Anecdotes of British Topography: Or, an Historical Account of What Has Been Done for Illustrating the Topographical Antiquities of Great Britain and I
ISBN: 9781108064460 / Angielski / Miękka / 822 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The leading antiquary of his day, Richard Gough (1735 1809) promoted the history of the British Isles, particularly the Anglo-Saxon period, rather than pursuing the classical interests of contemporaries who had made the Grand Tour. Gough travelled extensively over the years, sketching and taking detailed notes on what he observed. He believed that the Society of Antiquaries, of which he was director from 1771 to 1797, should preserve the nation's heritage without catering to fashion or the interests of dilettantes. He published this major work anonymously in 1768, and it found a receptive...

The Eventful Voyage of H.M. Discovery Ship Resolute to the Arctic Regions: In Search of Sir John Franklin and the Missing Crews of H.M. Discovery Ship
ISBN: 9781108070843 / Angielski / Miękka / 594 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Resolute was a merchant ship purchased by the Royal Navy for service in the search for the lost expedition of Sir John Franklin. Its first voyage to the Canadian Arctic, which took place between 1850 and 1851, proved fruitless, so a second, larger expedition was launched in 1852. Again the Resolute could find no trace of Franklin, and the crew came close to perishing themselves. With their ship trapped in ice, they endured the freezing temperatures and a harrowing trek to Beechey Island to survive. Published in 1857, the present work is the journal of George Frederick McDougall (c.1825...

ISBN: 9781843838999 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Landscapes might be considered to be a very mainstream geographical theme, though we treat them in an adventurous way by concentrating on infrastructure and ideology, art and resistance, as well as through a more mainstream exploration of multifunctional landscapes....

Reconstruction by Way of the Soil
ISBN: 9781482678321 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Our agriculture is wrongly based. It is a system largely directed at curing evils which it itself is responsible for. It is the wisdom of the country and the traditional farmers we need now; the wisdom of those who have built up long-lasting agriculture and whose wisdom lies in tradition. They have fashioned it through physical work and close and immediate observation; through the personal intimacy with nature which we have come to associate with the poet. In fact, peasant life is poetic, and it is so precisely because of this intimacy. The music, dance and art of peasants are the creative...
