Zapatista Identity and Environmentalism
ISBN: 9783639169133 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the less explored facets of the Zapatista National Liberation Army's (EZLN) struggle with the Mexican federal government is how indigenous land rights have come into conflict with environmentalism. The EZLN presents itself as a champion of the rights of all indigenous people in Mexico. Yet the Mayan farmers that support it have come into conflict with the Lacandon Maya, supported by the Mexican government, over access to land in the Montes Azules Biosphere Reserve, located in the Lacandon Jungle. This apparent contradiction between this political reality and the EZLN's positions is...

Political Conspiracy in Napoleonic France
ISBN: 9783639162714 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Napoleon Bonaparte seized control of France on 18 Brumaire VIII, promising to uphold the Revolutionary ideals that permeated the nation. Within a few years, however, he returned the country to autocratic rule. He enlisted the services of men whose ideologies conflicted with the empire, engendering instability within his new government. Despite many attempts, only one man achieved enough success to unsettle the Emperor's belief that his government was secure. General Claude-Francois de Malet was a fervent Republican and despite constant denunciations of Napoleon, few considered him a serious...

One of the more remarkable survivals from sociable eighteenth-century England is the Spalding Gentlemen's Society.

Migration History in World History: Multidisciplinary Approaches
ISBN: 9789004180314 / Angielski / Twarda / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Migration is the talk of the town. On the whole, however, the current situation is seen as resulting from unique political upheavals. Such a-historical interpretations ignore the fact that migration is a fundamental phenomenon in human societies from the beginning and plays a crucial role in the cultural, economic, political and social developments and innovations. So far, however, most studies are limited to the last four centuries, largely ignoring the spectacular advances made in other disciplines which study the 'deep past', like anthropology, archaeology, population genetics and...

The Coming of the Book: The Impact of Printing, 1450-1800
ISBN: 9781844676330 / Angielski / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The emergence of the book was not merely an event of world historical importance, but the dawn of modernity. In this much praised work, Lucien Febvre and Henri-Jean Martin mesh together economic and technological history, sociology and anthropology, with the study of consciousness itself to root the development of printing in the changing social relations and ideological struggles of Western Europe. Now that the printed page may become a thing of the past, The Coming of the Book is more pertinent than ever.

The Balance of Power and the transition to democracy in South Africa
ISBN: 9783639179392 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a study of the transition to democracy in South Africa. It delineates South Africas transition as the ultimate consequence of the clash between the enforced political constructs of apartheid and the inexorably prevailing economic realities in South Africa. Apartheid was implemented from 1948 in order to impose strictly political measures above the general economic concerns of South Africa. Yet this induced sustained structural economic crisis, especially from the 1970s. The growing consensus of the 1980s advocating the primacy of negotiations and the excruciating process of...

Elite Schooling in Vienna (1870-1910)
ISBN: 9783639193831 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The issue of the elite schooling in Vienna between 1870 and 1910 constitutes a part of a larger problem of cultural elite in fin-de-siecle Vienna and of educated elites in the Central European societies during the period of modernization. The complex socio-ethnic and religious character was a distinctive feature of the Viennese educated elite, for the capital city drew the different categories of the multicultural, multiethnic, and multi- confessional population of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, who sought for advanced secondary education for their offspring with diverging frequency and...

Dictionary of British Arms: Medieval Ordinary Volume III
ISBN: 9780854312931 / Angielski / Twarda / 787 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is the third in a series of volumes designed to enable those with a working knowledge of heraldry to identify medieval British coats of arms. Listed in this volume are entries from Chief to Fess. The project is the result of a bequest to the Society of Antiquaries in 1926 for the production of a new edition of Papworth's Ordinary which has remained, since its publication in 1874, the principal tool for the identification of British coats of arms. An Ordinary, in this context, is a collection of arms arranged alphabetically according to their designs, as opposed to an armory which is...

Permeable Boundary
ISBN: 9783639203639 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The role of the Russian Orthodox Church in contemporary Russian society is subject to increasing interest both in Russia and among foreign scholars. As Russias communist past gradually becomes more distant, religion, and most notably Orthodoxy, seems to amplify its presence in the public sphere. In sharp contrast to the Soviet regimes suppression of all kinds of religious activities, the Russian state now seems to welcome a closer relationship with the Church, at least on the symbolic level. In this book I discuss perceptions of the constitutional separation between state and ...

Women and Death 3: Women's Representations of Death in German Culture Since 1500
ISBN: 9781571134394 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Western culture, women are often linked with death, perhaps because they are traditionally constructed as an unknowable -other.- The first two Women and Death volumes investigate ideas about death and the feminine as represented in German culture since 1500, focusing, respectively, on the representation of women as victims and killers and the idea of the woman warrior, and confirming that women who kill or die violent or untimely deaths exercise fascination even as they pose a threat. The traditions of representation traced in the first two volumes, however, are largely patriarchal. What...

Barbed Wire: An Ecology of Modernity
ISBN: 9780819569592 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this original and controversial book, historian and philosopher Reviel Netz explores the development of a controlling and pain-inducing technology--barbed wire. Surveying its development from 1874 to 1954, Netz describes its use to control cattle during the colonization of the American West and to control people in Nazi concentration camps and the Russian Gulag. Physical control over space was no longer symbolic after 1874. This is a history told from the perspective of its victims. With vivid examples of the interconnectedness of humans, animals, and the environment, this dramatic...

The British Navy's Victualling Board, 1793-1815: Management Competence and Incompetence
ISBN: 9781843835530 / Angielski / Twarda / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, the Royal Navy increased its manpower from fewer than 20,000 to more than 147,000 men, with a concomitant increase in the quantities of food and drink required to sustain them. The organisation responsible for this, the Victualling Board, performed its tasks using techniques and systems which it had developed over the previous 110 years. In terms of actually delivering supplies to warships, troopships and army garrisons abroad, the Victualling Board performed well given the constraints of long-distance communications and intermittent...

Thompson focus on two themes: the rise and fall as well as the relative decline of major world powers over the past five hundred years, and the way in which these processes have set the stage for the outbreak of global war. Their interdisciplinary approach encompasses political science, economics, sociology, geography, and history. The most significant wars occur when regional leaders -- historically in Western Europe -- challenge global leaders. By studying the wars of Napoleon, Louis XIV, Phillip II and the...

Ideology and Practice
ISBN: 9783639209365 / Angielski / Miękka / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There have been numerous works born in Hungary about the socialist era since 1990, and yet there are still a few deficiencies in the field of social history. Life changed to an enormous extent in Hungary between the 1960's and 1980's; the society became a quasi-capitalist society by the end of the 80's. However, the picture drawn by the socialist sociology differed from reality fundamentally. The majority of sociological studies provided a realistic picture of Hungary, while some authors included more or less ideological issues in their writings. The socialist ideology appeared much more...

La France Équinoxiale
ISBN: 9781108006828 / Angielski / Miękka / 460 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Henri Coudreau (1859 1899) was one of the greatest explorers of the nineteenth century. He was highly regarded in his own time as a thoroughly modern expedition leader, and his reports on the anthropological and geographical features of the region were of great value in the expansion of French colonial power. In this magisterial two-volume work, Coudreau describes the history of French settlement and rule in Guyana, and its people, flora and fauna, drawing particular attention to the natural resources ready to be exploited in the region. Based on four years of observations dating from his...
