Alan Sutton, Stroud, Gloucestershire, 1993. Reprint. Paperback. Very Good/N/A. white titles spine; "with the advent of cheap photography in the 1850s 'artistic. photographers' arrived and setup businesses in Hastings. Ordinary people were at long last able to have their likenesses taken. This book tells the story of Hastings and its inhabitants in photographs from the middle of the Victorian period until the onset of the Second World War. The author. Pamela Haines, is a native of the town. She has a wide local knowledge and is well-known for her slide talks on Victorian topics. Victorian Hastings was vital, noisy and successful. However, by Edwardian times there was widespread local poverty and this inspired Robert Tressell to depict Hastings as Mugsborough in the Ragged Trousered Philanthropists. Between the two World Wars there were many new developments; an enlarged and extended sea front, the White Rock Pavilion, a Bathing Pool built to Olympic standards and a new hospital. This…

Stanley Paul & Co, London, 1927. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Good Condition/No Dust Jacket. Preface by W. L. Courtney (English author, philosopher and journalist;) From authorÂs foreword: "These 'Recollections' are not an autobiography. To some extent they take that form, but, for the most part, they concern only that part of my career which had to do with the City of London. Fleet Street, of course, is an important part of the City, but I have not here treated it as the centre of the world at large, as I came to regard it, particularly when sent on far distant missions. My method has not been to deal with events chronologically, but dates are given as a guide. The "Recollections" are by no means exhaustive. Designedly, although 1 have included certain criminal trials at the original Old Bailey and, incidentally, with criminal matters which had special interest to the City, I have reserved for another occasion the story of the Press-detective…

Buddhism and Psychotherapy will be of practical assistance to students of psychology, comparative religion, and art. Mr. Hall gives the interpretations and psychological meanings of the beliefs and practices of the Mahayana Buddhists adapted to the requirements of the non-Buddhist reader.

It started to suffer from cold, starvation and disease, and was constantly harassed by Cossacks and Russian partisans, resulting in its utter destruction as a fighting force.

Yet even this commendation does not do justice to the unique experiences which it unfolds. No European has ever before penetrated into that inaccessible land in such strange circumstances, or has succeeded in staying there so long. Heinrich Harrer, well-known Austrian mountaineer and Olympic ski-ing champion, was climbing in the Himalayas when caught by the outbreak of war, and was interned by the British in India. With a companion, he escaped at. his third attempt and crossed the Himalayas into Tibet. After many desolate marches and strange adventures, they reached the Forbidden City of Lhasa , where they were eventually allowed to remain and earn a living. They found the traditional insularity of Tibet leavened with a new appetite for Western knowledge and ideas. Their fame quickly spread:…

Norwich has decided not to be behindhand, especially as its record over the centuries has been an outstanding one which deserves commemoration. The present foundation derives from a patent of King Edward VI issued in 1547, but his new school carried on the traditions of learning pioneered from the end of the eleventh century by its ecclesiastical predecessors. Devoted mainly to the study of the Classics until the early twentieth century, it has since established itself in many Humanities subjects and in Natural Sciences, as well as encouraging a multiplicity of "other activities" outside the classroom. The impressive list of Old Boys includes distinguished soldiers, the greatest of all admirals, an archbishop and numerous other bishops, formidable judges, scholars and literary men, and…

In Sydney lives an Italian fisherboat family of three: Giuseppe who has become Joe, his wife Rosa and their growing daughter Frankie. Joe works no harder than he should, and times are evil; the mortgaged boat will go, and what then? but Rosa has a plan, a truly fantastic one. Across the island-studded Pacific lies America. To make the islands on the Tina S. and string along eastward, to elude pursuit and somehow, some time, to reach the American coast, is the task finally imposed on the reluctant Joe by Rosa backed by an enthusiastic Frankie. Then, at the last moment, they find another hand - a young man called Willie who seems to have his own reasons for taking a long holiday. Into his story of the mad and gallant voyage of the Tina S.

Description:
Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2010. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). As New/As New. Few figures provoke as much attention, and confusion, as the prostitute. She is at once the archetypal sexual deviant and the symbol of patriarchal exploitation. But in casting her in the dual roles of victim and villain, academic and popular discourse all but ignores the actual experiences of the woman at the centre of the sex trade. Focusing on the testimonies of prostitutes working in the German sex trade in the first half of the twentieth century, Victoria Harris challenges pervasive and persistent myths about the hidden, voiceless world of prostitution. Based on provocative and previously unseen source materials, Selling Sex in the Reich offers a nuanced and vibrant picture of the prostitute milieu. Chronicling the often tense relationships between the wide variety of Germans involved in the sex trade and those bent on destroying it, Harris uncovers the surprising amount of control these women…
