Christian Egypt: Coptic Art and Monuments through Two Millennia

The American University in Cairo Press, 2002. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9789774246753 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages; bright unclipped jacket. Almost as new.

This book is the result of a comprehensive examination of the archaeological studies and historical literature of Coptic Christian monasteries and churches, supported by photographs and architectural drawings, as well as many colour plates. In it, Gawdat Gabra shares his knowledge of contemporary archaeological activity and the most recent consensus regarding the dates and other questions concerning churches and monasteries. The contributions of Otto Meinardus and Marie-Helene Rutschowscaya offer comprehensive surveys of the 2000-year history of the Coptic Church and of the artistic expression of the Coptic world. 272 pages.

For the Love of Israel & the Jewish People SIGNED/Inscribed

URIM PUBLICATIONS, 2008. Hardcover. Near Fine Condition/Fine. 9789655240108 Inscribed by Author. SIGNED by the author and inscribed to the previous owners. Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages, slight age spotting to endpapers, bright clean jacket. The unique, almost mysterious connection between the land of Israel and the Jewish people is at the heart of this remarkable collection of essays. Author Nathan Lopes Cardozo addresses questions such as How is it that contrary to all the laws of history, the Jewish people outlived so many powerful empires? How has such a tiny nation been able to make an unprecedented contribution to the well-being of all of humankind? Why did the Jewish people become a source of endless irritation to those who opposed their ethical teachings? and How can the State of Israel rediscover its Jewish identity as the source of its greatest blessing and hope? As he explores these issues, Lopes Cardozo explains how the Jews, even in their exile, were able to develop almost a portable homeland, taking the spirit and the concept of Israel with them wherever they went. 327 pages.

Sarah Chaney

Psyche on the Skin: A History of Self-Harm

Reaktion Books, 2017. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Very Good. 9781780237503 Firmly bound, clean unmarked pages; sellotape repair to top front corner of jacket, creasing to rear top edge. Psyche on the Skin charts the secret history of self-harm. The book describes its many forms, from sexual self-mutilation and hysterical malingering in the late Victorian period, to self-castrating religious sects, to self-mutilation and self-destruction in art, music and popular culture. Sarah Chaney's refreshing historical approach refutes the notion that self-harm has any universal meaning - that it necessarily says something specific about an individual or group, or that it can ever be understood outside the historical and cultural context of a particular era. Drawing on her personal experiences, written in an engaging style and containing many powerful images, Psyche on the Skin challenges the misconceptions and controversies surrounding self-harm.The book is crucial reading for professionals in the field as well as all those affected by this act. 320 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Medicine & Health; ISBN/EAN: 9781780237503. Inventory No: dscf11435.

Beth Chatto's Gravel Garden: Drought-Resistant Planting Through the Year

Frances Lincoln, 2000. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9780711214255 Firmly bound,. clean unmarked pages; price-clipped jacket. The story of how Beth Chatto created her gravel garden on 'possibly the driest, and the most windswept, piece of soil in England' has a message of hope for gardeners everywhere. At the outset she promised herself: 'This garden was not to be irrigated in times of drought. Once established the plants must fend for themselves or die.' The results, eloquently described by the author and beautifully portrayed in Steven Wooster’s specially commissioned photographs taken through the seasons, testify to the triumphant outcome of the adventure. Showing how her principles can be applied on any scale, this book is an essential read for any gardener facing water shortages and poor soil. Rich with hard-won tips and expressed in Beth Chatto’s matchless style, this is a gardening classic. 192 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Gardening; ISBN/EAN: 9780711214255.
