In this vivid, visually gripping account of modern warfare, award-winning author Michael Sweeney takes us onto battlefields from the Crimea to Kuwait, to chronicle 150 years of war, often in the words of those who have seen it firsthand. From the mid 19th century - when the rise of the telegraph, mass-market newspapers, and photography combined to create a new kind of journalist - to the real-time televised wars of today, he presents a concise history of world conflict and introduces us to legendary correspondents and photographers like Richard Harding Davis, Ernie Pyle, Margaret Bourke-White, Edward Morrow, Neil Sheehan, Larry Burrows, Morley Safer, and many more. Far more than another military history, it is also a telling look at how wartime news has shaped public opinion.

In this important study Professor Tapié shows how the style called Baroque was born, how it developed from the classical architecture of the Renaissance and flowered in Italy, under the genius of Bernini and Borromini. He then traces its diffusion throughout Europe. laying stress on such significant events as Bernini's visit to Paris in 1665. The apparent incompatibility between the classical genius of the French and the audacities of Baroque has given rise to misapprehensions about the nature of French Baroque, and on this Professor Tapié is particularly illuminating. To the original French edition he has added a new chapter on England, showing how Inigo Jones, Wren, Vanbrugh and Hawksmoor interpreted the new style. Concluding this account is a glance at the Baroque style in Russia, Mexico and South America. **** NOT EX LIB **** **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.26 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST ****. 23.

Striking differences have been noted between North America and Europe relating to the hyperactive or overactive child and to date there has been a serious lack of any pertinent research data. This volume from the eminent Maudsley team discusses overactivity and attention deficit and considers how much overactivity and attention deficit in childhood can be assigned a pathological basis and how much represents normal variation. The authors then move on to consider treatment. **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF OVER 0.85 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE EXTRA SHIPPING COST **** 22. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hard Cover.

Imprint: London, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1998 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine complete dustjacket. Esmond Rothermere assumed control of the great newspaper empire founded by Lord Northcliffe and his brother, the first Viscount Rothermere, in 1940, he was one of the richest men in England, handsome, witty, intelligent, powerful and notoriously attractive to women. He was reluctant to take on the running of Associated newspapers and it's flagship, the Daily Mail, and throughout his life he regarded this as duty rather than privilege. Leading an active if unsatisfying life of philandering, Esmond failed in his first two marriages, his second wife Anne O'Neill, nee Charteris ran off with one of his best friends, the novelist Ian Fleming. The book evokes the changing values of a nation coming to terms with the aftermath of World War II, the transitional 1950's and the permissive 1960's and is also a truthful and intriguing assessment of the price for power paid by a man who did not want it. 37 photographs, D4B.

Imprint: London, The Travel Book Club, 1956 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 213 pages. 8 Illustrations. Haroun Tazieff went with Captain Jacques Cousteau to explore the Red Sea bed, and his descriptions of under-sea are among the best ever written. He climbed the volcano Nyiragongo, and spent a night at the bottom of its crater, alternatively scorched and frozen, observing the lake of molten lava, bright red under a black skin, bubbling and heaving beside him. He tested at Lake Tanganyika a theory of his that crocodiles are cowards, and will not attack a man under water; and he endured a killing journey across deserts and burning rocks to Lake Rudolf. But almost the greatest interest in his book lies in incidents by the way: land crabs encircling and advancing upon their quarry (Tazieff himself); the attempt of three of Cousteau's men to penetrate into Arabia, and how the local Emir, full of charm and knavery, kept them tightly under his thumb; and the voyage out in Calypso, with her unhandy crew of chemist, engineer, physicist, biologist, geologist, diver, doctor, parachutist and cine-photographer. 3.

In the hours after Byrd's body was found in pieces on Huff Creek Road, Jasper's community tried not to believe that one of their own had committed such a terrible crime, but within 24 hours Sheriff Billy Rowles had arrested the trio and charged them with murder.
