This book represents the ultimate Hawaiian experience and art form: the Hula, through photographs taken in the 1880s and 1890s.

For the most part, the photographs were previously unknown and unpublished, and represent some of the most powerful and poignant images of Hula known to exist. Several non-Hula images are among the photos, adding interest to the album's contents. A brief...

Anglo-Saxon England
ISBN: 9780521038591 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It is red-letter day in Anglo-Saxon studies when a previously unknown Old English text comes to light. In 2002, as the result of some outstanding scholarly detective work, a fragmentary homiliary, containing exegetical homilies for the Sundays after Pentecost, came to light in the Somerset County Records Office in Taunton.

The present volume of Anglo-Saxon England...
