A valuable catalogue with very detailed descriptions. Includes sections on "Pattern Books and designs" and "Elevations and Views".From a bookseller's advertisement: "The 'Berlin Catalogue' has long been one of the few really indispensable reference books for whoever was interested in the earlier illustrated books on architecture, perspective, decoration, gardens, fortification, fireworks and a host of more or less related subjects. The collection the catalogue described suffered heavy losses during World War II, but has since been brought up to strength again..As a pilot venture for an eventual re-styling of the whole catalogue, Dr Fischer has re-catalogued one particular section of the library's collection: the English books on architecture and decoration, pattern books, cottage books and the like. She described about 125 titles published before about 1820, in great detail - with collations, references, notes on other editions, and a discussion of the position and relevance of the book within the framework of Its period, subject and author. The result is a monumental work, which bears little resemblance to its 'original' except in retaining the some numbering.

New old bookstore stock. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To a young Jane Jacobs, Greenwich Village, with its winding cobblestone streets and diverse makeup, was everything a city neighborhood should be. The activist, writer, and mother of three grew so fond of her bustling community that it became a touchstone for her landmark book The Death and Life of Great American Cities. But consummate power broker Robert Moses, the father of many of New York's most monumental development projects, saw things differently: neighborhoods such as Greenwich Village were badly in need of urban renewal. Notorious for exacting enormous human costs, Moses's plans had never before been halted: not by governors, mayors, or FDR himself, and certainly not by a housewife from Scranton. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The epic rivalry of Jacobs and Moses, played out amid the struggle for the soul of a city, is one of the most dramatic and consequential in modern American history. In Wrestling with Moses, acclaimed reporter and urban planning policy expert Anthony Flint recounts this thrilling David-and-Goliath story, the legacy of which echoes through our society today. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first ordinary citizens to stand up to government plans for their city, Jacobs and her colleagues began a nationwide movement to reclaim cities for the benefit of their residents. Time and again, Jacobs marshaled popular support and political power against Moses, whether to block traffic through her beloved Washington Square Park or to prevent the construction of the Lower Manhattan Expressway, a ten-lane elevated superhighway that would have destroyed centuries-old streetscapes and displaced thousands of families and businesses. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like A Civil Action before it, Wrestling with Moses is the tale of a local battle with far-ranging significance. By confronting Moses and his vision, Jacobs forever changed the way Americans understood the city, and inspired citizens across the country to protest destructive projects in their own communities. Her story reminds us of the power we have as individuals to confront and defy reckless authority. Heavy books or multi-volume sets will require additional postage.

"Beginning with spring training in the ninth grade and culminating with a monumental game at the end of his senior year, this engaging novel charts the development of Neil Larson, or Bull, as both a baseball player and a young man. Nicknamed for his stocky build and hard-nosed attitude on the field, Bull is devoted to baseball. And the author clearly knows the game, too. Its dynamics, as played on the high school level, are perfectly delineated, making me wonder if Carter possibly has some coaching experience. At any rate, baseball fans will relish the exciting game descriptions and the evocation of a team maturing over a four-year span of big wins and tough losses. Not all of life's ups and downs occur on a baseball diamond, however, and the novel is elevated by its unblinking portrayal of Bull's personal travails off the field. He lives with his grandfather in a small Wisconsin town while his mother chases the big bucks in glitzy Los Angeles. A buddy and teammate is persistently beaten by his father, goes out with the girl Bull has always loved, and dies tragically in a car crash. And the pro scouts who watch Bull's best friend play ignore Bull, shattering a lifelong dream the two have shared. Baseball fans certainly will enjoy this, and I hope fans of quality writing will step up to the plate, as well.
