An era of sweeping cultural change in America, the postwar years saw the rise of beatniks and hippies, the birth of feminism, and the release of the first video game. It was also the era of new math.

ISBN: 9780826215710 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 631 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Spanning some fifty-four years, The Union on Trial is a fascinating look at the journals that William Barclay Napton (1808-1883), an editor, Missouri lawyer, and state supreme court judge, kept from his time as a student at Princeton to his death in Missouri.
