For too long we have been subjected to doom and gloom in our daily diet, and it may come as a complete surprise to discover that many familiar fruit and vegetables are, in fact, powerful plant medicines. The author contacted over 400 doctors, research units and experts in disciplines raning from medicine to agriculture to pharmacognosy during the reseach for this book. Time and again she found that the latest scientific findings on a particular fruit, herb or vegetable confirmed the long-established folk medicine uses. These facts are presented in an A-Z format in an easy-to-read style without jargon. In each individual entry any special medicinal qualities are highlighted, with a description of the latest research, constituents, brief history, folk use and application by qualified herbalists and homeopaths.

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. Ramsay MacDonald is still a scapegoat figure for some sections of the British labour Party, a cosialist leader betrayed by his own pedantry and gentlemanliness, who had misled the movement and should thereafter serve as a warning to loyalists. Bernard Barker's selection from MacDonald's political writings does not deny the central compromise that the first Labour prime minister made, but it does show how far MacDonald was not a deviationist but in the mainstream of British socialist theory and immensely influential, even to this day, within the Labour Party. This volume contains lengthy passages from Socialism and Society, published in 1905, Socialism, published in 1907 and Socilaism: Critial and Constructive, published in 1921, and short extracts from parliament and Revolution and Parliament and Democracy, published in 1919 and 1921. Bernard Barker's introduction shows the extent to which MacDonald rejected Marxist and revolutionary solutions in favour of an educational socialism bent on making industry more efficient. beacuse of this, he though less of poverty, class discrepancies and the antagonism between capitalism and labour than of the cultivation of a right-minded technological expansion. As the editor argues, this led to the abandonment of revolution and a real critique of capitalism in an attempt to humanize the existing economic machine. That dilemma still confronts the Labour movment in Britain. 259 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. We know that climate change is happerning. We know that it could, if the worst predictions come true, destroy the conditions which make human life possible. Only one question is now worth asking: can it be stopped? In this book the author shows that it can. For the first time, he demonstrates that we can achieve the necessary cut - a 90 per cent reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 - without bringing civilization to an end. Combining his unique knowledge of campaigning and environmental science, he shows how we can transform our homes, our power and our transport systems. But he also shows that this can happen only with a massive programme of action which no government has yet been prepared. This book also contains a breathtaking new exposure of the corporations trying to stop us from taking action. Inspiring, original blazing with energy, this book should change the world. 277 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Cloth. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardcover. First Edition. Not Quite the Diplomat. Home Truths About World Affairs. In 1997, Chris Patten, the last Governor, left Hong King on board the royal yacht Britannia before flying back to London with his family and 'prosaically ending the British Empire in the queue for a taxi at Heathro'w Terminal Three. I was back home after five years to a political landscape totally transformed by New Labour's poltical sorcery and the Conservative Part's stupidity'. This book describes what has been happening in Britain, Europe and the world since 1997 from the perspective of one at the heart of international events.In examining how we got to where we are, he writes frankly about many of the major players and what happened behind closed doors; his sketches of world leaders - including Chirac, Putin, Clinton, Bush and Blair (a man who 'has convictions to which he holds strongly - while he holds them') - and of key moments are done with the brush of a master portraitist. In arguing about where we should be, he writes with the directness of a man freed at last from the bonds of diplomatic restraint.

Cloth. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Slight foxing to top edge. This book is a brilliant short account of the relations between Islam and Christianity from the time of Muhammad to the Reformation, by one of England's leading medieval historians. The author shows how, despite long periods of co-existence and overlap, religious misunderstanding between 'the peoples of the book' has been present since their earliest encounters. He argues that though there were fruitful trading and cultural interactions between Islam and Christianity during the period when Arabs controlled most of the Mediterranean world, each viewed the other's religion as fundamentally different. Christians portrayed Moslems as bloodthirsty pagans and Muhammad as a false prophet, while Islam saw Chrstianity as a jumble of sects and conflicting stories. In Fletcher's words: 'Christiand and Moslem lived side by side in a state of mutual religious aversion. Given these circumstances, if religious passions were to be stirred up, confrontation would probably be violent'. Fletcher's lucidity, scholarship and gift for compression make this one of the most readable as well as one of the most clear-sighted contributions to its subject for many years. He makes no moral judgements or easy generalizations, leaving readers to draw their own conclusions and explore the implications for our own time. 183 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

Soft cover. Condición: Good. 2nd Paperback Edition. mark on cover from old labelAfter an immense but useless bombardment, at 7.30a.m. on 1 July 1916 the British Army went over the top and attacked the German trenches. It was the first day of the Battle of the Somme, and on that day the British sufferd nearly 60,000 casualites, two for every yard of their front. The casualties exceeded not only the entire infantry strength of the present British Army but the combined battle casualties of the Crimean, the Boer and the Korean wars. With more than fifty times the daily losses at El Alamein and fifteen times the British casulaties on D-Day, 1 July 1916 was the blackest day in the history of the British Army. But, more that that, as Lloyd George recognised, it was a watershed in the history of the First World War. The Army that attacked on that day was the volunteer Army that had answered Kitchener's call. It had gone into action confident of a decisive victory. But by sunset on the first day on the Somme, no one could any longer think of a war that might be won. After that it was a struggle that had simply to be endured. And something more than confidence had vanished. Innocence could survive no longer. If the First World War is the beginning of modern history then 1 July 1916 is the most crucial day in that change.

Cloth. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Wars and Shadows. Very slight shelf wear to top edge of D/J. This exceptional memoir by one of Britain's most distinguished living soldiers describes a life lived against the backdrop of the most significant military events of the last century. The author was raised in a military family deep in the shadow of the First World War. He absconded from school to enlist at the earliest possible moment after the Second was declared. He was intimately involved afterwards in crises in Suez, Cyprus and Malaya, and eventually became Vice Chief of the General Staff. At the heart of this book is Fraser's account of the Second World War from the point of view of a young officer in the Grenadier Guards. This book is one of the last notable memoirs of the great conflict in the middle of the last century. It evokes the lives and characters of many of those who fought - and, often, lost their lives - vividly and tenderly.
