He explains contemporary events such as the revolt of the young and the growing general disillusionment with our present way of living and also shows what we have to do to create a less frustrating, more rewarding environment to live in. This book gives precision to ideas currently much – but always in vague terms – debated: life-style, values, the quality of life . . . What actually are the possible life-styles? What kind of social structure would really improve the quality of life? What values have changed and why? How can we preserve such constant social requirements as stability, community, functional status, sense of identity, etc, which our technological society has destroyed, and find ways of combining them with the benefits of technology? Rattray Taylor also looks at the economic and political institutions which dominate and warp our present way of life, and considers how we must change them. Politicians and economists, he declares, are blind to the real problems and demands of the concerned but often powerless citizen ; 'they' spend their time tackling day-to-day problems but fail to see that the game has changed. Preoccupied with material wealth and the momentum of the growth society, they simply do not ask themselves what human happiness and social stability really are and how we can all work towards them; 9½x6½". $6.00 id=fut034 Go

Even today it is suitable for honours degree zoology students and students of meat technology, as well as a valuable reference source for research workers. The book begins with the general structure of muscle and examines the biochemical and biophysical properties of the proteins myosin, actin, tropomyosin and troponin, from which the contractile apparatus is built up. It then passes on to their reactions in the organized filaments, myofibrils and fibres. Natural relaxation is described in terms of the calcium pump contained in the system of sarcoplasmic vesticles which enwrap each fibril; 8x5¼". $9.00 id=sci046 Go
Cardan, Jerome sci071 $13.50 Cardan, Jerome : The Book of My Life (De Vita Propria Sua); translated from the Latin by Jean Stonor — Dover, 1962, trade paperback reprint, complete and unabridged, of the 1930 original by E.P. Dutton; with laminated card cover in near-mint condition, contents in mint condition; xx+289+42pp notes, biblio; in his lifetime, Jerome Cardan (1501- 1576) rose from humble birth to a position of international fame and affluence, as one of the greatest Renaissance mathematicians and a successful, respected physician. But he was also a bit of a madman and the book of his life is a vivid portrait of a paranoid, morbid, superstitious man, consumed with self-love and hungry for fame. What results is a surprisingly insightful self-study of a man's reactions and sensations, the first psychological autobiography and still one of the best in world literature. We see the man as only he could see himself. And, through him, we see the beliefs, biases and enthusiasms of his age and the problems that concerned a trained mind in the sixteenth century. Intensely written, this is an unusual and absorbing book, well deserving rediscovery by modern readers; 8½x5½". $13.50 id=sci071 Go

First comes a series of chapters presenting the birds of the world – illuminating their variety, their structure and adaptation, their fossil past, their evolutionary present, their distribution, and their behaviour. Then comes a detailed and stimulating section on bird watching, its purpose, delights, disciplines and techniques. Thirdly comes a remarkable and unique classification and family distribution presentation, with strikingly original family and subfamily maps. Lastly, a stimulating and timely essay on birds and men, with a healthy analysis of all the problems that beset their peaceful and continued co-existence. Even the index is a valuable document; for it gives the most up-to-date scientific name and family of every bird mentioned in the text. 9517 full species of the birds are known, living, extinct and fossil – 8580 living. The Fisher-Peterson sample embraces representatives of all the 200 known families, past and present. The text mentions 1173 species, and 743 are illustrated, 668 of them in colour. More than 200 maps are a distinctive feature which shows the past and present distribution of every bird family and the larger subfamilies, together with a modern classification of birds with a complete census of the known forms of each group. The beautiful Peterson paintings in the first 96 pages are reproduced in eight-colour litho, as is the jacket. Quite apart from its contents, this is a remarkable example of book printing and production. 13½x10¼". $50.00. id=sci076 Go

Palaeontologists tend to fix the time when man and ape diverged from a common ancestor at 20 million years ago, but recent breakthroughs in the study of genetics reveal that they became separate species only about 4 million years ago. The genetic difference between man and his closest relatives, the gorilla and the chimpanzee, is only one per cent. For the first time ever the route from monkey to man can be mapped with unambiguous precision, using what biologists call the Molecular Clock. What they have discovered not only contradicts the traditional fossil-hunter's view of evolution but also, the authors claim, represents the single most significant discovery about the mystery of human origins since Darwin's day; 8¾x5¾". $12.00 id=sci064 Go

Here, in plain language and graceful logic, is the story of human origins and evolution. Examining 'man in the petrified zoo', Dr Kurtén discusses the paleontological evidence that the ancestry of man has been separate from that of apes and monkeys for more than 35 million years (i.e. twice as long as the longest time estimated by other scientists) and that man did not descend from the apes (it would be more accurate to say the apes descended from man's early ancestors). Briefly, he surveys mankind's evolution through the past million years and speculates on the nature of evolution to come, stressing the continuing importance of natural selection and the possible advent of 'controlled evolution'; 8¾x5¾". $18.00 id=sci061 Go

Strange as it may seem, it was this very quest for the impossible that led scientists to understand why perpetual motion could not be attained. The basic tenets of engineering grew from the failures of perpetual motion.

The years following his death were those of killing and internal war which surpassed even the horrors of the reign of Ivan the Terrible.

It begins in the beautiful city of Florence, where Donatello, Fra Angelico, Michelangelo and Botticelli all worked for the Medici; it ends in that same city, now sombre and decaying, where Gian Gastone's old sister, the last of the family, received her few visitors standing under a black canopy in a comfortless room in the huge Pitti Palace surrounded by the dusty treasures collected by generations of her ancestors; 8 ¾x5 ½". $9.00 id=hsg903 Go

And the annual pilgrimage to the town of Santiago de Compostela, where in the great cathedral the bones of the Saint are enshrined, has been going on at least for 1000 years. Mullins leads us over the Pyrenees by the famous pass of Roncesvalles, across the arid uplands of northern Spain, into the cool greenness of Galicia and at last to Santiago de Compostela itself, with its soaring cathedral and its houses decorated with scallop shells (Coquilles St. Jacques) reminders of the medieval days when such decoration denoted free lodging for the pilgrim.

Rich in comic incident – a detached wooden leg scattering dancers at a ball, duelling with champagne bottles, drunkenly dancing with the young Princess Elizabeth at Windsor Castle – Gale's early years seemed untroubled by darker shadows. But later, as a foreign correspondent in Algeria, Egypt and the Far East, he witnessed scenes of such horror that his comfortable world, and ultimately his sanity itself, were shaken to their very foundations. Witty, ironic and deeply moving, John Gale's memoir is a unique record of a most singular clean young Englishman; 8x5""." $8.00 id=aua140 Go

Joyce Grenfell writes entertainingly of her life which led her almost by accident into her triumphantly successful career as entertainer, from her arduous round of wartime entertainments in hospital wards and isolated units in North Africa, Italy and remotest parts of Iran and India. Conditions were hard and the pianos often unspeakable, but it was very worthwhile and is perhaps the most moving and interesting part of the book. With peace came more revue work with Noel Coward (a mixed blessing) and others, and co-operation with Stephen Potter in writing and performing in the classic 'How' programmes. And so eventually to her first show of her own, which has provided the title of this entertaining, humane and often moving book; 9 ½x6 ¼". $22.00 id=aua910 Go

He was nineteen, and had never yet seen the sea, so he went by way of Southampton. He carried a tent, a violin and a box of treacle biscuits, and the journey took him a month. Along the way he learnt to live by playing the fiddle in the streets, and in London he worked as a builder's labourer. Then, on being sacked and having all the time in the world, he decided to go to Spain although he scarcely knew where it was. To a young poet ignorance can be an advantage; it absorbs experience with an intoxicating intensity. It is hard to think of any other writer who has recaptured this process so magically as Laurie Lee does in this book; 8x5 ¼". $16.00 id=aua909 Go

A politically naive soldier, who aspired to govern? A religious fanatic, or the epitome of a practising Christian? Or was he, more simply, an eccentric Victorian adventurer? During his hazardous career, Gordon seemed to be the very essence of muscular Christianity – the prototype, perhaps, of a Boys' Own Paper hero. In reality, however, he was a man tormented by conflict. Out of the turmoil came a simplicity, a clearness of vision, which was dangerous. In a world of statesmen who would happily bend the truth to suit their needs, he was uncomfortably the odd man out; 8 ¾x5 ¾". $14.00 id=bib906 Go

Verneuil, Adam and Maurice: Abstract Art — foreward by Steven Calloway; Bracken Books, 1988, 1st edn large-format trade paperback in laminated pictorial covers, in mint condition; forty colour plates from the 1925 edition of the vibrantly coloured Kaleidoscope; the work of the Verneuils forms a highly important link between the work of the great ornamentists of the middle and later years of the nineteenth century and that extraordinary outburst of design talent in the Paris of the twenties; a link between the confidently eclectic tastes of the nineteenth century style manuals and the bold manifestoes of avant-garde design. In the world of decoration and the applied arts that new spirit found its greatest expression in the celebrated Exposition des Arts Decoratifs in 1925. The strengths and indeed the weaknesses of that show have become the touchstones by which we measure the achievements of the host of decorative artists, furniture makers and pattern designers, both French and of other nations, who worked in the exciting and colourful modernistic style which dominated the commercial design world in the inter-war years, and from the name of the show itself we derive that useful, if sometimes rather vaguely applied style-name, Art Deco. 15x11". $31.50. id=ata036 Go

With his gift as an amateur photographer and a special entree into English aristocracy, V. C. Buckley has vividly captured the best of the years between the two World Wars, when it did not take too much to live in style, drive dashing cars, travel the world on great ocean liners, and frequent glamorous nightclubs. As seen through the eyes of a man who used photography to record the important events of his life from 1909 to 1939, here are 197 marvellously candid shots of people and places - celebrities in England and America; great country houses and their owners; Hollywood; London; New York; and much, much more.

Gurney, Jason hsa900 $10.00 Gurney, Jason : Crusade in Spain – Readers Union, 1976; with dust jacket in very fine condition (spine title faded, one small tear), green cloth in mint condition,; 189pp plus 8pp gloss paper with 12 halftones, 2 maps; Jason Gurney was a sculptor living and working in Chelsea when the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936. After a brief period of training the British Battalion of 600 men was thrown straight into the front line at Jarama and was disastrously overwhelmed. Two-thirds of their number were killed on the first day. Although Gurney was in Spain for only nine months before being invalided home (his right hand was so badly shattered he was never again able to work as a sculptor), his experiences – inadequate training, squalid billets, useless weapons, incompetent leadership – bear graphic witness to what those serving with the Brigades had to endure. His account of the fighting – horrifying, moving, always utterly convincing – makes a real contribution to the literature of war; 8 ¾x5 ½". $10.00 id=hsa900 Go

Started, without much confidence, in 1938, it rapidly won a place in the public's affections, its sales rising at the peak of its success to well over a million copies a week. Picture Post brought together a team of brilliant cameramen, and of writers - Anne Scott-James, Honour Balfour, Maurice Edelman, Kenneth Allsop, James Cameron among them - and developed a unique style, combining profound social concern with gaiety of spirit. It could be serious without solemnity and light-hearted without descending into the flippant and trivial. Picture Post's editor in its great years, Tom Hopkinson, has written an introduction, and this selection, reproduced from the original pages, includes specially commissioned 'hindsight' articles to form a brilliant documentary and record of an extraordinary era; 11¾x8½". $12.00 id=hsa047 Go

The emphasis throughout is on endocrinology as an experimental and quantitative science and there are many references to original modern literature. This book will be useful to final-schoolyear teac hers and pupils and to undergraduate students of pure and applied biology; 8¾x5¾". $12.00 id=med030 Go

Verneuil, Adam and Maurice ata036 $31.50. Verneuil, Adam and Maurice: Abstract Art — foreward by Steven Calloway; Bracken Books, 1988, 1st edn large-format trade paperback in laminated pictorial covers, in mint condition; forty colour plates from the 1925 edition of the vibrantly coloured Kaleidoscope; the work of the Verneuils forms a highly important link between the work of the great ornamentists of the middle and later years of the nineteenth century and that extraordinary outburst of design talent in the Paris of the twenties; a link between the confidently eclectic tastes of the nineteenth century style manuals and the bold manifestoes of avant-garde design. In the world of decoration and the applied arts that new spirit found its greatest expression in the celebrated Exposition des Arts Decoratifs in 1925. The strengths and indeed the weaknesses of that show have become the touchstones by which we measure the achievements of the host of decorative artists, furniture makers and pattern designers, both French and of other nations, who worked in the exciting and colourful modernistic style which dominated the commercial design world in the inter-war years, and from the name of the show itself we derive that useful, if sometimes rather vaguely applied style-name, Art Deco. 15x11". $31.50. id=ata036 Go

Death from cancer or heart disease in these communities is unknown. Dr Davies, who has spent a good deal of time living among these people, discusses his findings in this fascinating account. He describes the villages in which these supercentenarians are found, their geography, climate and geology and their common features. Daily routine, diet and health are investigated carefully. The author tells us of family structures, attitudes to sex, writes of how the life of the supercentenarians differs from that of their grandchildren, and considers the influences of the twentieth century. Running through this is the pursuit of the possible causes for the pattern of longevity; 8½x5 ½". $11.00 id=tvl907 Go

Devanny, Jean fce039 $9.00 Devanny, Jean : The Butcher Shop; edited and introduced by Heather Roberts; note on the original banning of the novel by Bill Pearson — Oxford/Auckland UP, 1981; trade paperback in laminated card cover, in mint condition; 224+36pp notes, biblio; The Butcher Shop first appeared in 1926. Despite big overseas sales it was banned in New Zealand and later Australia for being disgusting, indecent and communistic – in other words, for promoting revolutionary ideas about the role of women and for a bold portrayal of the brutality of farm life. On one level the novel is a fast-paced account of how passsion and jealousy destroy the lives of a rich and cultured farming family; on another it is a fierce polemic for the freedom of women, which in its frankness was years ahead of its time. 8x5¼". $9.00 id=fce039 Go

James, Leslie ral041 $24.00 James, Leslie : A Chronology of the Construction of Britain's Railways – ; Ian Allen, 1983, 1st edn ; in mint condition, with dust cover, black cloth; 114+6pp index, with 6 English and 5 Scottish maps; Leslie James, through painstaking research, has produced a major book of reference on the earliest years of Britain's railways. Each and every company is covered in chronological order with details (where applicable) of dates of incorporation by Parliament and to whom the powers were granted; the routes of the lines constructed; the opening dates for the sections of line and their further history. A bibliography for further reading is given for each company. Further lines opened by the companies and changes of ownership are also noted. The years covered in this book start with the earliest tramway - the Froghall Tramway in Staffordshire - and continue through the first faltering steps towards full steam operation, to the years of the railway mania when - seemingly - every town had to have its own line. This fascinating growth of track is further illustrated by a series of maps for England, Wales and Scotland which presents graphically the explosion of the railway on to the British landscape. 11¾x9". $24.00 id=ral041 Go

These lifelines of the metropolis twist and turn hidden beneath the pavements of the city - fifteen hundred miles of neo-gothic sewers, a hundred miles of neolithic rivers, eighty-two miles of tube tunnels, twelve miles of government tunnels, and hundreds of thousands of miles of cables and pipes. Drawing extensively from the literature and visual archives of the under- world, London under London traces the history of the tunnellers and borers who have pierced the ground beneath the city for close on two thousand years, from the Roman occupation through the grandiose, pioneering Victorian period to the present day. Also tells exactly where you can get below and see the strange world which they depict, whom to ask for permission, and which of the public service authorities organises trips underground; 10¼x7¾". $22.00 id=ldn068 Go
