A clean and unmarked copy apart from a small name and date to front endpaper and age darkening to page edges with complete dustjacket. DeSalle is a curator at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and in 1992 isolated the then oldest known fragment of DNA whilst Lindley is a science editor. Following on the much vaunted Jurassic Park film which combined science with literary license, the authors explore the reality of getting a complete genetic blueprint of a long extinct creature and why a real Jurassic Park would have to be more than the film's 22 square mile preserve, more likely an area as big as the state of Connecticut.

Imprint: London, Thames and Hudson, 1977 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine clean, tight and unmarked copy which has a little light foxing to top edge. Translated from the French by Stanley Baron. 199 pages and 43 illustrations. The book is based on unpublished documents in France and Italy and not only provides new information on the formative years of the cardinal-minister but also deepens understanding of manners and mentalités in a specific period of European history. Mazarin's career in France after 1642 is well known, but his years in papal service - which brought him into contact with Richelieu and led to his permanent move to France - were less appreciated.

Imprint: London, Collins and Harvill Press, 1978 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Very Good + unmarked copy with complete dustjacket. The author had no formal education as her father Francis Macnamara, Irish landowner, poet and friend of Yeats believed that women were here to adorn life and give comfort to men's needs, and she and her two sisters were brought up by their mother, mostly in the New Forest. Apart from a close friendship with the Augustus John circle, their neighbours, they lived in considerable isolation. Nicolette went to the Slade School of Art subsequently marrying Anthony Devas, the painter, and during the war started to write, her mother's Irish-French background influencing her. This book took four years to research and write and is a follow on to her autobiography 'Two Flamboyant Fathers', which spotlights the French forbears alluded to in her autobiography. 18 illustrations and a map. *** NOT EX LIB *** *** NOT BOOK CLUB **** B2B.

Imprint: London, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 2001 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. xv + 190 pages. Cyril Lionel Robert James (1901-1989) will be remembered for as long as cricket is played anywhere in the world. He was an Afro-Trinidadian historian, journalist, socialist theorist and essayist. His works are influential in various theoretical, social, and historiographical contexts. Farrukh Dhondy's biography traces James's long career and many reinventions, and assesses the contribution he made to Marxism, to the development of Black consciousness in Britain, and celebrates his love of cricket. Throughout the book, Dhondy draws on his friendship with James. D4F. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: Fine Stock number: 009361. ISBN: 0297646133

Imprint: London, Darton, Longman & Todd, 1969 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Very Good clean, tight and unmarked copy. 168 pages. The moral standards which most recognise in everyday lives are not those of the traditional Christian moralist ; they are not only less exacting, but they are a good deal vaguer, and often rest on a single axiom such as 'the greatest good of the greatest number' or 'love is all that matters'. Dr. Trueman Dicken's examines the issues with real life examples. **** NOT AN EX LIBRARY COPY **** R7. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Soft Cover. Jacket: No Jacket Stock number: 006956.

Imprint: Lewes, East Sussex, The Book Guild, 2000 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket. A large format volume of 161 pages. 256 photographs. Douglas Dickins links three generations in describing his life of woldwide travel and photography. He pays tribute to a father whose life was spent in the Indian Army and a grandfather who served as a Royal Navy surgeon in feudal Japan and then settled as a barrister in Yokohama. But Dickins has plotted his own routes to other fascinating parts of the world, and he provides penetrating and humorous insights into countries as diverse as the former Soviet Union, Mexico, Cambodia, Bali, Madagascar and Pakistan. What makes this collected travelogue a true treasure is that it is lavishly illustrated with the author's own photographs, which form only a small part of the photo library of the world that he has amassed, and now runs as a commercial concern.

In 1902, Queen's Inn is the youngest and most fashionable of London's Inns of Court. On 28th February, at a Queen's feast, senior barrister Alexander Dauntsey collapses into his soup and dies. He has been poisoned. Soon afterwards, his friend Woodford Stewart is shot dead and Lord Francis Powerscourt is summoned to resolve the matter of the murdered barristers. The investigation takes him into the heart of legal London where the wills of the dead reveal the crimes of the living. It takes him to the heart of a troubled marriage where the lack of children imperils everything. And it takes him to Calne, a mysterious house in the country where the past is boarded up and the treasures of generations lie hidden beneath dustsheets. Powerscourt, with a list of suspects that includes a jelous wife, a mistress fearful of being jilted, a work colleague beaten to the senior role in the Inn and a cuckolded husband who writes books about poisons, pursues the murderer through an increasingly dangerous spiral of events..

A Very Good+ unmarked copy which has a small blind embossed personal stamp to front endpaper, a corner crease to top of one page and a little light foxing to closed edges with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 221 pages. Appendixes by Ellen Henderson and John P. Matthews. The revelation that a long-forgotten novel first published anonymously in 1834 is the work of Benjamin Disraeli and his sister Sarah is an exciting literary event. Newly discovered letters between brother and sister prove without doubt that it was written jointly by them. We do not have to look far for the reason for their secrecy. The vividly described election which forms the centrepiece of the story is clearly based on Disraeli's recent experiences as an unsuccessful candidate in two elections at High Wycombe. The hero of the story, Aubrey Bohun has, like Disraeli, recently returned from mysterious travels in the East, but unlike him has his own castle and an income of 30,000 pounds a year. **** NOT EX LIB **** 14.

Imprint: London, Lorenz Books, 1996 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy in pictorial laminated boards with Fine price clipped dustjacket. The Virgin Mary has been adored and worshipped by Christians for nearly two thousand years as an icon of purity and innocence. Much has been written about her role in the life of Jesus, and even more has been painted. This book holds some of the most beautiful images of Mary, and the momentous events of her life: the Annunciation; the journey to Bethlehem; the humble stable birth of her baby boy; the homage of kings; a terrified flight into Egypt; and, thirty years later, the grief of watching her son die for his people. 11.

A Very Good + unmarked copy with dustjacket which has some wear to top edge, some light marks to front and back and is not price clipped. Translated from the German by John Brownjohn. A powerful, inspiring and heart rending book and a tribute to an ordinary woman of extraordinary courage, and essential to our understanding of the reality of Hitler's Germany. Lilli Jahn was prolific letter writer who studied medicine at Cologne, who wooed and won her protestant and fellow medical student, Ernest Jahn, by letter and in 1926 they married but in 1933, when Hitler took power, everything changed. Her husband was put under pressure from local Nazis to separate and then divorce her, which he eventually did, leaving Lilli and her five children unprotected. She was arrested and sent to Breitenau labour camp, angry, but she could still write to her children and these letters survive. She died at Auschwitz in June 1944. Many photographs and maps and copies of documents. B2D. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: Good Stock number: 003604. ISBN: 0747570469
