Imprint: New York, Macmillan, 1992 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy. xi + 669 pages. Photo illustrations throughout. Fifth Edition Revised. From its first edition, Gerald Mast's A Short History of the Movies helped focus the field of film studies; it has its own role in film history. Comprehensively conceived, evocatively illustrated and eminently readable, drawing useful generalizations and analyzing key works in depth, it became the foundation for the modern film history course. With each new edition, the book grew longer and more comprehensive. This new edition, extensively edited and revised after Mast's death by Bruce F. Kawin, is significantly longer with more attention paid to women filmmakers and to such pioneers as black filmmaker Oscar Micheaux.

This is the fascinating account of their discovery as well as the touching story of one family's compassion and concern for their survival - a survival in constant jeopardy because of their conspicuous whiteness, their total lack of camouflage. Their are three white lions in the Timbavati Nature Reserve in the Lowveld of the northeastern Transvaal: Temba and Tombi, brother and sister born in 1975; and Phuma, a female born in 1976 to a different lioness. 4.

Imprint: London, Harvill Press, 1964 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Very Good+ to near Fine copy which has a name and date to front endpaper else clean, tight and unmarked. Dustjacket has a few repaired closed tears. 318 pages. Portrait frontispiece. Introduction by Thomas Merton. Sir John McEwen died before this book had reached its final form. Professor J.C. Reid very kindly organized the material and supplied most of the footnotes. François de Salignac de la Mothe Fénelon (1651-1715) Archbishop of Cambrai, has been described by Lord Acton as 'a witness against one century and the precursor of another'. Born in the turbulent 17th century his outlook was humane and tolerant; he detested oppression in all its forms and expressed deep sympathy for the ordinary people whose lives were wrecked by constant wars. He rose rapidly in the Church and became an important figure at the Court of Louis XIV where he directed the education of the heir to the throne. Sir John McEwen's selection gives a well rounded picture of Fénelon both as a great master of the spiritual life and as a wise counsellor on worldly affairs. Moreover, he has transformed the simple lucid style of 'the Swan of Cambrai' into an English of equal charm. **** NOT EX LIB **** R1. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hard Cover.

Tony McGee has been a leading light in the world of fashion and beauty photography. Boxers and ballerinas are not often found this close together. Fighters and dancers. Yet they mirror and shadow each other's every move. They share power, grace, speed, strength, agility, sweat and split second timing. They share no margin for error. They share no gain without pain. Nowhere on earth is this more visible than Havana, Cuba. The Birthplace of of some of the best boxers and ballerinas in the world. In spring, 1999 we stepped behind the scenes to witness the gruelling rehearsals and punishing training sessions of the dedicated young Cubans at the National School of Ballet and the Academy of Boxing in Havana. The boxers practice in a disused cow shed next to their Russian built sleeping quarters, one hour out of the city. The facilities - basic. The spirit - strong. The dedication - inspiring. The combination - overpowering. Ballerinas float like butterflies. The boxers sting like bees. PLEASE NOTE: A HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.17 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST 20A.
