Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The only novel from this guy is "a novel of grueling suspense and violence in the Georgia swamp". This may be an example of what I call "hyblurbole" (Get it, get it? Hyperbole and blurb? Oh, never mind!) but it certainly is set in the Okefenokee swamp and seems to be a tale of shock and suspense. A thin line on bottom edge could be a remainder mark, slight softening to top of spine, and there is some very faint spotting to top edge. A near fine copy in a very good, slightly rubbed and edgeworn dust jacket with the price obliterated by marker pen.

Hardback. Condition: New. Seventy years after the end of World War II, the full story of Britain's secret Antarctic expedition has still never been told. Launched in 1943, Operation Tabarin was an expedition to secretly establish bases, keep a watchful eye on German and Japanese activities, and curb opportunistic Argentinian incursions.Ivan Mackenzie Lamb was the expedition's botanist but, until now, his narrative has never been published. His account provides a fascinating insight into this top secret military operation. He was a member of the naval party that established three manned bases, he remained in the field throughout the operation's two-year duration and took part in all three major sledging expeditions.After the war, he used his diary to complete a vivid story of his time in Antarctica. It is a key eyewitness account and has been illustrated with contemporary photos and expedition maps.Operation Tabarin is without doubt one of the most significant expeditions of what might be described as the 'post-Heroic' phase of Antarctic exploration; ultimately it would develop into the British Antarctic Survey, arguably the most important and enduring of all government-sponsored programmes of research in the Antarctic. Operation Tabarin also set in train a series of events that would lead, ultimately, to the Falklands War of 1982.

Octavo, blue cloth (hardcover), gilt lettering, 551 pp. Near Fine, with former-owner bookplate; in a Near Fine, mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: Sir Alexander Mackenzie (1764-1820) owes his fame to his two remarkable journeys of exploration across the North American continent. Born on the Isle of Lewis off the west coast of Scotland, Mackenzie emigrated to America with his father and aunts in 1774 and later opted for a career in the fur trade. It seems to have been officially on behalf of the North West Company, though partly on his own initiative as well, that he undertook his first major expedition in 1789. Starting from Fort Chipewyan, a trading post in what is now northern Alberta, Mackenzie hoped to find a route westward to the Pacific. He travelled down the Slave River to Great Slave Lake and discovered the Mackenzie River. Soon realizing that the river was leading him north and not west he nevertheless continued to follow it and reached its mouth in the Arctic Ocean. Mackenzie was already thinking of a second expedition to find a route to the Pacific before he returned from the Mackenzie River, and in 1792 he set out again from Fort Chipewyan. Travelling partly by water and partly overland he evenutally succeeded in reaching the Pacific Ocean in 1793, and became the first white man to cross the full width of the North American continent. Mackenzie's Journals show him as a demanding and highly strung leader who pushed his men to the limits of endurance. Nevertheless it was his achievement to bring both expeditions safely home without loss of life. Mackenzie's Letters, written between 1786 and 1819, are of interest for the additional information they provide about his character and career in the fur trade. Dr. Lamb has provided a full introduction and notes on both the Journals and the Letters. Discovery & Exploration, American History, United States History, U. S.
