4to; original blue boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper, housed in removable protector; pp. (iv) + 137 + (ii); lavishly illustrated with full colour photographs. Fine condition. "As a sanctuary for one of man's own endangered creations - the steam locomotive - South Africa's position is unique. Not only is she the last of the world's industrialized nations to operate steam for both goods and passenger traffic on a rail network set against superb scenery, but the country's mines and industry run a private stable of engines found, elsewhere, only in the world's few railway museums. In magnificent colour photographs and an entertaining instructive text, The Spirit of Steam captures, for the present and future enthusiast, the essence of the staggering range of locomotive types and classes which still operate on the southern tip of Africa. A fascinating blend of picture and word takes the reader across the sun-scorched veld, through cuttings surrounded by snow-capped mountains, and along narrow-gauge lines which wind their way among forests and sub-tropical growth. And, as few other railway books have done, The Spirit of Steam runs back the curtain on the men who ride on the footplate, feeding the fires and taming the steel leviathans. For the spirit which the book captures is not only the spectral smoke and steam, it is the acrid sulphur smell of the firebox and the rough grittiness of fine cinders. Between these pages, the armchair traveller can share, at last, the heat of the engine cab, the throb of a locomotive 'giving all its got', and the thrill of titanic wheels as they thrum their history-making tattoo across an ever-changing landscape.".

The inspiration of the sailing ship for the artist, manifest in the great marine paintings of four hundred years, is part of the adventure too. So are the excitement and love inspired by the sailing ship in ordinary people, which created the demand for innumerable simple prints of ships throughout the age of sail. Captain Donald Macintyre has written a historical record of four centuries, from the first circumnavigation of the world to the virtual disappearance of the square~rigged ship. This is followed by a selection of contemporary writings of many nations, from 1520 to 1914 ( Francisco Antonio Pigafetta, William Bourne, Sir Francis Drake the Younger, Don Garcia Hurtado de Mendoza, Gerrit de Veer, Willem Cornelison Schouten, Thomas Heywood, A. Richer, George Lord Anson, Louis de Bougainville, Captain James Cook, Horatio Viscount Nelson, Captain Isaac Hull USN, Richard Dana, Captain H. A. Chippendale USN, Basil Lubbock, Basil Greenhill CBE, Joseph Conrad, etc.), each piece showing an important aspect of the age of sail, the whole combining with over three hundred beautiful illustrations to give a comprehensive picture of the sailing ship experience. Captain Macintyre traces the development of sails, rigging and hull design, from the caravel, carrack and galleon to the clipper epoch, when the sailing ship became a thing of visual and functional perfection; and beyond to the autumn of the age of sail, to the great steel~hulled four and five~masted barques and barquentines, which had a strange beauty of their own.' He tells the story of maritime exploration and the establishment of commerce : a story of friendly or hostile competition among nations sharing the common experience of the struggle against the sea. Adventure, in the ordinary sense of dramatic and exciting episodes, fills the history of sail and has received an extraordinary amount of eyewitness documentation. The selection of contemporary documents in this volume unfolds a stirring tale of storms, shipwrecks and fights, of famous ships and the men who sailed in them. It shows, as nothing else can, what life in sailing ships was really like. It relives great moments of discovery or despair, such as the first rounding of Cape Horn, or the last voyage of Willem Barents in his brave and futile search for the Northeast Passage, ennobled by the courage and dignity of a crew lost among ice and polar bears in the dark, dreaded Arctic winter. It evokes the brutality of life at sea, but also its warmer, more humorous side. After the horrors of Anson's voyage it is a relief to read of Bougainville's reception at Tahiti and the meeting of Cook's sailors with the nymphs of Nootka Sound. The odyssey of the human spirit is ever present in The Adventure of Sail, from the perceptive introduction by the famous modern sailing man and boat designer, Uffa Fox, to the highly.
