Internally there is some light foxing to closed edges else very clean, tight and unmarked. A Very Good+ copy. Dustjacket is VG+ and is not price clipped. 27 outstanding illustrations. In 1959, after November gales had lashed the coasts of Devon, H.G. Hurrell, the naturalist whose home is on the fringe of Dartmoor, was called to the Yealm estuary where a stranded baby seal was at the point of death. It had been wounded in the storms, had refused all attempts to feed it, and had reached the final stages of weakness and exhaustion. The cub's plight seemed hopeless, but with Hurrell was a son who was a doctor and who decided to attempt artificial feeding along the lines of human medical techniques. How Hurell and his family nursed the baby female seal back to health is an outstanding animal rescue story, for this young Atlantic seal proved to be a creature of amazing intelligence, who came to understand a wide range of spoken words, and even eventually, unbelievable as it may seem, to read some of them..

Imprint: London, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 2015 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A New unread copy in new dustjacket. xxvi + 341 pages. 13 illustrations. First Edition, First Printing. One morning in May 1671, a man disguised as a parson daringly attempted to seize the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London. Somehow, he managed to escape with the crown and regalia before being apprehended. And yet he was not executed for treason. Instead, the king granted him a generous income and he became a familiar strutting figure in the royal court's glittering state apartments. The man was Colonel Thomas Blood, a notorious turncoat and fugitive from justice. Nicknamed the 'Father of all Treasons', he had been involved in an ttempted coup d'état in Ireland as well as countless plots to assassinate Charles II. In an age when intrigue ruled the coffee houses, the restored Stuart King decided that Blood was more useful to him alive than dead. But while serving as his personal spy, Blood was conspiring with his enemies - and hiring himself out as a freelance agent for those seeking to further their own political ambition. L.

She shows him as a penniless sailor, attacking the world-power of Spain with his single ship; a rough soldier from 'Commando' campaigns, flashing up to become Queen Elizabeth's intimate friend and 'oracle' and the most superb of her courtiers.

The book is not a conventional sequel to Christopher and His Kind but it begins in 1939 when Christopher Isherwood arrived in America where he was to meet Swami Prabhhavananda, the head of a Centre in Hollywood for the study and practice of Hindu philosophy. The sometimes funny, always moving account of the Hindu monk who became Isherwood's spiritual mentor for over thirty years until his death in 1976 offers a loving but in no way pietistic account of their friendship. During the 1940's Isherwood lived for a time at the Centre and contemplated becoming a monk, a step much encouraged by the Swami, with whom he was translating the Gita at the time. C3A.

A Very Good+ unmarked copy which has some very small indentations to front and a bump to lower front corner and a line of indentation and minor marks to back but internally Fine. A very large format volume of 240 pages. Censorship is a disturbing concept, usually referring to the act of someone in authority who prevents us reading certain words or seeing certain images. By implication, it can also mean we are persuaded to accept phoney material as genuine or consider a distorted context as the supposed truth. Traditionally censorship is associated with scheming politicians and government officials who plot to hide crucial facts from a gullible public. Years later, when historians and journalists pore over newly released official documents, we discover another version of history. This book investigates some of the most glaring examples of photographs which have been banned, doctored, manipulated or suppressed in order to dupe the viewer. **** NOT EX LIB **** PLEASE NOTE: A HEAVY VOLUME OF 2.00 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST 1.

Imprint: London, John Curtis, 1994 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. PRESENTATION COPY to David Somerset (Chief Cashier of the Bank of England 1980-1988) from Sir Roger Gibbs, Chairman of the Wellcome Trust, October 1994. A Fine unmarked copy, apart from the presentation inscription, in green cloth boards with near Fine dustjacket. First edition, first printing. xix + 422 pages. 109 illustrations. The Wellcome Trust is the largest and most significant benefactor ever to British medical research, yet few people, even those aware of the international pharmaceutical company that bears his name, know anything about its founder, Henry Solomon Wellcome. His life was an extraordinary story of achievement and disappointment, triumph and sadness, that began in deep poverty in northern Wisconsin in 1853 and ended in his death in London in 1936 as a celebrated and greatly honoured millionaire. His outstanding achievement, with his equally yound partner, the mercurial Silas Burroughs, was to finance and build research laboratories in Britain that made the fame and fortune of Burroughs Wellcome. This biography was commissioned at the request of the Wellcome Trust and is the first to tell the remarkable story of Wellcome's life. **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.96 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST **** 16.

Imprint: New York, Charles Scribner's Sons, 1939 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy with VG dustjacket. xvi + 632 pages. The Old Testament is the greatest storehouse of biography ever written, yet its very wealth in vigorous personalities has, to a degree, obscured the story of these mighty characters. Their inspiring histories have been so intertwined with the events of their day that, except to the most careful reader, the real individual has not been entirely clear. In this volume Professor James presents the immortal personalities of the Old Testament as leaders in the thought and action of Israel, with each one standing out in full view against the background of the time. Such men as Moses, David, Hosea, Nehemiah, such women as Deborah are the subjects of these biographies, each one built on a carefully explored and firmly laid foundation. **** NOT EX LIB **** PLEASE NOTE: A HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.065 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST R3.
