The Long Road to a Star
ISBN: 9781844010165 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Joseph, the teller of this extraordinary story, is born into modest circumstances and spends his life as a working man, mainly as a welder. But this is not all there is to Joseph; for Joseph, from his earliest years serving as a soldier in what was then Palestine, has seen and heard things that have been vouchsafed to very few. He has heard and felt the beating of great wings; he has seen the blazing light at the end of the rainbow; and he has heard deep within his spirit, the voice of the Lord, sending Joseph about His business. Mixed with the full story of an ordinary life, is the parallel...

Revivals, Awakening and Reform
ISBN: 9780226560922 / Angielski / Miękka / 1980 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In "Revivals, Awakenings, and Reform," McLoughlin draws on psychohistory, sociology, and anthropology to examine the relationship between America's five great religious awakenings and their influence on five great movements for social reform in the United States. He finds that awakenings (and the revivals that are part of them) are periods of revitalization born in times of cultural stress and eventuating in drastic social reform. Awakenings are thus the means by which a people or nation creates and sustains its identity in a changing world.

Cherokee Renascence in the New Republic
ISBN: 9780691006277 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Cherokees, the most important tribe in the formative years of the American Republic, became the test case for the Founding Fathers' determination to Christianize and "civilize" all Indians and to incorporate them into the republic as full citizens. From the standpoint of the Cherokees, rather than from that of the white policymakers, William McLoughlin tells the dramatic success story of the "renascence" of the tribe. He goes on to give a full account of how the Cherokees eventually fell before the expansionism of white America and the zeal of Andrew Jackson. The Cherokees, the most important tribe in the formative years of the American Republic, became the test case for the Founding Fathers' determinati... |

Champions of the Cherokees: Evan and John B. Jones
ISBN: 9780691636016 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 522 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Champions of the Cherokees is the story of two extraordinary Northern Baptist missionaries, father and son, who lived with the Cherokee Indians from 1821 to 1876. Told largely in the words of these outspoken and compassionate men, this is also a narrative of the Cherokees' sufferings at the hands of the United States government and white frontier dwellers. In addition, it is an analysis of the complexity of interracial relations in the United States, for the Cherokees adopted the white man's custom of black chattel slavery. This fascinating biography reveals the unusual extent to...

The Comedy of Errors
ISBN: 9781973707936 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Comedy of Errors is one of William Shakespeare's early plays. It is his shortest and one of his most farcical comedies, with a major part of the humour coming from slapstick and mistaken identity, in addition to puns and word play. Because the law forbids merchants from Syracuse to enter Ephesus, elderly Syracusian trader Egeon faces execution when he is discovered in the city. He can only escape by paying a fine of a thousand marks. He tells his sad story to Solinus, Duke of Ephesus. In his youth, Egeon married and had twin sons. On the same day, a poor woman without a job also gave...

Writing the City in British Asian Diasporas
ISBN: 9780415590242 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In 1962, the Commonwealth Immigrants Act hastened the process of South Asian migration to postcolonial Britain. Half a decade later, now is an opportune moment to revisit the accumulated writing about the diasporas formed through subsequent settlement, and to probe the ways in which the South Asian diaspora can be re-conceptualised. Writing the City in British Asian Diasporas takes a fresh look at such matters and will have multi-disciplinary resonance worldwide. The meaning and importance of local, multi-local and trans-local dynamics is explored through a devolved and...
