Historical Dictionary of Ancient Israel
ISBN: 9780810848481 / Angielski / Twarda / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Of the many ancient civilizations we are aware of, few are smaller than the ancient Kingdom of Israel.

Yet, several millennia later, Israel is the civilization we remember most acutely, which we know - or think we know - the most about, and which has even been revised after a manner. Alas, what we know - or think we know - about Israel comes partly from the Old Testament and partly from fragmentary and sometimes...

Historical Dictionary of Revolutionary America
ISBN: 9780810853898 / Angielski / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The American Revolution was perhaps the most significant event in modern history.

On top of that it also gave birth to what would become the most powerful country in the world. And while these feats were impressive, it was the drafting of a constitution, the forging of a union between divided states, and the fashioning of a truly democratic form of government that caused this event to go down in the annals of history. Thus, the Historical Dictionary of Revolutionary America is not...
