Boards. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. This book crystallizes a point in time of the recently remote past, set in a small New Zealand town; but it could be anyone's experience in any small community. During the first decade of this century the main industries of the town were a flour mill driven by a huge water-wheel, a timber mill and a blacksmith's shop. The growth which subsequently took place is described with a keen sense of history, and vivid accounts of the manners and relationships of the inhabitants. The rural life of the heavy clanking mangle, the butter church and old fashioned water-pump contrasts with an account of the political, social and scientific achievements which New Zealand inaugurated many years in advance of Britain and elsewhere.

Cloth. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fair +. First Edition. Hardback. Slight waterstain mark to top edge of D/J. Reincarnation, says the athor, in this lucid and readable book, provides the most convincing explanation for many distrubing problems. The author is the first to admit that there is no 'scientific proof' for reincarnation but there is, as he clearly shows, an ever growing weight of evidence from clairvoyants, from hypnotists and from 'reincarnation therapists' as well as from ordinary people who have been triggered by some event into remembering previous lives in vivid detail. 154 pp.…

Cloth. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. Reprint. Hardcover. Hancock's Last Stand. Price clipped to D/J. Foreword by June Whitfield. In 1968, Edward Joffe was chosen to direct and produce a TV series in Australia: not so much a comeback as a last chance for Hancock. Hancock lived with Joffe for those last three months and, for the first time, Joffe tells the full story; the flashes of comic genius and friendship; the moments of despair, the technical and financical battles; the desperate attempts to keep Hancock sober, and the final agony of the suicide notes, preduced here in full, along with a wealth of previously unpublished photographs, other exculsive material, and the complete script of Hancock's last programme. This book is at the same time a tragtic story and a celebration of a great comic talent.

Cloth. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Under Steam and Sail. Here is a book for old salts and landlubbers alike. The former will relive old voyages, be reminded of familiar pleasures and perils. The latter will learn much and better understand the lures and risks ashore. The author is a Norwegian Sea Captain, a latter-day Norseman with blood of English sea-dogs in his veins and half a century's experience of The Seven Seas. Whether describing his actual escape from a Nzi firing-squad or near-escapes from hurricanes, Wall Street sharks or Chilian chicancery, Captain Wilson has siled close to the wind in more ways than one. As a result of an early episode a loophone in Norwegian law was discovered and there is a legal document named after him and he caused also an addition to the Laws of Malta. He is proud that his doggedness proved that Phoenician traders had ventured further north than was previous believed. His tale is fitting testimony to a life lived to the full. 120 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…

Cloth. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Book Guild Edition. Hardback. Africa in Transition. This book sets out the author's ideas in clear and concise terms. It makes the important point that development is achieved by cultural change, not simply by supplying aid money and technology. A unique eyewitness account is given of tribal genocide in Burundi. The bloody civil was between Hutu and Tutsi in 1972 passed almost unnoticed by the western media at the time, but prefigures the later Rwandan massacres. In Coulter's view, had the west taken notice of Burundi's war in 1972 then things would almost certainly have been different for Rweanda in 1994, even to the point of avoiding the genocide that took place there and the resulting refugee problem that continues to this day. This lively and intelligent book challenges us all to look again at the aid and development 'industry' in Africa today.
