Aggiungi al carrelloHardback. Condizione: New. The book considers the importance of plants in Tolkien's conception of Middle-earth. It develops the theme that Middle-earth is our own world - and will awaken the reader to the connection between the plants of Tolkien's legendarium and those growing in our gardens and local natural areas of the Northern Hemisphere. It also demonstrates the connection between the various plant communities of Middle-earth and the elven and human cultures that occupy them, including those environments degraded by warfare, industrialization or pollution. The heart of the book is an alphabetical listing, arranged by common names, of all of the plants mentioned in Tolkien's legendarium; for each of these plants the treatment will include: 1) common and scientific name, along with an indication of the family to which the plant belongs, 2) a brief quote from one of Tolkien's works in which the plant is referenced, 3) a discussion of the significance of the plant in the context of Tolkien's legendarium, 4) the etymology relating to both English common name and the scientific name, and where relevant, the name in one or more of the languages of Middle-earth, 5) a brief statement of the plant's distribution and ecology (along with mention of major species), 6) economic uses, both traditional and current, and 7) an easy-to-understand description of the plant. The book provides guidelines to the use of plant descriptions, and the few technical terms used are carefully defined. Many plants are illustrated by original artwork, in the style of a woodcut print. The description along with an identification key, when used with the illustrations, allow easy identification of each plant, adding to the reader's understanding and appreciation of Tolkien's works. A glossary of descriptive terms is also included.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fair. Jacket by Dorothy Judd (illustratore). 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some edge wear, chipping, closed tears and loss to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners rubbed and bruised with loss, blue cloth of covers faded where loss of jacket, not price clipped (30s), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a reasonable copy for its age. 245pp, illustrated. In 1937, on the night of her engagement to the Marquess of Donegall, Sheilah Graham met F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940), at a party in Hollywood. Graham (1904-88), a British born journalist, broke off her engagement, and until Fitzgerald had a fatal heart attack in her apartment in 1940, the two writers lived the fervid, sometimes violent affair that is memorialized here with unprecedented intimacy. When they met, Fitzgerald's fame had waned. He battled crippling alcoholism while writing screenplays to support his daughter and institutionalized wife Zelda. Graham's star, however, was rising, to the point where she became Hollywood's highest-paid, best read gossip columnist. But if Fitzgerald had lived out his 'crack-up' in public, Graham kept her demons secret, such as that she believed herself to be 'a fascinating fake who pulled the wool over Hollywood's eyes'. Most poignantly, she keenly felt her lack of education, and Fitzgerald rose to the occasion. He became her passionate tutor, guiding her through a curriculum of his own design, a college of one. Graham loved him the more for it, writing the book as a tribute. Quite a scarce book.
