ISBN: 9780754659952 / Angielski / Twarda / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Though the subjects and the styles vary a good deal, the studies are linked by a common approach and some common ideas. Hence many examine ways in which naval history has formed a key element in such subjects as intellectual, religious, administrative or medical...
