Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In September 1532, eleven years after the Spanish conquest, Mexico is in meltdown. As the conquistadors discover an earthly paradise, its peoples and their Gods are destroyed. This is a time of greed, uncertainty - and idealism. Despairing at his surroundings, Vasco de Quiroga - a new member of the Spanish ruling council - forges a commune on Mexico City's outskirts. Indigenous peoples flock there, and soon a new society exists, complete with a welfare system and a hospital. What distinguishes Quiroga's project is that he uses Thomas More's recently published book, Utopia, as his blueprint. As Toby Green researches Quiroga's biography in Spain and Mexico, he begins to sense an eerie resonance between Quiroga's age and our own. Based on archival research, and rich with vivid reconstructions of 16th-century Spain and Mexico, the narrative becomes a biography not only of Quiroga, but also of utopia as both an idea and a literary form.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Some time ago, Arno Ravilious took the peripheral sport of Formula One-- practised largely by gentlemen players--and turned it into a global powerhouse. He's made himself rich. He's made the people who stayed with him rich. Others, though, are adamant that they have lost out. What will happen when Arno Ravilious is forced to leave the stage? Who could succeed such a pivotal figure? Who should enjoy the rewards, wield the enormous power? And for whose benefit? Will the settling of old scores distort the outcome? Some see Ravilious's momentous departure as the chance to reshape and rebalance the sport, others as their Machiavellian chance to recover what they believe to be theirs. Who will end up running it? Will the scramble for control of the sport break it up? Is this the end of Formula One.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. In 1922, after fifteen years of searching, archaeologists finally discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamun. There, buried alongside the king?s mummy, they found more than 5,000 unique objects, from the mundane to the extravagant, from the precious to the everyday. Tutankhamun?s spectacular gold mask is justifiably famous, but the rest of the treasures remain largely unknown, their stories untold. In this rich and beautifully illustrated work of history, renowned Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson allows one hundred artifacts from the boy king?s tomb to speak again?not only for themselves, but as witnesses of the civilization that created them. A gold-decorated chariot reveals the impressive scale of Egyptian technology. Loaves of bread, baskets of fruit, and jars of wine hint at the fertility of the Nile Valley and the abundant feasts enjoyed by its people. Ebony and ivory from Nubia and a jewel of Libyan desert glass show the range of Egypt?s trading and diplomatic networks. Shaving equipment and board games provide a window into the everyday lives of the people. And perhaps most poignant of all the objects in the tomb is one that conjures up a lost world of human experience: Tutankhamun?s silver trumpet. Through these treasures, Wilkinson bring us face-to-face with the culture of the pharaohs, its extraordinary development, its remarkable flourishing, and its lasting impact. Filled with surprising insights and vivid details, Tutankhamun?s Trumpet offers an indelible portrait of the history, people, and legacy of ancient Egypt. …
