Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In the 1930s radio stations filled the airwaves with programs and musical performances about rural Americans -- farmers and small-town residents struggling through the Great Depression. One of the most popular of these shows was Lum and Abner, the brainchild of Chester "Chet" Lauck and Norris "Tuffy" Goff, two young businessmen from Arkansas. Beginning in 1931 and lasting for more than two decades, the show revolved around the lives of ordinary people in the fictional community of Pine Ridge, based on the hamlet of Waters, Arkansas. The title characters, who are farmers, local...

William Louis Poteat
ISBN: 9780813121550 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) William Louis Poteat (1856-1938), the son of a conservative Baptist slaveholder, became one of the most outspoken southern liberals during his lifetime. He was a rarity in the South for openly teaching evolution beginning in the 1880s, and during his tenure as president of Wake Forest College (1905-1927) his advocacy of social Christianity stood in stark contrast to the zeal for practical training that swept through the New South's state universities. Exceptionally frank in his support of evolution, Poteat believed it represented God at work in nature. Despite repeated attacks in the...

Mountains on the Market: Industry, the Environment, and the South
ISBN: 9780813136240 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Manufacturing in the Northeast and the Midwest pushed the United States to the forefront of industrialized nations during the early nineteenth century; the South, however, lacked the large cities and broad consumer demand that catalyzed changes in other parts of the country. Nonetheless, in contrast to older stereotypes, southerners did not shun industrial development when profits were possible. Even in the Appalachian South, where the rugged terrain presented particular challenges, southern entrepreneurs formed companies as early as 1760 to take advantage of the region's natural resources....

A Rape in the Early Republic: Gender and Legal Culture in an 1806 Virginia Trial
ISBN: 9780813169521 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) On January 14, 1806, Sidney Hanson was raped by John Deskins on a rough gravel path in the woods in Tazewell County, Virginia. In the early nineteenth century, trials for rape were rare. Scanty court records typically lacked the detail needed to reconstruct the lives of those involved and evaluate the social and physical setting of the crime. Yet the events on that fateful day in 1806 would be the exception. In A Rape in the Early Republic, Randal L. Hall reproduces the complete trial testimony of Alexander Smyth, the prosecutor for Hanson's trial. Smyth's detailed record...
