Some foxing to top edge. Near fine condition. "Sandy Gall, who is best known for his reporting of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, has taken up the cause of the Bushmen. His interest in their plight dates back to the 1950s and 1960s when he was working as a foreign correspondent for Reuters; in 1998 he visited the Central Kalahari for the first time. His book celebrates the culture of these unique people, their amazing affinity with and knowledge of the natural world; and their resilience and sense of humour. He has portrayed many fascinating individuals who have been involved, for good or ill, in their tragic history and their present predicament. Here, for the first time, is the full story of the slaughter of an innocent people. The Bushmen of Southern Africa speaks not only for the Bushmen but for…

Fine condition. "By now, almost two hundred editions of Cranford have appeared, and though I doubt if it is read as widely as it once was, or loved so universally - and what classic of the nineteenth century is? - it still has a loyal and devoted following, and acquires new readers every time it is re-issued. Many attempts have been made to account for its longstanding place in the hearts of the reading public, as will always be the case with a popular classic, and there have been many interpretations and explanations and academic dissections of the text. Cranford has been many things to many people. ... But although it has serious points to make, and indeed is at heart a deeply serious book, Cranford is first and foremost a work of…

Description:
---. Extracted from Celebrities of the Army, edited by Commander C.N. Robinson, R.N., and published in fortnightly sixpenny parts, in London, by George Newnes, circa 1900. 'At a time when all eyes are turned to the operations of our troops in South Africa, those who are responsible for the organisation of our forces at home, and their conduct in the field, are much in the public mind. This series of CELEBRITIES OF THE ARMY will present its chiefs and leaders in a very vivid manner. ... the public craves to know more of the men whom it trusts, and to whom it looks to accomplish its will. They will be shown in this series, in a manner that is at once striking and altogether new, by admirable portraits in colours and life-like presentments of character in the text.' The page measures 37 x 27.5 cms, and the image area (not including the caption), measures about 25 x 19 cms. A brief career and character sketch of the subject appears on the reverse of the portrait. One leaf only, folio. .

"If racial peace, harmony, forgiveness, reconciliation, justice, equality, and all the rest can come to be in South Africa after Apartheid and all that went before, why can't it happen everywhere? it was asked. That was then, the mid-1990s, in the immediate aftermath of South Africa's first multiracial elections. Now, during the 2000s, more and more people both inside and outside the country are beginning to see the Republic of South Africa as shaping up to be more of a big disappointment or a sad shame than a miracle. White, Black, Coloured and Asian people didn't all suddenly come to love each other with the death of Apartheid and coming to power of a multiracial political party." .

Merest trace of foxing to flaps and prelims. Near fine condition. All you need to know about roses in southern Africa. "There are virtually no areas in southern Africa (or anywhere else in the world, for that matter) where roses can flourish without some effort being expended on them, although it is true to say that more effort is required in some areas than in others. In writing this book, therefore, the main aim has been to bring about a better understanding of the various factors that ultimately determine success or failure in growing beautiful roses. Essentially, by providing sound information about their proper care, the author illustrates that growing beautiful roses need never be labelled either 'hard work' or 'difficult'." .

Our understanding of the dynamics of international and domestic politics of states that experience deliberate isolation and ostracism, is clouded with controversy and ideological special pleading. The comparative nature of the analysis introduces a welcome note of dispassion into our understanding of the reasons for, manner and consequences of, the isolation of any single state. Geldenhuys continues an imaginative analytical framework with sound empirical investigation in an attempt to devise a practical and reliable instrument for evaluating the extent of a state's isolation. As a respected scholar living in one such state, South Africa, he distinguished himself in…
