COBBAN, ALFRED. The social interpretation of the French revolution : COPY WITH MARKINGS. With an introduction by Gwynne Lewis. Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 1999, second edition, xlix, 178pp., . "Alfred Cobban saw the French Revolution as central to the 'grand narrative of modern history', but provided a salutary corrective to many celebrated social explanations, determinist and otherwise, of its origins and development." "A generation later this concise but powerful intervention is now reissued with a new introduction by Gwynne Lewis, providing students with both a context for Cobban's own arguments and an assessment of the course of Revolutionary studies in the wake of The Social Interpretation. This book remains a handbook of revisionism for Anglo-Saxon scholars, and is essential reading for all students of French history at undergraduate level and above." - CONTENTS: The Present State of History -- History and Sociology -- The Problem of Social History -- The Meaning of Feudalism -- The Attack on Seigniorial Rights -- Who were the Revolutionary Bourgeois? -- Economic Consequences of the Revolution -- A Bourgeoisie of Landowners -- Country Against Town -- Social Cleavages Among the Peasantry -- The Sans-Culottes -- A Revolution of the Propertied Classes -- Poor Against Rich. 9780521667678 ISBN 0521667674.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. xxvi+314+[xv ad] pages with diagrams with diagrams. Octavo (8 1/4" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. First published by David McKay 1963. These 25 chess games played between master and amateur were chosen, arranged, and annotated to help amateurs improve their games. What better way could the amateur have of learning to exploit the weak play of fellow amateurs than to study how a master would handle such situations? Selected by former World Chess Champion Max Euwe and Walter Meiden, a typical amateur player, the games point out graphically how the chess master takes advantage of characteristic errors of the amateur. In general, the games have been presented in order of the degree of skill of the amateur. The early games were played against beginners; later games, against "coffeehouse" players of various skill levels; the last games, against amateur "book" players. Each game, with commentary by Dr. Euwe, was chosen to illustrate a specific aspect of chess, from various openings to a number of typical chess situations. By carefully studying these games, the amateur player will learn how to recognize and avoid a variety of weak strategic and tactical moves. Dr. Euwe's helpful and informative commentary on each contest consists of a discussion of significant moves in the game, an analysis of the opening used and explanations of important chess concepts as they arise. Often, he includes a detailed analysis of tactical variations that might have been played as alternatives. The result is an indispensable aid for amateurs seeking to raise the quality of their games as well as a book that can be read with profit by chess players at every level of expertise.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. x+190 pages with diagrams. Small octavo (7aa 34" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's pictorial wrappers. Translated and edited by J Du Mont. Sixth printing. Judgment And Planning In Chess focuses on that crucial point in the chess game -- eight or so moves into the game -- where the opening development breaks off and the middle game begins. This is precisely the part of the game that falls between opening books and middle-game books. Dr. Euwe studies a number of orthodox openings and positions from the point where the opening stage has come to an end. He describes the characteristics of the position reached, shows why one or the other side stands better, and gives a practical demonstration of the means by which the game can be brought to its logical conclusion. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, previous owner's name to half title, lightly soiled else very good.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. ix+419 pages with index, bibliography and charts. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") issued in gold cloth with red lettering to spine and gold dust jacket with pictorial on cover and spine and black lettering on spine and cover. First edition. This work analyzes the structure and functioning of an extensive regional peasant marketing system with aboriginal antecedents. It considers the impact upon such a system of the modern industrializing economy of Mexico-a system involving hundreds of villages and numerous marketplaces and traders serving nearly a million people in the distribution of goods valued at over a billion pesos annually. The study identifies the multiplicity of economic roles open to participants, the complexities of a specialized production system and the diverse ways it operates in relation to different commodities and the conduct of trade by various kinds of functionaries. Such problems as supply and demand, price, capital, market results, and the interplay of economic, cultural and social factors are delete with. Data on growth and change under the impact of the modern national economy in the last twenty-five years are presented for the system as a whole and for a specialized village. Throughout the work attention is paid to economic alternatives and the basis for choices made. In many ways, the marketing system described approaches the economist's ideal model of a free market. Because of the high degree of village specialization, in contrast to other peasant marketing systems, the Oaxaca system serves primarily the interchange of goods among the peasant villages rather than the provisioning of the City. As a result, the system shows remarkable adaptability and vitality in the face of influences from the industrializing national economy. Condition: Light edge wear. Dust jacket spine sunned, lightly soiled. A very good to fine copy in a near fine dust jacket.

PAPERBACK, cover price $12.95, thin stain on bottom and top foredges, otherwise still quite good copy. red remainder dot on bottom foredge. WESCOTT, GLENWAY. The pilgrim hawk: a love story. Introduction by Michael Cunningham. New York: Review Books, 2001, xx, 108pp., . Series: New York Review Books classics This powerful short novel describes the events of a single afternoon. Alwyn Towers, an American expatriate and sometime novelist, is staying with a friend outside of Paris, when a well-heeled, itinerant Irish couple drops in - with Lucy, their trained hawk, a restless, sullen, disturbingly totemic presence. Lunch is prepared, drink flows. A masquerade, at once harrowing and farcical, begins. A work of classical elegance and concision, The Pilgrim Hawk stands with Faulkner's The Bear as one of the finest American short novels: a beautifully crafted story that is also a poignant evocation of the implacable power of love. 9780940322561 ISBN 0940322560.
