Voices Of Antebellum America - Contemporary Accounts Of Daily Life

~~113,29€~~ 101,96€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Uncover the history of Antebellum America through the voices of those who lived it. This book analyzes more than 70 primary documents from the antebellum period of American history, shedding light on various aspects of life in the USA from 1815 to 1861. From these document excerpts, organized into 40 topical sections, readers will come away with a first-hand account of what life was like in a period characterized by growing political, social and economic tensions, through exploring documents relating to society, economy, religion, foreign relations, war, literature and more. Documents are supported by commentary, biographical profiles, a chronology and glossary of terms. Connecting the glory of the American Revolution/Early National era with the tragedy of the Civil War, the antebellum period often receives less attention in history books than either of these major events. Yet to understand antebellum America is to gain a fuller picture of American history and the significant events that followed it, especially many political and social developments of the early twenty-first century. This is a key resource for students wanting to delve into the history of this period, aided by an expert guide.

Voices Of The Renaissance - Contemporary Accounts Of Daily Life

107,33€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The documents in this collection trace the course of the Renaissance in Italy and northern Europe, describing the emergence of a vibrant and varied intellectual and artistic culture in various states, cities, and kingdoms. Voices of the Renaissance: Contemporary Accounts of Daily Life contains excerpts from 52 different documents relating to the period of European history known as the Renaissance. In the 14th century, the rise of humanism, a philosophy based on the study of the languages, literature, and material culture of ancient Greece and Rome, led to a sense of revitalization and renewal among the city-states of northern Italy. The political development and economic expansion of those cities provided the ideal conditions for humanist scholarship to flourish. This period of literary, artistic, architectural, and cultural flowering is today known as the Renaissance, a term taken from the French and meaning "rebirth." The Italian Renaissance reached its height in the 15th and early 16th centuries. In the 1490s, the ideals of the Italian Renaissance spread north of the Alps and gave rise to a series of national cultural rebirths in various states. In many places, this Northern Renaissance extended into the 17th century, when war and religious discord put an end to the Renaissance era.

107,33€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The War in Afghanistan was the longest military conflict in American history. In a diverse collection of primary documents, this book explores the evolving legacy of the war and its impact on the countless lives it changed forever. Following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the United States spent almost 20 years at war in Afghanistan until it officially withdrew its military forces in August 2021. As the longest war in American history, the War in Afghanistan cost trillions of dollars to sustain and claimed the lives of thousands of American soldiers and many more Afghan civilians. This book tells the story of the war from its varied perspectives, including documents from American and Afghan politicians, high-ranking military officers, and diplomats. The topics covered are even more diverse, ranging from the building and training of security forces and the use drones in modern warfare to the importance of education and the role of women in combat. What the editors lead readers to understand is that the peoples referred to as Afghans have little in common beyond the land itself-a simple, basic, and ultimately ignored reality at the heart of the U.S. invasion, occupation, and frustration in Afghanistan.

 The Iraq War (2003-2011) was the most significant conflict in the early 21st century. This book examines the ongoing importance of this war for the Middle East and the world today through first-person accounts of the war and primary source documents. Voices of the Iraq War: Contemporary Accounts of Daily Life illuminates the complex and poorly reported realities of the conflict that those without direct experience cannot possibly fathom, presenting detailed personal accounts of what the conflict in Iraq was like across multiple disciplines and through a variety of viewpoints. The accounts are based on interviews with American, Iraqi-American, and British officers who deployed and fought throughout the country of Iraq. The book begins with the story of an Iraqi boy who flees Iraq with his family after Desert Storm and then returns to Iraq as a translator to assist U.S. forces nearly 16 years later. The book is filled with personal accounts of combat and training as well as other real-world experiences that define what the Iraq War meant to thousands of U.S. and allied service members. These personal accounts are supported with national level policy speeches and official statements that help readers put the individual stories and events in national, regional, and global perspective. The book concludes by examining the impact of this war on thousands of young men and women that will last for decades to come.
