The Road to Nab End: A Lancashire Childhood
ISBN: 9781906011260 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. A bestseller in England and celebrated as one of the great memoirs in many years, The Road to Nab End is a marvelously evocative account of growing up poor in a British mill town. From William Woodruff's birth in 1916 (in the carding room of a cotton mill) until he ran away to London at the age of sixteen, he lived in the heart of Blackburn's weaving community in the north of England. But after Lancashire's supremacy in cotton textiles ended with the crash of 1920, his father was thrown out of work. From then on, Billy and his family faced a life blighted by extreme poverty. For the ordinary...

ISBN: 9780349116228 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. The second volume of Woodruff's memoirs starts with him having arrived in Poplar in the early 1930s. On spec he turns up at a steel foundry and luckily gets a job.

This book investigates the major changes in world history and world economy during the past five hundred years and explains to what extent world forces have been responsible for shaping both past and present. Its underlying theme is the struggle for power in which, since the sixteenth century, the West has prevailed.

Vessel Of Sadness
ISBN: 9780349118116 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Italy, 1944 - this is the setting of one of the most convincing and quietly magnificent stories about man and war that has ever been written. Here, (distilled from the experiences and observations of one who fought with them in the British infantry unit) is the mood of those who fought and died at Anzio. Their task - to seize the Alban Hills and then Rome forty miles away. Instead, for more than four months, they sank into the mud of the Anzio plain and fought for their lives. Nothing has appeared since Erich Maria Remarque's ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT that can compare with this book's...

A Concise History of the Modern World: 1500 to the Present
ISBN: 9780333604120 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 297 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. In an ever-shrinking world, the need for a global perspective in dealing with the modern world has become acute. This book attempts to provide such a perspective by investigating the major changes in geopolitics and world economy during the past 500 years. However compact, it enables us to understand the present unravelling of Communism and the growing challenge from Asia to Western Superiority. It is shown that in so many ways the problems of the contemporary world spring from the unprecedented era of western domination, which the non-western world is now trying to unlive.

Beyond the Burning Bus: The Civil Rights Revolution in a Southern Town
ISBN: 9781603060103 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Anniston, Alabama, is a small industrial city between Birmingham and Atlanta. In 1961, the city's potential for race-related violence was graphically revealed when the Ku Klux Klan firebombed a Freedom Riders bus. In response to that incident, a few black and white leaders in Anniston took a progressive view that desegregation was inevitable and that it was better to unite the community than to divide it. To that end, the city created a biracial Human Relations Council which set about to quietly dismantle Jim Crow segregation laws and customs. This was such a novel notion in George Wallace's...
