The Nature of Grief: The Evolution and Psychology of Reactions to Loss
ISBN: 9780415178587 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. John Archer presents a synthesis of material from evolutionary psychology, ethology and experimental psychology on the process of grief. He argues that grief is a natural reaction to losses of many sorts; to the death of or separation from a loved one, but also to other aspects of life which are important to the individual. In contrast to much prevailing literature on the topic, this book does not regard grief as an illness to be cured or a psychiatric disorder. Instead, it shows how common an experience it is, throughout all human cultures and clearly present in the animal kingdom. This...

Architecture and Suburbia: From English Villa to American Dream House, 1690-2000
ISBN: 9780816643042 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The American suburban dream house-a single-family, detached dwelling, frequently clustered in tight rows and cul-de-sacs-has been attacked for some time as homogeneous and barren, yet the suburbs are home to half of the American population. Architectural historian John Archer suggests the endurance of the ideal house is deeply rooted in the notions of privacy, property, and selfhood that were introduced in late seventeenth-century England and became the foundation of the American nation and identity.
Spanning four centuries, Architecture and Suburbia explores phenomena... The American suburban dream house-a single-family, detached dwelling, frequently clustered in tight rows and cul-de-sacs-has been attacked for some... |

Making Suburbia: New Histories of Everyday America
ISBN: 9780816692996 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What are the suburbs? The popular vision of monotonous streets curving into culs-de-sac and emerald lawns unfurling from nearly identical houses would have us believe that suburbia is a boring, homogeneous, and alienating place. But this stereotypical portrayal of the suburbs tells us very little about the lives of the people who actually live there. Making Suburbia offers a diverse collection of essays that examine how the history and landscape of the American suburb is constructed through the everyday actions and experiences of its inhabitants. From home decor and garage... What are the suburbs? The popular vision of monotonous streets curving into culs-de-sac and emerald lawns unfurling from nearly identical houses wo... |

Social Unrest and Popular Protest in England, 1780-1840
ISBN: 9780521572163 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. John E. Archer examines the diversity of protest from 1780 to 1840. This book covers all forms of protest, including the Gordon Riots of 1780, food riots, Luddism, the radical political reform movement and Peterloo in 1819. It also includes the less well researched anti-enclosure, anti-New Poor Law riots, arson and other forms of "terroristic" action, up to the advent of Chartism in the 1830s. Archer's concise study of popular protest provides a unique perspective on the social history and conditions of this crucial period.

Culp's Hill at Gettysburg: The Mountain Trembled
ISBN: 9780996345521 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The heavily wooded slopes of Culp's Hill do not easily lend themselves to visions of long, gallant lines of charging infantry as do other areas on the battlefield at Gettysburg. But the regimental monuments and traces of breastworks that line the slopes of Culp's Hill bear silent testament to a hellish conflict: no other spot at Gettysburg would see such a sustained period of brutal combat as when North and South vied for this ground. The reader is invited to tour this seldom explored segment of the battle using maps, photos, and first-hand accounts to help understand the unique character of...

Discovering Somers Isles: A Guide to Bermuda's History 1500-1615
ISBN: 9780996345552 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The fact that Bermuda was discovered at all might seem amazing: the tiny cluster of islands sits almost in the middle of 20,000,000 square miles of the North Atlantic. But sixteenth-century trade routes to the West Indies brought hundreds of ships through the turquoise waters surrounding its desolate shores-and left countless shipwrecks on its uncharted reefs. It is no small wonder that the Bermudas were once known as "Devil's Isles." In May of 1609, a North Atlantic hurricane drove another ship close to the island's reefs. Battered and sinking, the English ship "Sea Venture" was run aground...

The Monster Evil: Policing and Violence in Victorian Liverpool
ISBN: 9781846316838 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Liverpool gained a unique and notorious reputation during the 19th century for being an abnormally violent and criminal place. 'The Monster Evil' intends to explore the historical foundations of this stigmatization: were the fears real or an invention of the Victorian newspapers? In answering such questions the book examines Liverpool's violent crime and how effectively it was policed by the newly established constabulary through the use of local and national press reports, contemporary accounts and police records. In doing so issues relating to public acceptance and tolerance of violence and...

Fury on the Bliss Farm at Gettysburg
ISBN: 9780996345545 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The odd grassy mound between the long ridges south of Gettysburg might arouse the curiosity of a visitor, but the site of the Bliss Farm lies hundreds of yards from modern tour routs. Certainly, more infamous sites on the battlefield vie for one's attention, and the struggle fro this once prosperous homestead is easily overlooked. Yet, on July 2 & 3, 1863, the incongruously named farm was a no-man's land that changed hands some ten times - possibly more than any other ground at Gettysburg. The reader is invited to tour this seldom explored area of the battlefield using maps, photos, and...

Sovereignty and Intelligence: Spying and Court Culture in the English Renaissance
ISBN: 9780804720793 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This work uncovers a culture of courtly surveillance, secrecy and espionage in an era generally regarded, since Foucault, as characterized by the association of sovereignty with public display. Examining the centrality of espionage in the careers and works of Michel de Montaigne, Sir Philip Sidney, Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, and Sir Francis Bacon, it demonstrates the association of surveillance with sovereignty before surveillance became the characteristic mode of discipline in the modern, abstract state. The author substantially revises our understanding of the relationship between...

Old Worlds: Egypt, Southwest Asia, India, and Russia in Early Modern English Writing
ISBN: 9780804743372 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although much attention has been paid to early modern European travel to the New World, attention is just beginning to be paid to the travels in the Old World, even though they speak to contemporary concerns with categories like civilization, race, and nation as much as, sometimes more than, the New World explorations. This book aligns travel narratives and historical surveys of parts of the Old World--Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and Russia--with texts by Shakespeare, Milton, and Dryden that contributed to English ideas about those regions. Addressing the current interest in Europe's...
