Imprint: San Francisco, Working Assets Publishing, 2006 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy. 128 pages. Glenn Greenwald, a constitutional law attorney, journalist and blogger, was not a political man. Not liberal, not conservative. To his thinking, the United States was generally on track and would remain forever centrist. But that has changed. A creeping extremism has taken hold of the federal government and national character. This extremism is neither conservative nor liberal in nature, but is instead driven by the Bush administration's radical theories of presidential power. How Would a Patriot Act? is one man's story of being galvanized into action to defend the American Constitution, and a penetrating analysis of what is at stake. 50. Book Condition: Fine.

The story of an extraordinary friendship for over 20 years - from Robben Island, to Victor Verster jail - James Gregory was Nelson Mandela's jailer. Yet, when the time came at last for Mandela's release they embraced as close friends, and Gregory was a personal guest at Mandela's inauguration ceremony. As Mandela and Gregory's friendship grew over the years, they became each other's confidant and source of comfort. Gregory acted as go-between for Mandela's wife Winnie and their children, and Mandela became a godfather to Gregory's daughter. On several occasions, Gregory even smuggled Mandela out of the prison compound in the boot of his car. Party to Mandela's thoughts, fears and desires for over 20 years, no one knows Mandela quite like Gregory - revealing the foe who became a friend, the prisoner who became the President.

When Henry Tudor picked up the crown of England from the mud of Bosworth Field he knew he would have to marry the princess of the rival house - Elizabeth of York - in an effort to unify a country divided by war for nearly two decades.

The new Queen Elizabeth has to decide if she can stand by a king whose support and courage are crumbling before her eyes.

Imprint: Oxford, Basil Blackwell, 1989 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy. 276 pages. For much of human history mankind has been undernourished, and for most of that time this was considered inevitable: there wasn't enough to go round. The agricultural and industrial revolutions in the 18th and 19th centuries gave hope that malnutritionmight vanish from Europe. But it was not until the Second World War that the Western nations began to concern themselves with the food problem and to look forward to a world free of hunger. Yet in 1980 some estimates put numbers of those still hungry as high as 1500 million. What went wrong? Professor Grigg searches for the causes among the mass of factors, political, demographic, economic and social, agricultural, climatic, giving separate attention to the major problem areas - Africa, Latin America and Asia. **** NOT EX LIB **** 51.

Madame de Maintenon became governess to the six bastard children of King Louis XIV and Madame de Montespan, who were being reared in the greatest secrecy. At first Louis disliked the prim, intellectual governess, but when Madame de Montespan's obstreperous temper wearied him, and after her downfall following the notorious Poisons Affair, he became more and more attracted to her. Louis wished to make her his mistress, but Francoise politely declined. Then, when his queen, Marie-Therese, died, he made the sensational decision to marry Francoise morganatically. She was then 48, he 45. And except for one serious quarrel over Quietism, their marriage lasted with complete success for more than 30 years. 16. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover.
