Общество и государство в домонгольский пе
by Н.И. Хлебников

Nationalismus Und Internationale Zusammenarbeit in Den Naturwissenschaften (Boethius, #39)
by Kai Torsten Kanz
During the period of America's swiftest industrialization and urban growth, fire struck fear in the hearts of city dwellers as did no other calamity.

Between 1871 and 1906, conflagrations left Chicago, Boston, Baltimore, and San Francisco in ruins. Into the twentieth century, this dynamic hazard intensified as cities grew taller and more populous, confounding those who battled it. Fi...
Universitatsgottesdienst und Aufklarungspredigt (Beitrage zur historischen Theologie, #116)
by Konrad Hammann

In Anwendung des Territorialsystems schuf der absolutistische Staat die geistlich-religioese Einrichtung des Universitatsgottesdienstes und verlieh ihr durch die Eingliederung in die Universitat ihr eigentumliches inst...
When Samuel de Champlain founded the colony of Quebec in 1608, he established elaborate gardens where he sowed French seeds he had brought with him and experimented with indigenous plants that he found in nearby fields and forests. Following Champlain's example, fellow colonists nurtured similar gardens through the Saint Lawrence Valley and Great Lakes region. In A Not-So-New World, Christopher Parsons observes how it was that French colonists began to learn about Native environments and claimed...
Beatlemania (Johns Hopkins Introductory Studies in the History of Technology)
by Andre Millard
The fame, talent, and success of the Beatles need no introduction. Nor does the world need another book exploring the band's skill and its influence on music and society in the United States, Britain, and the rest of the world. Andre Millard instead studies the Beatlemania phenomenon from an original perspective - the relationship among the music business, recording technologies, and teens and young adult culture of the era. Millard argues that, despite the Beatles' indisputable skill, they woul...
