Hardback. New., 6, 1996. London, Barn Elms Publishing, 1996. 21 cm x 21 cm. 56 pages. Original softcover. Excellent condition with only very minor signs of external wear. Includes the following essays: The History of the Privy Garden / The Reconstruction of the Privy Garden. "For well over 200 years the outlines of King William's private garden at Hampton Court lay in secret under the soil. Today, after pioneering archaeology and discoveries in the archives, an ambitious garden reconstruction has brought the ensemble back to view. The authors of this work have been closely involved with the project from the very beginning. They give a full account of the remaking of the garden, revealing the thinking behind it and the mechanics of the vast operation of planting." (Amazon) "A fascinating little history of the recently restored Privy Garden at Hampton Court. Not designed by Henry VIII or Thomas Wolsey as commonly believed, the Privy Garden was actually the result of a celebration of the baroque spirit during the reign of William and Mary, both great gardeners, in the 1700s. Although the gardens had been present during Henry VIII's time and were indeed renowned throughout Europe, it was William III, choosing Hampton Court as his new great palace to escape, even then, London's pollution, who instilled his own very definite ideas on the gardens. A collaboration of English, French and Dutch design, these new, enlarged formal gardens encapsulated the style of the age: parterres, topiary and 'moveable pots' containing William's beloved tender plants. Reconstructed in the 1990s to how they were in William and Mary's time, the progress of the project attracted much attention, drawing media interest even before the work was completed. Illustrated with old prints, paintings and aerial photographs of the reconstructions, this book gives a full pictorial overview of the project. Written by two authors linked to the restoration project: Mavis Batey, President of the Garden History Society and Jan Wouldstra, landscape historian, their close involvement adds authority to the text. This is an ideal guide for either visitors to the palace, students of garden history or anyone with an interest in our royal and horticultural heritage." - Lucy Watson, 1996, 0, Paperback / softback.

The Kunsthal in Rotterdam proudly hosted Arne Quinze's first exhibition in the Netherlands: My Secret Garden. His first large-scale indoor project consisted of a wooden labyrinth that pushed the visitors towards participation, stimulating them to reflect on their inner selves. Light and music intensified the experience. The electronic music duo Vive la Fete produced specific tones and soundscapes for the exhibition. Simultaneously, in the Belgian coastal town Ostend, his permanent installation Rock Strangers was put into place. A sentiment of estrangement is generated by the monumental sculptures, due to their size and electric orange color, while they also evoke curiosity and astonishment. This installation intends to stimulate openness and bring different views and groups in society to the forefront. Quinze invited author Saskia de Coster for a unique project. In an encounter between two artists, de Coster immersed herself in Quinze's work. She created a totally new work of fiction--which is included in the books--as well as a documentary for each project. The aim was multidirectional: not only to use Quinze's work as a door to cover new artistic territories, but also to let the new words and images influence and bring to life the spatial installations. The documentaries, which are also included in the boxed book set, include various in-depth interviews and fascinating images of the making of these bold endeavors. The viewer gets a front-row look at the working process of both artists and will gain an intense experience of the works of art themselves., Frame Publishers BV 2013, 0, UK,8vo French wraps,author SIGNED,1st edn.UK,8vo French wraps,author SIGNED,1st edn,2nd imp.

DJ has some wear and soiling. This is the second volume in William Manchester's projected three-volume biography of Winston Churchill. In this book, William Manchester challenges the assumption that Churchill's finest hour was as a wartime leader. During the years 1932-1940, he was tested as few men are. Pursued by creditors---at one point he had to put up his home for sale---he remained solvent only by writing an extraordinary number of books and magazine articles. He was disowned by his own party, dismissed by the BBC and Fleet Street and the social and political establishments as a warmonger, and twice nearly lost his seat in Parliament. Churchill stood almost alone against Nazi aggression and the British and French pusillanimous policy of appeasement. Despite his personal and political troubles, Churchill managed to assemble a vast, underground intelligence network--both within the British government and on the Continent--which provided him with more complete and accurate information on Germany's rearmament than the government was able to gather. William Raymond Manchester (April 1, 1922 - June 1, 2004) was an American author, biographer, and historian. He was the author of 18 books which have been translated into over 20 languages.[3] He was awarded the National Humanities Medal and the Abraham Lincoln Literary Award. In this volume, we witness the war within, before the colossal war to come. Yet despite his personal and political troubles, Churchill managed to assemble a vast, underground intelligence network-both within the British government and on the continent-which provided him with more complete and accurate information on Germany than the British government. Recognizing the horrifying truth, Churchill stood almost alone against Nazi aggression and the sordid British and French policy of appeasement. Manchester's luminous portrait never loses sight of Churchill the man-a man with limitations, especially his callousness toward others and his recklessness; but also a man whose vision was global and whose courage was boundless. Here is Churchill as a light in the approaching darkness, readying himself for the terrible stand to come. Derived from a Kirkus review: Sympathetically portrayed here as "the last of England's great Victorian statesmen" for his staunch defense of the empire and its values, Churchill did not beweep his outcast state. Though a parliamentary backbencher without ministerial portfolio, the sometime insider managed to stay remarkably well informed on Germany's secret rearmament and its territorial ambitions throughout the 1930's. Churchill spoke out forcefully in the House of Commons and wrote scores of articles against Hitler and the Nazi threat. Until the eleventh hour, though, he was a prophet largely without honor in his own country-and party. With anguished memories of the nation's WW I losses, the ruling Conservatives made appeasement a keystone of British foreign policy. But, while devoting detailed attention to where and how Churchill's contemporaries went wrong, Manchester does not overlook his subject's faults. For instance, Churchill's preparedness campaign suffered a serious setback when -with more loyalty than judgment-he espoused the cause of Edward VIII during the abdication crisis. Nor can Churchill's relationships with his children-notably, Randolph and Sarah-be deemed much of a success. On balance, of course, there were decidedly more credits than debits to his account during the gathering storm, and he became the moral equivalent of a consensus choice for Prime Minister after the onset of WW II. Manchester closes on a triumphant note: the May 19, 1940, radio address in which Churchill enjoined the British to brace for battle and "their finest hour."

Eleven volumes in two. xiii+2359pp., pagination continuous. Introduction by Gershon Legman. The first complete and public reprint of this classic Victorian erotic autobiography. Between approximately 1883 and 1895, someone, presumably an Englishman of means, had printed on the Continent an eleven-volume sexual autobiography limited, so he thought, to just six copies. Who the printer or publisher was has not been established with certainty but the most likely possibility is Auguste Brancart, a prolific publisher of erotica who began his career in the early 1880's in Bruxelles and toward the end of the decade moved to Amsterdam. Interestingly, the title page of My Secret Life has 'Amsterdam. Not for Publication' on it but in the sub rosa world of erotica publishing such indications are to be taken with a pinch of salt. The scarcity of the first edition of My Secret Life has been overstated; it certainly is a rare book, but it is not unique like Edward Sellon's The Ups and Downs of Life (1867) which exists in just two copies. More than six copies, as ordered, were undoubtedly run off. From the number that have reliably been reported to exist, the number appears to have been in the region of twenty to twenty-five sets. Aleister Crowley was supposed to have had one, as well as the silent film comedian Harold Lloyd and Joseph von Sternberg, Marlene Dietrich's director and one-time lover. Charles Reginald Dawes, the last great English collector of erotica, had two sets, one of which was destroyed the the British Customs and the other going eventually to the British Library in 1964. Lord Louis Mountbatten's brother, the 2nd marquess of Milford Haven, certainly possessed a copy for it exists currently in a fine London collection and contains his bookplate. There is a copy in Geneva, another in Hamburg and at least two in New York. The Grove Press reprint of 1966 is the first complete edition to be openly available. It was prepared from an eleven-volume typescript made directly from the copy in Hamburg referred to above. All subsequent reprints stem, legally or otherwise, from this. Gershon Legman's Introduction to the Grove Press reprint is a mine of fascinating information, and includes a closely argued case for My Secret Life having been written by Henry Spencer Ashbee, the famous Victorian bibliographer and collector of erotica. The present compiler is unable to share this view, but thinks it likely that Ashbee was involved in seeing it through the press on behalf of somebody else. A number of reprints followed the Grove Press edition. Some are listed below, and others were published by Brandon House of North Hollywood and Pendulum Books of Atlanta, Georgia. A complete French translation is currently under weigh. Two attempts to publish a reprint in the United States in the 1930's failed due to police action. The first, which began about 1932, followed the original edition as to title and imprint and got as far as volume three before the project was shut down. A copy with 100 original water colors by Clara Tice was auctioned by Parke-Bernet at New York in 1971. A second attempt took place about two years later, with a single volume called Marital Frolics (London [New York or Philadelphia]: For Distribution by Subscription Only [c. 1934]). This constituted an abridgment of volume 5, and was illustrated with ten plates by 'Malay.' A copy was likewise auctioned by Parke-Bernet in the same sale. ***PLEASE NOTE: These are heavy volumes in a box; please write for a quote on shipping; we will ship at cost., Grove Press, 1966, 0, Washington, DC: United States, Central Intelligence Agency, 2011.

From WIkipedia: "Air America was an American passenger and cargo airline established in 1950 and covertly owned and operated by the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) Special Activities Division from 1950 to 1976. It supplied and supported United States covert operations in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War....In August 1950, the CIA secretly purchased the assets of Civil Air Transport (CAT), an airline that had been started in China in 1946 by Gen. Claire Lee Chennault (of Flying Tigers fame) and Whiting Willauer. [1] In 1951, the parent company of Air America's forerunner, Civil Air Transport (CAT), was reorganized. The owner, Chennault, was approached by the CIA, who bought out the company through a holding company, the American Airdale Corporation. Under this agreement, CAT was allowed to keep its initials and the company was reorganized as Civil Air Transport, Inc. On 7 October 1957, American Airdale was reorganized to add another layer of obfuscation to its ownership. The new Pacific Corporation became a holding company for Air Asia Company (Air Asia (Taiwan)), Ltd; Air America, Inc; Civil Air Transport, Inc; Southern Air Transport; Intermountain Aviation; Bird and Sons (known as BirdAir); and Robinson Brothers. CAT attempted to change its name to Air America at the same time, but objections from Air France and American Airlines delayed the name change for two years. Air America's slogan was "Anything, Anywhere, Anytime, Professionally". Air America aircraft, including the de Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou and Fairchild C-123 Provider, flew many types of cargo to countries such as the Republic of Vietnam, the Kingdom of Laos, and Cambodia. It operated from bases in those countries and also from bases in Thailand and as far afield as Taiwan and Japan. It also on occasion flew top-secret missions into Burma and the People's Republic of China. Air America U-10D Helio Courier aircraft in Laos on a covert mountaintop landing strip (LS) "Lima site"Air America's headquarters moved several times during its existence, 808 17th St. NW, (1964), 801 World Center Bldg, (late 1964), 815 Connecticut Ave NW, (July 1968), and 1725 K Street NW, (1972), all in Washington, DC. Marana, Arizona was the principal continental United States maintenance base for Air America of which was located at Pinal Airpark. [edit] Operations during the Vietnam War (Second Indochina War)From 1959 to 1962 the airline provided direct and indirect support to CIA Operations "Ambidextrous", "Hotfoot", and "White Star", which trained the regular Royal Laotian armed forces. After 1962 a similar operation known as Project 404 fielded numerous U.S. Army attachés (ARMA) and air attachés (AIRA) to the U.S. embassy in Vientiane. From 1962 to 1975, Air America inserted and extracted U.S. personnel, provided logistical support to the Royal Lao Army, Hmong army under command of Royal Lao Army Major General Vang Pao, and combatant Thai "volunteer" forces, transported refugees, and flew photo reconnaissance missions that provided valuable intelligence on NLF activities. Its civilian-marked craft were frequently used, under the control of the Seventh/Thirteenth Air Force to launch search and rescue missions for U.S. pilots downed throughout Southeast Asia. Air America pilots were the only known private U.S. corporate employees to operate non-Federal Aviation Administration-certified military aircraft in a combat role, although many of them were actually military personnel who had been transferred to the airline. By the summer of 1970, the airline had some two dozen twin-engine transport aircraft, another two dozen short-take off-and-landing aircraft, and 30 helicopters dedicated to operations in Burma, Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos. There were more than 300 pilots, copilots, flight mechanics, and airfreight specialists based in Laos and Thailand., United States, Central Intelligence Agency, 2011, 3, Minneapolis, MN: Zenith Press, 2009.

Appendices (including Chronology). Index. Thomas C. Reed was a former nuclear weapons designer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Secretary of the Air Force under presidents Ford and Carter, and was a Special Assistant to President Reagan for National Security Policy. Danny B. Stillman was a physicist with the Los Alamos National Laboratory with decades of experience in nuclear weapon design, diagnostics, and testing. For more than a decade, Stillman directed the Los Alamos Technical Intelligence Division and upon completion of that assignment he was awarded the Intelligence Community Seal Medal. The authors bring together decades of experience at both the Los Alamos and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories. This is a political history of nuclear weapons from the discovery of fission in 1938 to the nuclear train wreck that seems to loom in our future. It is an account of where those weapons came from, how the technology surprisingly and covertly spread, and who is likely to acquire those weapons next and most importantly why. The authors' examination of post Cold War national and geopolitical issues regarding nuclear proliferation and the effects of Chinese sponsorship of the Pakistani program is eye opening. The reckless "nuclear weapons programs for sale" exporting of technology by Pakistan is truly chilling, as is the on-again off-again North Korean nuclear weapons program. Thomas C. Reed, a veteran of the Livermore weapons laboratory in California and a former secretary of the Air Force, and Danny B. Stillman, former director of intelligence at Los Alamos, have teamed up in The Nuclear Express: A Political History of the Bomb and its Proliferation to show the importance of moles, scientists with divided loyalties and most important the subtle and not so subtle interests of nuclear states....The authors build their narrative on deep knowledge of the arms and intelligence worlds, including those abroad. Mr. Stillman has toured heavily guarded nuclear sites in China and Russia, and both men have developed close ties with foreign peers. Robert S. Norris, an atomic historian and author of 'Racing for the Bomb,' an account of the Manhattan Project, praised the book for remarkable disclosures of how nuclear knowledge was shared overtly and covertly with friends and foes. The book is technical in places, as when detailing the exotica of nuclear arms. But it reads like a labor of love built on two lifetimes of scientific adventure....Its wide perspective reveals how states quietly shared complex machinery and secrets with one another --New York Times. Ranging widely over the subject, Messrs. Reed and Stillman assemble a mass of details, technical and political, to tell us how the world reached this parlous state....The authors are at their best when describing what they know well: the inner workings of these frightening devices --Wall Street Journal. Reed (former secretary of the air force) has joined with veteran Los Alamos physicist Stillman to write a complement to his earlier At the Abyss: An Insider's History of the Cold War. This book illustrates how nuclear technology and scientific knowledge was developed and distributed according to decisions made within fluctuating global geopolitical contexts. Even peaceful research and energy programs can be easily co-opted for military uses. While radical Islamic fundamentalism is clearly a dangerous threat to a weakened America, the authors emphasize how an ambitious and rising China has been quick to aid proliferation in its bid to become the world's leading power. Most important is the human element-who decides to use the weapons and why-and this is not always predictable or preventable. It is all very alarming, no doubt what the authors intended. Suitable for academic and public libraries-Library Journal--This grim warning from former nuclear weapons designer Reed (At the Abyss: An Insider s History of the Cold War) and former National Security Policy special assistant Stillman posits that terrorists ' will soon be able to assemble and place ... [an A-bomb in] any number of U.S. cities.' Reprising the history of the Bomb and the Cold War, the authors discuss the growth of the nuclear club (the U.K., France, Israel and China belonged by 1960; India and Pakistan joined in the mid 70s) and the impact of the Soviet Union s 1991 dissolution (leaving some 'twenty-seven thousand nuclear weapons... scattered about the formerly Soviet republics'). They also look at the free exchange of information in the 1990s between U.S. and Chinese nuclear scientists (Stillman was even able to tour their facilities), an arrangement that ended in 1999. Looking to the future, the authors explore several scenarios that might follow a nuclear explosion on U.S. soil, including governmental takeover by Muslim extremists and the possibility of China stepping in to disrupt U.S. financial power. With arguments for tougher international inspections and U.S. energy independence, as well as appendices on topics like weapon design and nuclear accidents aboard U.S. aircraft, these poker-faced experts provide a compelling and complete case --Publishers weekly., Zenith Press, 2009, 3, Munich: Prestel, 2016.

Following on the heels of Calle's highly acclaimed Did You See Me? this new book offers numerous images of Calle's most recent works. Among the projects included are "The Phone Booth, Garigiliano Bridge," which involved a public phone that Calle called at random to initiate conversations with strangers; "Take Care of Yourself," which documents the interpretations of more than 100 women of a breakup note Calle received from a former lover; "The North Pole," a touching tribute to the artist's mother that imagines her realizing a lifelong dream; and the latest iteration of "What do You See," which was created in response to one of the most brazen art heists of all time, at Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. Many ongoing series are also illustrated here, including "Unfinished," "Herein Lie Secrets," and "Photos without Stories." Calle's many fans will discover how the artist continues to examine the boundaries of public and private life in ways that surprise, engage, and inspire.
