Imprint: Chicago, Haymarket Books, 2007 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. An unmarked copy which has creasing to front card cover and to the first few pages. 245 pages. Foreword by Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis. Translated by Katherine Kohlstedt in cooperation with Federico Moreno. This is the inside story of Argentina’s remarkable movement to create factories run democratically by workers themselves. In 2001, the economy of Argentina collapsed. Unemployment reached a quarter of the workforce. Out of these terrible conditions was born a new movement of workers who decided to take matters into their own hands. They took over control of their workplaces, restarted production, and democratically decided how they would organize their work. 'Occupy, resist, produce' became the watchwords of this vibrant movement. Sin Patrón tells the story of Argentina’s occupied and recovered workplaces. Or rather, it lets the workers themselves tell their stories. Appearing for the first time in English, this book explores ten case studies of recovered companies, featuring interviews with movement leaders that provide a history from the shopfloor - history that is still being made today. 50.

Imprint: London, Continuum, 2005 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with Fine dustjacket. 205 pages. 22 illustrations.Introduction by Matthew d'Ancona. The book is the work of a groundbreaking scholar and a major development in Christian archaeology. The site of the village described in Luke has focused excavators and biblical detectives for more than a milennium and a half. Three suggested sites have been put forward: Emmaus-Nicopolis - which is too far from Jerusalem to fit the story and was a regional capital rather than a village; Emmaus-Aby Gosh, which the crusaders believed to be the true site, but was not called Emmaus in the first century AD; Emmaus El Qubeibe, which was favoured by the Franciscans as the true site after the 15th century, but again was not called Emmaus in the first century AD. Now Thiede has produced his most dramatic find to date, and his work remains highly controversial and will cause a storm in the archaeological world when it is disclosed. On 14 December 2004 Thiede died suddenly at his home in Germany, aged 52. R1. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: Fine Stock number: 008095. ISBN: 0826467970

Imprint: New York, Atria, 2008 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket (Fine apart from the UK price on the barcode at rear has been crossed out). First edition, First printing. xxiv + 232 pages. 29 illustrations. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is an extraordinary example of a life dedicated to peace, non-violence, and unity. The book explores why he has earned the world's love and respect, and how restoring Tibet's autonomy within China is not only possible, but also highly probable. Since the illegal Chinese invasion of Tibet in the 1950's, Tibetans have seen their religion, language, and culture repressed, their ecosystem compromised, and systematic oppression and violence against anyone who professes loyalty to the Dalai Lama. Despite all this, the Dalai Lama has consistently been a voice for peace, offering a Middle-Way approach that has garnered accolades from the Nobel Peace Prize to the US Congessional Gold Medal. Robert Thurman details this approach in five steps that the Chinese leadership can easily accomplish by granting Tibet true autonomy within China, mending relations with the Dalai Lama, and dedicating the Tibetan Plateau as the world's largest environmental preserve. 4.
