Settlers and Expatriates: Britons Over the Seas
ISBN: 9780199297672 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The British Empire gave rise to various new forms of British identity in the colonial world outside the Dominions. In cities and colonies, and in sovereign states subject to more informal pressures such as Argentina or China, communities of Britons developed identities inflected by local ambitions and pressures. As a result they often found themselves at loggerheads with their diplomatic or colonial office minders, especially in the era of decolonisation. The impact of empire on metropolitan British identity is increasingly well documented; the evolution of dominions' nationalisms is likewise...

South Pole: Nature and Culture
ISBN: 9781780235967 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As one of two points where the Earth s axis meets its surface, the South Pole should be a precisely defined place. But as Elizabeth Leane shows in this book, conceptually it is a place of paradoxes. An invisible spot on a high, featureless ice plateau, the Pole has no obvious material value, yet it is a highly sought-after location, and reaching it on foot is one of the most extreme adventures an explorer can undertake. The Pole is, as Leane shows, a deeply imagined place, and a place of politics, where a series of national claims converge.
Leane details the important challenges that the... As one of two points where the Earth s axis meets its surface, the South Pole should be a precisely defined place. But as Elizabeth Leane shows in thi...

ISBN: 9781108039147 / Angielski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
