Notes [From the flap “Tells the story of how science, revolutionary politics and the dream of a new economy converged to produce both the metric system and the first struggle over globalization. Amidst the scientific fervour of the Revolution two French scientists, Delambre and Mechain, were sent out on an expedition to measure the shape of the world and thereby establish the metre — which was to be one ten-millionth the distance from pole to equator. Their hope was that people would use the globe as the basis of measurement rather than an arbitrary system meted out by the monarchs.”] Condition Very Good - in Very Good DJ.

ALFRED ALEXANDER  Giovanni Verga
1972, Grant & Cutle True Hardback in Dust Wrapper (DJ). Notes [Giovanni Verga is to-day regarded as one of the great novelists and short-story writers of the 19th century but, even in his own country, it was not until the end of his long life that he began to regain recognition. This absorbing biographical study sets Verga against his political, cultural and social background, first in Bourbon Sicily, then in the excitement of post-Risorgimento Florence and Milan. It also tells in detail the fascinating story of Cavalleria rusticana. Illustrated with B&W photographs, 240pp + biblio and appendix.] Condition Very Good - in Very Good DJ.

ALFRED ALEXANDER  The Hanging of Wilhelm Oberdank
1977, London Magazine Edition True Hardback in Dust Wrapper (DJ). Black boards with Gilt titling to the Spine. 8¾" x 6". 224pp. Index. Notes [Maps to the endpapers. Illustrated with black and white photographs. From the flap “Wilhelm Oberdank, a deserter from the Austrian army, was arrested and hanged in 1882 at the age of 24 for terrorist activities conducted on behalf of the Irredenta, a movement whose aim was to restore to Italy her ‘natural and geographical’ territories. The case proved to be of great importance for the relations between Austria and Italy, and for Italy entering the First World War on the side of the Allies in 1915. In Italy there is hardly a town without its street or square named after Oberdank, yet there is scarcely a reference to him in English books on the period. In this meticulously researched study, Alfred Alexander redresses the balance. He describes Oberdank’s family background, his childhood in Trieste, his brief army service and lonely exile in Italy after his desertion. The second part of the book consists of a detailed account of Oberdank’s trial and sentencing, based on court transcripts, letters and political documents never before translated.”] Condition Very Good — in Very Good Dustwrapper.

ALEXANDRA  I Speak for the Silent
1983, Alexandra Paperback 8¼" x 5¾". 104pp. Notes Introduction by Dr. Brown. [Alexandra was the first full-tune educational psychologist in 'East Town'.

But, in her enthusiasm for the work the load Alexandra took on her shoulders was too heavy. Eventually her drive to develop the work led to the breakdown described in these pages. In the final section of the book Alexandra gives her views on the treatment of 'mental patients'. In the light of her perceptive analysis of all that went on about her, they compel earnest attention.] Condition Very Good. Wraps lightly rubbed at the edges. ISBN: 094659600X. Very Good.

1993, Sinclair - Stevenson True Hardback in Dust Wrapper (DJ). Notes [At the beginning of 1991, Thomas Allen was in Salzburg to open a year of international performances devoted to Mozart, who died in 1791.

Thomas Allen is a fine actor as well as singer and musician, and he is renowned for his interpretations, especially, perhaps, Don Giovanni and Count Almaviva in Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. Readers will be fascinated by his insights into many such roles and by his pungent views on some very different productions and their directors and conductors.
