ISBN: 9780738570747 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Between 1890 and 1930, Salt Lake City experienced some of the most rapid and profound changes of any city in U.S. history. In its pioneer period, from the beginning of white settlement in 1847 to about 1890, the city struggled against outside pressures to maintain its identity as a self-sufficient Mormon utopian community, with its theocratic government, agricultural economy, and polygamous society.

Taylor
ISBN: 9780738572567 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On November 23, 1893, Judge R. W. Archbald signed the decree making Taylor a borough. A century earlier in 1782, Cornelius Atherton, originally from Massachusetts, became Taylor s first permanent settler on a hill overlooking Keyser Creek.

In the mid-1850s, the Union Coal Company sank a shaft, built a breaker, and began to ship coal. When the company went out of business, New York City financier Moses Taylor bought up the abandoned coal land and reopened...

Orlando West, Soweto: An Illustrated History
ISBN: 9781868145447 / Angielski / Miękka / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Until the end of World War I, urban growth in Johannesburg proceeded haphazardly. But under the impact of a wave of militant struggles by black workers the state became determined to better manage the movement of Africans into the urban areas. The growing demand for housing led the government to establish Orlando in 1931, and thousands of African families were evicted from urban slums in and around the city centre and moved there. The authorities described this as a "model native township" that was supposedly planned along the lines of a garden city. The new location, it promised, would...

In "The Face of Madness," notable scholar Sander Gilman has curated a unique exhibition of 54 of Dr. Diamond's photographs and commentary. Diamond's photographs are eloquent portraits of the insane-the melancholy, the depressed, the... Today the use of photography (and its extension, video) in psychiatry is a common practice.
