Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Arnold Toynbee was one of the most remarkable thinkers of the 20th century, a man of far-reaching imagination, extraordinary erudition, and an infinite capacity for hard work. At the height of his fame, he was the most renowned scholar in the world, acclaimed as the author of the monumental, 10-volume A Study of History.

Plagues and Peoples
ISBN: 9780385121224 / Angielski / Miękka / 1977 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Upon its original publication, Plagues and Peoples was an immediate critical and popular success, offering a radically new interpretation of world history as seen through the extraordinary impact--political, demographic, ecological, and psychological--of disease on cultures.

With the identification of AIDS in the early 1980s, another chapter has been added to this chronicle of events, which William...

The Rise of the West: A History of the Human Community
ISBN: 9780226561417 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 860 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Rise of the West, winner of the National Book Award for history in 1964, is famous for its ambitious scope and intellectual rigor.

The author suggests that from the Neolithic beginnings of grain agriculture to the present major social changes in all parts of the world were triggered by new or newly important foreign stimuli, and he presents a persuasive narrative of...

McNeill explores a whole millennium of human upheaval and traces the path by which we have arrived at the frightening dilemmas that now confront us.

His central argument is that a commercial transformation...
