Those with an interest in the history and development of the pastimes and sports of the British, cannot fail to be aware of falconry.

Turkish-Italian Relations in the Interwar Period
ISBN: 9783838358475 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The guiding principle of Italian foreign policy in the interwar period was the Mare Nostrum (Our Sea) policy through which the domination over the areas that had been formerly ruled by the Roman Empire was regarded as the foremost aim of Fascist Italy, in order for a national regeneration after the 'mutilated' victory in the Great War. In the light of this imperial goal, Italy posed serious threat to the sovereignty of many countries situated in the Eastern Mediterranean and the Adriatic region, throughout the interwar history. Turkey was one of these countries that felt the keen Italian...

This work scrutinizes the relations of productions being employed in the ciftliks, large farms, of the northern Greece in the nineteenth century and the tensions emanating from them in a class-analysis method. The Tanzimat reforms and the redistribution of the ciftliks located in this region and their respective consequences are elaborated. Due to the reciprocity of landlords and the State, the lands belonging to landlords of Albanian origin with their militia forces impeded the State from enforcing the proclaimed reforms and ends of redistribution. This reciprocity culminated in the...

ISBN: 9783838395364 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Kibbutz concept has historically been both idealized and misconstrued. Using the story of Degania as a case study, existing historiography regarding the formation of the kibbutz identity is surveyed and analyzed in order to determine whether it was ideology or pragmatism that played the central role in creation of the first permanent kvutza. With Degania facing identity-altering changes, this question is now more applicable than ever.

On May 2, 1927, the United States Supreme Court, in a nine-to-one decision, ruled that the State of Virginias Colony of Epileptics and Feebleminded could legally sterilize one of their residents, a young woman called Carrie Buck, without her consent. The case set a precedent in U.S. legal history, deeming an individuals rights to be contingent upon the decision of expert eugenicists as to whether the person was "fit" to reproduce or not. Siding with the majority that day was Associate Justice Louis D. Brandeis, commonly referred to by his contemporaries as the "Peoples attorney." Why...

Ideology, Gender and Power
ISBN: 9783838390376 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The ideology of patriarchy has affected the ways in which historians view and approach the past and it has been influential in shaping womens history. It is little more than 20 years since historians of early modern England began the study of women as a subject worthy of special examination. This oversight derives from a twofold methodological and interpretative misconception. The influence of literary critical theory, particularly that of postmodern feminist theory, and a certain expectation that historical evidence should be approached as text, has had the effect of limiting...

The Domestic Peril
ISBN: 9783843384094 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the years preceding the First World War, corporate propaganda in the United States weighed in against the menace of the 'radical alien, ' said to be a clear and present threat to American freedoms. This propaganda blamed strikes and other manifestations of class antagonism on unassimilated immigrants, who it claimed were, at best, vulnerable to peddlers of 'un-American' unionism, and, at worst, importers of the 'alien' ideologies upon which organised labour was said to be founded. This thesis argues that, in reaction to the Lawrence Strike of 1912, composed mostly of foreign-born workers...

Gender Under Fire
ISBN: 9783843380850 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. South Africa stood at a crossroads during the Second World War. There existed the potential for creating a new vision for gender and race roles. It was, however, the very upheaval in society caused by the war, which led to a rise of conservatism and the eventual creation of the repressive Apartheid state. This work argues that examining the war from the perspective of changing gender roles sheds light not only on civic and family life, but also on the South African state. Using previously inaccessible state records on the war era, the book explores a case study of women's auxiliary military...
