ISBN: 9780199605996 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Arsenic is rightly infamous as the poison of choice for Victorian murderers. Yet the great majority of fatalities from arsenic in the nineteenth century came not from intentional poisoning, but from accident.
Kept in many homes for the purpose of poisoning rats, the white powder was easily mistaken for sugar or flour and often incorporated into the family dinner. It was also widely present in green dyes, used to tint everything from candles and candies to curtains, wallpaper, and clothing (it was arsenic in old lace that was the danger). Whether at home amidst arsenical curtains and... Arsenic is rightly infamous as the poison of choice for Victorian murderers.

Overcoming Intolerance in South Africa: Experiments in Democratic Persuasion
ISBN: 9780521813907 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. James L. Gibson and Amanda Gouws investigate the degree to which the political culture of South Africa and the beliefs, values, and attitudes of ordinary people affect democratic reform. One set of values is of particular concern for their research: political tolerance. Gibson and Gouws contend that political tolerance is a crucial element of democratic political cultures in general.

Written by leading authorities in history, philosophy, jurisprudence and political theory, the essays in this volume provide new insights into the variable and changing contents of the rights thinking and consciousness that lie at the core of American political culture and shape its central political institutions.

Jewish Migration and the Archive
ISBN: 9781138098947 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Migration is, and has always been, a disruptive experience. Freedom from oppression and hope for a better life are counter-balanced by feelings of loss – loss of family members, of a home, of personal belongings. Memories of the migration process itself often fade quickly away in view of the new challenges that await immigrants in their new homelands. This volume asks, and shows, how migration memories have been kept, stored, forgotten, and indeed retrieved in many different archives, in official institutions, and in heritage centres, as well as in personal and family collections. Based...
