Land, Power, and Economics on the Frontier of Upper Canada: Volume 194
ISBN: 9780773521940 / Angielski / Miękka / 792 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this thorough study of an important period, Upper Canadian attitudes to land and society are shown to have been built on contemporary visions of the cosmos.
