ISBN: 9780199258338 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Politics and Opinion in Crisis, 1678-81
ISBN: 9780521024396 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

Part One examines central politics to...
