At the age of thirty-one, lovely Jade McConnell was a level-headed scientist with a firm understanding of her own heart and the world around her -- or so she believed until one steamy July night outside a Georgetown restaurant when she had a chance encounter with an unusual young man. Their meeting launched a strange journey propelled by a secret that began 200,00 years earlier on the shores of the Adriatic Sea.

The Root of Roots: Or, How Afro-American Anthropology Got Its Start
ISBN: 9780972819626 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.
