sovietization as realized in Central Asia in the second half of the 1920s. Showing how Moscow intended to transform the region along the lines of Soviet ideology, the cases - which draw extensively from previously unpublished archival sources - represent the delicate intersection of soft- and hard-line policies and bureaucratic control.

Between 1943 and 1946 the Rural Reconstruction Commission conducted the most ambitious public inquiry thus far held in Australia into agricultural production and resource management, agricultural commodity marketing and rural lifestyles. This book analyses that process, examining the circumstances in which the Commission was established, as well as the competing and mutating agendas of ministers, bureaucrats and commissioners.

Developments in the 'Big One'
ISBN: 9783838304991 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In New Zealand historiography little attention has been paid to the growth of urban centres. Developments in the Big One fills a small part of this gap. Auckland, more so than other cities in New Zealand, has grown by importing migrants and not solely by natural increments. The size, diversity and migration history of Aucklands population are key factors contributing towards a perceived distance between Auckland and the rest of New Zealand. This book explores three facets of post World War II Auckland. Firstly it examines the allure of Auckland as the Big One to migrants in the...

The Migration of Ideas
ISBN: 9783838377162 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. By the end of the nineteenth century, Ireland, as the result of mass emigration, particularly to the United States, had come to mean more than just the island itself. This reality has been acknowledged by recent scholarship; however, the transnational dimensions of Irish culture and identity, particularly during the self-reflective years of the Irish renaissance, have yet to be adequately documented and dissected. This monograph rectifies this by examining how, why and with what consequences Irish cultural ideas were exported, particularly through the vector of lecture-tours, to the United...

The Anti-War Movement of the South African War
ISBN: 9783838346304 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study focuses on the metropolitan Pro-Boer movement that emerged when Britain fought against the two Boer republics. These Pro-Boers argued that the war was unnecessary, for Britain could have achieved its objective with the Boers through more negotiations. This book is an analysis of Pro-Boer ideas in various forms of ephemeral literature. An important theme is that the Pro-Boers struggled to contest the war as a united front against the government. The Pro-Boers published leaflets that included competing dialogues of protest. As the war progressed, the critics became more united...

ISBN: 9783838334103 / Angielski / Miękka / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There is an increasing acceptance that womens contribution to history has not been adequately acknowledged. This book looks at the largely unrecognised work of missionary women in British West Africa in the 19th century. Missionary work was one of the few areas in this period which women could appropriate, both at home, in supporting the missionary societies, and overseas. This book sets out to show how essential women were to the missionary effort. At home they were able to control and run large organisations with considerable resources. Overseas women were able to develop an...

Delphine Gay de Girardin exercised considerable influence within the literary society of her day.

World War II was waged on an unprecedented scale, and the peace which followed was equally unprecedented.

In November and December of 1944, the US Army hosted the Disarmament School, a series of lectures by experts in the field of demilitarization planning.

A Crisis of Masculinity
ISBN: 9783838351230 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. World War I caused a crisis in the ethics of masculinity for North American Mennonites. It marked their first continent-wide forced contact with militant states involved in a popular mass war. As an internally divided, secluded, pacifist, and primarily German-speaking people, they were not prepared for the challenge the militant masculinity posed to Mennonite men. Mennonite teachings on the war were only consistent with masculine humility, not pacifism. The response of Mennonite men was complex and some men responded to the war by developing new concerns for church doctrine and for global...

Fire Across the Water
ISBN: 9783838343808 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the mid-18th century a series of revivals flared within the colonies of British North America. These revivals transcended ethnic, linguistic, and geographical boundaries. In the middle colonies, where Scots-Irish Presbyterians were often dominant, the revivals were particularly controversial, as they divided churches, communities, presbyteries, and even the colonial synod. Fire Across the Water looks at the dynamics of this Presbyterian revival among several frontier communities and their parish churches, noting how they split along socioeconomic lines. It brings to life the careers and...
