The Cincinnati Arch : Learning from Nature in the City
ISBN: 9780820326764 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. New to the city, Tallmadge saw only its concrete, glass, smog, and debris.

ISBN: 9780813938172 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In a sequence of publications in the 1760s, James Macpherson, a Scottish schoolteacher in the central Highlands, created fantastic epics of ancient heroes and presented them as genuine translations of the poetry of Ossian, a fictionalized Caledonian bard of the third century.
