ISBN: 9780812243871 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the three decades following World War II, the Golden State was not only the fastest-growing state in the Union but also the site of significant political change. From the late 1940s through the mid-1970s, a generation of liberal activists transformed the political landscape of California, ending Republican dominance of state politics and eventually setting the tone for the Democratic Party nationwide. In California Crucible, Jonathan Bell chronicles this dramatic story of postwar liberalism--from early grassroots organizing and the election of Pat Brown as governor in 1958...

Cow Talk: Work, Ecology, and Range Cattle Ranchers in the Postwar Mountain West Volume 8
ISBN: 9780806191782 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The image of western ranchers making a stand for their “rights”—against developers, the government, “illegal” immigrants—may be commonplace today, but the political power of the cowboy was a long time in the making. In a book steeped in the culture, traditions, and history of western range ranching, Michelle K. Berry takes readers into the Cold War world of cattle ranchers in the American West to show how that power, with its implications for the lands and resources of the mountain states, was built, shaped, and shored up between 1945 and 1965. After long days working the ranch,...

Regional Governance and the Politics of Housing in the San Francisco Bay Area
ISBN: 9781439923603 / Angielski / Twarda / 123 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The San Francisco Bay Area is generally considered the most expensive regional housing market in the country. Because the region added jobs and residents at a faster rate than housing, rents and home prices escalated. Moreover, small municipalities, common in the most job-rich parts of the Bay Area, have strong political incentives to resist development of new multifamily housing. Regional Governance and the Politics of Housing in the San Francisco Bay Area explains how a decentralized, localistic structure of government shapes land-use politics in ways that exacerbate housing shortages...

ISBN: 9781108032698 / Angielski / Miękka / 398 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The American historian Francis Parkman (1823 93) published extensively on colonial North America, focusing particularly on the territorial rivalry between France and England.
