ISBN: 9781580465380 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ira Aldridge The Last Years, 1855-1867, the fourth volume of Bernth Lindfors's definitive biography, places on record Aldridge's remarkable achievements and experiences in the final phase of his life, when he performed at theaters throughout Europe.

These are essays that cross national literary boundaries and sometimes transcend language barriers as well. They look for correspondences in related literary phenomena from widely dispersed areas of the globe, bringing together what is akin from what is akimbo....

Early African Entertainments Abroad: From the Hottentot Venus to Africa's First Olympians
ISBN: 9780299301644 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries African and pseudo-African performers were displayed as curiosities throughout Europe and America. Appearing in circuses, ethnographic exhibitions, and traveling shows, these individuals and troupes drew large crowds. As Bernth Lindfors shows, the showmen, impresarios, and even scientists who brought supposedly representative inhabitants of the "Dark Continent" to a gaping public often selected the performers for their sensational impact. Spotlighting and exaggerating physical, mental, or cultural differences, the resulting displays reinforced...

The book is a short history of the computer industry, starting with relay computers and ending with the IBM PC, introduced in 1981. Before digital computers, there were digital switching systems, used by the phone companies, made with relays. With the earliest digital computers, users found relays to be just too slow, and vacuum tubes were mainly used in analog devices, like radios.

Vacuum tube computers also used too...
