The Outer Edge of the Wave; American Frontiers in Las Vegas
ISBN: 9783631534175 / Angielski / Miękka / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In an interdisciplinary approach this book for the first time explores frontier-related elements in -real- Las Vegas as well as its representations in literature and film. Drawing on a broad range of sources, the analysis reveals that, although Las Vegas highlights its new frontiers in the entertainment industry, the city operates within a framework that builds on Old Frontier concepts adapted to meet the needs of present-day Western experience culture. The Outer Edge of the Wave therefore suggests that the concept of the American frontier as a cultural symbol has continued to be at...

The Man who Killed President Garfield: George H. Herbert's Guiteau, the Assassin
ISBN: 9780944285831 / Angielski / Miękka / 784 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The assassination of President James Garfield has been variously blamed for the decline of the Utopian Oneida community where the murderer once lived, the reform of the American civil service by shocked legislators who noted that the motive seemed to be a legitimate denial of political patronage, and the movement for sterile operating conditions in light of the damage done by surgeons probing with dirty hands for the fatal bullet. The fascination continues in a killing that is a classic case of stalking and paranoia.

Freemasonry in Old Buffalo: Leroy Nixon's History of Buffalo Consistory
ISBN: 9781935907039 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Buffalo had a reputation for being the "last city in the East" in terms of social mores, and in its heyday supported clubs and societies that had much in common with those in New York and Philadelphia. Some of these still survive, such as the Consistory of the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. Its headquarters are now in Buffalo's suburbs, but its former building was originally a mansion of the Rand family and converted by the Masons in 1925 for Masonic use. In turn it was sold to the Jesuit Order in 1944 and renamed Berchman's Hall. It is now Canisius High School. Genealogists will welcome this...
