Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a sweeping look over the history of the struggle for equality and against the system of racial segregation in the United States over the past century and a half, and the legacy of that struggle as it continues to this day. The author traces the roots of the fight against racism to the Civil War, from the aftermath of the Reconstruction Era to the battlegrounds of Jim Crow, the valiant struggle of the Civil Rights Movement, and the search for an equitable outcome in the present day. The author presents a balanced perspective that lays bare the historic impact of the actions of both allies and detractors of the cause, from ordinary citizens to those in power. By examining the tireless work of activists, the author sheds light on the historical context and the struggles that have shaped the fight against racial injustice. This book stands as a tribute to the heroes of this ongoing story and a reminder that the struggle for racial equality is far from over.

First edition hard back binding in publisher's original navy buckram covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back. 8vo. 10'' x 8''. The monument includes a Late Bronze | Early Iron Age palisaded hilltop enclosure situated on a natural chalky knoll half way down the northern scarp of the Wolds in Knapton Plantation. Separated from the main ridge of the Wold by a deep ravine, the steep-sided knoll rises to 115m above sea level and is a naturally defensive spot with commanding views over the Vale of Pickering and the Carrs. The Wolds are known to be rich in prehistoric remains, including Bronze and Iron Age linear earthworks and Early Bronze Age burial mounds. Although the exposed and practically soil-less hilltop bears no visible traces of the prehistoric settlement, the below-ground remains of the palisadedefences and some internal structures were identified during Thomas Cape Mason Brewster's excavations in the 1950s. Subsequent to the excavations, concrete markers were inserted into the backfilled foundation pits of these structures to indicate their position and a footpath was constructed up the west side of the knoll to assist visitors' access. Brewster's excavations revealed that the earliest defences comprised a relatively lightly built stockade near the top of the knoll and with three minor entrances in addition to a main gateway on the south side. This palisade was later replaced with a stronger one, located further down the slope, on a line approximating to the 111m contour. The later defences were remodelled on at least one occasion and comprised a stout timber revetment packed behind with chalk. The southern entrance was maintained throughout the life of the settlement but, presumably to increase the security of the enclosure, only one entrance existed in the later phase. The internal structures included the post-holes, hearths and floor surfaces of three huts, and the foundations of a rectangular timber granary, raised on stilts. Among the finds from the site were bronze razors of the 'Hallstatt C' type, objects of jet, bone and antler, Bronze and Iron Age pottery, clay spindle whorls and loom weights. Fragmentary human remains were also found. Contains colour frontispiece, small colour vignette to title, (iv), 161 pp (+ i) with 39 plates including maps + 95 figures throughout, triptych folding excavation plan to the rear.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book thoughtfully examines the development of the art of Albert Moore, a Victorian artist whose preoccupation with classical Greek ideals led to a distinctive style that set him apart from his contemporaries. The author traces Moore's artistic journey, from his early training at the Royal Academy Schools to his later evolution into a leading figure in the Aesthetic Movement. Through a close analysis of Moore's paintings, drawings, and decorative designs, the book explores the artist's unique approach to form, color, and composition, highlighting his mastery of line and his innovative use of symbolism. The author also delves into the broader cultural and intellectual context of Moore's work, examining the influence of ancient Greek art, Japanese prints, and the writings of Walter Pater on his artistic vision. Ultimately, the book offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of Moore's artistic legacy and his significant contribution to the development of British art in the 19th century.
