For centuries the letter was the primary form of communication across any distance. Kings, popes, lords, heads of state, scholars, authors — all used pen and paper to plot against one another, gossip, woo and win each other's hearts, and play intricate games of intrigue.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. How Canada became an empire in its own right and how Canadian life came to be mediated through mineral extraction.Extraction is the process and practice that defines Canada, at home and abroad. Of the nearly 20,000 mining projects in the world from Africa to Latin America, more than half are Canadian operated. Not only does the mining economy employ close to 400,000 people in Canada, it contributed $57 billion CAD to Canada's GDP in 2014 alone. Globally, more than 75 percent of the world's mining firms are based in Canada. The scale of these statistics naturally extends the logic of Canada's historical legacy as state, nation, and now as global resource empire. Canada, once a far-flung northern outpost of the British Empire, has become an empire in its own right.This book examines both the historic and contemporary Canadian culture of extraction, with essays, interviews, archival material, and multimedia visualizations. The essayists and interviewees-who include such prominent figures as Naomi Klein and Michael Ignatieff-come from a range of fields, including geography, art, literature, architecture, science, environment, and business. All consider how Canadian life came to be mediated through mineral extraction. When did this empire emerge? How far does it reach? Who gains, who loses? What alternatives exist? On the 150th anniversary of the creation of Canada by Queen Victoria's Declaration of Confederation, it is time for Canada to reexamine and reimagine its imperial role throughout the world, from coast to coast, from one continent to another.Authors & Image ContributorsA Tribe Called Red, Allan Adam, Howard Adams, Yassin 'Narcy' Alsalman, Christopher Alton, Pedro Aparicio, Margaret Atwood, Aaron Barcant, Real V.

A Presentation Copy In the Incredibly Rare Original Printed Dust Jacket GREENAWAY, Kate (artist). HARTE, Bret. The Queen of the Pirate Isle. Illustrated by Kate Greenaway. Engraved and Printed by Edmund Evans. London: Chatto and Windus, 1886. First edition, binding A. Presentation Copy from the Author to Lady Alfred Paget signed and dated London December 2d, 1886. Octavo (8 1/2 x 6 1/4 in; 216 x 159 mm). 58 pp. Color frontispiece and twenty-seven text illustrations in color by Kate Greenaway. All edges gilt. Publisher's original tan cloth, covers pictorially decorated in colors (the front cover with the illustration from page 13, the lower cover with the illustration from page 16), all edges gilt. Cloth a little bit soiled, lower corner of rear board with small loss of cloth. In the incredibly rare original gray paper pictorial dust jacket, printed in brown. The jacket has been miraculously and almost invisibly backed by the master book restorer, Bruce Levy. A spectacular presentation copy, as rare as can be in the original dust jacket. Of the twenty-four copies to come to auction within the last thirty-six years only four were in Binding A, only one possessed the dust jacket, and not a single one was signed. "Mr. Bret Harte has written a children's Christmas book, with the alluring title of "The Queen of the Pirate Isle," which will be illustrated by twenty-five [28] drawings by Miss Kate Greenaway, printed in colors in the text. The result of this combination of one of the most English of artists with one of the most American of authors will be awaited with unusual interest" (The Nation, Vol. 43, No. 1102, August 12, 1886, p. 138). The Queen of the Pirate Isle is a short story set in and around a mining camp in gold-rush California - a milieu that features in almost all of Bret Harte's work. The four young protagonists - imaginative Polly (the "Queen"), her cousin Hickory Hunt, their Chinese "page" Wan Lee, and neighbor-boy Patsey - are all children, have extremely vivid imaginations, and Harte relates their adventures playing pirate - in fantasy, dream, and reality. Bret Harte lived in London from the 1880s through his death in 1902. Lady Alfred Paget, née Cecilia Wyndham (1830-1914) "a woman of remarkable intellectual powers" (NY Times obituary, May 4, 1914), was a lady in waiting to Queen Victoria (who was godmother to one of the Paget children), and owned Chateau Garibondy on the Riviera in the south of France where she entertained royalty and the intellectual cream of Great Britain. She likely met Harte at one of his popular London lectures, always attended by a distinguished audience. BAL 7337. Sharnhorst 902. Schuster and Engen 165.1f.

First edition, first state of this children's classic. First state with the half green cloth binding, all edges stained blue and bright yellow endpapers. Schuster & Engen 109a. Octavo, original half green cloth over pictorial boards, illustrated by Kate Greenaway, printed in colours by Edmund Evans. Association copy, inscribed by Louisa May Alcott on the front free endpaper, "Aubrey, from his friend L. M. Alcott Aug. 1884." Louisa May Alcott remains best known for her beloved children's classic, Little Women, published in 1868. One of the most popular juvenile books ever published, â Little Women is an outstanding achievement of 19th-century American literature, and the first childrenâ s novel written in that country to have become an enduring classic.â â It is one of the first fictional texts for children to convey the difficulties and anxieties of girlhood, andâ ¦ suggests that becoming a â little womanâ is a learned and often fraught process, not an instinctual or natural condition of female developmentâ (Foster & Simon, 87). In good condition. Loss to the lower right portion of the front board. Bookplate. A very nice association linking the quintessential Art Nouveau illustrator of juvenile fiction with the author of one of the most popular juvenile books ever published. English Victorian artist and author Catherine Greenaway began her career designing greeting cards for the burgeoning holiday card market in the mid 19th century after receiving her degree in graphic design from the Slade School of Fine Art. Greenaway began collaborating with wood-block engraver Edmund Evans with her first popular children's book, Under the Window, which appeared in 1879. Within a few years of the best-selling work's publication, Greenaway's depictions of children in imaginary 18th-century costumes in a Queen Anne style were being imitated in England, Germany and the United States.
