It's Your Misfortune and None of My Own: A New History of the American West
ISBN: 9780806125671 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 684 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A centerpiece of the New History of the American West, this book embodies the theme that, as succeeding groups have occupied the American West and shaped the land, they have done so without regard for present inhabitants. Like the cowboy herding the dogies, they have cared little about the cost their activities imposed on others; what has mattered is the immediate benefit they have derived from their transformation of the land. Drawing on a recent flowering of scholarship on the western environment, western gender relations, minority history, and urban and labor history, as well as on...

These Stones Bear Witness
ISBN: 9781452017198 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Columbus discovered America. So they say. But what of Leif Ericsson? What of St. Brendan? Who inscribed that anguished message on the Kensington Rune Stone? And who was The Westford Knight? We are sure that Columbus made it to San Salvador - and back. And the Icelandic Saga shores up faith in Leif Ericsson's voyage to North America, although scholarly opinion of the Vinland map seems to change every 10 years or so. St. Brendan's adventure has been pretty generally dismissed as mere myth- as if myth could not be rooted in truth. And the case of the Kensington Rune Stone continues to generate...
