ISBN: 9780855984809 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the past 50 years, billions of dollars and working days have been expended on the -development- of countries in Africa, Latin America, Asia, and the Pacific.

ISBN: 9780873325660 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
