Softcover. Condition: Very Good. Ships have been overwhelmed by huge waves, consumed by fires, broken apart, sunk by storms and driven onto uncharted rocks. They have collided with icebergs or other ships, been sunk by enemy torpedoes or gunfire, or run aground on unlit coastlines at night. Boilers have exploded. Magazines have ignited. Cargoes have shifted with catastrophic consequences and submarines have submerged never to come up again.Shipwrecks selects the sinkings with the greatest loss of life, the most famous vessels, the richest treasure troves, the most archaeologically significant wreck sites and the most daring rescues. It tells the tales of the fate of the victims, the disastrous mistakes made by ships' captains and navigators, the impossible conditions faced at sea, the courage of those who survived and the audacious attempts to raise what now lies at the bottom of the sea. 144 pages.

Decorative Laminated Boards. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Select Edition. Hardcover. A Village Year. Small tear to bottom edge of spine of D/J. The author, who has spent most of his life in villages, knows the customs and the characters intimately and in this book he follows a typical English village month by month, through the activities and seasons of the year, in an account that is part fiction, part fact, a style he has made all his own. His sharp observations of expected and unexpected events in the village result in a humerous and entertaining description of the villagers' daily life in which the reader is invited to take part. August is the month of the match - the annual cricket match against neighbouring villages. At other times the events in the Women's Institute and the Parish Council catch the interest, or the church with its Vicar and bell ringers, or the local pub. The reader shares the villagers' sport, scandals, work, festivities, problems and pleasures. The text is illustrated with photographs of typical 'happenings' in the village, many of which have been taken by photographers James Ravilious, and also includes four Edward Bawden's delightful colour lithogeaphs.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Reprint. Hardback. Foreword by Gordon Beningfield. This book celebrates a world of leafy hedgegrows, quiet country lanes and small, lush meadows, of small-scale mixed farms with chickens scratching in the farmyard, of tranquil villages where the cottages were inhabited by country people rather than commuters, and of harvest scenes in which the fruits of a year's labour were gathered in by whole families helped by heavy horses and not by a single contractor driving a large, noisy marchine. Here too, are the craftsmen who served their local communitites, producing everything from cartwheels to clothes pegs, from bee skeps to farm ladders. The highly evocative pictures of the British countryside dating from around 1930 to the early 1960s, are accompanied by an informative commentary by Sadie Ward that reveals a deep knowledge of the nation's rural past. The foreford is by Gordon Beningfield, who is well-known for his line paintings of the English countryside. This collection of superb period photographs drawn from the archives of the Institute of Agricultural History at the University of Reading paints a beautiful and poignant portrait of a way of life that has vanished for ever. Illustrated throughout. 95 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
