Athens and Attica: Journal of a Residence There
ISBN: 9780953992331 / Angielski / Miękka / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume reprints an account by William Wordsworth's nephew, a classical scholar of considerable merit, of his tour of Greece in 1832. Wordsworth's descriptions of the ancient sites are steeped in learning and a deep love of Greek literature and culture. It also provides a snapshot of Greece at a time when it was just recovering from Turkish rule and could still be a perilous place for visitors. Athens itself was little more than a village in an impoverished rural setting'. The book begins with an overview of Christopher Wordsworth's life (he later became headmaster of Harrow) and travels.

A Guide to the Historic Coal Towns: Of the Big Sandy River Valley
ISBN: 9781572332829 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This guidebook takes the reader to some of these intriguing...

In the 1930s, the PWA built a tremendous amount of infrastructure in a very short time. Most of the edifices are still in use, yet few people recognize how these schools, courthouses, and other great structures came about. Building Louisiana documents the projects one New Deal agency erected in one southern state and places these in social and political context. Based on extensive... Robert D.
