From the dust jacket: "Deep in a tomblike cavern along the ocean floor lies a secret that has remained hidden from humanity. Until now. . . An Oilstar drilling rig off the coast of Venezuela in the Dragon's Mouth channel has pierced an underwater cavern and brings to the surface four stones unlike anything on this earth. Frik Van Alman, the tough-as-nails maverick head of Oilstar realizes immediately that they represent an extraordinary opportunity . . .and a terrible danger. His superstitious native crew, already uneasy working in the infamous waterway, refuse to dive in search of a fifth stone, and when Frik's lab chief tests them, the results confirm Frik's hunch: when these four stones are connected they hint at a power source that could revolutionize the world's energy production. And, Frik realizes, such a revolution would put him and all other oil companies out of business. Before he can plot his next move, his lab chief Paul Trujold, fearing the greed and calculation in Frik's eyes, sends the stones to safer hands. One of the stones lands in the hands of Paul's daughter, Selene Trujold, the leader of an ecological action trying to halt Frik's drilling and the damage it's causing to the Caribbean ecology. Frik and Trujold meet in the lab after Paul has sent away the stones, and an accident badly burns them both, killing Paul before Frik can find out what he's done with the find. Desperate to reclaim the stones and determined to find the fifth piece of the puzzle, Frik enlists the aid of the Daredevils Club, a select few risk-taking thrill seekers of whom Frik is one, who meet every New Year's Eve to compare bold new stories of the past year's exploits. Their members are a disparate bunch, including a doctor, Arthur Marryshow, whose greatest risk is healing those who risk their lives in political hotspots; Ray Arno, a stuntman turned demolitions expert; Simon Brousseau, an expert deep-sea diver; and Joshua Keene and Terris McKendry, a bickering best-buddies tandem experienced in undercover operations requiring strength, expertise with weapons, and nerves of steel. At the next New Year's Eve meeting, Frik proposes a mission: collect all five stones and return them to him. Along with the rest of the daredevils is Peta Whyte, Marryshow's protegé, not officially a member, but more than qualified by her role in planning and effecting Arthur's escape from prison on her native Grenada sixteen years before, when she was but sixteen. She attends in Arthur's place, for he's been killed, victim of a terrorist bombing just blocks from their Times Square rendezvous. The Daredevils embark on an adventure that takes them along the coast of Venezuela, from stealth jungle raids to deep-sea dives, from the haunts of Latin American power brokers to the camp of eco-terrorists. A fast-paced, thrill-a-minute hunt challenges the loyalties of the daredevils, as they become pawns in a deadly game of deceit and betrayal. After all the adrenaline rushes and spilt blood, the remaining members of the Daredevils Club gather once again on the following New Year's Eve, this time in Las Vegas, for one final confrontation, as Frik slips the five stones into place. . . as the unthinkable is created.".

Excerpt: The history of economic thought deals with different thinkers and theories in the subject that became political economy and economics from the ancient world to the present day. It encompasses many disparate schools of economic thought. Greek writers such as the philosopher Aristotle examined ideas about the 'art' of wealth acquisition and questioned whether property is best left in private or public hands. In medieval times, scholars such as Thomas Aquinas argued that it was a moral obligation of businesses to sell goods at a just price. British philosopher Adam Smith is often cited as the father of modern economics for his treatise The Wealth of Nations (1776). His ideas built upon a considerable body of work from predecessors in the eighteenth century particularly the Physiocrats. His book appeared on the eve of the Industrial Revolution with associated major changes in the economy. Smith's successors included such classical economists as the Rev. Thomas Malthus, Jean-Baptiste Say, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill. They examined ways the landed, capitalist and labouring classes produced and distributed national output and modeled the effects of population and international trade. In London, Karl Marx castigated the capitalist system, which he described as exploitative and alienating. From about 1870, neoclassical economics attempted to erect a positive, mathematical and scientifically grounded field above normative politics. After the wars of the early twentieth century, John Maynard Keynes led a reaction against what has been described as governmental abstention from economic affairs, advocating interventionist fiscal policy to stimulate economic demand and growth. With a world divided between the capitalist first world, t. 204 pp. Englisch.

Profusely illustrated with color photographs and black-and-white photographs. "Looking back on the year 1968 from a distance of 40 years, it is striking to recall its sense of out-of-control acceleration. Shocking events piled up, one after the other, leaving no time for reflection or understanding. Before the year was half over, Americans had been rattled by the Tet Offensive in Vietnam, by President Lyndon Johnson's stunning decision to relinquish power, by battles between police and students on the campus of Columbia University -- and, most of all, by the assassination of two great symbols of hope, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert F. Kennedy. The rush of events never let up: in August Russian tanks cracked down on the liberating Prague Spring in Czechoslovakia, while in Chicago young protesters chanted "the whole world is watching" as cops busted heads in the streets. In November Americans reacted to the turmoil, as the "silent majority" of voters chose Richard Nixon -- and his platform of law and order -- as President. December brought a welcome, graceful coda to a memorable year, when three U.S. astronauts orbited the moon on Christmas Eve, reading from the Book of Genesis. This volume, featuring new interviews with many of the key figures of the time, captures all the intensity of a raucous, dizzying era of change, when the soundtrack was Jim Morrison, Aretha Franklin and the Beatles; the movies of the year were The Graduate and 2001: A Space Odyssey; and such potent new forces as Black Power, feminism and the counterculture were shaking up both America and the world in ways that continue to reverberate four decades later." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Three silver gelatin photographs, sepia tinted, sized 11 x 14.25 in., w/ photographer's imprint in lower fore-edge of negative of 2, pencil annotations on versos of two, with two of three printed on thick glossy photo paper, third on thinner glossy paper stock, w/ 2 very small perforated ownership stamps (minor shelfwear, rubbing, edgewear), still VG set. These three photographs document logging crews and operations following World War I for the largely forgotten Luedinghaus Lumber Co. based out of Dryad, Washington in Lewis County, subsidiary of the Duncan Lumber Co. based in Portland, OR. In the 1920's, under the leadership of Texan George Duncan (1872-1945), the Duncan Lumber Co. was a fast expanding timber company, sawmill operation, and logging railroad. A Spanish-American War veteran, he had served as a Captain and later a manager with the Kirby Lumber Co. and Continental Lumber Co. in Houston, TX, before moving to Portland in 1912. By 1913, he had organized the Duncan Lumber Co. and took over ownership of the Luedinghaus Bros. Lumber Co. in Dryad WA as well as the Meskill Lumber Co. in Meskill, WA. In 1919, the Duncan Lumber Co. also secured all of the sawmill, railroad, and timber holdings of the companies. The first image reveals a Luedinghaus Lumber Co. Climax geared locomotive, with some of the boiler manufacturing plate identification number lost to depth of field focus, but clearly detailing Climax & Corry, PA as manufacturing site; the second although titled "Lausinghaus Lumber Co., Dryad, WA" was mislabeled by one of Clark Kinsey's dark room processors, and depicts one of the company's Shay Locomotives, No. 2 in this case, and negative no. 47, with author's imprint below caption; and finally the third, K57A, depicts a proud Luedinghaus Co. logger standing next to a giant cedar log, about 12-14 feet in diameter, with his crosscut saw embedded in the bark. Kinsey (1877-1956) first practiced photography with his brothers Darius and Clarence, and during the Yukon Gold Rush operated a studio in Grand Forks. Shortly before World War I he began documenting logging and milling camps across the Pacific Northwest, shooting over 50,000 images before retirement in 1945. His logging photos possess remarkable clarity and detail, because he largely shot with a 11 x 14 in. view camera, and unfortunately on very unstable nitro-cellulose film stock so only a percentage survive. George Duncan's company did not survive the Great Depression, and by 1940 he was working as manager for the West Coast Lumber Co. in Corvallis, OR. Harry Duncan was divorced by his wife Dorothy Nathalie Sorg (1910-2006) in 1942, and later remarried continuing to work in other lumber firms in the Oregon and California. We could locate only 3 similar Kinsey images of the two different locomotives, and no holdings of "K57A." See: Clark Kinsey and the Documentation of the Pacific Northwest Logging Industry, Photograph Collection, University of Washington Libraries; West Coast Manufacturers' Consolidation Adds to Portland's Important Industries, American Lumberman, Part 2 (Nov. 29, 1919), pp. 53-54, 75-78; A.E.

First edition of Goldmann's magnum opus, one of the most important and substantial studies of South African gold mines. Sydney Goldmann (1868-1958), an uitlander of German-Jewish descent, made his fortune in gold mining; he later served as a Boer War correspondent for The Standard alongside Winston Churchill, before entering the House of Commons as a Unionist MP from 1910 until 1918. He first published a study of South Africa's gold mines in 1892, his history of the Witwatersrand companies, which met with a favourable reaction from the investing public both in Europe and South Africa. He followed this with the present, vastly expanded work; richly illustrated, it offered investors the most detailed study to date of South African mines, at a time when there was a rush of capital to the region in the hope of rapid wealth, and only a few years before the question of the gold mines would trigger the Boer War. Provenance: founded in May 1773, the Birmingham Assay Office is one of four such offices in the UK responsible for assaying (testing) and hallmarking precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, and palladium). Its establishment was a product of the growth of large scale manufacturing and the use of machines for silver production in Birmingham and Sheffield during the 1770s. The Office's library is particularly rich in works on metallurgy, mining, and design, but also includes books on chemistry, alchemy, numismatics, and horology. 3 volumes, large octavo. Original dark purple cloth, spines and front covers lettered in gilt, covers panelled in blind with decorative cornerpieces, black endpapers, top edge dark purple. Vol. 1 with 4 folding and 4 full-page plates, 1 of each coloured. Vol. 3 (plate vol.) with 99 plates, most folding and coloured. Tables throughout. Errata slips to pp. 112 and 120 of vol. 2, card ruler inserted into rear pastedown pocket of vol. 3 ("Scale for Farms 100 [and 150] Cape Roods to the Inch"). Small circular library stamp of the Assay Office Birmingham to front free endpaper versos, contemporary gift inscription to vol. 2 front free endpaper, "Ted from Eve", dated 1895. Spines and tops of covers sunned, ends and corners bumped and lightly rubbed (some loss to vol. 1 headcap, short nicks to others, a few water spots to vol. 3 foot), vol. 1 inner hinges only cracked but firm; small closed tear to lower edge of vol. 3 plate 29 and a few others with tiny tears to creases near gutter, but otherwise the plates in excellent condition; a few instances of faint soiling, overall the contents crisp and clean. A very good copy.
