ISBN: 9781849952651 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the 19th century, the Stevenson engineers pioneered marvelous lighthouses around the coasts of Scotland - lighthouses which inspire with their architectural elegance, and speak of compassion for sailors and fishermen risking their lives in these notoriously dangerous waters. But what was it actually like to be a Scottish lighthouse engineer, and how did the professional activities interact with social and economic conditions in Scotland at the time? How did the Northern Lighthouse Board's Engineer (almost invariably a Stevenson) cope with weeks aboard a small lighthouse vessel, traveling...

Alcohol, Boat Chases, and Shootouts: How the U.S. Coast Guard and Customs Fought Rum Smugglers and Pirates
ISBN: 9780980051612 / Angielski / Miękka / 594 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the 1920s and early 1930s, the government imposed strict laws against transporting and selling alcohol. This was known as Prohibition. To meet the demand for alcohol, a massive fleet of cargo ships, speedboats, and airplanes smuggled liquor into the US. The Coast Guard and Customs faced the daunting challenge of stopping this never-ending flow of booze without much popular support. Much like the bootleggers and gangsters on land, rum smugglers were well-armed and very violent. To make matters worse, pirates saw the rum ships as easy targets and thought nothing of hijacking the ships and...

ISBN: 9780817319397 / Angielski / Twarda / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ancient Ocean Crossings paints a compelling picture of impressive pre-Columbian cultures and Old World civilizations that, contrary to many prevailing notions, were not isolated from one another, evolving independently, each in its own hemisphere. Instead, they constituted a "global ecumene," involving a complex pattern of intermittent but numerous and profoundly consequential contacts. In Ancient Ocean Crossings: Reconsidering the Case for Contacts with the Pre-Columbian Americas, Stephen Jett encourages readers to reevaluate the common belief that there was...

Pirate Nests and the Rise of the British Empire, 1570-1740
ISBN: 9781469636047 / Angielski / Miękka / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Analyzing the rise and subsequent fall of international piracy from the perspective of colonial hinterlands, Mark G. Hanna explores the often overt support of sea marauders in maritime communities from the inception of England's burgeoning empire in the 1570s to its administrative consolidation by the 1740s. Although traditionally depicted as swashbuckling adventurers on the high seas, pirates played a crucial role on land. Far from a hindrance to trade, their enterprises contributed to commercial development and to the economic infrastructure of port towns.
