Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The extraordinary and essential story of how China became the powerful country it is today.

Robert Bickers' major new book is the first to describe fully what has proved to be one of the modern era's most important stories: the long, often agonising process by which the Chinese had by the end of the 20th century regained control of their own country. Out of China uses a brilliant array of unusual, strange and...

ISBN: 9780719056970 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is a study of Britain's presence in China both at its peak, and during its inter-war dissolution in the face of assertive Chinese nationalism and declining British diplomatic support. Using archival materials from China and records in Britain and the United States, the author paints a portrait of the traders, missionaries, businessmen, diplomats and settlers who constituted "Britain-in-China," challenging our understanding of British imperialism there. Bickers argues that the British presence in China was dominated by urban settlers whose primary allegiance lay not with any grand...

ISBN: 9780198703372 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The British Empire gave rise to various new forms of British identity in the colonial world outside the Dominions.

As a result they often found themselves at loggerheads with their diplomatic or colonial office minders, especially in the era of decolonisation. The impact of empire on metropolitan British identity is increasingly well documented; the evolution of dominions' nationalisms is likewise...

The Scramble for China: Foreign Devils in the Qing Empire, 1832-1914
ISBN: 9780141015859 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In the early 19th century China remained almost untouched by British and European powers--but as new technology started to change this balance, foreigners gathered like wolves around the weakening Qing Empire. Would the Chinese suffer the fate of much of the rest of the world, carved into pieces by Europeans? Or could they adapt rapidly enough to maintain their independence? This important and compelling book explains the roots of China's complex relationship with the West by illuminating a dramatic, colorful, and sometimes shocking period of the country's history.
