ISBN: 9780773524446 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In February 1938 Senator William Borah, an inveterate isolationist, accused the Roosevelt Administration of forming a 'tacit alliance' with Britain. Taking Borah's remark as its starting point, Tony McCulloch analyses Anglo-American relations from the start of Franklin D. Roosevelt's second term in January 1937 through to the outbreak of war in Europe and the revision of the US Neutrality Act in November 1939. The book's central argument is that...

The Significance of Choice in Late Dorset: The technology of domestic architecture in the Eastern North American Arctic c. 1500 B.P.-500 B.P.
ISBN: 9781407310480 / Angielski / Miękka / 295 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study examines the domestic architecture produced by the Late Dorset, an Arctic-adapted hunter-gatherer society which occupied much of the Eastern North American Arctic between circa 1500 B.P. and 500 B.P.

It is replicated via sequences of learned actions or techniques; patterns thus result from adherence to cultural standards while differences represent instances of technological divergence. Such...

Historical Dictionary of Revolutionary America
ISBN: 9780810853898 / Angielski / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The American Revolution was perhaps the most significant event in modern history. It forever demonstrated the ability of a significantly smaller group of people to rebel against their oppressors. On top of that it also gave birth to what would become the most powerful country in the world. And while these feats were impressive, it was the drafting of a constitution, the forging of a union between divided states, and the fashioning of a truly democratic form of government that caused this event to go down in the annals of history. Thus, the Historical Dictionary of Revolutionary America is not...
