ISBN: 9781784531775 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The beginnings of what we now call globalization dates from the early sixteenth century, when Europeans, in particular the Iberian monarchies, began to connect the four parts of the world . From the end of the eighteenth and throughout the nineteenth centuries, technical advancements, such as the growth of the European rail network and the increasing ease of international shipping, narrowed the physical and imagined distances between different parts of the globe. Books, printed matter and theatrical performances were a crucial part of this process and the so-called long nineteenth century saw...

The Resolution Journal of Johann Reinhold Forster, 1772-1775: Volume IV

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This presents the previously unpublished journal of the principal naturalist on Cook's second voyage. The main pagination of this volume and the three previous volumes in the set (Second series 152-154) is continuous. Overshadowed for nearly two hundred years in European scholarship by the achievements and reputation of his eldest son George Forster, J. R. Forster - principal naturalist on James Cook's second voyage - was nevertheless recognised by many contemporaries as one of the 'universal geniuses' of the late 18th century. His journal of the voyage offers many new insights, expressed at...

The Trouble with Empire: Challenges to Modern British Imperialism
ISBN: 9780199936601 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The Trouble with Empire contends that dissent and disruption were constant features of imperial experience and that they should, therefore, drive narratives of the modern British imperial past. Moving across the one hundred years between the first Anglo-Afghan war and Gandhi's salt marches, the book tracks commonalities between different forms of resistance in order to understand how regimes of imperial security worked in practice. This emphasis on protest and struggle is intended not only to reveal indigenous agency but to illuminate the limits of imperial power, official and...

Petticoat Heroes: Gender, Culture and Popular Protest in the Rebecca Riots
ISBN: 9781783167883 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The wave of unrest which took place in the 1840s in Wales known as the Rebecca riots stands out as a success story within the generally gloomy annals of popular struggle and defeat: farmers and workers, outlandishly dressed in bonnets and petticoats, showed their outrage against unfair taxes by attacking tollgates and other symbols of perceived injustice. Petticoat Heroes draws on the fields of cultural history, gender studies, and anthropology to present fresh and alternative arguments on the meaning of Rebeccaite costume and ritual, the significance of the feminine in protest, and...

British Burma in the New Century, 1895-1918
ISBN: 9781137364326 / Angielski / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) British Burma in the New Century, 1895 - 1918 draws upon neglected but very talented colonial authors to portray Burma between 1895 and 1918, which was the apogee of British governance. These writers, most of them 'Burmaphiles', wrote against widespread misperceptions about Burma. They sought to separate Burma from India, recover the country's recent and ancient past, understand Buddhism and revere the land, all while supporting the imperial mission. Between 1895 and 1918, Burma experienced a period of profound social and economic transformation. Burma would be challenged by bubonic plague,...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This, the third part of the series, looks at Chartism from the grassroots. Although I originally intended to deal with the local roots of Chartism in one book, the scale of the project necessitated dividing it in two. Although there is inevitably overlap with Chartism: Rise and Demise, these books focus on how Chartism played out regionally and locally reinforcing the point that local priorities and political agendas did not always correspond with those put forward nationally and that, although the national leadership developed principles and policies, operational details were frequently left...

ISBN: 9781511941174 / Angielski / Miękka / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In the early nineteenth century education for girls was limited to the reading, writing, religion, and simple arithmetic offered at the local district schools. Boys had always been allowed to attend college or become apprenticed to skilled workmen. But girls had no such opportunities until pioneer educators began to establish seminaries for young women where they could receive advanced learning. In 1831 Prudence Crandall was proud that her reputation as an outstanding teacher had prompted the male leaders of the town to select her to head a girls' seminary in Canterbury, Connecticut. The...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Art versus industry? is about the encounters between the visual arts and industry in Britain during the long nineteenth-century. It looks beyond the oppositions that were established between these two spheres by later interpretations of the work of John Ruskin, William Morris and the Arts and Crafts movement, to reveal surprising examples of collaboration between artists, craftspeople, designers, inventors, curators, engineers and educators at a crucial period in the formation of the cultural and commercial identity of Britain and its colonies.

The Greeks and the British in the Levant, 1800-1960s: Between Empires and Nations
ISBN: 9781472467805 / Angielski / Twarda / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book explores the concept of the Levant as a component of the regional and international system during the age of imperialism. At its heart is a focus on the experience of Greek-speaking societies and, above all, the independent state of Greece that came into existence in 1830. A key sub-theme running through the account is the Anglo-Hellenic connection stemming from an enhanced British presence in the Eastern Mediterranean from the 1830s and 1840s, and in particular its relationship to the Greek polity. Within this framework the emergence of the idea of Greater Greece is integrated...

ISBN: 9781518685897 / Angielski / Miękka / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) 'Now, Mr Editor I should very much like to know who is to blame ...' Birmingham Journal, 24 February 1838. This book was inspired by one letter to a newspaper. In January 1842 a correspondent to one of the Birmingham newspapers expressed his view that police constables, when they had nothing else to do, should be instructed to clear the foot paths of snow. From this unintentionally amusing letter grew this project, which collects together over sixty letters published in Aris's Birmingham Gazette and the Birmingham Journal from 1820 to 1850. Correspondents wrote in to their newspapers to...
