Description:
(Cape Town: Howard Timmins, 1956). 8vo; original green boards; pictorial dustwrapper; pp. xi + (i) + 227; plates. Dustwrapper torn and edgeworn, with loss; earlier owner's name signed on front free endpaper; tape marks to endpapers; some moderate foxing and browning. Good. "The story of the 1955 South African Cricket Tour of England reads almost like a fairy tale. Two Tests down and three to go; it seemed for all the world that the Series was safely in the hands of the England Team. How the South African side levelled the Tests, and almost snatched a victory in the deciding match, is graphically told in this book. No one knows the background of this Tour better than the author, who has given more than just an insight into the matches played. The calls made upon the tourists off the field, travel incidents and all the inside happenings of their five-month tour, have been recounted in a forthright manner." .

Description:
(Berkeley: University of California Press, 1932). 270 x 180 mm; printed wrappers; pp. (vi) + 93; plates, two of which in colour, maps and figures, incl. folding table. Wrappers sunned, with slightly curled edges; spine extremities chipped; lower wrapper a little creased. Very good internally; good overall. "The study here presented is based on observations in Sinaloa and Nayarit during the winter and spring of 1930. One of the purposes of the reconnaissance was to get evidence on the existence or non-existence of a prehistoric corridor between the Mexican highland and the Pueblo country of the American Southwest. We knew that Pueblo sites extended on a wide front to and across the Mexican boundary of Arizona, and had seen in 1928 Mexican items farther south, such as a finely carved double-headed serpent in steatite at Suaqui on the upper Yaqui river." - from the Introduction .

Description:
(London: Arlington Books, 1987) 0851407099. 8vo; original blue boards, lettered in silver gilt on spine; price-clipped laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. (x) + 428, incl. index; plates; maps. Dustwrapper partially sunned and a bit foxed; some foxing to edges, occasional fox spot elsewhere. "As he reveals, the impact of Cook's voyages to Antarctica not only affected the history of science and political economy, but also inspired such works as Melville's Moby Dick and Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner. The tragedy of Scott's polar expedition after Cook, was to herald a new age of modernism in art and science. By exploring such areas of thought and imagination Stephen Pyne finds a context for evoking and understanding the ice itself. As a study of the polar region and a history of discovery and exploration the book is indispensable. It is an all-encompassing guide to a continent which remains the ultimate symbol of the natural world." .

"Identiteit en Verandering is 'n bundel van sewe opstelle met as tema die identiteit van die Afrikaner vandag, verandering in die Afrikaner-gemeenskap en sy verhouding tot ander volksgroepe. Dit is saamgestel uit referate wat in Maart 1974 vir 'n werkgroep-bespreking van die Sentrum vir Intergroepstudies aan die Universiteit van Kaapstad gelewer is. Die skrywers toon aan dat die prosesse van verandering lank reeds op elke vlak in die Afrikanergemeenskap inwerk.
Identiteit en Verandering gee betekenisvolle insigte in die samebindende kragte in die Afrikaner-gemeenskap, maar ook in die problematiek vir die Afrikaner vanweë prosesse van maatskaplike verandering. Uiteindelik stel dit die leser voor…

"Hierdie stuk is in 1964 vir die eerste keer geskryf, pas nadat ek 'Pa maak vir my 'n vlieër Pa' voltooi het. Daar was net twee karakters op die verhoog, Paps en Mams, en 'n lyk op die vloer. Gedurende 1967 het ek die stuk herskryf, sonder die lyk, maar met Dinges as derde karakter. En weer het die teks 'n paar jaar bly lê. In 1971 het ek die teks drasties hersien en in 1973 is 'Iemand om voor nag te sê' deur TRUK op die planke gebring met Francois Swart as regisseur en Siegfried Mynhardt (Paps), Tine Balder (Mams) en Louis van Niekerk (Dinges) in die rolverdeling." - Chris Barnard .
