ISBN: 9781849025669 / Angielski / Twarda / 494 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) When Matthew Flinders set out in 1801 to carry out a 'complete examination and survey' of the coast of New Holland, little did he know that he would be away for over ten years. Although he did not coin the term 'Australia' he keenly advocated its use, rather than the clumsy 'Terra Australis', and will always be associated with its adoption. As well as his meticulous surveys and maps, he made many observations on ship-board life, flora and fauna, and the appearance and customs of the native peoples he encountered. Volume 2 deals with the second half of his Australian survey, followed by his...

Tahiti Beyond the Postcard: Power, Place, and Everyday Life
ISBN: 9780295991016 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Winner of the 2013 ICAS Book Prize (Social Sciences) The "Tahiti" that most people imagine - white-sand beaches, turquoise lagoons, and beautiful women - is a product of 18th century European romanticism and persists today as the bedrock of Tahiti's tourism industry. This postcard image, however, masks a different reality. The dreams and desires that the tourism industry promotes distract from the medical nightmares and environmental destruction caused by France's 30-year nuclear testing program in French Polynesia. Tahitians see the burying of a bomb in their land as deeply...

In the Belly of Oz
ISBN: 9781771800488 / Angielski / Miękka / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) At first you will think this book is a travel memoir about Australia, and so it may surprise you when it reveals itself as a tale of self-discovery and personal awakening. These twists are revealed when the subject turns to dropping out of law school, flirting with anorexia and getting dumped by a string of wildly inappropriate men. Hold steady when that time comes, dear Reader, because that's where the truth happens. And without truth, there can be no story. You will find that this book is also about growing up a missionary's daughter, at which point, if you're paying attention, you'll...
