ISBN: 9780822323662 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A Colonial Lexicon is the first historical investigation of how childbirth became medicalized in Africa.

A Nervous State: Violence, Remedies, and Reverie in Colonial Congo
ISBN: 9780822359654 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In A Nervous State, Nancy Rose Hunt considers the afterlives of violence and harm in King Leopold s Congo Free State.

A Study Guide for G.K. Chesterton's Saint Francis of Assisi
ISBN: 9781468090444 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In G.K. Chesterton's Saint Francis of Assisi, we discover a man of paradox, bearing great resemblance to his biographer. We see a man in love with God and all creation, singing in the woods, calming the wild wolf, preaching to the birds and squirrels. Yet we see this same man beating his body, rolling in the snow to freeze burning desires, praying and fasting until illness, and then receiving the puzzling gift of the stigmata. How can we make sense of Francis? By reading Chesterton's biography. Chesterton understood the man of Assisi as few other biographers did. This study guide to...
