The author has culled from the existing literature on the...

Legacies
ISBN: 9780983032533 / Angielski / Miękka / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. People think of a legacy as being material gains that a family may leave to their offspring when one dies. I believe this is only a portion of the sum totals of one's inheritance. It is good to be able to bestow material gains to one's offspring, and there is nothing wrong with that. But I also believe giving them a sense of who they are, and passing down certain events that the family has experienced and learned, will equally be an important legacy. Families, telling stories about families, keep them together. When the stories are negative, prayerfully the family will learn from them. When...

ISBN: 9781468096880 / Angielski / Miękka / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At the offset, a member of the American Society of Polar philatelists implied that Canal Zone philately associated with the First Byrd Antarctic Expedition (BAE I), between 1928 and 1930, wasn't a worthy enough subject to write about. Having been a long-term resident of the Canal Zone and an expert on its aerophilately and philately, the writer was challenged to prove otherwise. Which of us overwhelmed the other is left to the reader to decide.

British imperial encounters with indigenous cultures created perceptions and stereotypes that still persist today. The initial creation of racial images in relation to violence - such as 'warrior race' or 'unoffending people' - had particular consequences for land ownership. Whilst the Maori of New Zealand were understood to be sovereign owners of their country, Australian Aboriginals were not. Standfield examines these differences and how they occurred.
