	British Isles and Europe 1789-1991 Paper 2005. (ISBN: 034057786x) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall. At critical moments, Britain has played a crucial part in the political evolution of modern Europe, yet its stance has often been ambivalent: sometimes glad to be part of 'European civilization' but at other times rejoicing in the blessings of insularity. This book breaks new ground in tracing the evolving and contested understandings both of Britain and of Europe on the part of politicians, diplomats, historians and travellers in the centuries since the French Revolution. It is at once a discussion of the foreign policy of the United Kingdom - an independent sovereign state in its relations with 'the continent' during its imperial hey-day and after - and a study of the historical perceptions, experiences and assumptions that preceded, and now accompany and complicate its participation in the European Union. The debate over Britain and Europe has long lacked depth. This book supplies it. Very Good/Very Good.

	The English Rural Community : Image and Analysis Cambridge. 1992. (ISBN: 052140567x) Soft Cover. This book examines the English rural community, past and present, in its variety and dynamism. The distinguished team of contributors brings a variety of disciplinary perspectives to bear upon the central issues of movement and migration; the farm family and rural labour force; the development of contrasting rural communities; the portrayal of rural labour in both 'high' and popular culture; the changing nature of religious practice in the English countryside; the rural/urban fringe, and the spread of notions of a rural English arcadia within a predominantly urban society. Fully illustrated with accompanying maps, paintings and photographs, The English Rural Community provides an important and innovative overview of a subject where history, myth and debate are inseparably entwined. A full bibliography will assist a broad range of general readers and students of social history, historical geography and development studies approaching the subject for the first time, and the whole should establish itself as the central analytical account in an area where image and reality are notoriously hard to unravel - small amount of minor creasing to jacket.

	ADKINS, LESLEY Books of Babel Harper Collins. 2003. (ISBN: 0007128991) Hard Cover. From 1827 Henry Rawlinson, fearless soldier, sportsman and imperial adventurer of the first rank, spent twenty-five years in India, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan in the service of the East India Company. During this time he survived the dangers of disease and warfare, including the disastrous First Anglo-Afghan War. A gifted linguist, fascinated by history and exploration, he became obsessed with cuneiform, the world's earliest writing. An immense inscription high on a sheer rock face at Bisitun in the mountains of western Iran, carved on the orders of King Darius the Great of Persia over 2,000 years ago, was the key to understanding the many cuneiform scripts and languages. Only Rawlinson had the physical and intellectual skills, courage, self-motivation and opportunity to make the perilous ascent and copy the monument. Here, Lesley Adkins relates the story of Rawlinson's life and how he triumphed in deciphering the lost languages of Persia and Babylonia, overcoming his brilliant but bitter rival, Edward Hincks. While based in Baghdad, Rawlinson became involved in the very first excavations of the ancient mounds of Mesopotamia, from Nineveh to Babylon, an area that had been fought over by so many powerful empires. His decipherment of the inscriptions resurrected unsuspected civilizations, revealing intriguing details of everyday life and forgotten historical events. By proving to the astonished Victorian public that people and places in the Old Testament really existed (and, furthermore, that documents and chronicles had survived from well before the writing of the Bible), Rawlinson became a celebrity and assured his own place in history.

	D'ANCONA, JACOB; SELBOURNE, DAVID The City of Light : An Authentic Traveler's Tale 1998. (ISBN: 0349108951) Soft Cover, B Format. In 1270 Jacob d'Ancona, a Jewish scholar-merchant, embarked on a remarkable voyage from his native Italy to Zaitun, a vast coastal metropolis in southern China. Translated and edited by David Selbourne from a manuscript hidden from the outside world for centuries, this account of the journey provides a first-person insight into life in the 13th century, describing a thriving mercantile economy, whose vigorous manufacture and lavish consumption in the shadow of the impending Mongol invasion represent the swansong of a wealthy, decadent and surprisingly "modern" society. D'Ancona's participation as a foreign trader in the grand civic debates sheds light on, for example, the contemporary relationship of Jews and Christians, and the role for the individual in society - issues of enduring relevance.

	ASHE, GEOFFREY The Discovery of King Arthur 2003. (ISBN: 0750930365) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. Attempts to find the person (if any) behind the legend of King Arthur have been going on for a long time. By the 1980s, the search was more or less abandoned, having reached a dead-end. This work presents an investigation that broke the deadlock. Arthur emerged from it with a firmer status in history. He was also more interesting more like his legend than once appeared likely. It became possible to see better why he became the kind of figure he did. The delay in running him to earth was due to the nature of the problem he posed. Medieval authors who gave him his literary grandeur fitted him into what they claimed was Britain's history several centuries later. Not much of that history can stand up in the light of present day knowledge it is mostly legend. So historians who looked for Arthur swept the medieval matter aside and searched for him in the scanty older records. But the search was inconclusive. A convincing answer called for a different approach. This books shows that the Arthurian legend itself needs to be taken seriously and sifted for clues. If we line up the legend side by side with the facts as we know them today, the problem of Arthur's identity can be solved. New/New.

	ATTERBURY, PAUL; HAINES, ANTHONY The Thames Cassell Paperbacks. 2002. (ISBN: 1841881759) Soft Cover. Rising in the Cotswolds, the Thames flows through the heart of England on its way to the North Sea. This beautiful river, whose wandering course links together so many villages, towns and cities, is at the centre of English history. Since pre-Roman days it has been a major transport artery, and its 330 kilometre (205 mile) route has determined social, economic, political and regional boundaries over many centuries. Throughout history writers, artists and musicians have been drawn to its banks, adorned as they are with Royal palaces, country houses and abbeys. Passing from its source to the sea, via Lechlade, Oxford, Henley, Reading, Windsor and London, the Thames grows from a tiny stream into a mighty tideway, over a mile wide, its route a vital thread cutting through the varied hills, woods and farmland that characterise the traditional English countryside.

	ADKINS, LESLEY Books of Babel Harper Collins. 2003. (ISBN: 0007128991) Hard Cover. From 1827 Henry Rawlinson, fearless soldier, sportsman and imperial adventurer of the first rank, spent twenty-five years in India, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan in the service of the East India Company. During this time he survived the dangers of disease and warfare, including the disastrous First Anglo-Afghan War. A gifted linguist, fascinated by history and exploration, he became obsessed with cuneiform, the world's earliest writing. An immense inscription high on a sheer rock face at Bisitun in the mountains of western Iran, carved on the orders of King Darius the Great of Persia over 2,000 years ago, was the key to understanding the many cuneiform scripts and languages. Only Rawlinson had the physical and intellectual skills, courage, self-motivation and opportunity to make the perilous ascent and copy the monument. Here, Lesley Adkins relates the story of Rawlinson's life and how he triumphed in deciphering the lost languages of Persia and Babylonia, overcoming his brilliant but bitter rival, Edward Hincks. While based in Baghdad, Rawlinson became involved in the very first excavations of the ancient mounds of Mesopotamia, from Nineveh to Babylon, an area that had been fought over by so many powerful empires. His decipherment of the inscriptions resurrected unsuspected civilizations, revealing intriguing details of everyday life and forgotten historical events. By proving to the astonished Victorian public that people and places in the Old Testament really existed (and, furthermore, that documents and chronicles had survived from well before the writing of the Bible), Rawlinson became a celebrity and assured his own place in history.

	D'ANCONA, JACOB; SELBOURNE, DAVID The City of Light : An Authentic Traveler's Tale 1998. (ISBN: 0349108951) Soft Cover, B Format. In 1270 Jacob d'Ancona, a Jewish scholar-merchant, embarked on a remarkable voyage from his native Italy to Zaitun, a vast coastal metropolis in southern China. Translated and edited by David Selbourne from a manuscript hidden from the outside world for centuries, this account of the journey provides a first-person insight into life in the 13th century, describing a thriving mercantile economy, whose vigorous manufacture and lavish consumption in the shadow of the impending Mongol invasion represent the swansong of a wealthy, decadent and surprisingly "modern" society. D'Ancona's participation as a foreign trader in the grand civic debates sheds light on, for example, the contemporary relationship of Jews and Christians, and the role for the individual in society - issues of enduring relevance.

	ASHE, GEOFFREY The Discovery of King Arthur 2003. (ISBN: 0750930365) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. Attempts to find the person (if any) behind the legend of King Arthur have been going on for a long time. By the 1980s, the search was more or less abandoned, having reached a dead-end. This work presents an investigation that broke the deadlock. Arthur emerged from it with a firmer status in history. He was also more interesting more like his legend than once appeared likely. It became possible to see better why he became the kind of figure he did. The delay in running him to earth was due to the nature of the problem he posed. Medieval authors who gave him his literary grandeur fitted him into what they claimed was Britain's history several centuries later. Not much of that history can stand up in the light of present day knowledge it is mostly legend. So historians who looked for Arthur swept the medieval matter aside and searched for him in the scanty older records. But the search was inconclusive. A convincing answer called for a different approach. This books shows that the Arthurian legend itself needs to be taken seriously and sifted for clues. If we line up the legend side by side with the facts as we know them today, the problem of Arthur's identity can be solved. New/New.

Rising in the Cotswolds, the Thames flows through the heart of England on its way to the North Sea. This beautiful river, whose wandering course links together so many villages, towns and cities, is at the centre of English history. Since pre-Roman days it has been a major transport artery, and its 330 kilometre (205 mile) route has determined social, economic, political and regional boundaries over many centuries. Throughout history writers, artists and musicians have been drawn to its banks, adorned as they are with Royal palaces, country houses and abbeys. Passing from its source to the sea, via Lechlade, Oxford, Henley, Reading, Windsor and London, the Thames grows from a tiny stream into a mighty tideway, over a mile wide, its route a vital thread cutting through the varied hills, woods and farmland that characterise the traditional English countryside.
