ISBN: 9780521617697 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Christopher is a savant,...

American Empire: Roosevelt's Geographer and the Prelude to Globalizationvolume 9
ISBN: 9780520243385 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 586 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. An American Empire, constructed over the last century, long ago overtook European colonialism, and it has been widely assumed that the new globalism it espoused took us "beyond geography." Neil Smith debunks that assumption, offering an incisive argument that American globalism had a distinct geography and was pieced together as part of a powerful geographical vision. The power of geography did not die with the twilight of European colonialism, but it did change fundamentally. That the inauguration of the American Century brought a loss of public geographical sensibility in the United States...
