Wear Your Love Like Heaven: The Hippie Diaries
ISBN: 9781453731864 / Angielski / Miękka / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a collection of my writing on the subject of hippies. Portions of the material appeared first on the political blog, Daily Kos. There is also approximately 50% new material, and all diaries previously posted online have been substantially rewritten. I write about hippies because my coming of age happened to coincide with the 1960s youth rebellion that was the hippie movement. That and because I believe the hippies still have important messages for us all.

England and Her Soldiers
ISBN: 9781108020565 / Angielski / Miękka / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In the writing of the book, Martineau collaborated with another prominent nineteenth-century figure, Florence Nightingale. They wished to gain political support for improvements in military hygiene and health care. Martineau draws on Nightingale's experiences when nursing wounded soldiers during the Crimean War and builds it into a strong narrative that describes the...

Although Lawless enjoyed literary success, her personal life was marked by tragedy: her father and two of her sisters committed...

The Hills and the Vale
ISBN: 9781108025317 / Angielski / Miękka / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Richard Jefferies (1848 1887) remains one of the most thoughtful and most lyrical writers on the English countryside. He had aspirations to make a living as a novelist, but it was his short, factually based articles for The Live Stock Journal and other magazines, drawn from a wealth of knowledge of the rural community into which he had been born, which when collected in book form brought him recognition (though not wealth), and which continued to be read and admired after his early death. The Hills and the Vale, first released in 1909, contains a collection of published and unpublished essays...

Viele Menschen nutzten die offene Grenze, um politischen, personlichen, familiaren und wirtschaftlichen Problemen durch den Ortswechsel weitgehend konfliktlos zu entfliehen.
