Imprint: Washington, National Geographic, 2003 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a minor indentation to front top edge with dustjacket which has two small repaired closed tears. A large rectangular format volume of 274 pages. Produced to celebrate the Bicentennial of the Louisiana Purchase, distinguished historians Stephen Ambrose and Douglas Brinkley, with acclaimed National Geographic photographer Sam Abell, explore the length of the Mississippi - from its mouth at Delacroix Island, Louisiana, to its source at Lake Itasca, Minnesota. The result is this lavish, entertaining, engrossing chronicle of the 'father of waters' which has shaped the history , the culture, and the very landscape of America. On a map, the Mississippi cuts America neatly in half, coursing from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico and separating East from West. But the Mississippi is in fact the spine of America, knitting the nation together and connecting the heartland to the world. It is a great natural wonder, a priceless treasure bought for a fledgling America by the visionary Thomas Jefferson just 200 years ago.

Imprint: Cape Town, Pambazuka Press, 2011 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy. 199 pages. With his usual verve and sharpness Samir Amin examines the factors that brought about the 2008 financial collapse and explores the systemic crisis of capitalism after two decades of neoliberal globalisation. He lays bare the relationship between dominating oligopolies and the globalisation of the world economy. The current crisis, he argues, is a profound crisis of the capitalist system itself, bringing forward an era in which wars, and perhaps revolutions, will once again shake the world. 51.

Imprint: Salt Lake City, Utah, Deseret, 1961 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Very Good+ clean, tight and unmarked copy in brown cloth boards which has a little light foxing to top edge with VG dustjacket which is not price clipped. Second printing (fisrt was 1960). The book brings into sharp focus the founder, under God the Father and his son Jesus Christ, of the Church of Latter-day Saints. The Church stands or falls by the acceptance or rejection of the Prophet. The Dispensation of the Fulness of Times gains credence or denial by the acceptance or denial of the Prophet's divine calling. Dr. Andrus has deftly brought together material from friend, foe, as well as from acquaintance of the Prophet, and from each of these eyewitnesses comes a tribute. That Brigham Young's dying words were Joseph Smith's name indicates the undying effect of the Seer on those who had linked their cause to his - to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. R1.
