Patagonia: Natural History, Prehistory, and Ethnography at the Uttermost End of the Earth
ISBN: 9780691631271 / Angielski / Twarda / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Some fourteen to ten thousand years ago, as ice-caps shrank and glaciers retreated, the first bands of hunter-gatherers began to colonize the continental extremity of South America--"the uttermost end of the earth." Their arrival marked the culmination of humankind's epic journey to people the globe. Now they are extinct. This book tells their story. The book describes how these intrepid nomads confronted a hostile climate every bit as forbidding as ice-age Europe as they penetrated and settled the wilds of Fuego-Patagonia. Much later, sixteenth-century European voyagers encountered...

Brazil: The Once and Future Country
ISBN: 9780312214456 / Angielski / Miękka / 301 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As the most comprehensive introduction to Brazil available in English, Brazil: The Once and Future Country shows Brazil to be a land of the marvellous and the mystical, the sublime and the tragic. Eakin describes a country defined by paradoxes: immense wealth surrounded by widespread poverty, a modern industrial infrastructure alongside an outmoded agricultural system, a largely white South and a Northeastern coast that is overwhelmingly of African descent. Eakin chronicles Brazil's development from its origins in the sixteenth century, when it was created as a by-product of European imperial...

The Andes: A Cultural History
ISBN: 9780195386363 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Andes form the backbone of South America. Irradiating from Cuzco--the symbolic "navel" of the indigenous world--the mountain range was home to an extraordinary theocratic empire and civilization, the Incas, who built stone temples, roads, palaces, and forts. The clash between Atahualpa, the last Inca, and the illiterate conquistador Pizarro, between indigenous identity and European mercantile values, has forged Andean culture and history for the last 500 years. Jason Wilson explores the 5,000-mile chain of volcanoes, deep valleys, and upland plains, revealing the Andes' mystery,...

Travel Narratives in Dialogue: Contesting Representations of Nineteenth-Century Peru
ISBN: 9780820495200 / Angielski / Twarda / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Travel Narratives in Dialogue examines nineteenth-century imperialist travelogues written about Peru and examines Peruvian writers of the same period who fashioned their own travelogues as protests against how imperialist writers denigrated Peru and Peruvian culture. This study exposes the dialogic nature of travelogues in the Bakhtinean sense and underscores how the travel-writing subjects produce texts that serve as fora of struggle, coercion, control, and contestation depending on the personal, imperialist, nationalist, and proto-feminist agendas the writers supported. Travel...

A Voyage to Patagonia through the Straits of Magellan aboard the H.M.S. Beagle and Adventure (1826-1827)
ISBN: 9783941842250 / Angielski / Twarda / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Die Expedition der britischen Schiffe "Beagle" und "Adventure" in den Jahren 1826 und 1827 diente vornehmlich der Erkundung der Magellan-Strae fur die Nutzung durch die Handelsschifffahrt. Man wollte Alternativen zu dem gefahrlichen Seeweg um Kap Horn finden, war sich aber durchaus bewusst, dass auch die Magellan-Strae mit ihren starken Stromungen, heftigen Sturmen und zahlreichen Untiefen groe Gefahren fur Segelschiffe barg. Die wendigen und schnellen Erkundungsschiffe der Royal Navy leisteten gefahrliche Pionierarbeit. Von groem Gluck fur die Nachwelt sollte sich der Umstand erweisen, dass...
