The Catalan Opening is currently in the repertoire of most all of the world's elite players. It has even been played at the World Championship level many times! This is largely because it combines strategic pressure with possibilities for a very sharp, complicated tactical struggle. This is perfect for those who insist on decisive chess. However, there are also some quieter, more solid lines. The Catalan combines the Queen's Gambit pawn duo(d4 and c4) with the hypermodern fianchettoed KB as with 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.g3 or 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.g3. From g2, the KB strikes through the center squares e4 and d5 and beyond to c6, b7, and a8, applying pressure to Black's Queenside. Another important advantage of the Catalan is that it can be used to side step popular Black defenses such as the Nimzo-Indian and Queen's-Indian. It can also be reached by transpositions from many different move orders. This is very good against strong opposition! Condition: Edge wear, corners bumped and rubbed else very good.

Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's yellow cloth with red lettering to spine. Foreword by Irving M Zeitlin. First edition. How may the sources of poverty in the Third World nations best be explained and understood? Does a Malthusian explanation based on extremely high population growth rates and scarce and diminishing resources provide the best understanding? Or does a Marxian explanation based on extreme class inequality provide a better understanding of Third World poverty? Luis A Serron, using Mexico as his test case because of its known extremes of population growth and class inequalities, here attempts to test the validity of Malthusian and Marxian theories against the bare facts of Mexican poverty. Analyzing an enormous amount of data on such key variables as fertility, mortality, migration, food supplies, health, housing, education, family patterns, contraception, public policy, concentrations of ownership in land, industry and commerce, as well as trends in finance, productivity, income distribution, unemployment, and the cyclical fluctuation of business, Serron demonstrates convincingly that the Marxian perspective allows a far deeper and more thorough understanding of Third world poverty than does the Malthusian perspective.

Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's quarter black cloth with gold lettering to spine and cover over dark grey boards. First edition. Inspector Wexford is asked to look into the disappearance of his Kingsmarkham neighbor, Rodney Williams. Since Joy Williams is dowdy, Wexford assumes at first that her middle-aged husband has simply left her for someone younger and more attractive. Three weeks later, when Williams' abandoned car is found vandalized in a nearby town and the suitcase of clothes he had left home with is discovered in a field pool, Wexford starts to suspect that there may have been a murder. It eventually emerges that Williams was a bigamist who had been dividing his time between one home in Kingsmarkham and a second in the neighboring town of Pomfret. Years before, he had married sixteen-year old Wendy there and now has a fifteen-year-old daughter Veronica, in addition to the eighteen-year-old Sara in his other home in Kingsmarkham. The two wives only find out about each other after Williams' body is discovered in a shallow grave. He has died from multiple stab wounds. Things become more complicated when a number of young men are stabbed by teenaged girls belonging to a radical feminist group called ARRIA, whose logo is a human-headed raven. This has a large following in the local girls' schools, including those attended by relatives and friends of the two Williams families. One girl mentions to Wexford that it was not true that the two families did not know of each other since she had seen "those two women" together months before. However, intensive interviewing of Joy and Wendy Williams brings no confession, although the murder weapon is discovered plastered into a redecorated wall in Wendy's living room. After an ARRIA member whom he has interviewed is discovered strangled in the garden of the house where they hold their meetings, Wexford finally realises that someone in the group must have been involved in the Williams murder. His suspicion turns to Sara Williams, who claims she was raped by her father when younger, since she has the motive for hating him. Wexford baits a trap for Sara, using her half-sister Veronica, and it emerges that it was these two "women" (in the eyes of ARRIA) who had been meeting secretly for months. Sara is a fantasist who had used the excuse of warning Veronica against her father to dominate her and had then used her as an accomplice in helping dispose of Williams' body once she had murdered him.

"Game fishing is described by Bill Currie as a sport which can engender the whole range of feelings, running from superb fulfilment to abject despondency. In this book he aims to teach others by communicating his own experiences, involving the reader in his fishing, its logic, its challenges, its successes and its failures. The book is divided into five main sections. The first gives profiles of the game fish and their world, introducing the species for which fishing techniques are detailed in the chapters that follow. The next major section deals with where and how to catch trout, with a thorough examination of the various methods employed. A section on the quest for sea trout follows. Section four is headed 'The Pursuit of Salmon' and, as for the trout, the author deals with all aspects of the sport for this great fish: conditions, fly fishing, spinning, floating lines, natural baits, local tactics, etc. Finally, the author describes the techniques of fishing for other game fish, notably grayling and char. The author's very real enthusiasm for the sport, and for the unspoiled and beautiful countryside in which it is enjoyed, shines through every page of this book."

In he fall of 1962, George Spindler suggested that a volume on componential analysis might form a useful number in the series of special issues planned for the American Anthropologist. From that point to this, work on the volume has marked by the active cooperation and assistance of a number of people and institutions. A series of papers would show componential analysis for what it was and for what it was not, which would strip it of the aura of hieratic on its place in anthropology. George McClelland Foster, Jr born in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, on October 9, 1913, died on May 18, 2006, at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California, Berkeley, where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979, when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications, his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics, including acculturation, long-term fieldwork, peasant economies, pottery making, public health, social structure, symbolic systems, technological change, theories of illness and wellness, humoral medicine in Latin America, and worldview. The quantity, quality, and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976. Virtually all of his major publications have been reprinted and/or translated. Condition: Foster's stamp to front wrapper. Spine sunned, corners bumped else very good.

"In this book, Ken Whitehead's life-long commitment to pike fishing is described, from his boyhood when he was introduced to the old, brutal trimmers. Over many years since he has devised his own special rigs for tempting pike from a wide range of very different waters. His ideas on the different live and deadbaits and how to present them give a fascinating insight into the mind of an angler who has used his understanding of pike behaviour to seek and catch them from waters thought not even to hold the species." In this book the author shares his insights into the world of pike fishing based on more than fifty years experience. An interesting title written by an angler who started in the days when pike were considered vermin and gorge methods were common and has continued through to the modern days of catch and release. Chapters include: Early beginnings; Livebait and deadbaits; Spinners and plugs; Fast waters; Slow waters; Stillwaters; Tidal waters; The future. .
