London England: Papermac, 1989. Paperback. Very slight foxing to end inside covers. For some fifteen years, the author's book has been established as the undisputed 'good hide guide' to the best birding sites in the British Isles. While birdwatching has become an ever more popular hobby since the book first appeared, so there have been many changes in Britain's bird populations and distribution. The author has kept careful track of these changes and the many new locations of important bird interest. Now he has completely revised his original book to offer this thoroughly up-dated book. In these pages you will find all the best places to watch the most interesting birds from the Channel Islands right up to Orkney and Shetland. Each site entry lists the birds to be seen there in each season of the year, with full details of location, travel, access, footpaths, permist, and - where applicable - times of opening. John Gooders' lively and expert text is illustrated with invaluable maps, fully indexed and accompanied by a list of useful addresses. 224 pp. (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 Literature.) .

A copy that has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.The spine remains undamaged. In 1995, Iowa native Bill Bryson took a motoring trip around Britain to exp lore that green and pleasant land. The uproarious book that resulted, Notes from a Small Island, is one of the most acute portrayals of the United Kin gdom ever written. Two decades later, Bryson--now a British citizen--set ou t again to rediscover his adopted country. In these pages, he follows a str aight line through the island--from Bognor Regis to Cape Wrath--and shows u s every pub, stone village, and human foible along the way. Whether he is dodging cow attacks in Torcross, getting lost in the H&M on Kensington High Street, or--more seriously--contemplating the future of the nation's natural wonders in the face of aggressive development, Bryson guides us through the old and the new with vivid detail and laugh-out-loud humor. Irreverent, endearing, and always hilarious, The Road to Little Dribbling is filled with Bill Bryson's deep knowledge and love of his chosen home., Knopf Doubleday Publishing G., 2018, 3, US: Crown, 1999. Paperback. Good. Galveston, Texas, 1900. Reports of a storm in the Gulf of Mexico are relaye d to Isaac Cline, chief observer of the new Weather Bureau. But storms stay out at sea and veer East to run parallel to the coast normally. This one d idn't ... Isaac Cline was confident of his ability to predict the weather: he had new technology at his disposal, 'perfect science', and, like America itself, h e was sure that he was in control of his world, that the new century would be the American century, that the future was man's to command. And the coas tal city of Galveston was a prosperous, enthusiastic place - a jewel of pro gress and contentment, a model for the new century. The storm blew up in Cuba. It was, in modern jargon, an extreme hurricane - and it did not circle around the Gulf of Mexico as storms routinely did. On 8 September 1900 it ploughed straight into Galveston. It was the meteorological equivalent of the Big One. It was to be the worst natural disaster ever to befall America to this day: between six and ten thousand people died, including Isaac Cline's wife and unborn child. With them died Cline's and America's hubris: the storm had simply blown them away. Told with a novelist's skill this is the true story of an awful and terrible natural catastrophe., Crown, 1999, 2.5, Tor. As New in As New dust jacket. 2002. First Edition. Hardcover. 0312864566 .
