Imprint: London, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 2000 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped.xv + 383 pages. 68 illustrations. The book tells the story of the rise and the fall of whole economies and nations, the ascent - and frequent pauses - of mankind as the only economic animal, as producer, consumer and accumulator of wealth. It tells how we have grown from being one species among many on earth, to regard ourselves as the master species. It is a gripping story of triumph and iniquity, posing a stupendous puzzle: How and why did it happen? What were the decisive moments and advances? Why was progress so uneven? Was there a single recipe for progress? Have we finally inherited the earth? Peter Jay reaches beyond the narrow limit of economics for the answers that can explain the wealth of man and the road to riches. D4F. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover.

Imprint: London, Continuum, 2003 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket. xxi + 192 pages. 8 illustrations. In February 1984 David Jenkins, Professor of Theology at Leeds University, received an invitation from the then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, to become Bishop of Durham. His tenancy of the See was to become one of the most controversial in its history. He hit the headlines as the 'unbelieving bishop' after his expositions of the Virgin Birth and the Resurrection. When York Minster burst into flames days after his consecration his notoriety was assured. Enthroned at the time of the bitter miners' strike of 1984 to 1985, the new bishop preached to his Durham community on the Cost of Hope. From then on he was a marked man among the Tory establishment; according to Mrs. Thatcher, a cuckoo in the establishment nest. R1. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover.

A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from some light creases to 6 pages possibly caused in production) with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. First edition, first printing. xxii + 965 pages. 87 illustrations. 9 maps. Map of Wordsworth's London 1791-1795 and Paris 1791-1793 endpapers. In this fascinating account, Professor Kenneth R. Johnston portrays a Wordsworth different in crucial ways from the one that the poet intended us to know. Taking advantage of unprecedented access to government archives in England and France, family papers, school and university records, and intimate letters, he brings little known aspects of Wordsworth's life and character to the fore, revealing for example: that Wordsworth was more sexually experienced than he let on, exploring the poet's contradictory accounts of the dancing girls he met on the shores of Lake Como in 1790 and his detailed knowledge of prostitution in Cambridge; the true story of his affair with Annette Vallon during his year in France 1791/2, the illegitimate child he fathered with her, and the impact of her frank eroticism on his poetry; his clandestine return to France in the fall of 1793, and his continuing contact with Annette Vallon; and, most astonishing of all, Wordsworth's likely spy missions for the newly formed British Secret Service in Germany and at home. Johnston unfolds a life that Byron might have envied, and Wordsworth's attempts to hide his 'juvenile errors' from his contemporaries and history, but they did not disappear, and many of them stare us in the face from the lines of his greatest poetry. **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.5 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE EXTRA SHIPPING COST **** **** NOT EX LIB **** 16.

Illustrated throughout. Much has been written about louis Armstrong, in books, magazines, radio and television shows; perhaps more than any other musician in jazz. Yet, oddly, little is known about him. What was he like offstage? How did he regard his role in music and in society? What was the secret of his long lasting success? What is the explanation of his genius? This book answers these questions, embracing his views on work, creative music-making, politics, marriage, home life, racialism,travelling, criticism, modern jazz and rock, and a dozen other topics. It covers Louis in print, on film, on record and on stage, and tells of his brushes with mobsters in the early 1930's. These recollections have never before appeared in print. **** NOT EX LIB **** ** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.97 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE EXTRA SHIPPING COST **** 24. Book Condition: Very Good.

Imprint: Belfast, Appletree Press, 2005 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. An As New copy in pictorial laminated boards in an As New dustjacket. First Edition, First Printing. 206 pages. An affectionate look at two very different lives lived in tandem but intertwined by country house life on the Ards Peninsula in County Down. Castle Ward (now held by The National Trust) and Ballywhite House stood on opposite sides of Strangford Lough but their owners and those who lived on the estates found that their idyllic lives were changed for ever by the advent of the Second World War. This remarkable biography of Colonel William Brownlow, `The Major', and Agnes White chronicles two very different lives. One was well known in Northern Ireland society, becoming Lord Lieutenant for County Down - a World War II veteran who campaigned for local issues and championed horse-racing and country sports. The other life was lived more quietly behind the scenes as a working mother and wife, chorister and talented amateur artist, but both were the faces of working lives well spent. All the more fascinating for being true... 11. Book Condition: As New. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: As New Stock number: 011091. ISBN: 0862819636

Imprint: Surrey, The Police Federation, 1994 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket which is complete with separate 8 page index. 506 pages. 39 illustrations. Just weeks after the First World War ended, the British establishment was rocked by a sudden police strike in London, when almost every constable and sergeant in the Metropolitan Police refused to go on duty. They were demanding a big pay increase; a widows' pension; the recognition of their illegal trade union, and the reinstatement of comrades who had been sacked for their union activities. The Prime Minister, David Lloyd George, gave in to the the strikers on pay, but within months the Police Union smashed and the Police Federation of England and Wales was established to represent the interests of every policeman below the rank of Superintendent. Strikes were outlawed, and the new organisation was denied the right to collect subscriptions. The book tells the story of those early years, and traces the growth of the body to the present. *** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.06 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST **** B2D.

This volume provides the first comprehensive survey of Art Nouveau porcelain of the Meissen Manufactory: it reveals a number of extensive and largely unknown interrelationships with contemporary artists like Riemerschmid, Van de Velde and others.
