We take for granted today that the assessments, measurements, and forecasts of economists are crucial to the decision-making of governments and businesses alike.

The Escape from Hunger and Premature Death, 1700 2100: Europe, America, and the Third World

Nobel laureate Robert Fogel's compelling new study examines health, nutrition and technology from 1700 to 2100.

The Congressman's Civil War
ISBN: 9780521357050 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the historical literature on the Civil War, the President, the generals, and the cabinet secretaries have won the war of words. Of the hundreds of men who served in the House of Representatives during this great struggle, only a handful typically appear in general discussions of the period.

ISBN: 9780521531252 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in the social history of crime an-long a variety of disciplines. This book examines the rapid spread of uniformed police forces throughout late nineteenth-century urban America.

This narrowed role hampered their ability to control crime, and, as modern social services developed and the police came increasingly...
