ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1973). 1973 1st edition. 8vo (158 x 240mm). Ppxii,233. B/w photographs, b/w illustrations by Richard Amundsen. Brown boards, spine titled in gilt. Foxing to edges else good-plus in spine-faded dust-wrapper. "Game and the Gunner is neither a personal memoir, a how-to treatise or a layman's textbook, though it contains elements of all three. Rather, it is the considered opinion of a broadly experienced and highly knowledgeable man about everything that has a bearing on game harvest and management. The book is in two parts, the harvest or hunting section leading off. Beginning with a discussion of hunting arms and the general principles of hunting, Pulling proceeds to describe the most appropriate tools, techniques and tactics for bagging every important species of American game bird and big or small game animal. The second section concerns the goals, practice and problems involved in the management of these same species and the basic ecological considerations that are involved. Board in scope, provocative in content and eminently readable, Game and the Gunner is a book all responsible sportsmen will want to read and reread." Chapters include:- Shotguns; Hunting rifles; General principles; Waterfowl; Upland game; Doves and marsh-fringe birds; Varmints; Deer; Antelope, sheep, and goats; Carnivorous game; Rabbits and squirrels; Camping and incidental equipment; Ecology; Poisons; Conflicts and confrontations; Game management errors; Waterfowl; Upland game; Deer; Antelope, sheep and goats; Carnivorous game, fur-bearers, and small game; Enforcement problems. . …

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is "The Heaven of Invention" by Professor George Boas. It is the 1962 First Edition, published by Johns Hopkins Press, Baltimore, Maryland. "From the dust-jacket write-up : Art, says George Boas, originates in man's application of his intelligence to the satisfaction of his needs. In other words, art emerges from thinking about practical problems. But art does not disappear when its original utility becomes obsolete. Professor Boas, unabashedly a relativist, distinguishes between natural and artistic modes of satisfying human desires and aspirations. He locates artistry in the social situation, describes its social functions, and cites the influence of history and tradition upon both artist and critic. Finally, he reopens the question of values as embodied in art, and develops a theory of art criticism as interpretation. The author's characteristic brilliant, witty style sparkles on these pages. This book has been called by one commentator, 'the most massive erudite attack on the objectivity of aesthetic judgments in our literature.'" This important book on aesthetics in the world of Art is now out of print (OP). George Boas was Professor Emeritus of the History of Philosophy at the Johns Hopkins University.
