Throughout the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI and Mary, and the early part of the reign of Elizabeth, all this changed, so that by the 1580s England had permanent dockyards, and permanent naval...

ISBN: 9783639124286 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Science has been one of the most powerful tools for
the development of modern nations. However, since it has had a differential evolution in different cultures, its forms of transmission defined the ways in wich it was implanted in different societies. This book explores, through the Mexican example, the first attempt to embody modern microbiology by a Latin American country. It shows how a combination of political, economic and personal interests sometimes came to overshadow the process. The demonised Porfirio Diaz (president of Mexico 1880- 1911) and his political circle played a... Science has been one of the most powerful tools for

Alexander Hamilton and the Duty and Obligation of Government
ISBN: 9783639124408 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Immersed in an age old educational system, the
Revolutionary generation placed no uncertain value on virtue and duty. This education was also a social conditioning which existed on both sides of the Atlantic for hundreds of years. Religion and education served the Revolutionary generation by reinforcing an innate sense of duty wherein all obligation was reciprocal. This was transmitted through the ages by custom, which over time became tradition and finally comes to us as heritage. Understanding the different natures of virtue, is to understand the struggle between capitalism... Immersed in an age old educational system, the

For Capital, For God, or For Liberty
ISBN: 9783639107319 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines anti-slavery activities in the
cities of Liverpool and Manchester, and their shared hinterland from 1787 to 1834. The changing economic and social structures of the region provide a backdrop to consider activities during the campaign against the slave trade up to 1807, and the campaign for emancipation, which achieved success in 1834. Existing theories of economic decline and economic sacrifice to explain Britains abandoning of the slave system do not fully explain the campaigns success. This work explores the complex interplay of commercial, religious and... This book examines anti-slavery activities in the

Commonwealth pilots and air crew under the BCATP for the Allied war effort. To do so, the RCAF had to expand its aerodrome infrastructure to accommodate over one hundred training schools and their auxiliary fields. Few historians have considered the site selection process, assuming that community lobbying and political patronage determined where air bases were built. To verify these hypotheses, the author has consulted the primary records (politicians personal papers, communities lobbying letters, official investigation reports, and final...

After the catastrophe of Mohacs (1526), when the medieval Hungarian Kingdom fell to the Turks, the role of the town changed considerably within the new born Principality of Transylvania.
