Descripción del artículo del vendedor

A 22-volume set stretching in publication date from 1928-1944. Absolutely indispensable for booksellers and historians, students and researchers. The "Dictionary of American Biography" stands as one of the most significant and comprehensive reference works in the field of United States history. It was designed to provide "authoritative accounts of the lives of individuals who made substantial contributions to American life," says the publisher, and "this expansive collection serves as a cornerstone for biographical research." It proclaims: "Spanning from the early colonial period through the early twentieth century, the work includes detailed entries on a diverse array of figures, including statesmen, innovators, educators, artists, and social reformers. Each entry offers a scholarly overview of the subject's life, achievements, and legacy, making it an indispensable resource for historians, genealogists, and students of American culture. The 'Dictionary of American Biography' is celebrated for its meticulous research and its role in preserving the narratives of those who shaped the nation's identity. Whether exploring the lives of well-known founding fathers or discovering the impacts of lesser-known pioneers, readers will find this work to be an unparalleled repository of national heritage and historical insight. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work was reproduced from the original artifact, and remains as true to the original work as possible. Therefore, you may see the original copyright references, library stamps (as most of these works have been housed in our most important libraries around the world), and other notations in the work."

Descripción de la tienda

Member, I.O.B.A. (the Independent On-line Booksellers Association) "Structure" versus "Agency." A phrase that has characterized much social-scientific debate. Does “structure” (the routinized regulations of kinship and marriage, work and reproduction, of race, class and gender) determine history, or is it the “agency” of fully conscious, independently acting, individuals? Structure, Verses, Agency Books isn’t going to solve the debate, but we’ll offer you lots of all three. Versus to verses—we specialize in fine, rare and collectible books, from the fine arts to the social sciences, from poetry to photography, from literature and ethnography to fine bindings and Americana. Structure, Verses, Agency Books…
