The Mediterranean Fleet, 1919-1929
ISBN: 9781409427568 / Angielski / Twarda / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Following the end of the First World War the Mediterranean Fleet found itself heavily involved in the Eastern Mediterranean, the Sea of Marmora, the Black Sea and to a lesser extent, the Adriatic. Naval commanders were faced with complex problems in a situation of neither war nor peace. The collapse of the Ottoman, Russian and Habsburg empires created a vacuum of power in which different factions struggled for control or influence. In the Black Sea this involved the Royal Navy in intervention in 1919 and 1920 on the side of those Russians fighting the Bolsheviks. By 1920 the Allies were also...

Theorist of Maritime Strategy: Sir Julian Corbett and his Contribution to Military and Naval Thought
ISBN: 9781409433279 / Angielski / Twarda / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since its publication in 1911, Sir Julian's Corbett's Some Principles of Maritime Strategy has remained a key document within naval strategic thinking. Yet despite his undoubted influence, Corbett's theories have not been subjected to scientific review and systematic comparison with other naval thinkers. In this assessment, Dr Widen has provided a fresh interpretation of Corbett's legacy and his continued relevance as a classic theorist of naval war. Divided into three parts, the book begins with a brief biographical overview of Corbett's life, highlighting in particular his bibliographic...

The Coming of Pakeha Religion: The Spiritual Significance for Maori New Zealand's Lost Legacy
ISBN: 9780473188887 / Angielski / Miękka / 710 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The history of the Maori race holds a story so unique that it is unprecedented in the history of human evolution. More especially from the time of the arrival of the European to New Zealand and the Maori world of almost unparalleled savagery and cannibalism, that "arrival" set in train a course of events that ultimately resulted in a race completely transformed from the "old." In very short order through inter-tribal battles primarily set in place by my cannibal ancestor Hongi Hika, "Hongi the man-eater," slaves taken in battle were subsequently instructed by resident missionaries and later...

ISBN: 9781409418498 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ships have histories that are interwoven with the human fabric of the maritime world.

Its ten authors reveal the processes involved through the eyes...

The Ancient Hawaiian State: Origins of a Political Society
ISBN: 9780199916122 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The well-known list of "cradles of civilization" primary states from which all modern nation states ultimately derive, has traditionally been limited to Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley, China, Mesoamerica, and Andean South America. However, by drawing on archaeological and ethnohistorical sources, Robert J. Hommon demonstrates that Polynesia, with primary states in both Hawaii and Tonga, should be added to that list. The Ancient Hawaiian State offers a history of the ancient Hawaiians' transformation of their Polynesian chiefdoms into primary state societies. The emergence of...

Kino Nowej Zelandii
ISBN: 9788361407652 / Polski / Miękka / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Kino Nowej Zelandii zyskało międzynarodowy rozgłos dzięki takim reżyserom jak Peter Jackson, Vincent Ward, Lee Tamahori czy Jane Campion oraz filmom, z których najsłynniejsze to zapewne "Fortepian" (1993), "Tylko instynkt"(1994),"Jeździec wielorybów" (2002) czy trylogia "Władca pierścieni" (2001-3). Faktyczny dorobek tej kinematografii pozostaje jednak ciągle nieznany większości polskich widzów. Wyłania się z niego intrygujące i wielowymiarowe oblicze Nowej Zelandii, bliskiej i egzotycznej zarazem, zmagającej się z kwestią własnej tożsamości kulturowej i potęgą...
