The Panama Canal
ISBN: 9789004177284 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The relationship between straits and interoceanic canals has always been ambiguous.

Mobility and Modernity: Panama in the Nineteenth-Century Anglo-American Imagination
ISBN: 9780814254301 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

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...
