Journal of a Voyage of Discovery to the Arctic Regions, Performed 1818, in His Majesty's Ship Alexander, Wm. Edw. Parry, Esq. Lieut. and Commander
ISBN: 9781108042246 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This journal, published in 1819 and generally attributed to Alexander Fisher, assistant surgeon of the Alexander, describes Sir John Ross' abortive expedition to search for the North-West Passage. Ross' own report of the voyage (also reissued in this series) was highly controversial, and William Edward Parry (1790 1855), who had commanded the Alexander, was sent by the Admiralty early in 1819 to continue the mission instead of his former superior. Fisher's account, which he insists is 'strictly true', begins with details of the generous provisions and special cold-weather equipment on the...

The True Red Sea Crossing to the True Mount Sinai
ISBN: 9781937129286 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The traditional route of the Exodus, which has the children of Israel wading in shallow water through an area north of the Gulf of Suez while the tide was out, has never appealed to thinking Bible readers as the crossing matching the Biblical account. Not any more than the traditional Mount Sinai in the Sinai Peninsula meets the Biblical grounds for the correct Mountain of God. Especially when Paul, under inspiration, tells us in Galatians 4:25 that it was in Arabia.
It is my desire that the reader will find this information corresponds to the Bible, as I did. After many years of Bible... The traditional route of the Exodus, which has the children of Israel wading in shallow water through an area north of the Gulf of Suez while the tide...

The tone of the book is typical of early nineteenth-century European travel literature,...

Devastation in Japan: An Economic Analysis
ISBN: 9781468165609 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Japan is a mighty economy, brought into being by a determined and resilient people. Its geographical positioning, however, means that its security is far from guaranteed. Yet along with other Pacific-rim countries, it continues to attract migrants, swelling cities that are evermore prone to natural disaster. Dr Pascua looks at Japan first from a historical point of view: the rise to economic pre-eminence, the survival of nuclear attack, and then the continual march for progress, despite potential for disaster on the way. The tsunami of March 2011 is examined against the background of the...

ISBN: 9781904890744 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Additionally, it is a seminal document in Nimmo's personal transformation from schoolmaster to engineer. Nimmo later resigned his Rector's position in 1811 and took up a post...

Healing Waters: Therapeutic Landscapes in Historic and Contemporary Ireland
ISBN: 9780754676522 / Angielski / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bringing together a range of different place-studies, including holy wells, spa towns, Turkish baths and sweat-houses, sea-bathing and the modern spa, this book investigates associations between water, health, place and culture in Ireland. It is informed by a humanistic approach, showing how health and place are socially and culturally constructed and how health is embodied, experienced and enacted in place. In addition, the work argues that an understanding of health and place must also consider the historical, societal and cultural orthodoxies that shape and produce those places.
