Reflections
Publisher: Dowagiac Commercial Press Dowagiac, MI, 1988
"Reflections is a little book to pick up and browse through and re-read
.the brief story of a family and a favorite place which could be anybodys found anywhere. For this reason it will have a general appeal to all who have had the fun of an expanding and growing-up family and to any who prefer woodland trails to cement sidewalks and bird watching to TV viewing. "It should, we think, appeal especially to Fernwood members
.and to Fernwood visitors, so many of whom write after being here, We find it hard to describe Fernwood. It is truly a unique place. We wish there were another just like it in our town. "In these times of stress and changing values there is a basic need for all of us, young and old alike, to have some time to enjoy, study and understand the world we live in
.in short, to become aware. The plan, principal purpose and total program of Fernwood is to open eyes, ears and hearts to these natural miracles around us every day, so many of them missed bedause of a lack of time, knowledge and awareness. "It will, perhaps, raise the spirits to reflect on the world we might have if there were many, many other small Fernwoods dotted close over the whole expanse of the U.S.A." Nicely illustrated, including six (6) full-page, color illustrations by William Blackmun. 88 pages. Very Good. Hard Cover. Book condition: Very Good

Brackett, Anna C.
The Technique of Rest
Publisher: Harper & Brothers Publishers New York, 1901
The Technique of Rest. By Anna C. Brackett. New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1901. Hardcover. "The occasion of this book is an article of min in Harpers New Monthly Magazine for June 1891, called The Technique of Rest, which was an attempt to help, out of my own rather wide experience, some of the women who were tired. From different parts of the country, and from women whom I had never heard of, came letters of thanks for the help given to them
.It seemed to have touched the right chord, and for that I was very thankful, since the world of women is not destitute of effort, nor is its effort purposeless, but the purpose is too often method less, and so, much brave effort is worse than wasted. This is particularly the case in home life

LIMITED EDITION: "Of this edition three hundred and fifty copies have been printed during November, MDCCCXCVIII, for the Brothers of the Book, this copy being number 59." "The Golden Person in the Heart, the initial poem in this little volume, is the result of an attempt to present, in metrical form, such of the tenets and teachings of Brahmanism as may best indicate the main outlines of that most ancient and wonderful philosophy, as set fort in the Upanishads, and others of the sacred books of the East. The poem is in no sense a work of erudition, but only a bees burden of honey gathered from the thousand flowers of an oriental garden in which the author has spent many precious and memorable hours. Of the remaining verses, some few have been published in The Chap-Book, The Lotus, The Fly Leaf and The New Bohemian, but the larger number are here presented for the first time."

Brandreth, Paul
Trails of Enchantment
Publisher: G. Howard Watt Publisher New York, 1930
Trails of Enchantment. By Paul Brandreth (pseud. Paulina Brandreth); introduction by Roy Chapman Andrews. New York: G. Howard Watt, Publisher, 1930. Hardcover. "For hunters who love the north woods, the past glory of the wilderness is recorded here. Paullina Brandreth, who wrote under the pseudonym Paul Brandreth, was a woman who hunted and photographed deer in the Adirondacks with noted deer hunters Roy Chapman Andrews, General "Black Jack" Pershing, and Reuben Cary. She began writing for the acclaimed sportsmen's journal Forest and Stream in 1894 at the age of nine. Her material in the magazine was credited to Camp Good Enough, Brandreth Lake, a major deer camp on land purchased by her grandfather specifically for hunting and fishing. One of only a few women writing about hunting at that time, Brandreth chose to continue to write under a pseudonym, publishing Trails of Enchantment in 1930. She was passionate about still-hunting whitetail bucks

Brannock, Earl
Queen of the Chesapeake and Hudson
Publisher: Earl Brannock Cambridge, MA, 1986
Queen of the Chesapeake and Hudson. By Earl Brannock. Cambridge, MD: Earl Brannock, 1986. Oversized oblong softcover. "In collecting information about the Steam Ship Nokomis to be presented to the Maritime Hall of Fame, it became apparent that this story had been locked in the annals of history for too long a time. It was really a story of three dynamic men and the influence this ship had on their individual lives and successes; a story that needed to be told. The Golden Years of large yachts was at an all time high. The industrial expansion of the United States and much of its early 20th century history seemed to become interwoven with the Nokomis. This yacht and its owners left a lasting impression of the drive and course that helped shape America into the country that it is today. For three decades the Nokomis served the rich and famous as well as numerous governmental agencies. There are few people living today with clear memories of this era of the large yachts. I am indebted to many for refreshing these memories; as they are revived, I feel confident in saying that there are many ships of equal importance but few that deserve the title Queen of the Chesapeake and Hudson."

Brenan, Gerald
A Holiday By the Sea
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Cudahy New York, 1962
A Holiday by the Sea. By Gerald Brenan. New York: Farrar, Straus and Cudahy, 1962. First United States publication (stated). Hardcover. "Tom Fisher is a cultured, highly articulate, middle-aged intellectual of the early thirties who, like T. S. Eliots Purfrock, is filled with an insidious sense of failure at having measured out his life with coffee-spoons. To escape this realization he has turned away from life into art, literature and, above all, conversation. After a long estrangement Tom is visiting his half-sister Dora and her schizophrenic communist husband, Hubert, in a cottage on the Kent coast, where he renews his childhood obsession with the sea and the ambiguous, once incestuous dream-relationship with Dora, besides making occasional expeditions to a nearby seaside town to philander with local shopgirls. However, with the arrival of Huberts ex-fiancee Eleanor, he begins (again like the hero of Eliots great poem) to hear the mermaids singing each to each and even dares imagine that they may sing to him. But though Eleanor like men and sees Tom as a stading invitation to seduce him, she is a cold, sea-witch character who requires men mainly as food for her compulsive, neurotic vanity

Breuer, William
They Jumped At Midnight: The Crash Parachute Missions That Turned the Tide at Salerno
Publisher: Zeus Publishers Saint Louis, MO, 1983
They Jumped At Midnight: The "Crash" Parachute Missions That Turned the Tide at Salerno. By William Breuer. Saint Louis, MO: Zeus Publishers, 1983. Hardcover. SIGNED by the author on title page! "American and British forces came within an eye-lash of suffering one of the most monumental military disasters of World War II in the allies first effort to invade Adolph Hitlers continental Europe. On September 9, 1943, Anglo-American assault troops struck along 31 miles of Italys beautiful Gulf of Salerno, and after a bloody fight at the shoreline quickly pushed inland for 10 miles at some points. Within three days, the invaders had 140, 000 men ashore. Meanwhile German Field Marshal Albert Kesselring rushed forces to Salerno with such skill that in less than 72 hours he had drawn a steel noose around the Allied bridgehead. Then the Germans counterattacked with fury. Only five days after landing the Allies were driven back, often in disarray, until they were nearly pinned against the sea. Another Dunkirk was in the making. The Allied Fifth Army commander, Lieutenant General Mark W. Clark, in desperation dispatched a fighter-pilot to Sicily, 300 miles away, with an urgent summons for the crack U.S. 82nd Airborne Division and its attached veteran 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion: Jump tonight--this is a must! It was an impossible request. Yet, less than 12 hours later, parachute elements bailed out over the shrinking beachhead and a few hours afterward other paratroopers leaped deep behind enemy lines. It was one of the most dramatic cavalry-to-the-rescue missions of the war, and one that carried a decisive impact far beyond the number of paratroopers involved. This fascinating story is told here in the authors lively, you-are-there style after months of painstaking research and interviews with scores of participants. It is an hour-by-hour reconstruction of events focusing upon the human drama of men at war. This exciting narrative brings a new perspective to the crucial invasion of continental Europe."

Agony At Anzio: The Allies' Most Controversial and Bizarre Operation of World War II
Publisher: Zeus Publishers Saint Louis, MO, 1985
Agony at Anzio: The Allies Most Controversial and Bizarre Operation of World War II. By William Breuer. Saint Louis, MO: Zeus Publishers, 1985. Hardcover. SIGNED by the author on title page! "The beachhead death struggle in early 1944 was the Allies most controversial and bizarre operation of World War II--and one of the bloodiest. Conceived and promoted by Winston Churchill to break the Italian stalemate, the amphibious landing behind German lines, 30 miles south of Rome, soon bogged down. In some of the most vicious fighting of the war, the Allies were nearly driven into the sea before emerging victorious. In his fast-paced, you-are-there style, author Breuer reveals such fascinating episodes as: the chief of Hitlers secret service, conspiring with British intelligence, deliberately misleading the German commander in Italy; Ultra, the top-secret device that intercepted and decoded German messages, informing the Allies of enemy plans; the Gestapo hit team infiltrating Allied lines to murder Generals Mark Clark and Harold Alexander; The American OSS spy sent into Rome to coordinate an uprising being thwarted by power struggles between Underground factions; the Gestapo preparing to blow up Rome when the Allies arrived; Hitler, mistrusting his generals, flying in 20 soldiers from Anzio to find out what was going on there; the timid American beachhead commander writing in his diary: I am far too soft-headed to send men to their deaths. Based on painstaking research and participant interviews, the author focuses on the human drama of men and women at war. He vividly portrays the agony, danger, suffering and heroics that make Agony at Anzio one of the most exciting books yet on World War II." Illustrated. xii + 258 pages with index.

Broderick, John
The Pilgrimage
Publisher: Weidenfeld & Nicolson London, 1961
The Pilgrimage. By John Broderick. London: Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1961. First thus. Half-leather binding with marbled endpapers. This is the scarce first edition of John Brodericks first novel. The Pilgrimage was banned in Ireland on publication. "In an isolated, cloistral Irish household are the beautiful Julia, who has married the rich, middle-aged cripple, Michael Glyn; Stephen his manservant, and his young, attractive nephew Doctor Jim. There are undercurrents between Julia and the doctor, Julia and Stephen, and the relationship between Stephen and Michael is also suggestively ambiguous. This slightly macabre novel has an original fictional setting, the world of the Catholic middle-classes in Ireland. It presents a menage tenuously held together despite potentially explosive pressures because of the essential selfishness of each of the characters. The pilgrimage to Lourdes of these oddly conjoined people provide a startling conclusion. John Broderick, who live and works in Co. Westmeath, is a writer to watch." 191 pages.

Humor of Bulls and Blunders. By Marshall Brown (ed). Boston, MA: Small, Maynard & Company, 1906. First edition. Hardcover. "A bull is a statement which contradicts itself amusingly, like the Irishmans rope which had only one end, because the other end had been cut away. It is not a dull absurdity which no one can comprehend; but is always comprehensible, even when it is most confused. A blunder necessarily implies carelessness, ignorance, or stupidity. Josh Billings says: The difference between a blunder and mistake is this: when a man sets down a poor umbreller and takes up a good one, he makes a mistake; but when he sets down a good umbreller, and takes up a poor one, he makes a blunder. While it is designed primarily to amuse, the volume has an instructive value in suggesting the importance of clearness of expression and simplicity of style." vii + 217 pages.

The tales are peopled by tramps, gentlemen of leisure, fishermen and wanderers, whose free spirit Buchan admired. The changing landscape with spring's arrival is beautifully captured in April in the Hills.

Bucolo, Placido (ed)
The Other Pareto
Publisher: Scolar Press London, 1980
The Other Pareto. By Placido Bucolo (ed); translated by Placido and Gillian Bucolo; preface by Ronald Fletcher. London: Scolar Press, 1980. First edition. Hardcover. Professor Placido Bucolo has gathered together a widely representative selection of (Vilfredo) Paretos writings from newspaper articles and public addresses as well as extracts from his better-known academic essays and books, many of which have previously been unavailable in English. It provides a fascinating and revealing story, tracing the development of Paretos idas from the liberalism engendered by men like John Stuart Mill, through his increasing political disillusionment, to the cynicism which grew from his observations that the same pursuits of power and the same mental mechanisms existed whatever the political movement. This collection balances his earlier and later work and provides an account of the historical setting which puts into context the common accusation against Pareto, that of fascism. As Ronald Fletcher says in his Preface, it is a book which contributes significantly to the much-needed growth of international awareness and clarification, and which may well lead us to quite fundamental re-appraisals. "The Other Pareto is divided into three parts: parts one and two contain extracts from Paretos work and with an introductory note by Professor Bucolo preceding each extract. Part three contains Professor Bucolos own conclusions." xiv + 308 pages with index. Book is in VERY GOOD condition. Dust jacket is in VERY GOOD condition; protective plastic wrapper.
