A General View of the Agriculture of Aberdeenshire: Drawn Up Under the Direction of the Board of Agriculture

Princes, Politics and Religion, 1547-1589
ISBN: 9780907628446 / Angielski / Twarda / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The period following the treaty of Cateau-Cambresis and the death of Henry II in 1559 is of crucial importance in the history of France and of Europe; yet little that is satisfactory has been written about it. To this, the work of Dr N.M. Sutherland is a notable exception. Princes, Politics and Religion, 1547-1589 brings together all her major articles, not already reprinted elsewhere, together with an introduction and two completely new contributions. While mainly focusing on the immediate origins and early decades of the French civil wars, she also deals in a wider sense with the great...

ISBN: 9781403960658 / Angielski / Twarda / 331 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most of the fairy tales that we grew up with we know thanks to the Brothers Grimm.

Bringing to bear his own critical expertise as well and new biographical information, Zipes examines the interaction between the Grimms' lives and their work. He reveals the Grimms' personal struggle to overcome social prejudice and poverty, as well as their political efforts-as scholars and civil servants-toward unifying the German...

ISBN: 9781403963574 / Angielski / Twarda / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Constantly challenging conventional views, and drawing upon a masterly command of the sources and literature, Schroeder provides new answers to old questions about international history and politics since the age of Napoleon.

Police Forces: A Cultural History of an Institution
ISBN: 9781403979865 / Angielski / Twarda / 277 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This collection focuses on the cultural history of the police as an institution from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries. Contrary to most studies on the law and the state, Police Forces demonstrates how profoundly modern democracies are enveloped by more informal and less codified modes of social control. In a time when the rule of law appears to be on the retreat, 'police studies' emerges as a field in its own right. This volume helps stake out this new discipline, including the intricate link between police and the law, 'might' and 'right, ' state violence, surveillance technologies,...
