ISBN: 9780719017018 / Angielski / Miękka / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. If England was 'the first industrial nation', Lancashire was emphatically the first industrial county the first to develop, over a wide area, the combination of steam-powered factory industry and urban sprawl which says 'Industrial Revolution' to most people.

Qing Perceptions of Anti-Chinese Violence in the United States
ISBN: 9783639145434 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book concerns Qing perceptions of Anti-Chinese
violence in the United States. Before the Opium War, the number of overseas Chinese was ignored by the Qing government, which labeled them as "deserters" or "political conspirators". The Opium War (1839-1842) resulted in a humiliating treaty, and the opening of the Treaty ports in the 1840s quickened the process of Chinese immigration. These increases in the number of overseas Chinese immigrants led to ill-treatment and violence in the American West including the 1880 Denver Riot and the 1885 Rock Springs Chinese massacre. After an initial... This book concerns Qing perceptions of Anti-Chinese

ISBN: 9783639149715 / Angielski / Miękka / 468 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When Carol McAlester, a good friend and warden, told me that carrying out the death penalty in the United States, killing people, was wearing her out, I was compelled to discover how she and her colleagues coped with such a gruesome responsibility. Although capital punishment may fade from American history, many whose lives it touched will live on. Therefore, I pursued an investigation that lead to interviews with corrections officials; offenders; attorneys; chaplains; and victims, those who'd had loved ones murdered and executed. Some of the individuals I met were slowly becoming stronger in...

This is the history of Skyline Tower, the largest single-building housing project in the United States west of Chicago. Built in a neighborhood with a scarred past - just blocks from one of Minnesota's wealthiest neighborhoods - on a precipice overlooking a major interstate highway, and constructed and managed by a for-profit corporation receiving government subsidies during most of its history, the story of Skyline Tower demonstrates how the confluence of disparate trends produces a situation of relative advantage/disadvantage in racially hierarchical systems such as the United States.

Britain's and France's Shared Colonial Policies
ISBN: 9783836469166 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines France's choice in the early 1900's to replace its official colonial policy of assimilation with one of association. Why did France exchange an ideology rooted both in its Latin heritage and in its revolutionary past with one espoused by its colonial rival, Great Britain? This book attempts to answer that question by a case study in West Africa: it demonstrates how the French colony of Sngal came to be administered like a British colony, in particular the Gambia. In doing so, it shows that the implementation of "indirect rule" in 1854 and the creation of a protectorate in...

On many occasions, and for varied reasons, womens athleticism in Poland was a source of immense pride and prestige for both the state and society.
