Hardback. Zustand: Used. In the curious year of 1929, when flappers danced the charleston and the world teetered on the precipice of modernity, Ralph M Robinson and Charles J Bathurst took it upon themselves to embark on an audacious journey through the landscapes of The Penn Country and the Chilterns. This literary treasure trove, published by the equally esteemed John Lane The Bodley Head Ltd, promises to uncover the secrets of the British countryside, albeit through the slightly foggy lens of a bygone era. Yet, one might wonder: what was it that compelled these two gentlemen to wax lyrical about the leafy hills and quaint villages, when the jazz age beckoned from the smoky salons of London? Nice old book with rough paper edge, untrimmed. Pages are almost like card. Slight mould damage, just a few speckles. Good spine, with a slight bit of waer to cloth cover at top. Large irem about 26cm tall and 3.5cm thick. This book is not merely a travelogue; it?s a curious blend of rambling prose, eccentric illustrations, and the kind of observations that seem to belong more to the realm of daydreams than reality. One can almost imagine Robinson and Bathurst traipsing through the Chilterns, pipe clamped between teeth and tweed coats flapping in the gentle breeze, with an occasional quip about the quality of scones at a nearby tearoom. For the modern reader, however, their musings might evoke a sense of wonder?did people really care about the intricacies of hedgerows and the architecture of ancient churches, or was it simply a way to distract themselves from the less charming aspects of 1920s life? As you flip through the pages of this rather unassuming tome, expect to encounter a delightful assortment of topics, including, but not limited to: Intricate descriptions of the flora and fauna that may or may not exist today. A thorough examination of the local pubs, where a pint seems to have been the cure for all ailments. Philosophical musings on the nature of hills, as if they were sentient beings waiting to impart wisdom. Sketches that appear to have been drawn during the authors? more questionable artistic phases. Footnotes that may or may not add insight, depending on how many cups of tea you?ve consumed. It?s worth noting that this literary relic carries with it the unmistakable charm of its age. The pages may be yellowed, the spine slightly cracked, and the occasional coffee stain could serve as a testament to its adventures on the shelves of other book lovers. Condition: Used, with all the quirks one would expect from a book that has seen more sunsets than its authors. It may have been cast aside in favour of shinier, more modern titles, but its wisdom remains intact, if somewhat nostalgic. As you read through this oddity, keep an eye out for the moments when the authors? voices seem to drift into disjointed thoughts, perhaps revealing a bit too much about their own musings on life and society. The Penn Country and the Chilterns is not just a guide to a picturesque part of England; it serves as a time capsule of an era that straddled the line between quaint countryside charm and the rapid pace of change. You might even find yourself questioning what exactly brought Robinson and Bathurst to pen these observations?an earnest love for their homeland, or perhaps a reluctant acceptance of the inevitable march of progress? Whether you are a seasoned collector of books about the British countryside or simply seeking a conversation starter for your next gathering, this volume is sure to provide a peculiar blend of nostalgia and bemusement. It invites you to imagine a time when the world was at a crossroads, and the countryside was a refuge for the contemplative soul. Grab it, read it, and let the musings of Robinson and Bathurst add a splash of irony to your bookshelf. Crappy Old Books is proud to present this curious find, perfect for the intrepid reader looking to explore the past through the pages of a book that is as quirky as the subjects it discusses.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - New Zealand and Australia are broadly considered to be countries in which sustainability and responsibility discourses are being pursued by governments and business alike, and in which incentives and initiatives are helping confront and overcome sustainability-related challenges. This book takes a closer look behind and beyond the marketing mantras of both Australia's and New Zealand's 'clean and green' campaigns and, on the basis of representative examples and cases, critically evaluates the status quo.The book assesses the effectiveness of sustainability and responsibility models with a focus on the South Pacific and argues that the ways in which issues have been dealt with in this more closely defined geographical region are most likely a good indicator of how similar issues are (or soon will be) dealt with around the globe.
