" (1916)...
