A True Story of Heroism in Nazi-Occupied Greece Some of] the most dramatic use of secret intelligence in the Western Theater resulted from covert operations against the Nazis in the cities of occupied Europe, which were implemented, to a great extent, by young men and women.

Readers were carried away reading the brave feats of the partisans in the mountains, deserts, and jungles, while the strategic role of the spies and saboteurs in the cities remained almost anonymous. Rigas Rigopoulos offers a rare insight into the world of...

ISBN: 9781585440306 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The story of Rijnland, a small strip of coastal lowland in the western Netherlands, is part of the legendary Dutch struggle against encroaching water.

The reclamation and colonization processes that eventually transformed these remote marshes into a commercialized agricultural center form the heart of this book, which chronicles events from A.D. 950 to 1350. Unlike most studies of the European Middle Ages, this work focuses on how people of earlier times dealt with their physical environment. Combining historical...

Asquith as War Leader
ISBN: 9781852851170 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Asquith was at the pinnacle of his success when the course of his life and that of his country was changed by the outbreak of the First World War. Instead of being over by Christmas 1914, the war became a stalemate, with opposing trenches extending from the Channel coast to the Swiss border. During the initial stages of the war Asquith's oratory, tact and skill, combined with his imperturbability and prestige, made him indispensable. As the war dragged on, his failure to show the ruthlessness needed to win at any cost made him ill-suited to direct the nation in total war. In December 1916...

Unquiet Country
ISBN: 9781905119035 / Angielski / Miękka / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Beneath the surface, the early Victorian countryside seethed with bitterness and resentment, and occasionally with outright rebellion. Injustice was as much a part of the landscape as hedgerows and oaks. We rarely hear the voices of the rural poor - the labourers dependent on casual labour, the workhouse inmates, the dispossessed. This book lets them tell their own story. Robert Lee draws on a remarkable set of historical sources from Norfolk which show how the experience of poverty could lead people to social transgression and political resistance. Using verbatim dramatisations of court...

The Anthropology of the Enlightenment
ISBN: 9780804752022 / Angielski / Twarda / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The modern enterprise of anthropology, with all of its important implications for cross-cultural perceptions, perspectives, and self-consciousness emerged from the eighteenth-century intellectual context of the Enlightenment. If the Renaissance discovered perspective in art, it was the Enlightenment that articulated and explored the problem of perspective in viewing history, culture, and society. If the Renaissance was the age of oceanic discovery--most dramatically the discovery of the New World of America--the critical reflections of the Enlightenment brought about an intellectual...
