WILLIAM ADDISON (I8o2---I88I) survives obscurely in histories of medicine today as a fore-runner of Cohnheirn in describing the outward passage of white blood cells through the intact walls of small blood-vessels during the inflammatory process. Based on a thorough survey of relevant English, French and German medical and biological literature of the mid-nineteenth century, as well as on an analysis of all of Addison's writings, this book presents a quite different picture of his role. Addison was involved peripherally in two of the revolutions of biological science that took place in the nineteenth century, the first when the `fibre' theory of plant and animal structure yielded to the cell theory as originally… Read More

Dick Blenkinsop was born in Warwick in 1930 and his early interest in railways did not mature until after the Second World War. He is emphatic that, while his favourite railway is the Great Western, any steam locomotive, both here and abroad, has its own fascinating appeal for him. A trained engineer, he has restored a 1938 steam roller and is now working on a 1920 Garrett steam motor tractor. Amongst his other interests is listening to good music.

When an accident with an open oil lantern set the American clipper Hornet alight in 1866, the 31 passengers and crew were forced to abandon ship. Cast adrift in three small lifeboats, they had less than 10 days rations to share between them. They were over 1000 miles from the nearest island. Over the next six weeks they were to encounter every danger the Pacific could throw at them. They were attacked by sharks and swordfish. They endured storms, and even tornadoes. Their hunger became so intense that they resorted to eating their clothes, and later, half-mad from the effects of drinking sea-water, were driven to the edge of cannibalism. A FURNACE AFLOAT tells the story of their 4000-mile voyage through the eyes of three men, who kept… Read More

No ownership inscription. 182 pages, index, clean and tight. In the summer of 1945, the squadrons of the mighty United States Air Force flew away from Britain after playing their part in the greatest air offensive of all time in the war against Nazi Germany. Three years later the Americans were back, making preparations to confront a new threat - the growing military power of their former ally, Soviet Russia. They have remained on British soil ever since, often amid much public debate. In this first history of the USAF in Britain, Robert Jackson argues that - without the presence of this great war machine - Europe might not have survived in freedom during the crucial years of the 1950s and 60s. Strike Force is a complete account of the United States Air Force in Britain since 1948, from… Read More

In 1970 Laura (Riding) Jackson published with Faber her "Selected Poems: in five sets", presenting a clutch of poems readers for the first time in the three decades since she renounced poetry, an act which challenges her readers still. In 1980 a new edition, with an important introduction, of the 1938 "The Poems of Laura Riding" was published by Carcanet. The poet said: "My work poetic and other, early and later - has no allegiances, private, social, cultural. The point of it is, not "modernism" but "What Further?". In 1993 "First Awakenings: The Early Poems" added substantially to the "oeuvre". Now poet, critic and novelist Robert Nye, long time advocate of the poems, makes this substantial new introductory selection. .
