Konza Prairie (PB)
ISBN: 9780700604500 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Konza Prairie is the extraordinary and often lyrical story of...

Picturing Tropical Nature: Russian Printers and Soviet Socialism, 1918-1930
ISBN: 9780801438813 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Whether as sublime landscape, malignant wilderness, or a site for environmental conflicts and eco-tourism, tropical nature is to a great extent an American and European imaginative construct, conveyed in literature, travel writing, drawings, paintings, photographs, and diagrams. These images are central to Nancy Leys Stepan's view that a critical examination of the "tropicalization of nature" can remedy some of the most persistent misrepresentations of the region and its peoples.
