Clanship, Commerce And the House of Stuart 1603-1788by Allan MacInnesISBN 1898410240 (1-898410-24-0)
Softcover, Tuckwell Pr Ltd
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Clanship, Commerce And the House of Stuart 1603-1788'Book summary:This is an appraisal of clanship both with respect to its vitality and its eventual demise, in which the author views clanship as a socio-economic, as well as a political agency, deriving its strength from personal obligations and mutual service between chiefs and gentry and their clansmen. Its demise is attributed to the throwing over of these personal obligations by the clan elite, not to legislation or central government repression. The book discusses the impact on the clans of the inevitable shift, with the passage of time, from feudalism to capitalism, regardless of the "Forty Five". It draws upon estate papers, family correspondence, financial compacts, social bonds and recorded oral tradition rather than the biased records of central government. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Consuming Passions: Food in the Age of Anxiety'Book summary:Descartes is to blame. For centuries his tag "I think therefore I am" has dominated our notion of ourselves and the world; that the mind is what counts seems to be the message of Cartesianism, the body could fend for itself. What people thought has been central to academic study, what they ate was considered marginal and insignificant. But the picture is changing. Food, after all is fundamental. Critics in English literature are beginning to theorize about the significance of food in texts, "edible ecriture" as Terry Eagleton calls it. Historians chart the relationship between what we eat and how we live. Sociologists deconstruct the family meal. Psychiatrists ponder the inexorable rise of eating disorders. Philosophers construct the moral frameworks for ethical eating; and scientists work with social scientists as killer diseases, food borne, sweep the country. This book unites scientists, social scientists and those working in the humanities in a call for food to be studied more in universities across disciplines--and for those involved in its study no longer to be marginalized.[via]More editions of Consuming Passions: Food in the Age of Anxiety:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Death of a Hero'Book summary:Of all the deaths in Northern Ireland's troubled history, few have aroused more controversy than that of British Army Captain Robert Nairac. In 1977, he was abducted outside a South Armagh pub, driven over the border to the Irish Republic, then interrogated and executed by the IRA. But what was he doing alone in a notorious Republican stronghold? Was he linked with an SAS shoot-to-kill policy? Was he betrayed? Crucially, where's his body?
Parker, a veteran Fleet Street journalist, has a string of investigative works to his bow including the bestselling Inside Story of the Special Boat Service, and seems well qualified to examine the mystery of Nairac's undercover operations. Drawing on new first-hand evidence from senior Army and SAS sources, he pieces together Nairac's final days in a fresh, compelling narrative, dispelling many of the conspiracy theories that have fermented over the past 20 years.
Parker's account, however, cannot be considered conclusive for much of the evidence he puts forward is contradictory. But what does come over very well and surprisingly is the man himself--a Catholic golden boy, Oxford educated, recruited by military intelligence--"A romantic and a bit of a Loner" who loved the country he spied on, who passionately believed he could help heal the sectarian divide and bring peace. Included are eight pages of photos, many of them grainy, but this only adds resonance to the story--family and school snapshots of a remarkable man who lived and died in a remarkable way. --Jim Rickards [via]

The Face of the Nazareneby Noel TrimmingISBN 1901157903 (1-901157-90-3)
Softcover, St Augustine Pr Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Face of the Nazarene'Book summary:This dramatic and involving story is also a profound meditation on the Lord of the Millennia: Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. It charts the impact of Christ on some of the people who knew him, in the hectic circumstances of their everyday lives.
In Trimming's last book, Abigail and the Widow Mary, the focus was on the impact which Jesus had on children, and the story was told from their perspective. This time Trimming turns his attention to the house at Bethany, the home of Jesus's close friend Lazarus. As the tragic and glorious events of the last six months of Jesus's ministry unfold - from the raising of Lazarus to the Ascension - Martha and Mary and the other members of Lazarus's household have their lives changed forever by their encounter with the Master.
The Biblical record, the cultural milieu and the historical background have all been extensively researched, and Trimming's deeply moving story is charged with a startling freshness and immediacy. [via]

The Heiresses of Buccleuch: Marriage, Money, and Politics in Seventeenth-Century Britainby Maurice LeeISBN 1898410496 (1-898410-49-6)
Hardcover, Tuckwell Press
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Heiresses of Buccleuch: Marriage, Money, and Politics in Seventeenth-Century Britain'Book summary:This is the true story of what happened to two very wealthy heiresses in a society where money, not love, dictates marriage. Mary and Anna Scott were the daughters of Francis Scott, Earl of Buccleuch, who died in 1651 when they were small children, leaving an estate with the largest income in Scotland. They each inherited this fortune because Mary, the elder, died first and childless. This book tells of their marriages, their husbands and their ultimate destiny. It is also the story of their father, their much-married mother, Margaret Leslie and their wicked and greedy uncles, continually scheming to lay hands on their fortune. Other major players include Anna's father-in-law King Charles II, General Monck, who restored Charles to his throne, Oliver Cromwell and his son Richard, and the Earl of Lauderdale, iron-fisted dictator of Scotland, with innumerable politicians, both English and Scottish, in supporting roles. Played out against the background of a strife-torn Scotland in the 1650s, and then of the uncertain calm and sexual permissiveness of Charles II's restored monarchy, this is a story of money and the pursuit of money, of marriages, of family quarrels, aristocratic chicanery and political intrigue of all kinds. Maurice Lee Jr is the author of "Government by Pen: The Scotland of King James VI and I", "The Road to Revolution", "Scotland Under Charles I: 1625-1637" and "Great Britain's Solomon: King James VI and I in His Three Kingdoms".

› Find signed collectible books: 'Irish and Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939'Book summary:The outbreak of the Spanish Civil War threw Irish politics, north and south of the border, into turmoil. Tragic events in Spain aroused emotive responses across the spectrum of Irish society. In contrast to most other communities of the British Isles, citizens of the Irish Free State were mainly pro-Franco. But many on the left felt a strong identification with the plight of the Republic. Ireland sent large organized bodies of men to fight on opposite sides in the Spanish Civil War. The International Brigade volunteers were led by the IRA warrior, Frank Ryan. Their rivals, who became a battalion of Franco's Foreign Legion were mostly members of the semi-facist Blueshirts, and were commanded by the ex-leader of that movement, General Eoin O'Duffy. In late 1936, two enemy crusades - Communist and Catholic - left Ireland to fight it out in Spain. This book, illuminated by personal histories, tells the story of what happened to those two sides. Starting with their eventful journey to Spain, it follows their footsteps across the battlefields of Spain. [via]

K Foundation Burn a Million Quidby Chris BrookISBN 1899858377 (1-899858-37-7)
Softcover, Ellipsis London, Limited
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'K Foundation Burn a Million Quid'Book summary:In the early hours of the 23 August 1994, in a boathouse on Jura, off the west coast of Scotland, the trustees of the K Foundation, Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty burned the assets of the foundation - 1 million pounds in 50 pound notes. The money was the result of Drummond and Cauty's enormously successful ventures in pop music, first as the Justified Ancients of Mu Mu (the JAMs), then as the Timelords, and latterly as one of the most successful bands of the late 1980s and early 1990s, the KLF. After disbanding the KLF in 1992 Drummond and Cauty set up the K Foundation. Their best-known foray into the art world was the presentation of 40,000 to Rachel Whiteread for the worst body of art of 1993. Whiteread had been awarded the 20,000 Turner prize a few days earlier. The burning of the 1 million was filmed and a year later Drummond and Cauty returned to Jura to show the people of the island the film and to inaugurate a series of screenings and discussions - all in an attempt to understand just what the K Foundation had done. Was it art? What was the morality of the burning? Was it a publicity stunt? ? This book is a further exploration of the act, with film stills and a selection of the statements, letters and verbal responses of those attending the screenings and associated activities. [via]

Harmful magic is then described, how this overlapped with folk belief, the diabolic pact and elite thought, and the horrors of witchcraft prosecutions in the 16th and 17th centuries. Also included is a section on sacred sites, museums, and other places of interest which can be visited, and there are many illustrations, a map, and a full index. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Virgin: A History of Virgin Records'Book summary:Richard Branson was the publisher of a small alternative music magazine in London in the early 1970s when he founded Virgin Records with his partner Simon Draper. Together they recruited and developed new talent in the UK's burgeoning music scene, signing and producing bands such as The Sex Pistols. They also recognized the importance of world music, releasing records by John Lee Hooker, Peter Tosh, and many other blues and reggae artists. Eventually Virgin would grow to be a worldwide music phenomenon, with platinum performers such as Roy Orbison, Devo, Genesis, Keith Richards, Janet Jackson, Culture Club, Lenny Kravitz, The Smashing Pumpkins, and more on their hit list. Virgin: A History of Virgin Music was written in part by the late great 20th-century literary icon Terry Southern, with candid commentaries throughout by Branson, Draper and Virgin/EMI CEO Ken Berry on the Virgin artists and the evolution of the record label. Featuring hundreds of rare publicity photos, album covers, candid snapshots and quotes, this is a hectic ride through Virgin's hallowed past and a cool archive of a unique period in 20th-century music history.
