ISBN: 9780195092714 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work provides a unified theory that addresses the important problem of the origin and maintenance of genetic variation in natural populations.

Because they act very weakly and operate over vast time scales, scientists must rely on indirect inferences and speculative mathematical models. However, despite these obstacles, many advances have been made....

When he returned many years later, he arrived in the aftermath of a startling event: the village s men voluntarily destroyed their secret cult that had allowed them to dominate women for generations. The cult s collapse indicated nothing less than the death of masculinity, and Tuzin examines the labyrinth of motives behind this improbable, self-devastating act.

One Continuous Picnic: A Gastronomic History of Australian Eating
ISBN: 9780522853230 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Portable weekly rations of mutton, flour, and tea had turned the early settlers into a mobile army, and their suburbanite descendants still survive on tins of jam, condensed milk, camp pie, and beer. A cry for action, the book successfully launched a new Australian taste for fresh produce, farm markets, and...
