London, England: Garden Book Club, 1960. Gardens are more than places in which to grow plants. A plot of grass and a few borders do not make a garden of character. It is the extra touch, the added features, the design, which makes it different, individual, a place to be appreciated, explored and enjoyed. You may feel you do not possess an eye for design in the garden. This is a 'do-it-yourself' book. With the spice of features the garden becomes a place of beauty and interest. The cost can be negligible - the old stone sink, the stonemason's 'junk' the basis of an arch or a sundial, any old stones and bricks. Even a 'pocket handkerchief' can soon be a landscape. 24 photographs and 14 line drawings. Illustrated. Some marks to back cloth. Slightly bumped bottom corners. Some wear to D/J.(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… Read More

London England: Weidenfeld & Nicolson. Hardback. First Edition. Price clipped to D/J. In this book the author presents a broad historical survey of capitalism. While the accumulation of capital has been its major task - through the ownership of capital by the business class, linked with technological progress - its nature has profoundly changed. Science and warfare have taken charge. Capitalism has lost Russia and China, and its survival in the two-thirds of the world that it now controls depends on the fact that it is based on the physical sciences. The bureaucratisation of capitalism, which gives the state such power, rests partly on the development of a vast military and scientific apparatus - a completely different basis from the capitalism of earlier centuries. John Vaizey's essay ranges from Ancient Greece to China, from medieval Europe to contemporary North America. He has illustrated his theme with examples from many different societies so that the essence of the capitalist revolution… Read More
