America Day by Day
ISBN: 9780520210677 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Here is the ultimate American road book, one with a perspective unlike that of any other.

Embraced by the Conde Nast set in a swirl of cocktail parties in New York, where she was hailed as the "prettiest existentialist" by Janet Flanner in The New Yorker, de Beauvoir traveled west by car, train, and Greyhound, immersing herself in the nation's culture, customs, people, and landscape. The detailed diary she kept of...

The Travels and Journal of Ambrosio Bembo
ISBN: 9780520249394 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1671, Ambrosio Bembo, a young nobleman bored with everyday life in Venice, decided to broaden his knowledge of the world through travel. That August he set off on a remarkable, occasionally hazardous, four-year voyage to Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and the Portuguese colonies of western India. His journal, now translated into English for the first time, is the most important new European travel account of western Asia to be published in the past hundred years. It opens an extraordinary perspective on the Near East and India at a time when few Europeans traveled to these lands. Keenly...

Voyages in Print: English Narratives of Travel to America 1576-1624
ISBN: 9780521036504 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the decades leading up to England's first permanent American colony, the literature that emerged needed to establish certain realities against a background of skepticism, and it also had to find ways of theorizing the enterprise. The voyage narratives evolved almost from the outset as a genre concerned with recuperating failure--as noble, strategic, even as a form of success. Reception of these texts since the Victorian era has often accepted their claims of heroism and mastery; this study argues for a more complicated, less glorious history.

Sea and Sardinia
ISBN: 9780521285759 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Written after the First World War when he was living in Sicily, Sea and Sardinia records Lawrence's journey to Sardinia and back in January 1921. It reveals his response to a new landscape and people and his ability to transmute the spirit of place into literary art. Like his other travel writings the book is also a shrewd inquiry into the political and social values of an era which saw the rise of communism and fascism. On one level an indictment of contemporary materialism, Sea and Sardinia is nevertheless an optimistic book, celebrating the creativity of the human spirit and seeking in the...

Women Travel Writers and the Language of Aesthetics, 1716-1818
ISBN: 9780521607100 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. British readers of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries eagerly consumed books of travel in an age of imperial expansion that was also the formative period of modern aesthetics. Beauty, sublimity, sensuous surfaces, and scenic views became conventions of travel writing as Britons applied familiar terms to unfamiliar places around the globe. The social logic of aesthetics, argues Elizabeth Bohls, constructed women, the labouring classes, and non-Europeans as foils against which to define the 'man of taste' as an educated, property-owning gentleman. Women writers from Mary Wortley...

A History of Antarctic Science

This book is the first to describe the development of scientific activity in the Antarctic (as distinct from exploration) in all its aspects. Coverage spans three centuries, starting with Halley who laid the foundations of geophysics which was to be the principal driving force behind Antarctic science for most of its history. Although early researchers built up a picture of the main features of the Antarctic environment, the idea of science specific to the continent emerged only later. As the main disciplines of oceanography, earth sciences, the sciences of atmosphere and geospace,...
