The most astounding part of her story is that, having endured terror, humiliation, rape and split-second escape from death, she would , after a few months back home in England, choose to return to resume her work in the Congo. Today, the central station she founded, with its flying doctors, teaching school and operating theatres, is unique in Africa. **** NOT EX LIB **** 21. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hard Cover.

In this fascinating, mind-opening book, Professor Burling not only presents the most convincing account of the origins of language yet published: he sheds new light on how language affects the way we think, behave, and relate to each other. He gives us a deeper understanding of the nature of language itself. Tracing language back to its earliest origins among our distant ape-like forbears several million years ago, he charts its growth to the time of our recent human ancestors. He offers a new account of the route by which we acquired our defining characteristic and explores the nature of language as it developed throughout the course of our evolution. **** NOT EX LIB **** L.

With his wife, the acclaimed actress Stella Pinero, away on a movie shoot in Scotland, Chief Commander John Coffin is at a bit of a loose end with just the cat and dog for company. But one morning, as he checks through the mail for his wife, he gets a rather unpleasant surprise: horrific pictures of badly abused children sent anonymously to Stella. Rather than worry his wife, he vows to track down the culprit and calls in a trusted colleague, DCI Phoebe Astley, to assist him in his inquiries. As they investigate Stella's stalker, another serious problem faces the detectives of the Second City of London. Several young girls have been murdered in Spinnergate with distinct and brutal similarities between the cases. Is there a serial killer on the loose? What is the connection to Stella Pinero, or is it all coincidence? As the investigations get closer to each other in focus, Coffin starts to feel that there are very personal motives at play as his wife's tormentor racks up the tension. When excavations near St Luke's unearth a chilling secret buried in the grounds of Stella's theater, John feels the net closing around those nearest to him and must act quickly or risk losing all that he holds dear.

Imprint: Co. Down, Age-Old Books, 2001 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy. iv + 240 pages. As Christianity enters its third millennium, the Church is experiencing what many would regard as its greatest challenge since the Reformation. In the face of this challenge there is a crying need for a spiritual renewal within the Church, something which in truth can only happen through a rediscovery and a reassertion of the spiritual roots of this great religion. This book investigates both the spiritual genesis of Christianity, as well as outlining the Church's failure to incorporate correctly the consequences or implications of this genesis, at the centre of which lay the Holy Spirit of Sophia. For the truth of the matter is that through fear and ignorance, any real attempt at gaining knowledge of this Spirit was abandoned; and eventually, at the Universal Church's 4th General Council held in Constantinople in 869 A.D., the existence of this Spirit was even dogmatically denied. **** NOT AN EX LIBRARY COPY **** R6.

From housewife to billionaire chief executive, Martha Stewart is not just the businesswoman with the midas touch, she is also a lightning rod for many of the most important and controversial social and economic issues of post World War II American life. The book examines her personality, the story of a little girl who never got over what life never gave her and wound up inventing for herself a past that she had never known, a hologram of life so powerful that it not only convinced her personally but mesmerised the world, and in time she became the richest self-made businesswoman in America.

A Very Good+ clean, tight and unmarked copy apart from a small name to inside cover. xii + 102 pages. 8 illustrations. Modern discovery has shed a brilliant light upon the Bible, and of the Old Testament in particular. For 18 centuries the extant records of the ancient world had been searched for anything that which might throw additional light on the Bible story, but apart from meagre reference by Greek historians, outside of their own sacred writings, the children of Israel might never have existed. Today this has all changed with the discoveries in Egypt, Babylonia, Assyria, Palestine and in other ancient lands. This small work illustaretes the discoveries at that time. **** NOT AN EX LIBRARY COPY **** R7. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Soft Cover. Jacket: No Jacket Stock number: 007018.

Imprint: London, Jonathan Cape, 2003 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A clean and unmarked copy with dustjacket which is not price clipped and has marks to back. First edition, first printing. 255 pages. Translated from the Italian by Martin McLaughlin. Italo Calvino (1923-1985) was an Italian journalist and writer of short stories and novels, lionised in Britain and the United States, he was the most-translated contemporary Italian writer at the time of his death, and a noted contender for the Nobel Prize for Literature. The pieces collected here range from the early 1950's to his last interview just before his sudden death. Apart from shedding light on his own formative experience and evolution as an author, his writings also examine the major events of 20th century history from a very personal viewpoint: his memories of Fascism in San Remo in the 1930's, his participation in the Resistance in the Ligurian hills in the 1940's, his militant communism in the early 1950's, and his exit from the Italian Communist Party in 1957. Included is a previously unpublished travelogue recounting his visit on a Ford Foundation Grant to the USA in 1960, and his encounters with key figures of the time including Martin Luther King. His evocative homage to his adopted city, Paris, where he lived from 1967-1980 gives title to the book. 24. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hard Cover. Jacket: Very Good Stock number: 008691.
