Mobilizing Labour for the Global Coffee Market : Profits from an Unfree Work Regime in Colonial Java

Amsterdam, Amsterdam University Press. 2015. Hardcover. Book, 2015, As New, Hardcover, 412pp + 8 black and white; 17 full colour Illustrations Coffee has been grown on Java for the commercial market since the early eighteenth century, when the Dutch East India Company began buying from peasant producers in the Priangan highlands. What began as a commercial transaction, however, soon became a system of compulsory production. This book shows how the Dutch East India Company mobilised land and labour, why they turned to force cultivation, and what effects the brutal system they installed had on the economy and society. Very Good.

BUSH, MICHAEL

The Casualties of Peterloo

Carnagie Publishing Ltd. 2005. Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, 2005, Very Good Condition, Hardcover + Dustjacket, 166pp + Illustrations On a perfect summer's day in August 1819 - as a faint breeze cooled the heat of the noonday sun and gently lifted the flags to display their mottoes and emblems - a huge crowd, mainly of working people, gathered on St. Peter's Field in Manchester to discuss parliamentary reform under the chairmanship of Henry Hunt Esq. a leading advocate of universal suffrage. Conspicuously present at the meeting were women, the breeze dishevelling their long hair as they enthusiastically doffed their hats to cheer. Before the proceedings could begin, however, the crowd was savagely dispersed, the work of cavalrymen charging with drawn and recently sharpened sabres, backed up by the truncheons of the constabulary and the bayonets of the infantry. The outcome was the injury of 654 persons, including the deaths of at least 17, and the seizure and destruction of nearly all the reformers' flags and caps of liberty. Among the casualties women figured prominently, most of them wounded by sabres, bayonets, truncheons and horses' hooves, rather than simply injured in the crush of the crowd. Eight surviving casualty lists offer detailed information about the victims and their attackers, and allow the first truly objective assessment of the day's events. In this important new study, Professor Michael Bush analyses these lists in order to determine the true scale and nature of the atrocity, concluding that the epithet 'massacre' is fully justified. The lists also provide fascinating personal information about the reformers, including the many women who took part and who suffered disproportionately at the hands of the military and police. Michael Bush provides detailed listings of every known casualty - a most useful tool for genealogists as well as local historians - and draws highly significant new conclusions that will resonate loudly with all those interested in Britain's slow and painful march towards political democracy. Fine/Fine.

CHARLTON, WILLIAM

Being Reasonable About Religion

Ashgate Publishing Limited. 2006. Hardcover. Book, 2006, Very Good Condition, Hardcover + Dustjacket, 170pp When we start to discuss religion we run into controversial questions about history and anthropology, about the scope of scientific explanation, and about free will, good and evil. This book explains how to find our way through these disputes and shows how we can be freed from assumptions and prejudices which make progress impossible by deeper philosophical insight into the concepts involved. Books about religion usually concentrate on a few central Judaeo-Christian doctrines and either attack them or defend them with tenacious conservatism, yielding nothing. This book has a broader scope, and instead of trying to prove that religion, or any particular religion, is reasonable or unreasonable, it seeks to persuade people to be reasonable about religion. Fine.

GOOCH, JOHN

Army, State and Society in Italy 1870 - 1915

London, MacMillan. 1989. Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, Good Condition, Hardcover + Dustjacket, 218pp Synopsis: This title in the series on 19th and 20th century military, naval and air history provides fresh interpretations of existing material and covers strategic, diplomatic, economic and financial issues. After the Unification of Italy, the Italian army faced the tasks of making and defending the nation. Increasingly preoccupied with domestic disorder at home it also struggled to create defences against hostile European powers. At the same time it fought two major colonial wars, and in one of them, suffered a catastrophic and ignominious defeat. Finally in 1915 it entered a war for which it was ill-prepared and in course of which it almost broke. Focusing particularly on the theme of professionalism, this book examines the problems faced by the army during these years, and helps to explain its later receptivity to Fascism. John Gooch has been editor of the "Journal of Strategic Studies" since its foundation and is Chairman of the Army Records Society. Very Good/Very Good.

Friends and Rivals in the East : Studies in Anglo-Dutch Relations in the Levant from the Seventeenth to the Early Nineteenth Century

Leiden, Brill. 2000. Hardcover. Book, 2000, As New, Hardcover, 258pp This volume, based on both European and Ottoman sources, investigates the commercial, military and diplomatic relations between the Dutch and the English in the Levant from the early seventeenth to the early nineteenth century. On the one hand there was a more or less constant commercial rivalry and there were moments of outright military hostility between the two powers. On the other a common life in the Near East led to a form of solidarity which transcended the political situation in the home countries. The role of the local population of the Levant, of Ottoman officials, and of the Greeks, Armenians and other eastern Christians who intervened both as merchants and as embassy dragomans or interpreters, was often decisive in influencing the dealings between the Dutch and English residents. The nine papers examine these different aspects of a relationship which has never before been studied in a Levantine context. Fine.

The Iceberg in the Mist: Northern Research in Pursuit of a "Little Ice Age"

Kluwer Academic Publishers. 2001. Hardcover. Book, 2001, Very Good Condition, Hardcover, 263 pp THE ''LITTLE ICE AGE'': LOCAL AND GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES P. D. JONES and K. R. BRIFFA Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, Norwich, NR4 7TJ, UK. This volume of Climatic Change is devoted to the study of the climate of the last 1000 years, with a major emphasis on the last few centuries. The timespan encompasses what has been referred to as the ''Little Ice Age'' (Bradley, 1992). This term was originally coined by glaciologists, with reference to the most recent major glacial advance of the Holocene (Bradley and Jones, 1993). Although other such advances in different parts of the world may not have been synchronous, the term ''Little Ice Age'' has come to be associated with the period of a widespread foreward movement of European glaciers between about 14 50 to 1850, as well as with relatively cooler temperatures. The issue of whether or not this concept is appropriate, is a major theme of many of the papers included in this volume. Near Fine.

The Image of the Judaeo-Christians in Ancient Jewish & Christian Literature

Mohr Siebeck. 2003. Hardcover, with dust jacket. Book, Very Good Condition, Hardcover + Dustjacket, 340pp Wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen Zum Neuen Testament, 158 This conference volume draws the ancient Judaeo-Christians from the obscurity to which they are confined in prevailing historical approaches. To that aim, the evidence from both Jewish and Christian sources is interpreted by scholars of Judaism, theology, archaeology and history. The essays explore the impact of the Jewish wars against Rome, early Christian observance of Jewish commandments; anti-Judaeo-Christian polemics in the New Testament; the importance of Peter, James, and other relatives of Jesus in (Judaeo-) Christian tradition; the Judaeo-Christian affiliations of Ebionites, Elkasaites, and Gnostics; and evidence concerning Judaeo-Christians from an archaeological site in the Land of Israel, from rabbinic literature, and from the Toledot Yeshu. The volume concludes with observations on present-day Messianic Jews and Christian missions to the Jews in the post-Shoa era. Very Good/Very Good.
