Soft cover. Zustand: New. No Jacket. 3rd Edition. History of Spirit Lake Massacre! - Lorenzo Porter Lee. As indicated by the title, this event caused quite a sensation. The Gardiner family had moved from Seneca, New York, to the lovely little settlement of Spirit Lake on the Iowa frontier. Local Indians, apparently feeling deprived of provisions, descended upon the settlement, killing the men and children, and capturing fourteen-year-old Abigail and three other women. She endured a terrifying ordeal of brutality and hardship on her six-week journey to the Sioux village where she was sold to another tribe, who in turn took her to Minnesota for ransom. Lorenzo Porter Lee had just arrived in St. Paul at the time fourteen-year-old Abbie Gardiner was delivered by the Indians to Governor Samuel Medary of the Territory of Minnesota. Colonel Lee was commissioned by Governor Medary to accompany Abbie to Fort Dodge with the hope of finding her sister, Eliza. It was while he was with Abbie on this trip that Colonel Lee learned and set down many of the lurid details she related to him. A classic captivity account. (1857, 2005), 2011, 5½x8½, paper, 50 pp. [101-L3405].…

Zustand: New. Idioma/Language: Español. En este volumen son las protagonistas de las últimas películas Disney las que nos guían en un diálogo alrededor del mundo. El objetivo ha sido comprobar, tras un análisis contrastivo de las películas originales y sus traducciones a diferentes lenguas y culturas, si los estereotipos femeninos de género por los que la compañía Disney ha sido tan criticada, persisten o no. La evolución de dichos estereotipos es una certeza, casi una revolución, pero aún queda un largo camino por recorrer. In this first volume of the collection Tibón, the female characters of the most recent Disney films guide us in this dialogue around the world. The aim of the work, after an analysis of the original films and their translations into different languages and cultures, has been to verify whether gender stereotypes, for which Disney films are widely criticised, persist. Although the evolution of gender stereotypes is a certainty, almost a revolution, there is still a long way to go. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The lives on view in Nervous Dancer are complex and precarious. Speaking their familial idioms in tones and cadences determined well before they ever appeared in these stories, Carol Lee Lorenzo's characters surge into moments of change for reasons initially not apparent. In the quirky, hard-edged ways in which they stumble, beg, come of age, fall apart, and reunite, they reveal no simple notions about life. The way women and children see men is often the focus of these stories, and female voices are the most numerous in Nervous Dancer. Singularity of character can be found in anyone, however, such as the nameless father in 'Unconfirmed Invitations,' whose guilt over his drinking and marital infidelities leads to a bizarre hunter-gatherer compulsion. Lorenzo's women are often mothers, like LuAnn Wilson Hunter in 'Something Almost Invisible,' who says of herself and her son that they are 'divorced from everything, we are all living in slow motion, not at home anywhere.' Others find themselves in double binds with generational friction compounding their troubles, such as Eulene in 'Nervous Dancer,' who informs her mother, 'Just because I'm in your house doesn't mean I've lost the right to fight with my husband.' Lorenzo says that her characters are 'in the throes of love with its impurities or as sterling as it comes, and sometimes they trip the spring and the hard face of hate appears.' She believes that 'it's not always the outside force, someone else's doing, that changes things or brings confrontation. It's our stranger within--our unspoken self that frightens and engages us. That's what story allows us to see.'.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This volume is CASED UPSIDEDOWN down and because it is a large format heavy volume will require additional postage. "The second volume of the History of Humanity covers the first two and a half thousand years of recorded history, from the start of the Bronze Age some five thousand years ago to the beginnings of the Iron Age. It is divided into two main sections. The first is thematic, covering the trends and developments that characterize the period covered. The second is geographical, studying the progress of peoples around the world; this section is split into two parts, one covering those regions for which written sources are available, the other covering those for which only archaeological and anthropological sources are available. Written by a team of over sixty experts from around the world, this volume has a comprehensive bibliography, a detailed index for ease of reference, and is illustrated with black and white plates, figures and maps."

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This open access textbook introduces the emerging field of Development Engineering and its constituent theories, methods, and applications. It is both a teaching text for students and a resource for researchers and practitioners engaged in the design and scaling of technologies for low-resource communities. The scope is broad, ranging from the development of mobile applications for low-literacy users to hardware and software solutions for providing electricity and water in remote settings. It is also highly interdisciplinary, drawing on methods and theory from the social sciences as well as engineering and the natural sciences.The opening section reviews the history of 'technology-for-development' research, and presents a framework that formalizes this body of work and begins its transformation into an academic discipline. It identifies common challenges in development and explains the book's iterative approach of 'innovation, implementation, evaluation, adaptation.' Each ofthe next six thematic sections focuses on a different sector: energy and environment; market performance; education and labor; water, sanitation and health; digital governance; and connectivity. These thematic sections contain case studies from landmark research that directly integrates engineering innovation with technically rigorous methods from the social sciences. Each case study describes the design, evaluation, and/or scaling of a technology in the field and follows a single form, with common elements and discussion questions, to create continuity and pedagogical consistency. Together, they highlight successful solutions to development challenges, while also analyzing the rarely discussed failures. The book concludes by reiterating the core principles of development engineering illustrated in the case studies, highlighting common challenges that engineers and scientists will face in designing technology interventions that sustainably accelerate economic development.Development Engineering provides, for the first time, a coherent intellectual framework for attacking the challenges of poverty and global climate change through the design of better technologies. It offers the rigorous discipline needed to channel the energy of a new generation of scientists and engineers toward advancing social justice and improved living conditions in low-resource communities around the world.…
