Clarke, Patricia A. (& Pinner Local History Society)

Pinner, Hatch End, North Harrow and Rayners Lane: A Pictorial History (Pictorial history series)

Phillimore & Co Ltd,, Chichester, West Sussex, 1994. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Black Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9780850338980 b/w. frontis. map of Pinner Parish circa 1900; titles; list of illustrations & introduction to front. Pinner was a rural Middlesex village when the camera came into general use, 150 years ago, with a population of little more than a thousand. A Pictorial History gave Pinner Local History Society unrivalled access to old photographs that had previously languished unseen in private collections. Descendants of families which once lived here have also been inspired to ransack cellars and attics and the results of these searches are published here for the first time. Showing historical people, places and events, they offer the starkest and most immediate reminder of the Pinner our ancestors knew. In the century and half that has passed since the invention of photography the former country village has grown into the modern London suburb. The changes have been captured by the camera, and old photographs illustrate vividly just what has remained and what has changed in the High Street and in the hamlets such as East End, West End and Hatch End. They show how Pinner came to be distinguished by the hills, trees and parks which make it such a desirable place to live today, and how historical events impacted on the life of the community.

Dragonflies (New Naturalist 106)

Collins, London, 2008. First Edition, Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780007151684 Dragonflies are among the most ancient of living creatures - few insect groups fascinate as much or are more immediately recognisable. In this seminal new work, Philip Corbet and Stephen Brooks examine the behaviour, ecology and distribution of dragonflies in Britain and Ireland, placing emphasis on the insects' habitats and also on measures needed to conserve them. Published in 1960 - with Philip Corbet as contributing author - volume 41 of the New Naturalist series provided the first in-depth study of the biology of British dragonflies, helping to inspire many people to take an interest in these intriguing insects. In this new volume, Corbet has teamed up with Stephen Brooks, offering a fascinating new outlook on the natural history of dragonflies. The authors have combined their knowledge and experience to help illuminate the relevance of British dragonfly species, placing them in the overall context of natural history from a broader, worldwide perspective. Illustrated with beautiful photography throughout, New Naturalist Dragonflies explores all aspects of the biological significance of dragonfly behaviour, thus revealing the beauty and hidden complexity of these powerful, agile, flying predators.

Climbing Mount Improbable

Viking, London, 1996. First Edition, Softcover, Illustrated by: Lalla Ward. Good Condition. 9780670850181 Climbing Mount Improbable is a 1996 popular science book by Richard Dawkins. The book is about probability and how it applies to the theory of evolution. It is designed to debunk claims by creationists about the probability of naturalistic mechanisms like natural selection. The main metaphorical treatment is of a geographical landscape upon which evolution can ascend only gradually and cannot climb cliffs (that is known as an adaptive landscape). In the book, Dawkins gives ideas about a seemingly complex mechanism coming about from many gradual steps that were previously unseen. First Thus. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xi + 308.
