A Lexicon of Ancient Latin Etymologies
ISBN: 9780905205472 / Angielski / Miękka / 670 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This lexicon provides as comprehensive as possible a list of explicit etymologies of Latin words found in Latin and Greek writers from the time of Varro to Isidore of Seville. Robert Maltby has extracted from glossaries and scholia as well as the standard ancient etymological source books. His policy of quoting extensively, rather than summarizing, reveals the relationships between the various sources and the reasoning behind many of their etymologies. It amounts to a major work of reference.

ISBN: 9780907871583 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Della Seta] gives a novelistic quality to the story, profound in its pathos and depth." --"Kirkus Reviews"

Korea 1950-53 Recounting REME Involvement
ISBN: 9780955675300 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The story of the War in Korea and of the part played by the REME from 1950 to 1953 as told by various individuals of that Corps, makes fascinating reading. The support and devotion to their colleagues is most apparent, but typical of the British soldier, these experiences are balanced with a sense of sympathy for the unfortunate Korean civilian population caught up in the conflict, and it wouldn't be a true story of the British soldier without its sprinkling of 'squaddie' humour. John Dutton has provided an excellent compilation of personal accounts in this comprehensive story of the Royal...
