BRYSON, BILL

At Home: A Short History of Private Life

London, Doubleday. 2010, 1st UK Ed. (ISBN: 0385608276) Hardcover. Book, Bill Bryson was struck one day by the thought that we devote a lot more time to studying the battles and wars of history than to considering what history really consists of: centuries of people quietly going about their daily business - eating, sleeping and merely endeavouring to get more comfortable. And that most f the key discoveries for humankind can be found in the very fabric of the houses in which we live. This inspired him to start a journey around his own house, an old rectory in Norfolk, wandering from room to room considering how the ordinary things in life came to be. Along the way he did a prodigious amount of research on the history of anything and everything, from architecture to electricity, from food preservation to epidemics, from the spice trade to the Eiffel Tower, from crinolines to toilets; and on the brilliant, creative and often eccentric minds behind them. And he discovered that, although there may seem to be nothing as unremarkable as our domestic lives, there is a huge amount of history, interest and excitement - and even a little danger - lurking in the corners of every home.

JARRATT, MELYNDA

War Brides: The Stories of the Women Who Left Everything Behind to Follow the Men They Loved

Dundurn Press. 2009. (ISBN: 1554883865) Soft cover. Book, For thousands of young British girls, the influx of Canadian soldiers conscripted to Britain during the Second World War meant throngs of handsome young men. The result was over 48,000 marriages to Canadian soldiers alone, and a mass emigration of British women to North America and around the world in the 1940's. For many brides, the decision to leave their family and home to move to a country thousands of miles away with a man they hardly knew brought forth ensuing happiness. For others, the outcome was much different, and the darker side of the story reveals the infidelity, domestic violence, poverty, alcoholism and divorce that many lived through. War Brides draws on original archival documents, personal correspondence, and key first hand accounts to tell the amazing story of the War Brides in their own words-and shows the love, passion, tragedy and spirit of adventure of thousand of British women. 288p. plates bibliography index. As New.

SAUL, JOHN RALSTON

The Unconscious Civilization

Toronto, House of Anansi Press. 1995, 1st Canadian Edition. (ISBN: 0887845762) Soft cover. Book, "Our society, John Ralston Saul argues in the 1995 Massey lectures, is only superficially based on the individual and democracy. Increasingly it is conformist and corporatist, a society in which legitimacy lies with the specialist or interest groups and decisions are made through constant negotiations between these groups. The paradox of our situation is that knowledge has not made us conscious, Instead we have sought refuge in a world of illusion where language is cut off from reality.199p.Looks unread, but paper slightly aged, else as new.
