ISBN: 9780080450742 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. The making and consuming of tourism takes place within a complex social milieu, with competing actors drawing into the product peoples history, culture and lifestyles.

Some of the answers are likely to focus around...

The Crowd in the French Revolution
ISBN: 9780195003703 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What kinds of people were in the crowds that stormed the Bastille, marched to Versailles to bring the king and queen back to Paris, overthrew the monarchy in August 1792, or impassively witnessed the downfall of Robespierre on 9 Thermidor? Who led these crowds or mobilized them to action? What did they hope to achieve, and how far were their aims realized? Earlier historians have tended to view the revolutionary crowd as an abstraction--"people" or "mob" according to the writer's prejudice--often even as the personification of good or evil. Professor Rude's book, published originally in 1959,...

The Evolution of Human Sexuality
ISBN: 9780195029079 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Author Donald Symonds examines the differences between men and women in sexual behavior and attitudes, concluding that these differences are innate and that it is impossible to achieve identical sexualities in males and females.
