Into the wild: Journey into the world of Peter Beard (1938-2020) Photographer, collector, diarist, and writer of books Peter Beard has fashioned his life into a work of art; the illustrated diaries he kept from a young age evolved into a serious career as an artist and earned him a central position in the international art world. He was painted by Francis Bacon and painted on by Salvador Dalí, he made diaries with Andy Warhol and toured with Truman Capote and the Rolling Stones—all of whom are brought to life, literally and figuratively, in his work. As a fashion photographer, he took Vogue stars like Veruschka to Africa and brought new ones—most notably Iman—back to the U.S. with him.
After spending time in Kenya and striking up a friendship with the author Isak Dinesen (Karen Blixen) in the early 1960s, Beard bought a piece of land near hers. He witnessed the dawn of… Read More

A very fine copy. Fitted with a custom dust jacket protector.The dazzling ceramics of Clarice Cliff and of the Wilkinson Pottery that first encouraged her work in the 1920s are among the best of many fine achievements of the renowned Staffordshire Potteries in the English Midlands.

Near fine copy. No markings. The theft, trafficking and falsification of cultural property/heritage are crimes of a particularly complex nature, that often have international ramifications and signifi-ant economic consequences. Organised criminal groups of various types and origins are involved in these illegal acts. The book Crime in the Art and Antiquities World contains both contributions from researchers specialising in the illegal trafficking of art as well as contributions from representatives of international institutions involved with prevention and detection of cultural property related crimes, such as Interpol and UNESCO. In the back of the book is an Annex that includes the existing legal texts, i.e. international treaties, conventions, resolutions, etc. which do not yet exist in a single volume. This makes it a unique and useful reference for scholars and private and public bodies alike.

Near fine. No marking."In recent years the study of consciousness has moved well beyond the borderlands of the popular press and pseudoscientific writing, to become an important field of scholarship in its own right. It now increasingly permeates many disciplines such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, and medicine. In this book, one of the first scholarly works on consciousness to specifically address the fields of social psychology and sociology, and for the first time richly addressing gender issues, Professor Alexander Walker gives us a fine review and a textbook on the influences of consciousness studies in these as well as other scholarly disciplines.'
-Allan Leslie Combs, Professor of Consciousness Studies at the California Institute of
Integral Studies, USA

Near fine. No marking."Through the Black Mirror is a superb collection of insightful essays examining one of the twenty-first century's most culturally significant television shows. Intellectually and philosophically exciting throughout, its critical readings of each of Black Mirror's twenty episodes locate the series in its contemporary cultural context. The collection is consistently thought-provoking and an excellent resource for anyone interested in speculative fiction, television studies or the themes depicted in Black Mirror's dark and unsettling reflections."
