Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The nineteenth century was a turbulent period in the history of the philosophical scrutiny of religion.

Over the course of the century, the work of Marx, Freud, Darwin and Durkheim brought the revolutionary...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Until the lions are taught to write, history will always be written by the hunters'. In the early planning stages of Freedom Park Robin Binckes participated as a member of the history subcommittee. The amount of debate and argument, much of it heated, astounded him. Practically every event discussed was interpreted from diametrically differing viewpoints. One of the most controversial topics was the Great Trek, the 1836 Boer exodus from the Cape Colony. Traditionally writers on the subject have covered the event from a perspective not only of 'white history' but predominantly of 'Afrikaner...

Wars, Pestilence and the Surgeon's Blade: The Evolution of British Military Medicine and Surgery During the Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9781909384095 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Wars in the 19th Century were accompanied by a very heavy loss of life from infectious diseases. Typhus fever, dysentery, malaria, typhoid fever and yellow fever caused many more deaths than wounds inflicted by enemy actions. During the Peninsular War, for example, for every soldier dying of a wound, four succumbed to disease. This book examines the development and evolution of surgical practice against this overwhelming risk of death due to disease. It reviews three major conflicts during this time: the Peninsular War, the Crimean War and the Boer War and also considers many minor wars...

Social Control and the Education of Adults in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries: The Role of Religion, Natural Law, Science and Useful Know
ISBN: 9781612337050 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) An almost universal concern of the Victorian governing classes was with the question of social control: how to deflect a largely uneducated working class from their inevitable challenge to the centres of power, accepted value systems and existing authority structures. The fear in which the masses were held by the middle and upper classes came to dominate access to education or, more accurately, to what they defined as "useful knowledge," since this was designed to instil the values of a just and ordered society. Conversely for the working class, it would give them power; power over their own...

Coping with Change: British Society, 1780-1914
ISBN: 9781492969129 / Angielski / Miękka / 774 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) There are many parallels between Britain today and Britain during the 'long' nineteenth century. Both societies were coping with substantial and sustained population growth and the tensions this creates between different ethnic groups. Both had to cope with profound changes. Our current fixation with the environment was paralleled by the Victorians who sought, and largely failed, to take remedial action necessary to counter the impact of industrial change and urban growth on society. Education, crime and the nature of leisure are equally issues on which the attitudes of Victorians have much...

Great Nations Still Enchained : The Cartoonists' Vision of Empire 1848-1914
ISBN: 9780415862158 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The grandeur of the great imperial powers of the nineteenth century - Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary and even the burgeoning United States, was constantly subverted by the cartoonists of the day. As Roy Douglas reveals, cartoons are often more accurate guides to popular feelings than the newspapers in which they appeared. In this, his third look at history through the eyes of the cartoonist, Roy Douglas provides a clear historical narrative which explains the subtle meaning below the surface of the cartoons. Taken from the period leading to the First World War, these...

Parties, Agents and Electoral Culture in England, 1880-1910
ISBN: 9780861933402 / Angielski / Twarda / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The electoral reforms of 1883-5 created a mass electorate and transformed English political culture. A new breed of professional organisers emerged in the constituencies in the form of full-time party agents, who handled registration, electioneering and the day-to-day political, social and educational work of local parties; they performed a vital role as intermediaries between politics at Westminster and at grass-roots level, bridging the gap between -high- and -low- politics. This book examines the agents not only as political figures, but also as men (and occasionally women) determined to...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Seit Jahrhunderten sind weite Teile Sudosteuropas durch das Zusammenleben von verschiedenen ethnischen und religiosen Gruppen gekennzeichnet.
