Creating Capitalism: Joint-Stock Enterprise in British Politics and Culture, 1800-1870
ISBN: 9780861933235 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Winner of the Economic History Society's Best First Monograph award 2009 The emergence of the joint-stock company in nineteenth-century Britain was a culture shock for many Victorians. Though the home of the industrial revolution, the nation's economy was dominated by the private partnership, seen as the most efficient as well as the most ethical form of business organisation. The large, impersonal company and the rampant speculation it was thought to encourage were viewed with suspicion and downright hostility. This book argues that the existing historiography understates society's...

Women and Marriage in Nineteenth-Century England
ISBN: 9781138009011 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 'bonds of matrimony' describes with cruel precision the social and political status of married women in the nineteenth century. Women of all classes had only the most limited rights of possession in their own bodies and property yet, as this remarkable book shows, women of all classes found room to manoeuvre within the narrow limits imposed on them. Upper-class women frequently circumvented the onerous limitations of the law, while middle-class women sought through reform to change their legal status. For working-class women, such legal changes were irrelevant, but they too found ways to...

Stepping into the Darkness
ISBN: 9783659296819 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book details the process of how Britain and America, between 1945 and 1948, collaborated in the days after World War II in terms of providing a semblance of humanitarian aid to Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, as well as other civilians, who had been displaced during the conflict. These civilians had different circumstances, different needs, and different destinations. In the face of this reality, and reflecting on the tumultuous world of the twenty-first century that still has numerous humanitarian crises to deal with, what lessons can the international community take from the...

Public health and african initiative in South Africa
ISBN: 9783846581704 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The encounter between Africans and the West in early South Africa is as much about Africans as victims as it is about their agency. While the crude power of the West to subjugate Africans for colonial service was real, it is generally over-estimated. The idea that western traditions of education, health and family life just transformed subjugated Africans needs nuancing. Using the experiences of Africans on the south-eastern coast, modern-day KwaZulu-Natal, this work suggests that the evolution of western medicine was conditioned as much by colonial Christian interests as by African...

Nigerian Press and Politics, 1937 - 1967
ISBN: 9783848486397 / Angielski / Miękka / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A historical study of the Nigerian press during the era of Nnamdi Azikiwe, Nigeria's foremost charismatic journalist and nationalist politician, which builds and expands on Professor F.I.A. Omu's pioneering study of press and politics in Nigeria is long overdue. By examining the newspapers, along with archival sources, and interacting with some of the actors on the media scene during the period up to 1967, Dr. Mordi now fills the gap in the crucial period of Nigeria's contemporary social and political history in which the press and pressmen played a preeminent role. Written for university...

The Representation of Absurdity in Thomas Pynchon's Fiction
ISBN: 9783659478208 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Crying of Lot49 and Gravitys Rainbow, the concept of absurdity reigns from the beginning until the end. Indeed, there are characters who strive to abate the amount of their dislocation by stepping into the unknown to finally accept their unknown destiny. Absurdity is an unbearable, a truculent and a weird state of mind. In fact, Pynchon seems to be telling the reader that America has lost much of its historical and political energies. Yet, it should be understood that his project is primarily an artistic project whereby he seeks to explore and create an absurd style of representation...
