ISBN: 9780691006215 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Most Americans take it for granted that a thirteen-year-old in the fifth grade is "behind schedule," that "teenagers who marry "too early" are in for trouble, and that a seventy-five-year-old will be pleased at being told, "You look young for your age."

In documenting the changes Cincinnati experienced during the... In the late nineteenth century, a new era began in American urban history, characterized by an explosion of both the populations and the proportions o...
