Now owned by the National Trust, the Castle receives hundreds of visitors a day, a financial necessity but increasingly a strain on its fragile environment. When Adam Nicolson went back to live in his grandparents' house, he was determined to return Sissinghurst to the idyllic but working and sustainable estate he remembered from his childhood. But his plans met with great resistance.## Interspersed with fascinating discoveries about the estate's history and moving recollections of his family, Sissinghurst is Nicolson's passionate account of his struggle to reconnect garden, farm, land and business, and is now updated to follow the first full year of his quest to bring the heart back to Sissinghurst.### #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note.

The World at War 1939-1945. .f wear to edges This is a study of the greatest and most terrible event in history, which shows its impact upon hundreds of millions of people around the world - soldiers, sailors and airmen; British housewives and Indian peasants; SS killers and the citizens of Leningrad, some of whom resorted to cannibalism during the city's two-year siege; Japanese suicide pilots and American carrier crews.l Reflecting Max Hasting's thirty-five years of research on the Second World War, this book describes the course of events during the war, but focuses chiefly upon human experience, which varied immensely from campaign to campaign, cintinent to cntinents. Hastings emphasises the Russian front, where more than ninety per cent of all German soldiers who perished met their fare. He argues that, while Hitler's army often fought in battles brilliantly well, the Nazis conducted their war effort with 'stunning incompentence'. He suggests that the Royal Nacy and US Navy were their countries; oustnadingf fighting services, while the industrial contribution of the United States was much more important to Allied vistory than that of the US Army. This is 'everyman's story. It is an attempt to answer the question: 'What was the Second World War like?' and also an overview of the big pictuee. Max Hastings employs the technique which has made many of his previous books best-sellers, combining top-down analysis and bottom-up testimony to explore the meaning of this vast conflict both for its participants and for posterity.

Cloth. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. Hardcover. First Edition. Consuming Passions. Leisure and Pleasure in Victorian Britain. Date written neatly to inside cover. Price clipped to D/J. This book tells the fascinating story of how, over two centuries, leisure became an industry, offering a cornucopia of entertainment for a new mass audience, as demand was fuelled by newspapers, by advertising, by publicity - all eghteenth century creations. Josiah Wedgwood invented money-bnack guarantees and celebrity endorsements; in the following century Charles Harrod and Gordon Selfridge aggressively extended the possibilities of marketing and publicity for their department stores. The seaside and tourism, newspapers and novels, concerts, museums and shopping arcades - all part of the new consumer world. From Aston Villa#s origins in a Sunday-school to Thomas Cook's temperance tours, from Asquascutum to W. H. Smith, the author reveals how, building on revolutions in science, technology and industry, an entirely new world was created, a world of thrilling new shopping sensations, lavish spectacle and wild theatricality - the world , in fact, of today. Illustrated. 604 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, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
