Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Synopsis
In the nineteenth century, at the height of colonialism, the British ruled India under a government known as the Raj. British men and women left their homes and traveled to this mysterious, beautiful country-where they attempted to replicate their own society. In this fascinating portrait, Margaret MacMillan examines the hidden lives of the women who supported their husbands' conquests-and in turn supported the Raj, often behind the scenes and out of the history books. Enduring heartbreaking separations from their families, these women had no choice but to adapt to their strange new home, where they were treated with incredible deference by the natives but found little that was familiar. The women of the Raj learned to cope with the harsh Indian climate and ward off endemic diseases; they were forced to make their own entertainment-through games, balls, and theatrics-and quickly learned to abide by the deeply ingrained Anglo-Indian love of hierarchy. Weaving interviews, letters, and memoirs with a stunning selection of illustrations, MacMillan presents a vivid cultural and social history of the daughters, sisters, mothers, and wives of the men at the center of a daring imperialist experiment-and reveals India in all its richness and vitality. "A marvellous book . . . Women of the Raj ] successfully re-creates] a vanished world that continues to hold a fascination long after the sun has set on the British empire." -The Globe and Mail "MacMillan has that essential quality of the historian, a narrative gift." -The Daily Telegraph "MacMillan is a superb writer who can bring history to life." -The Philadelphia Inquirer "Well researched and thoroughly enjoyable." -Evening Standard, Social Theory: Guide for the Perplexed will introduce intro-level college students to the major questions, arguments, thinkers, and texts in social theory from the eighteenth century to the present. It introduces the dominant methodological schools, national traditions, and ideological alignments, although the main stress will be on social theory as a liberal art. Accordingly, the book will focus on these three questions: 1) What holds a society together? And what are the mechanisms and relationships of cohesion? 2) What kind of personalities are produced in society? What is the connection between character and society? 3) What explains social change? >, In the nineteenth century, at the height of colonialism, the British ruled India under a government known as the Raj.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good.
