Persowie. Epoka Wielkich Królów
ISBN: 9788383380445 / Polski / twarda / 2023 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Nowa, oparta na perskich źródłach historia imperium Achemenidów. Wielcy Królowie Persji rządzili największym imperium starożytności, rozciągającym się od Libii po stepy Azji i od Sudanu po Pakistan. Sercem ich państwa było legendarne miasto-pałac Persepolis, gdzie achemenidzcy monarchowie utrzymywali pełen niezrównanego przepychu dwór. To stamtąd Cyrus Wielki, Dariusz, Kserkses oraz ich następcy ogłaszali prawa, wysyłali armie i władali swym wielokulturowym imperium. Achemenidzi byli jednak też jednym z wielkich dysfunkcyjnych rodów w dziejach. Bracia bezwzględnie...

Last King in India: Wajid Ali Shah
ISBN: 9781849044080 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Last King in India is the story of an extraordinary man whose memory still divides opinion sharply today. Was he, as the British described him, a debauched ruler who spent his time with "fiddlers, eunuchs and women' instead of running the kingdom? Or, as most Indians believe, a gifted poet whose works are still quoted today, and who was robbed of his throne by the East India Company?
Somewhere in between the two extremes lies a complex character: a man who married over 350 women, directed theatrical events lasting a month, and built a fairytale palace in Lucknow. Wajid Ali Shah was... The Last King in India is the story of an extraordinary man whose memory still divides opinion sharply today. Was he, as the British described him, a ...

The Royal Navy and Anti-Submarine Warfare, 1917-49
ISBN: 9781138010420 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. An essential new account of how anti-submarine warfare is conducted, with a focus on both historic and present-day operations. This new book shows how until 1944 U-boats operated as submersible torpedo craft which relied heavily on the surface for movement and charging their batteries. This pattern was repeated in WWII until Allied anti-submarine countermeasures had forced the Germans to modify their existing U-boats with the schnorkel. Countermeasures along also pushed the development of high-speed U-boats capable of continuously submerged operations. This study...

King and Court in Ancient Persia 559 to 331 BCE
ISBN: 9780748641260 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The first Persian Empire (559-331 BCE) was the biggest land empire the world had seen, and seated at the heart of its vast dominions, in the south of modern-day Iran, was the person of the Great King. Immortalized in Greek literature as despotic tyrants, a new vision of Persian monarchy is emerging from Iranian, and other, sources (literary, visual, and archaeological), which show the Kings in a very different light. Inscriptions of Cyrus, Darius, Xerxes, and their heirs present an image of Persian rulers as liberators, peace-makers, valiant warriors, righteous god-fearing judges, and...
