Beschreibung

"The third volume of the Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia situates the region in the wider world. Exploring the immigrants who peopled the Delaware Valley, the faiths they practiced, the environment they shaped, the wars they waged, and the global connections they forged, the entries reveal a city and its environs that has been continually molded by its links to the Atlantic, the Americas, and the Pacific. The volume shows the influence of empires and nations on Greater Philadelphia while also emphasizing the dynamic role the region and its people have played in shaping the modern world"-- Provided by publisher.
