Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Alfred Deakin (1857 1919) is recognised as an architect of the Australian Federation and served three terms as Prime Minister.

Drawing from volumes of Deakin's private journals and prayerbooks, in this 1993 text Al Gabay presents us with a complex man who had a profound sense of history and who, being convinced that his political life had a divine mandate, yearned for an understanding of his true duty. Throughout his life he was absorbed and...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The story of the clipper ship Clontarf: In her short career the Clontarf made only two journeys to New Zealand between 1858-1860; introducing just under 800 emigrants to Canterbury. But before she slipped beneath the North Atlantic ocean she carried with her the unfortunate infamy of accumulating the worst human fatality from illness alone in a single voyage.

ISBN: 9781743312025 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Sea level rises pose a greater long term threat to Australia's coastline and major capital cities than a military attack by a foreign power.

"Why Human Security Matters" argues that Australian external relations need to treat the "soft" issues of security as seriously as it treats the "hard" realities of...
