This biography takes a cool look at Nelson's status as a hero and demolishes many of the myths...

It shows how these merchants could be large or small concerns, and provides detailed case studies of different kinds of contractors, including examples of...

Commodities and Colonialism: The Story of Big Sugar in Indonesia, 1880-1942
ISBN: 9789004250512 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Sugar yesterday was what oil is today: a commodity of immense global importance whose tentacles reached deep into politics, society and economy. Indonesia's colonial-era sugar industry is largely forgotten today, except by a small number of regional specialists writing for a specialist audience. During the period 1880-1942 covered by this book, however, the then Netherlands Indies was one of the world's very greatest producer-exporters of the commodity. How it contrived to do so is the story presented in this book. Author G. Roger Knight, associate professor of history in the University of...
