The Forbidden Experiment: The Story of the Wild Boy of Aveyronby Roger ShattuckISBN 1568360487 (1-56836-048-7)
Softcover, Kodansha Amer Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Forbidden Experiment: The Story of the Wild Boy of Aveyron'Book summary:On a cold morning just a few days into the year 1800, the citizens of the southern French village of Saint-Sernin awoke to a strange vision: a hairy boy, naked, who appeared as if by some witchcraft from the nearby woods. Captured while digging up vegetables from a tanner's garden, the boy did not--could not--speak. Instead, he emitted a few weird cries, trying to hide himself from his puzzled captors.
The next day, the gendarmes took the boy to a hospice in a nearby town. From there, writes the historian and literary scholar Roger Shattuck, his path took this "prisoner without a crime," now called Victor, into the studies and laboratories of revolutionary France, where the boy presented a rare homegrown instance of Rousseau's "noble savage" to the civilized world. Much scholarly and scientific debate surrounded him. Finally, Victor, now famed as the "wild boy of Aveyron," came under the care of a sympathetic young doctor who concluded that Victor was in fact an abandoned deaf-mute, intelligent but forlorn, who had somehow been able to survive on his own. Dismissed in a contemporary encyclopedia as "half wild" and "incapable of learning to speak in spite of all efforts to teach him," Victor was eventually forgotten. "A state pension kept him alive, like an animal in a zoo," writes Shattuck, "and when he died no one noticed." Scientific debate about his condition was renewed from time to time, however, and the story of the wild boy was influential in the development of several theories of language learning and human evolution. Shattuck's slender narrative is a fine work of scholarly detection, yielding an instructive episode in the history of science. --Gregory McNamee [via]

Great Heart: The History of a Labrador Adventureby John Rugge, John West DavidsonISBN 1568361688 (1-56836-168-8)
Softcover, Kodansha Amer Inc

› Find signed collectible books: 'Great Heart: The History of a Labrador Adventure'Book summary:In 1903 Leonidas Hubbard was commissioned by an outdoors magazine to explore Labrador by canoe. Joined by his best friend, Dillon Wallace, and a Scots-Cree guide, George Elson, Hubbard hoped to make a name for himself as an adventurer. But plagued by poor judgment and bad luck, his party turned back and Hubbard died of starvation just thirty miles from camp. Two years later, Hubbard's widow, Mina, and Wallace returned to Labrador, leading rival expeditions to complete the original trek and fix blame for the earlier failure. Their race made headlines from New York to Nova Scotia-and it makes fascinating reading today in this widely acclaimed reconstruction of the epic saga. The authors draw on contemporary accounts and their own journeys in Labrador to evoke the intense drama to men and women pushed beyond the limits of endurance in one of the great true adventures of our century.

Isabel of Burgundy: The Duchess Who Played Politics in the Age of Joan of Arc, 1397-1471by Aline S. TaylorISBN 1568332270 (1-56833-227-0)
Hardcover, Madison Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Isabel of Burgundy: The Duchess Who Played Politics in the Age of Joan of Arc, 1397-1471'Book summary:Portuguese princess Isabel married Philip the Good of Burgundy in 1429, a time when the powerful Duchy of Burgundy teetered on the brink of becoming a kingdom separate from France. From her marriage until her death in 1471, this remarkable woman rebelled against the social constraints of her time and played a major role in international negotiations on behalf of Burgundy; after mediating several crucial conferences, she sealed a series of trade agreements with England, her chosen ally, despite the pro-French sympathies of her husband and other members of his court. In Isabel of Burgundy, author Aline Taylor tells the dramatic story of Isabel's battle against the pro-French faction in Burgundy and its network of spies, her support of English monarch Edward IV during the Wars of the Roses, and her attempts to gain a crown for her adored son Charles. A true-life historical drama, Isabel of Burgundy is a story of pageantry and royal splendor, plots and counter-plots, betrayals, an uprising led by Joan of Arc, and devastating warfare. It is also the personal account of a woman, wife, and mother, and the tragedies she faced as she tried to keep her family together. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Logic of American Politics'Book summary:For all their complexity, there is a logic and rationale embedded in American institutions and political processes. Now in its second edition, Logic of American Politics is a refreshingly accessible and engaging book that explores this underlying logic and leads readers toward a more nuanced and sophisticated understanding of American government.
The Logic of American Politics poses many provocative questions that encourage readers to think critically and actively about our system of government. For example, why do so many citizens fail to exercise their cherished right to vote? Or, why don't we do more to stop pollution from cars, since we all agree on what causes it and that it is harmful?
The Logic of American Politics covers all the important topics from constitutional development to governmental institutions to political processes. The book is written as a narrative but is designed for easy reference. The text is supplemented by abundant illustrations throughout: tables, figures, maps, cartoons, and photos. [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Off the Map: The Curious Histories of Place-Names'Book summary:How did the names of countries, cities, rivers, mountains, and entire peoples originate? Why do some names -- like the Red Sea, which is not red at all -- miss the target? The answers are in this armchair adventure that takes the reader through the history of place names, from the time of Ptolemy to the breakup of Yugoslavia.
Native names are only part of the fascinating story of Off the Map, an amusing, fact-filled book that recharts geography and human history through the eyes of intrepid seafarers, arrogant imperialists, feuding neighbors, and bumbling tourists. "Cartography is 20 percent geography and science", states author Derek Nelson. "The other 80 percent is ignorance, myth, greed, the arbitrary, impulsive, and ironic, further snarled in history and politics". With Off the Map, the four corners of the globe (a biblical phrase that resulted in the belief that the earth was square) will be re-discovered. [via]

There are 1,025 known species: it is a native of the snows of the Himalayas and the swamps of the Carolinas, the jungles of Borneo and the island inlets of Japan. It is also one of the oldest of plants - many believe the dove that returned to Noah's ark was carrying a rhododendron sprig - although it has been known to western horticulture for only 300 years. The curious history of Westerners and rhododendrons is full of swashbuckling plant collectors and visionary gardeners, colonial violence and ecological destruction, stunning botanical successes and bitter business disappointments. And it is here related with consummate skill by Jane Brown, an English garden writer clearly besotted by these "glorious and scented strangers, with their mouth-watering candy colors, their cascades of way bells or iridescent globes proffered in ruffs of green leaves."
From its origins fifty million years ago to its arrival in England in the early 1600s; from its export from America by John Bartram in the 1760s to its vigorous collection by Harvard's Arnold Arboretum in the 1870s; from the foundation of the British Rhododendron Society in 1915 to the genetically engineered hybridizations of the early 21st century: this is the sweeping and exciting botanical epic that Jane Brown provides in this remarkable book. She achieves exactly what she sets out to do - "to construct a history of the genus Rhododendron that pays tribute to the mystery and majesty of these plants" - and does so with a scholar's thoroughness and the anecdotal skill of an enthralling entertainer.
