The Panama Canal
ISBN: 9789004177284 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The relationship between straits and interoceanic canals has always been ambiguous. Unlike straits, interoceanic canals are neither natural nor subject to a universal legal regime like the Law of the Sea. However, straits and interoceanic canals share comparable historical experiences due to their geographic similarities. Suspending interest in a purely legal analysis, The Panama Canal lets logic yield to experience and considers the Panama Canal as an "artificial strait." The volume recasts the dynamic events that have changed the Panama Canal in the context of three interactive...

Mobility and Modernity: Panama in the Nineteenth-Century Anglo-American Imagination
ISBN: 9780814254301 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Mobility and Modernity: Panama in the Nineteenth-Century Anglo-American Imagination rewrites the history of the Panama Canal, assessing for the first time the literary culture of the preceding decades. In this period, U.S. and British writers and visual artists developed sophisticated languages of mobility, time, and speed to cast the isthmus as an in-between place, a point of connection to more important destinations. These discourses served an important role in their own day and laid the imaginative ground for the canal to come.
In this study, Robert D. Aguirre provides... Mobility and Modernity: Panama in the Nineteenth-Century Anglo-American Imagination rewrites the history of the Panama Canal, assessing for the...
