Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Life on the Mississippi in the heyday of the steamboat lives in our imaginations through the artistry of Mark Twain, Edna Ferber, and Hollywood films, or perhaps a glimpse of a salvaged riverboat living out its last years as a theme restaurant. Surely the Mississippi steamboat era is among the most colourful and romantic in our history. But what was it really like, beyond our secondhand notions of stalwart river pilots, wayward boys and runaway slaves, of gamblers in tall hats and ladies in hoopskirts, of cotton, cakewalks, and carpetbaggers.This extraordinary book of recently discovered photographs, taken by a father and son who were professional photographers in Natchez, Mississippi, brings us for the first time a stunning array of images of steamboat life as it really was - from its glory days in the post-Civil War era to its demise in the years immediately following World War I.The photographers are Henry Norman and his son Earl. With boundless enthusiasm and curiosity, and the consummate skills of pictorial artists, they captured the beauties and rigors of a half-century of life on the Mississippi. Their priceless legacy has been preserved by Joan and Thomas Gandy, who recently acquired the extremely rare and valuable negatives and here present a collection of 170 of the most spectacular and arresting photographs of steamboat life.Together with an extremely informative text, replete with detailed information and fascinating anecdotes, the photographs make up a splendid account of the major steamboats that plied the great waterway and their essential social and economic role in river life. Vivid, beautifully composed images of stately ships, luxurious interiors, shipboard life, picturesque river towns, busy landings, paddle wheelers laden with cotton and other cargoes, and the disasters that claimed so many of these proud craft, comprise a stunning firsthand account of a long-lost - but now accurately, lovingly recaptured - way of American life. 170 rare and valuable photographs of Mississippi River and its vessels: major steamboats, luxurious interiors, passenger portraits, cargoes, mail boats, capsized ships, much more. Informative text. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Rowling's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The first session of the sale is devoted to Private Press and Illustrated and Related Drawings and Watercolours. There is a good selection of Kelmscott and Ashendene Presses being particularly well represented, including a copy of the Kelmscott Chaucer. There are good books illustrated by Arthur Rackham, including a copy of The Ingoldsby Legends with an inscription and a fine watercolour drawing by the artist; a copy of Kay Nielsen's Andersen Fairy Tales in the dust jacket, and a selection of books and portfolios with evocative etchings of Scotland and the North by Norman Ackroyd. Children's books range from a fine archive of correspondence from Beatrix Potter to one of her shepherds, Joseph Moscrop, to letters by the Reverend W. Awdry on Thomas the Tank Engine. There is a huge collection of Lewis Carroll material including letters, a large working bibliographical collection of editions of his works, and a good collection of biographies and bibliographies; A.A. Milne is represented by vellum copies of Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, various editions of J.K. Rowling's books, signed and proof copies included in the sale; an unrecorded issue of Thomas Boreman's great miniature book Curiosities in the Tower of London and a rare edition of Krylov's Russian fables, published in I855. The drawings arid watercolours include a unique oil painting of Winnie-the-Pooh by E.H. Shepard, a fine album of drawings by Kate Greenaway, watercolours by Arthur Rackham for Rip van Winkle, The Tempest and other books, a group of watercolours and ink drawings by Lancelot Speed illustrating King Arthur and a small group of illustrations from the George Harrap Archive. . [There is] a selection of continental illustrated books featuring the work of artists such as Joan Miró, Salvador Dali, Marc Chagall and Franz Marc, to name but a few. Two seminal books are featured in the session that over time have become almost cult objects: André Breton;s Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme, Lot 194, with its irreverent wrappers by Marcel Duchamp, inviting the reader into the body of the text and an inscribed copy of Kandinsky's Artists Text, Lot 205, published in 1918 at the height of his powers as an abstract artist. The sale is also notable for its wonderfully rich array of fine bindings, featuring the work of master craftsmen such as Paul Bonet, Pierre Lucien Martin and Bozerian jeune. The bindings range from early armorial exampîes to striking modern compositions such as Lots 206 and 384. The third session begins with a strong scientific section, featuring a rare collection of phrenological material, Lot 615. Lots 621-740 are devoted to Mathematics. Highlights include the first edition of Tartaglia's Trattato, Lot 732, possibly the most important Italian mathematical work of the sixteenth Century. This session culminates with a variety of maps, travel and natural history books. Lots 741-768 provide a good selection of English road books and atlases. Lots 855-876 are devoted to Russia and feature a rare first edition of the earliest book in English on the country, presenting Giles Fletcher's somewhat unflattering description of the place and its inhabitants, Lot 859. The sale concludes with a private collection of books on Central Asia, the Middle East and Falconry. Of particular interest are Pierre Harmont's Le Miroir de fauconnerie, (Lot 992) and Salvin's Falconry in the British Isles, (Lot 997) with its striking hand-coloured plates of these majestic birds. A few notes and marks to text, 1 or 2 corners folded, otherwise Very Good.

OTTIME CONDIZIONI GENERALI, LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO, TRACCE DI LETTURA. All'inizio dell'Ottocento, Thomas Malthus prevedeva che l'incremento demografico incontrollato avrebbe portato l'umanità al disastro. Romanzieri come Charles Dickens descrivevano le terribili condizioni di vita delle classi lavoratrici, donne e bambini compresi. Le leggi dell'economia e del capitalismo, si diceva, portavano inevitabilmente ingiustizia, miseria, malattie. Da allora, i grandi geni dell'economia - Karl Marx, Joseph Schumpeter, Alfred Marshall, John Maynard Keynes, Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, Paul Samuelson, Amartya Sen - si sono impegnati a salvare l'umanità da questo terribile destino. Sylvia Nasar descrive la loro straordinaria avventura intellettuale, ricordando che il loro lavoro ha cambiato la vita di gran parte dell'umanità. L'immaginazione economica racconta l'epopea dei paladini della "scienza triste", che sono riusciti a immaginare un mondo migliore: più prospero e più giusto per molti, se non (ancora) per tutti.

Culminating in the Quarrel of the Ancients and Moderns, this was a confrontational, transitional time for the reception of the classics. Helena Taylor explores responses to the life of the ancient Roman poet, Ovid, within this charged atmosphere. To date, criticism has focused on the reception of Ovid's enormously influential work in this period, but little attention has been paid to Ovid's lives and their uses. Through close analysis of a diverse corpus, which includes prefatory Lives, novels, plays, biographical dictionaries, poetry, and memoirs, this study investigates how the figure of Ovid was used to debate literary taste and modernity and to reflect on translation practice. It shows how the narrative of Ovid's life was deployed to explore the politics and poetics of exile writing; and to question the relationship between fiction and history. In so doing, this book identifies two paradoxes: although an ancient poet, Ovid became key to the formulation of aspects of self-consciously 'modern' cultural movements; and while Ovid's work might have adorned the royal palaces of Versailles, the poetry he wrote after being exiled by the Emperor Augustus made him a figure through which to question the relationship between authority and narrative. The Lives of Ovid in Seventeenth-Century French Culture not only nuances understanding of both Ovid and life-writing in this period, but also offers a fresh perspective on classical reception: its paradoxes, uses, and quarrels.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A key way that behavioral ecologists develop general theories of animal behavior is by studying one species or a closely related group of species--''model systems''--over a long period. This book brings together some of the field's most respected researchers to describe why they chose their systems, how they integrate theoretical, conceptual, and empirical work, lessons for the practice of the discipline, and potential avenues of future research. Their model systems encompass a wide range of animals and behavioral issues, from dung flies to sticklebacks, dolphins to African wild dogs, from foraging to aggression, territoriality to reproductive suppression.Model Systems in Behavioral Ecology offers an unprecedented ''systems'' focus and revealing insights into the confluence of personal curiosity and scientific inquiry. It will be an invaluable text for behavioral ecology courses and a helpful overview--and a preview of coming developments--for advanced researchers. The twenty-five chapters are divided into four sections: insects and arachnids, amphibians and reptiles, birds, and mammals.In addition to the editor, the contributors include Geoff A. Parker, Thomas D. Seeley, Naomi Pierce, Kern Reeve, Gerald S. Wilkinson, Bert Hölldobler and Flavio Roces, George W. Uetz, Michael J. Ryan and Gil Rosenthal, Judy Stamps, H. Carl Gerhardt, Barry Sinervo, Robert Warner, Manfred Milinski, David F. Westneat, Alan C. Kamil and Alan B. Bond, Paul Sherman, Jerram L. Brown, Anders Pape Møller, Marc Bekoff, Richard C. Connor, Joan B. Silk, Christopher Boesch, Scott Creel, A.H. Harcourt, and Tim Caro and M. J. Kelly.

Six volumes, 12mo, pp. xxvi, 238, *169-*238, 239-316 (text continuous despite eccentric pagination); [ii], 404; [ii], 444; [ii], 504; [ii], 527; [ii], 476, [4] advertisements; with a 36pp. advertisement catalogue for Longman publications, dated February 1812, at end of last volume; some browning, and marginal tears; title page to volume IV rather damaged; an ex-library copy from Folkestone Public Library, with library borrowing labels inside each volume; rather a battered copy, in late-19th century half sheep, plain paste boards (spine to volume V partly defective). First edition of a famous collection of biographies of women by Mary Hays (1759-1843), feminist, writer and friend of radicals such as Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin. The subjects of Hays's biographies range from Dido, Queen of Carthage, right up to Charlotte Corday, and encompass women as various as Joan of Arc, Katherine of Aragon, Anne Wharton, Christina Queen of Sweden, Isabella Sforza, Sarah Fielding and Sappho. As Hays says in her introduction: 'Suffice it to observe, that my book is intended for women, and not for scholars; that my design was, not to surprise by fiction, or to astonish by profound research, but to collect and concentrate, in one interseting point of view, those engaging pictures, instructive narrations, and striking circumstances, that may answer a better purpose than the gratification of a vain curiosity' (I p. vii).
