Grenfell of Labrador: A Biography
ISBN: 9780773535312 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) When British doctor Wilfred Grenfell arrived in Newfoundland in 1892 to provide medical service to migrant fisherman, he had no clear sense of who his patients were or how they lived - a few weeks on the Labrador coast changed that.

Raising funds in Canada and the United...

ISBN: 9780773518704 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) A religious, well-educated Victorian, Curwen takes us into the heart of the colonial society he encountered.

He provides fresh details of the lives of the Moravian Brethren, the first missionaries to the Native population, and comments on the wildlife, the natural environment, and the general disposition of the countryside. Curwen's candid remarks...
