In the Face of Evil: The Sustenance of Tradition
ISBN: 9781499190106 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the Face of Evil: The Sustenance of Traditions, focuses on four women whom Peter Petschauer calls his mothers. The wars of the twentieth century deeply affected them, as did the brutal Fascist and National Socialist regimes in Italy and Germany. Two of the women lived in Italy's Dolomites and two in Germany. Traditions sustained them and their families in these terrible times through the routines of their households and their lives. The details of daily living allow a clear view of values that are often ignored by historians in search of seemingly more important political events and public...

Walter Fuller: The Man Who Had Ideas
ISBN: 9782970065425 / Angielski / Twarda / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is no ordinary biography. Using unpublished sources, Peter Winnington reveals the life of Walter Fuller, whom the BBC chose to edit its Radio Times. Covering the first quarter of the 20th century, the unfolding story takes us from the birth of student representation and the revival of folksong (first as entertainment, then as social protest) to the anti-war movement in America, for which Fuller produced innovative propaganda. The US harshly repressed its pacifists and conscientious objectors. To defend them, Fuller imported from Britain the concept of civil liberties, and his wife...

The Autobiography of a Granada Cat as told to Harley White
ISBN: 9780990333944 / Angielski / Miękka / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "They call me Mama-cat and I answer to it, so I suppose that is my name, though it wasn't always. I was born in Andalusia, southern Spain, in Granada, an area that is hot in summer and cold in winter, and I survived thanks to the ingenuity of my mother, who hid me in a deserted house along with the brothers and sisters of my litter." So begins the picaresque, picturesque tale, true in the telling by its feline protagonist. She describes her neighborhood, of streets piled upward upon streets, the old city on the hill, with its labyrinth of narrow winding lanes, the Albaicin's spectacular...

ISBN: 9780813156255 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A ground-breaking collaborative study merging perspectives from history, political science, and urban planning, The Separate City is a trenchant analysis of the development of the African-American community in the urban South. While similar in some respects to the racially defined ghettos of the North, the districts in which southern blacks lived from the pre-World War II era to the mid-1960s differed markedly from those of their northern counterparts. The African- American community in the South was (and to some extent still is) a physically expansive, distinct, and socially...

She had cleaned everything out of her armoire, dresser, and vanity, because she would not be coming back. But now the blue and white suitcase she owned since her Claflin College days refused to snap shut. Totally frustrated, Gladys placed the suit case on the floor and sat on it. Only then could she snap it shut. Any other time she and Auntie Nancy would have a good laugh at Gladys sitting on top of the suitcase trying to get it to close, but today was not one of those days. Right now the tension in the room was so thick you could...

If you have an interest in ancestry or just history in general you will enjoy this summary of one families journey through time from the first man in the bible to American Cornell's today. The author shows you how she found it using the internet. Interesting and fun to read.
