A History of Violence: From the End of the Middle Ages to the Present
ISBN: 9780745647463 / Angielski / Twarda / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Violence is so much in the news today that we may find it hard to believe that it is less prevalent than it was in the past. But this is exactly what the distinguished historian Robert Muchembled argues in this major new work on the history of violence. He shows that brutality and homicide have been in decline since the thirteenth century. The thesis of a 'civilizing process', of a gradual taming, even sublimation, of violence, seems, therefore, to be well-founded.
How are we to explain this decline in public displays of aggression? What mechanisms have modernizing societies employed to... Violence is so much in the news today that we may find it hard to believe that it is less prevalent than it was in the past. But this is exactly what ...

The Re-Assassination of Malcolm X
ISBN: 9781461181613 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is a response to the very disturbing book by Manning Marable, Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention. Under the guise of "humanizing" Malcolm, Marable and the array of secret forces behind him in fact demonize him. To accomplish this, his book's approach is a slow, subtle, deliberate, methodical strategy to "assassinate" Malcolm--again--as it were, charging, among other things, that he was both gay, and simultaneously cheated on his girlfriend with other females. Also, Marable accuses Malcolm of having cheated on wife Betty with several women. Convincing evidence in The Re-Assassination...

Metfield Parish and Poor in the Late Eighteenth Century
ISBN: 9781463697976 / Angielski / Miękka / 44 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What was life like for the rural poor in 18th century England?

The result in the rural East Anglian county of Suffolk was a scarcity of employment that left many without the means to support themselves or their families. In this fascinating glimpse into community action at a local level, Victor Peskett reveals in this book the workings of the Guardians of the Poor in Metfield, Suffolk, a village committee with powers to levy a charge on the community and, after close...
