ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1980). 1980 1st edition. 4to (190 x 252mm). Pp208. Colour plates, maps, illustrations, fawn end-papers. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Minor faults (inscription / slight browning) but good-plus in slightly used, price-clipped dust-wrapper. ".The salmon fishing on these rivers is renowned - and rightly so: in spite of drift-netting at sea and heavy overfishing of the Atlantic feeding grounds, the salmon still run in their thousands into the headwaters to complete their life-cycle. Only constant vigilance by landowners, local authorities and anglers will ensure that this natural cycle continues. This book is divided into two sections: the first part describes the rivers themselves, their characteristics, the nature of their course and their history. The narrative is spiced with snatches of songs, poems and character sketches, including accounts of some epic contests between fish and men from years past. The second part provides guidance for the angler on fishing the rivers - the author is well qualified to provide this, having devoted his life to angling for salmon and having achieved fame as one of the great salmon fishers of his generation. Nobody knows more about these four rivers than John Ashley Cooper. He has fished many beats on each river and known their pools for 45 years. This book is a most valuable introduction to the best Scottish waters for the first-time visitor and occasional salmon angler, as well as a source of pleasure and instruction for the more experienced fisherman." .…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 23-53 pages with cited references. Quarto (11" x 8 1/4") bound in original publisher's stapled wrappers. current Anthropology Volume 37 Supplement complete issue. First edition. Applied anthropology in the United States emerged as a mixture of New Deal humanitarian liberalism and progressive industrial management ideology and in Britain as a humanitarian advisory function of colonial administration in Africa. In both countries applied practitioners were subjected to considerable ideological criticism during the 1960s and '70s. In the US Case, one manifestation of this critical approach was Sol Tax's populist-inspired action anthropology, which renounced the employment of practitioners by government or any large organization in favor of voluntary academic projects engaging in intensive intervention in the problems and needs of local communities. The approach did not prevail, but its ideas continue to simulate interest Meanwhile, applied anthropology was undergoing attenuation as cultural anthropology proliferated into "institutional anthropologies." the significance of these subfields (eg educational anthropology) was that they replicated the approach of sociology and economics: social scientific intervention as a normal part of the institutional activities of modern society. the basic problem in fitting anthropology for practical application was the preoccupation of the discipline with tribal (not contemporary urban-industrial) society.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. "American Mural Painters " by Arthur Hoeber, was published in 1914 by The Mentor Department of Fine Arts as Serial No. 67. This essay was then bound in a large collection of disparate articles similar to a Sammelband. The essay, a stand-alone piece, illustrated with sepia toned pictures, was disbound and the spine covered. It is not a definitive article, because of its brevity, but it touches on a considerable number of important artists that had been working in the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth century. The tone is genial and the essay is informative. There are fourteen monochrome pictures through the text and six full page, loose illustrations done in sepia. The pictures through the text are discussed, and each plate illustration is given a full page explanation (this done on the reverse of each specific picture - so that when viewed , the text opposite is for the preceding picture - lest one be confused when viewing the pictures provided above - the essay, when originally issued, was presented with text and pictures lying loose within a wrap. The monograph was issued with the sepia gravures sitting loose (unbound). The pictures through the text are interesting, representing some of the finest mural work that had been done. One that stands out is a work consisting of three Panels by Maxfield Parrish, depicting a Florentine Fête. Hoeber, himself, was a highly accomplished artist, specializing in landscapes. The six full sized sepia 'gravure' pictures are as follows : ** Return of the Battle Flags - by Edward Simmons ** The Apotheosis of Pennsylvania by E. A. Abbey ** The Beneficence of the Law - by Kenyon Cox ** Hosea - Detail - by John Sargent ** Detail of the Anthony Drexel Memorial Chancel by E. H.
