The Elsewhere Community
ISBN: 9780195132977 / Angielski / Twarda / 163 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "'All humans, by their nature, ' said Aristotle, 'desire to know.' A special and unparalleled way to know is to simply go where you've never been before. And the key to this quest for knowledge is 'elsewhere.'"

Sheep – The remarkable story of the humble animal that built the modern world.
ISBN: 9781846943812 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What was the most important step in civilization? Alan Butler's answer is that it was when we began capturing wild sheep, domesticating and breeding them. Sheep were the mainstay of ancient cultures, by far the most important of the domesticated animals. Able to survive almost anywhere, over-wintering successfully, they provided not just milk, meat and skin, but warm clothing.
