Imprint: London, Collins, 1979 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with VG+ dustjacket which has fading to spine. x + 196 pages. Translated by Duane A. Priebe. A work of notable scholarship which is more than simply a compilation of material on theology, it is an expression of Ebeling's discovery of a fundamental orientation to theological study that emphasizes the connections between the various discipines. Ebeling adopts a sequential approach which begins with the New Testament, moves to the Old Testament, religion and philosophy, followed by Church history, the natural sciences, humanities, and the social sciences. Noting the contemporary crisis in orientation and method provoked by excessive fragmentation of the disciplines, he seeks connectives and relationships which provide clues to a new approach to theological study.

Imprint: London, Stainer and Bell, 1979 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. SIGNED BY MARY EDE AND HER HUSBAND JOHN 'WITH BEST WISHES' , 30/7/88 to front endpaper. A near Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket. 218 pages. 94 illustrations. Dr. Ede explores the complex interaction of political, religious and artistic changes in England following the Revolution in 1688. The book examines the European influence in not only the higher arts but also on the humbler domestic side; the country cottage as well as the stately mansion-; the broadside ballad and popular woodcut as well as the opera and court portraiture. During this period the Crown lost its predominance in patronage to both Parliament and the aristocracy; publishing and music came increasingly under the influence of an assertive middle class. There were no dramatic artistic changes but the foundations of later 18th century achievements were laid, often under the influence of ideas or craftsmen newly arrived from the Continent. B2E.

Photograph and map illustrations. The U-boat, the submarine of the German Navy, was a hidden predator, which would steal up on its prey out of sight beneath the waves. The tactics were much like the wild wolf of the forest, and just as the wolf was even more effective in groups, cornering its quarry before catching it, so Admiral Karl Dönitz chose to use the grey hulls of his submarines in packs - 'wolf packs'. In this empathetic and deeply researched volume, the author delves beneath the myths and legends of submarinal action and convoy protection to discuss the realities of wolf pack deployment. 13.

Imprint: London, Robinson, 2020 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. An As New unmarked copy with an As New dustjacket which is not price clipped. First Edition, First Printing. 302 pages. The son of a Hull butcher, Neville 'Timber' Wood volunteered in 1939, at the age of eighteen, to join the British Army's Tyne-Tees 50th Northumbrian Division. Timber was in many ways an entirely unremarkable soldier - he won no medals for gallantry, though he exhibited conspicuous bravery day after day, for years, and he rose no higher through the ranks than Lance Corporal. Nonetheless, he had an extraordinary war. As a driver for the Royal Army Service Corps, Timber's job was to get ammunition and high explosives to the front line. It was a job with a high casualty rate, sometimes higher than front-line troops. The 50th Division was the principal fighting division of the British Army in the Second World War. Four men of the 50th were awarded Victoria Crosses, more than any other division. It was last off the beach at Dunkirk and the first back on it on D-Day; the division was at the heart of El Alamein and the major actions which followed; it took part in the invasion of Sicily and fought all the way from Normandy to Germany, where Timber saw first-hand the horrors of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Timber's story is pretty much the British war experience from the point of view of an ordinary soldier. He was even captured, saw Rommel and escaped. This book, written by his son Mike, is based on Neville's extensive wartime diaries and original documents he retained from the war as well as on long conversations between the two of them when Mike transcribed the diaries as a gift for his father in 2006. Timber died in 2015. D4A. Book Condition: As New. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: As New Stock number: 011526. ISBN: 9781472144591

Imprint: London, Aurum Press, 2002 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 245 pages. Illustrations in the text. First UK edition, First printing. In 1996 a slim Holocaust memoir entitled Fragments was published in English, to universal acclaim. Hailed as a 'small masterpiece', awarded several prestigious literary prizes, it told a searing story: of a Jewish boy, born in Latvia, transported first to Poland's Majdanek concentration camp, then to Auschwitz, and the horrifying scenes of death and suffering he witnessed. But within two years its author, Binjamin Wilkomirski, had been unmasked as the Swiss-born adopted son of middle-class parents, raised in Zurich, who claimed to have unearthed his repressed Holocaust memories through therapy. Soon comprehensive doubt had been shed on the veracity of his memoir, and eventually the book was withdrawn by its publishers. Blake Eskin has a unique authority to write the strange story of the man who posed as a Holocaust survivor. According to his mother, their ancestors shared the name Wilkomirski, and when Binjamin first came to New York on the triumphant tour of a celebrated author, he not only came to visit Eskin's family but also suggested the possibility of kinship with them. The book tells how his assumed identity was gradually unveiled, and goes in search of the enigmatic and unfathomable individual who still calls himself Binjamin Wilkomirski. C3A.
