Civilizing Disability Society: The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Socializing Grassroots Disabled Persons' Organizations in Ni
ISBN: 9781108446433 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is increasingly used to civilize grassroots disabled persons' organizations (DPOs) around the world. The international disability rights movement actively promotes the CRPD's key norm that disabled persons mobilize in support of their rights under the Convention. The unintended consequence of these activities, however, is that local groups focused on social support and service provision, rather than disability-rights advocacy, are targeted for change. While the resources provided by international actors to...

Lost Trolleys of Queens and Long Island
ISBN: 9781531627720 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. An amazing assortment of electric trolley lines once traversed the towns and villages of Queens and Long Island. With names like Jamaica Central, Northport Traction, Ocean Electric, and the Steinway lines, some meandered across meadows and hills while others sped over elevated tracks. There was even one line that had streetcars but no tracks. In the end, all of them helped stitch the countryside into the concentrated suburban area it is today--with barely a trace of the trolleys left anywhere.

Lewis Wetzel: The Renowned Virginia Ranger and Scout
ISBN: 9780615845319 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Lewis Wetzel, a famous scout and ranger on the early American frontier just west of the Appalachian Mountains. He is a true American icon, but is he a hero or a villain? Almost all of the early settlers considered him a hero because he vowed to "kill any Indian" who crossed his path and in doing so deterred the Indians from striking the settlements. Others of the time considered him a barbarous, psychotic murderer for killing innocent Indians, including women and children and thus incited the Indians to warfare against the growing population of whites. They claim Lewis Wetzel did everything...

Common Whores, Vertuous Women, and Loveing Wives: Free Will Christian Women in Colonial Maryland
ISBN: 9780253341938 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Religious conflicts had a pronounced effect on women and their families in early modern England, but our understanding of that impact is limited by the restrictions that prevented the open expression of religious beliefs in the post-Reformation years. More can be gleaned by shifting our focus to the New World, where gender relations and family formations were largely unhampered by the unsettling political and religious climate of England. In Maryland, English Arminian Catholics, Particular Baptists, Presbyterians, Puritans, Quakers, and Roman Catholics lived and worked together for most of...
