Description:
New York: Harry N. Abrams, 1992. 208 pp, oblong (10 1/4" H x 12 1/8" D). Beautifully illustrated in colour throughout. "Characteristically evocative, the words and images in 'Daily Life in Holland' are rich in detail and delicate in coloration, and perhaps the most beautiful of any of Poortvliet's works to date. In this fascinating saga, he recreates the lives of his forebears as they toiled and celebrated their way through daily existence. He does not conjure up a romantic vision of the past - the Dutch countryside was not all tulips and windmills! There were adversity and hard work, and we learn that 1566 was an extraordinary year in Holland, marked by famine and plague, great freezes, floods and droughts, comets and earthquakes, and an invasion by the Spanish as well. Poortvliet's colorful account unfolds before us to reveal how ordinary men, women, and children lived: what kinds of clothes they wore, what their houses were like, what they ate and how they cooked.… Read More

Description:
London: Chatto & Windus, 2012. 364 pp, 8 3/4" H. B&w illustrations. "The brutal murder of the Reverend George Parker in the secluded village of Oddingley on Midsummer's Day in 1806 gripped everyone from the Home Secretary in London to newspapermen across the country. It was a strange and stubborn case. The investigation lasted more than two decades, involving multiple inquests, judges and coroners, each more determined than the last to solve Oddingley's most gruesome crime - or crimes, as it turned out. (This) is a fascinating glimpse into English rural life at the beginning of the nineteenth century, so often epitomised by the civilised drawing rooms of Jane Austen or the rural idylls of Constable. England was exhausted and nervous, dogged by Pitt's war taxes, mounting inflation and the lingering threat of a French invasion. Violence was rife, particularly in rural communities where outsiders were regarded with deep suspicion. With a cast of characters straight… Read More

" 'The Dance of Love is the glory of God's heart, but it is also the pattern which is reflected in everything He has created.' In this book Stephen Verney, former Bishop of Repton, looks at the original meaning of some Christian words. These show how we can relate the two sides of our nature, the human and the divine - and show, too, that this is only possible if we abandon our pretensions and our pride. Thus we can fully recognise our calling by God to accept both ourselves and our fellows; thus we can step out of darkness and into the glory of God." Interior - very light browning to pages, otherwise clean and tight with no other ownership marks. Exterior - soft crease on front cover, light browning to edges of textblock.. Soft Cover. Very Good.

Description:
Toronto: Douglas Gibson / McClelland and Stewart, 1987. 219 pp, 8 3/4" H. Small b&w illustrations. "As (Horwood) describes the land around his home the beauty of his prose is breathtaking, whether he is writing about finches, stars, vegetables, seaweed, beech trees, ponds, garter snakes, or squirrels hiding cookies all over the house. No city-dweller will be able to read this book without a sigh of envy at the life the author and his family have created in 'one of the truly magical places on the earth'. But (it) is much more than just a book about nature described by an expert. For Harold Horwood's detailed observations lead on to a more philosophical plane. The discovery of earthworms knotted to preserve moisture causes him to speculate on DNA and how worms 'remember'. A description of blue herons fencing in a courtship battle, where their razor-sharp bills inflict no damage, leads to the subject of war. These and similar themes are provocative, challenging,… Read More

Two of them call for unified action, and one is for listening only, to induce relaxation - which is fully a s i m p o r t a nt as vigorous rhythmic activity.

Toronto: Macfarlane Walter & Ross, 1991. 225 pp, large 8vo (9 1/4" H). B&w photographs, map. "(A) nonfiction family saga built around the Goodyears of Newfoundland - their move early in the century from Ladle Cove on the Straight Shore to the newly established town of Grand Falls in the interior; the deaths of three brothers during World War I; the ambitions and failures of the family enterprises; the Goodyears' bitter division over the question of whether Newfoundland ought to become a province of Canada. Through the meticulously recreated story of the Goodyears, David Macfarlane illuminates our past in a fresh and unexpected way. 'The Danger Tree' is about the nature of love, the pathos of war, the meaning of family. It's about memory and myth, loyalty and loss, courage and country. By turns funny, astonishing, touching and horrific, (it) moves inexorably toward its heart-rending conclusion." Very light wrinkling at top/bottom of spine, a few tiny soiling… Read More

New York: Harmony, 2088. 325 pp, 9 1/2" H. B&w drawings. "(Z)oologist Bill Schutt takes readers on an entertaining voyage into the world of some of nature's strangest creatures - the sanguivores. Using a sharp eye and mordant wit, (he) makes a remarkably persuasive case that vampire bats, leeches, ticks, bed bugs, and other vampires are as deserving of our curiosity as warmer and fuzzier species are - and that many of them are even worthy of conservation. He takes us from rural Trinidad to the jungles of Brazil to learn about some of the most reviled, misunderstood, and marvelously evolved animals on our planet: vampire bats. Schutt also tracks the history of medicinal leech use. Once employed by the tens of millions to drain perceived excesses of blood, today the market for these ancient creatures is booming once again - but for very different reasons. Among the other blood feeders we meet are bed bugs, or 'ninja insects' (and he) also details our dangerous and sometimes… Read More

He probes Stalin's relationship with his washerwoman mother, who knew him as her little 'ZoZo'. He confronts the kind of mind that can reduce individuals to political symbols or mere numbers. But tyrants are not only found in political office. He sees a direct connection between the rise of the modern dictator and the pheonomenon of the multiple murderer. 'Every multiple murderer is a miniature tyrant,' Burrs writes; 'he only lacks an enormous arsenal, a loyal following, and a sacred cause'." Interior - clean and tight. Exterior - minor edgewear/rubbing, spine is flat and uncreased. VG+.

Walkways, weightless and swaying, threaded between the pinnacles and spires, while winged creatures and air transports flitted and looped among the glittering heights. But Niankan-Siol was a living illusion. The towers were deep-rooted in the despised under-city where an enslaved people huddled in a midden of earth-bound decay. While beyond the teeming city the whole land was dissolving into Chaos and darkness as the swirling demonic energy of the Maelstrom tore the sorcery-doomed World of Jhensit apart. Prince Ashurek, grieving for Silvren, his lost love, looked up and shuddered." Interior - minor browning to pages, otherwise clean and tight with no previous ownership marks.
