ISBN: 9781844074693 / Angielski / Twarda / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many parts of the developing world are subject to variable and extreme climate, the impacts of which impede development and point to the need to improve the understanding and management of climate risks.

The simplest model for the construction of... A major critique of the globalization of the culture principle in anthropology. This study contends that the subjective anthropology promoted throu... |
