The Country Life Picture Book of Britain
London, England Country Life Ltd. 1944 Revised and Enlarged Edition Hard Cover Very Good Good B/W Photographs
Blue cloth on boards. volume is lightly worn on the edges. Now in protective cover. Introduction by The Right Hon. Earl of Derby, K.G. From the introduction: The beauty of the English scene is based for the most part on its intimacy and on its humanism. The English landscape is not wild; it bears all the marks of a country fashioned by man's hands for farming and for sport. The Scottish and Welsh scene is usually more as Nature made it, and is conceived on a grander scale. The English contribution to civilization is by no means small. It is doubtful if we ourselves appreciate suffiently the ordered beauty of the eighteenth-century London which is so rapidly disappearing under the pick and shovel of the builder."

Green paper on boards, green cloth on spine. Volume has a bruise on the rear cover at the bottom edge. "With great simplicity and style, Alain Absire brings to life the France of 1000 years ago. Odilon de Bernay, a monk, sick and near death writes his confession. As a young man he became squire to the knight Liebault de Malbray. Odilon's admiration for his master grew into a passionate love. But Liebault became enamored of Mathilde, a peasant girl, who had secret powers of healing - and Odilon was abandoned to the torments of rejection, jealousy, and revenge. God's Equal is a story of innocence and sin beautifully told against a background of Norman castles, festive hunts, barons, vassals and scenes of savage, bloody violence."

[ Louis Adamic was a novelist and journalist, an immigrant from Europe in his teens, and a naturalized citizen of the United States, who wrote about the experiences of American minorities, especially immigrants, in the 1900's.] From the dedication: " Twice within the memory of men now living, dreams have had a force strong enough to reshape the world. At this moment [1940] it is a dream of personal power, that tumbles the Old World and its culture into ruin, and sends men scurrying in fear before it. This dream is a mightmare. Only yesterday it was another dream, a dream that set in motion the greatest migration in the history of the world. Then men did not scurry in fear; they were led by hope. The broad Atlantic became a common highway to the Land of Promise, where people were needed and wanted. And they came from many lands, a little lost, a little frightened, but eager-eyed, possessed of high belief, the belief of in the possibility of function, of self-realization, of creativeness, of growth of human worth." Wonderful, beautiful photographs of immigrants taken at Ellis Isand.

Adams, Blair with Joel Stein and Howard Wheeler Who Owns the Children? Public Compulsion, Private Responsibility and the Dilemma of Ultimate Authority
Waco, Texas, USA Truth Forum 1991 0-916387-24-0 Revised and Expanded Edition Trade Paperback Good No Jacket
Black pictorial printer wrapper. Book club review laid in. Book Five in the series: Education as Religious War. Volume is underlined and highlighted on a few pages. The head of the spine has a fairly deep scuff that has torn the wrapper. Browning is beginning on all pages. From the Preface: "Some mock the question our title poses as misguided and wrongheaded, presuming that our answer is, 'the parents,' and therefore that the book grants parents carte blanche authority over their children. Such people will one day be rudely awakened to reconsider their cavalier dismissals of this central question as they discover, that the State claims that it owns ALL children. It also reveals the increasing consolidation of total State authority in the United States. The consolidation has moved through, first, compulsory education laws and then a vast array of other laws and judicial decrees pertaining to physical and social health. Finally, in the name of seemingly irreproachable causes it has moved forward incrementally so that the increments now represent the likely annihilation of every trace of privacy in familial relationships and ultimately even the privacy of human conscience."

"Annie Deane was a beautiful school teacher who had been captured and possessed by an Indian warrior in the 1800s. One hundred years later a middle-aged Hollywood director, Sam Brown, becomes intrigued with Annie Deane, and decides to make a movie of her story. His interest turns to obsession as he comes to believe that Annie visits him by night for hours of passionate lovemaking. Brown enlists the aid of John Sans Arc, a writer who investigates the supernatural. This book is, on it simplest level, a novel gripping enough to hold any reader for several nights. In addition, each supernatural event in the story represents the first serious attempt to provide a bridge between the belief in the occult and the evidence science is beginning to accumulate proving that much of our supernatural folklore is based upon existing but previously unidentified physical and biochemical laws. The novel is supplemented by a section dealing with the author's own theories and explanations of these events. A comprehensive bibliography is included for those who wish to go deeper into the field in order to arrive at their own conclusions."

It was an auspicious hour for America's intellectual future. In the course of the next century and a half, the movement these men began would be studied as economics, aesthetics, philosophy, literature, even ecology. But surprisingly few scholars would confront their thought in the terms the Transcendentalists had formulated it - as a religion. This book is meant to do just that."

They used to compare Islam with other religions such as Buddhism, Confucism, Hinduism and Sikh. This factor was the main reason which encouraged him to write 'The 200 Hadith'. Staying in the University dormitory helped him to better understand the mentality of the American students, so he decided to explain the Islamic Religion for them in the correct way."

The man who, about ten years ago [1935], thought of the plan, and those who have followed and added to it, did not invite publication of this book - they have neither sought nor encouraged publicity for what they are doing. Yet with a deepening sense among people of these United States of the dangers of racial and religious intolerence, of misunderstanding between neighbors, of a competitive rather than a co-operative spirit, the authors and publishers feel that the time is ripe to make available to all, this fine photo-record of how one typical American community is making democracy real and vital."

Allen, Grant The European Tour
New York Dodd, Mead and Company 1908 Reprint Edition Hard Cover Good No Jacket
Green cloth on boards. Owners name on fep. Volume is worn on all edges. Front cover board has a vague crease. Now in protective cover. From chapter one: "Young man, go to Europe! It is not without due reflection that I venture thus to reverse the geographical direction of a famous saying. Horace Greeley requires revision. As American now stands, I believe by far the most valuable education a young man can obtain is a European trip, undertaken during the years most often devoted to a college course. It cost no more; it may even cost less; and I make bold to say it is immeasurably more educative. Allowing that America is still the best country in which to be born, I still maintain that Europe is the best country in which to get a year's education. I mean a year of travel, enjoyment, observation. The best learning of all is the learning we aquire without ever knowing it. Nothing makes impressions so vivid as pleasure. Now, travel holds the same position with regard to mankind, its history, its industry, its arts, its organisation, as laboratory work holds to chemistry, field work to geology, and dissection to biology. If you want to understand the world of men, you must go and see it." This book was written 103 years ago, and I'm ready to pack right now! He has a sense of humor as well. The author was born in Canada, educated in America and worked most of his life in England. He wrote under various pseudonyms, fiction, travel and other works; was one of a small group to advocate free love (in the nineteenth century!), and had some cachet with the atheist movement.

Allen, Robert L. Black Awakening in Capitalist America : An Analytic History

Black cloth on boards, grey cloth on spine. Volume is worn on the edges, erasure mark has discolored the fep, the covers are soiled. Owners name on top and bottom page ends, in black marker, then crossed out in black marker. Now in protective wrap. From the Introduction: "The course of a social revolution is never direct, never a straight line. The black revolt is no exception to this process. Black America is an oppressed nation, a semicolony of the United States, and the black revolt is emerging as a form of national liberation struggle. In the United States today a program of domestic neocolonialism is rapidly advancing. It was designed to counter the potentially revolutionary thrust of the recent black rebellions in major cities across the country. This program was formulated by America's corporate elite. The corporatists are attempting with considerable success to co-opt the black power movement. Their strategy is to equate black power with black capitalism."

Allen, Steve (with a foreword by Martin Gardner) Steve Allen on the Bible, Religion, & Morality
Buffalo, New York, U.S.A Prometheus Books 1990 0-87975-608-X Hard Cover Very Good Good
Black treated paper on boards. 428 pp. Volume has minor wear, a stain on the top page edges. Jacket is rubbed, a tiny short tear at the top of the rear panel. Now in clear cover. "In this book, perhaps his most important project to date, Allen focuses his talents and critical intelligence on the Bible. He points out that despite the significance of the Scriptures to Western culture, history, religion, and morality, the majority of Americans are almost completely ignorant of the contents of the Good Book. Steve Allen's interest in biblical scholarship began with casual reading of the Gideon bibles that are found in hotel rooms across the country. In the course of his reading, so many questions were raised in his mind that he started recording his thoughts. The practice turned into a 20 year habit, enough to fill the present volume and many more. Fundamentalist assumptions about the reliability and authenticity of the Bible as a historical document or as the inviolable word of God simply have no rational or factual basis. Mr. Allen argues that Americans can and should critique the Bible as they would any other historical document."

Pictorial Wraps. Volume has light soil with worn edges. A tear starting at the top of the front spine fold, some scratches, creasing and light scuffing to front panel. [ I don't know if this book is politically correct in these times (2008) and with the name of the series itself, but it certainly has a provocative title.] "Don and Terry Allen, a husband and wife writing team for years had been taking brief side excursions into the Navaho Reservation. An opportunity to become directly involved with the native population came along in 1955, when they were invited to serve as caretakers for an outstation of Ganado Mission. The Adams' observe well, and have a keen sense of humor, their writing style is folksy, never maudlin."

Ambler, Effie Russian Journalism and Politics, 1861 to 1881 : The Career of Aleksei S. Suvorin
Detroit, MI, U.S.A. Wayne State University Press 1972 0-8143-1461-9 Hard Cover Near Fine Good
Brown paper on boards, cream color cloth on spine. Jacket is slightly worn on the edges, two small tears lower edge, front and rear panels. Now in clear cover. "Suvorin, the significant journalist and publisher in Russia in the last part of the nineteenth century, was loathed by the anti-autocratic intelligensia for his chauvinism and his reactionary political pronouncements. He began his career as a liberal, even a radical, but gradually shifted to the extreme right-wing position during the years spanned by this study. It is on the career of Aleksei Suvorin, then, that Effie Ambler bases her study of Russian jounalism and politics prior to the revolution. She uses Suvorin's career to reveal all kinds of fascinating things about Russia and even some developments of general European signifcance. Miss Ambler is interested in the dynamics of Suvorin's conversion from liberal to reactionary. This volume places Suvorin in historical context, gives larger insight into those years, presenting a picture of the press and public opinion, censorship, the financial instability of newspapers, and a thorough understanding of the reactionnary policies and policymakers of the time."

Jacket is worn all edges, torn at the top front corner fold, chipped, especially at the spine ends and creased, rubbed and some kind of soil splash on the front panel. There is a small, short, scuff tear on the middle of the back panel. Now in clear cover. "The Long Holiday was born in captivity - in the captivity which Francis Ambriere endured with a million and a half other French soldiers who were taken by the Germans when they overran France in May, 1940. Its publication in France created a sensation and it was unanimously awarded the coveted Prix Goncourt in 1946. It was dramatic evidence that French courage and French character survived in the Nazi Prison camps. It was water for the parched tongue of the French people, who emerged from the war militarily beaten and morally crushed. Small wonder that they took this book to their hearts."
