A Fine unmarked copy which has an inscription to front endpaper with Fine dustjacket which is price clipped. xi + 422 pages. 17 illustrations. INCLUDED also is a MEMORIAL booklet of Michael Ramsey and his wife Joan. Professor Chadwick's masterly account of Archbishop Ramsey's life and works, written at the invitation of Ramsey, from Ramsey's personal materials and free access to Lambeth Palace archives.

Abroad he was a stern opponent of apartheid, whether in South Africa or in Rhodesia. In Parliament he helped to abolish capital punishment and to secure better treatment for homosexuals. In Christendom at large he was leader in a new spirit of brotherhood among the churches, and benefited from the new ecumenical spirit in the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox churches of Eastern Europe. He comes out of the book as a person of much prayer and rock-like conviction, who in an age of shaken opinion was an anchor of faith and hope among a pessimistic generation.

Imprint: London, Collins, 1965 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy in green cloth boards with dustjacket which has some creasing to top and is complete. Translated from the French by J.M. Cohen. The book contains a series of essays in which the author builds up his theory of the origins of man and his relationship with the great families of Hominids, among which man arose, but which do not belong in his line of ancestry. Teilhard himself took part in the discovery of Pekin Man (Sinanthropus) and twice visited the sites in South Africa from which the other main branch of Hominids, Australopithecus, was being evacuated. As the book proceeds from the earlier essays to the late, one sees a remarkable confirmation of Teilhard's theories, in the form of later discoveries which fitted into his scheme. Being first and foremost a palaeontologist, he writes most excitingly and graphically, and here the philosopher is at the same time an excavator and eye-witness. **** NOT EX LIB **** A1B.

Imprint: Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania Press, 1984 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a bump to spine head) with dustjacket which has a small tear to back.vii + 190 pages. The book explores major theoretical issues in the study of an individual life through its focus on Jean-Paul Sartre. Sartre's quest for an 'existential psychoanalysis' led him to develop what he called 'true novels' in the landmark studies of Flaubert and others. In clarifying Sartre's philosophical ideas in relation to the analysis of the self, Charmé examines the attraction/repulsion of Freudian concepts and explores parallels in Erikson's ego psychology. Certain 'mythic' qualities in religious biography and autobiography are seen as central to Sartre, who presents lives - including his own - as normative models. 24. Book Condition: Near Fine.

The Bishop of Rochester in the foreword to his Second Episcopal Charge to the Diocese writes: ' I had become aware of the general lack of doctrinal knowledge among Church-people.'

Originally written for clergy and churchwardens of the diocese, this practical handbook in its five chapters deals simply and clearly with Christian doctrine so that the churchman may be able to give reason when questioned on his belief.

Imprint: New York, Nation, 2005 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket. The author is one of the Arab world's leading journalists, political editor of the London based Al Hayat and of the Arabic TV channel LBC, and has covered Middle Eastern conflicts as a commentator for Arab and Western media, including CNN, BBC and Al Jazeera. When members of the Iraqi resistance first told their story to the world, they told it to Zaki Chehab with his extraordinary access to many leading players in the Middle East. In fact, whilst Western reporters report from Iraq either from the safety of their hotel or embedded with the US military, Chehab goes into the Sunni Triangle and other danger zones in Iraq. The book provides the first authoritative portrait of the insurgency in all its complexity, and he is able to show how the resistance fighters really view the elections, the Iranians, Saddam Hussein, Al Qaeda, and their new American occupiers.

The United States is in the process of staking out not just the globe, but the last unarmed spot in our neighbourhood - the skies - as a militarized sphere of influence. Our earth and its skies are, for the Bush administration, the final frontiers of imperial control. In this book Noam Chomsky explains how we came to this moment, what kind of peril we find ourselves in, and why our rulers are willing to jeopardize the future of our species. Chomsky dissects America's quest for global supremacy, tracking the US government's aggressive pursuit of policies intended to achieve 'full spectrum dominance' at any cost. 13. Book Condition: Fine.

Imprint: London, Pluto Press, 1997 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy. 343 pages. In this widely acclaimed study of global politics, Noam Chomsky offers a devastating critique of conventional definitions of the 'new world order'. It is, he argues, nothing more than an ingenious piece of 'historical engineering', wherby the pretexts for the Cold War - nuclear threat, Eastern Bloc menace - have been deftly replaced by a new set of convenient justifications for a Western agenda that remains largely unchanged. He draws together a wealth of historical detail in support of his argument, demonstrating with awesome clarity that the basic rules of world order remain as they always hve been. The book has been updated to include coverage of the latest developments in the Middle East peace process. 3. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Soft Cover. Jacket: No Jacket Stock number: 009329.

Imprint: London, Jonathan Cape, 1984 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with VG dustjacket which is not price clipped. xii + 172 pages. 20 illustrations. 28 plates. This richly entertaining book celebrates the 50th anniversary, in 1984, of the founding of Glyndebourne Festival Opera. It is a splendid mixture of historical survey, personal anecdote, criticism and comedy. Above all, emanating from every piece is a genuine affection for Glyndebourne and its founder John Christie, admiration for its style and musical standards, gratitude for opportunities given to artists, conductors, designers and audiences, for musical experiences and pleasure, and sheer delight - a recurring refrain of the book - in the atmosphere of the place. EMI Records advertisement for Glyndebourne Festival Opera 1934-1959 - memories of the first 25 years, HMV Record - is loosely inserted. 12. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover.

Imprint: Tucson, Arizona, Harbinger House, 1988 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with dustjacket which has two closed tears to back and some creasing. In this personal narrative of his experiences from',the land on the border' in northern Mexico, Claremon brings out the Indian lore, complex tribal practices and the principles of holistic healing. It is also the hypnotic love story of J.P., an American hydrologist who locates water through his natural aversion to it, and Tsari, an Indian curandera, a healer. The rational J.P. is struggling to learn Indian lifeways and spirit ways, to understand the rules governing Tsari's mysterious land of mesas, barrancas and arroyos. For this is an inner world in which both men and women travel unseen to 'the other side' where their lives, dreams and memories can be touched and healed. The original version of Borderland was published in 1975. 21. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: Very Good Stock number: 002533. ISBN: 0943173175
