Anna, Washing
ISBN: 9780820332062 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Set against the bleak backdrop of the Yukon and the historical moment of the 1897 Klondike gold rush, this chronologically arranged series of sonnets is grounded in the lived experience of Finnish immigrants Anna and Abe Malm. Anna hauls her Anthony Wayne Washer into the wilderness and sets up a laundry business while Abe seeks his fortune. Anna and Abe share a unique history, revealed in the book's epigraph: Anna, nineteen years her husband's senior, had first raised him and then married him. Genoways's graceful formalism makes percussive music of a story marked by isolation and brutal...

Walt Whitman and the Civil War: America's Poet During the Lost Years of 1860-1862
ISBN: 9780520259065 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Shortly after the third edition of Leaves of Grass was published, in 1860, Walt Whitman seemed to drop off the literary map, not to emerge again until his brother George was wounded at Fredericksburg two and a half years later. Past critics have tended to read this silence as evidence of Whitman's indifference to the Civil War during its critical early months. In this penetrating, original, and beautifully written book, Ted Genoways reconstructs those forgotten yearslocating Whitman directly through unpublished letters and never-before-seen manuscripts, as well as mapping his...

The Chain: Farm, Factory, and the Fate of Our Food
ISBN: 9780062288769 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. On the production line in American packinghouses, there is one cardinal rule: the chain never slows. Under pressure to increase supply, the supervisors of meat processing plants have routinely accelerated production, leading to inhumane conditions, increased accidents, and food of questionable, often dangerous quality. In The Chain, acclaimed journalist Ted Genoways uses the story of Hormel Foods and its most famous product, Spam--a recession-era staple--to probe the state of the meatpacking industry, from Minnesota to Iowa and Nebraska. Interviewing scores of line workers, union... On the production line in American packinghouses, there is one cardinal rule: the chain never slows. Under pressure to increase supply, the supervi... |

Current Mammalogy: Volume 1
ISBN: 9781475799118 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. When I first proposed a series entitled Current Mammalogy to the pub- lishers, they were reluctant to undertake such a project because they viewed the field of mammology as overly fragmented. At first I found this idea to be difficult to accept; however, upon reflection, I came near to agreeing with it. Although many of us work on mammals, we gen- erally feel more allegiance to our specialties, such as systematics, ge- netics, cytogenetics, ecology, behavior, pest control, paleontology, wildlife management, primatology, and marine mammalogy, than we do to the general field of mammalogy....
