Bridewealth and Dowry
ISBN: 9780521098052 / Angielski / Miękka / 1974 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Bridewealth and dowry have certain obvious similarities in that they both involve the transmission of property at marriage, the usual interpretation suggesting that what distinguishes them is the direction in which the property travels - in the case of bridewealth, from the husband and his kin to the wife and her kin, and in the case of dowry, vice versa.

Sri Lanka--Ethnic Fratricide and the Dismantling of Democracy
ISBN: 9780226789521 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 205 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Focusing on the historical events of post-independence Sri Lanka, S. J.
