Biggins, John. Tomorrow the World: An Otto Prohaska Adventure. [Signed].
London: Heinemann Ltd., (1994). First Edition.
Signed bookplate ffep. Octavo, blue boards (hardcover), gilt letters, 389 pp. Near-Fine, with slight rubbing to covers, in a Fine (As New) dust jacket. From jacket: The fourth instalment of the seafaring adventures of Ottokar, Ritter von Prohaska, Tomorrow the World concludes his memoirs of Imperial Austria just where one would expect them to end; at the beginning. It is 1902 and Prohaska is a sixteen-year-old naval cadet embarked for a scientific cruise to the South Atlantic aboard the steam corvette Windischgraz: in fact a wooden three-master. The distinguished list of passengers and crew includes not only the hero's divisional officer, the ever resourceful Linienschiffsleutnant Zaleski, with his inventive approach to service regulations; but also the world-famous anthropologist Professor Karl Skowronek, who hopes eventually to grade the entire human species according to skull formation -- and in the meantime has very decided opinions on racial hygiene and degeneracy in art. Nothing goes quite according to plan...

ÒWilliam Avery Bishop survived more than one hundred and seventy air battles during World War I and was given official credit for shooting down seventy-two German aircraft. Experts on aerial warfare acknowledge that his relentless airfighting techniqes and skills as a brilliant individualist and marksman were unique and his record unsurpassed. He was the first man in British military history to receive the Victoria Cross, the Distinguished Service Order, and the Military Cross in one ceremony. This remarkably objective biography, written by Bishop's son, is a warmhearted, entertaining, and often surprisingly outspoken account of the escapades and heroics of a man of great courage...Ó

Bixby, William. The Imnpossible Journey of Sir Ernest Shackleton.
Boston: Little, Brown and Company, (1960).
Octavo, white cloth (hardcover), viii, 207 pp. Fine, in a Fine dust jacket. From jacket: After years of careful preparation the world's most experienced antarctic explorer was headed into the most dramatic adventure of his life. Sir Ernest Shackleton had a carefully picked crew and a stout, well-outfitted ship, the Endurance. But there was no radio, the world was at war, and the ship was doomed. At the edge of the Antarctic Continent it became hopelessly jammed in the ice, and after months of immobility it was crushed and sunk. Then began the impossible journey. On ice floes, in three tiny boats, the crew worked their way against terrible suffering and hardships across the Antarctic Sea. This book tells the story of Shackleton's incredible trip from the Antarctic Continent towards survival. This is adventure at its best, a true account of a heroic journey. It is a tribute to Shackleton's leadership, to his crew's ability to fight for survival and to one of the greatest adventures in modern history.

Blackmer, Donald L. M. Unity and Diversity: Italian Communism and the Communist World.
Cambridge, Massachusetts: The M.I.T. Press, (1968). First Edition.
Octavo, cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, xiii, 434 pp. Fine (As New) in a Near-Fine dust jacket with light rubbing. From jacket: This book presents a microcosmic view of the conflicts within the Communist world through the saga of a powerful but nonruling political party trying to reconcile its national with its international values in the face of events over which it has had little control. De-Stalinization and upheaval in Eastern Europe initially forced the PCI to reconsider its relationship to the Soviet Union and the other Communist parties; the Sino-Soviet split, reducing the authority of the USSR, encouraged the PCI to articulate its own view of interational Commujnist relationships and its own strategy for European Communism; and the evolution of italian economic and political life, while creating a crisis in the party's alliance system, has caused it to move steadily down a revisionist road...

Blackstock, C. M. All the Journey Through.
Toronto: University of Toronto Press, (1997).
Octavo, grey cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, [xiv] + 291 pp. Fine (As New) in a Fine (As New) dust jacket. From dust jacket: Our knowledge and appreciation of the nineteenth century seem largely to have vanished. In this book, the author reconstructs that world, basing her story on a vast family correspondence that was meant to be destroyed. With their fair share of eccentricities and human failings, several generations provide a microcosmic view of the building of a nation. All the Journey Through is also the story of the making of a Toronto family, though much of the narrative takes place outside the city. Recollecting her childhood in the 1920s and 1930s, the author begins with the large weekly family dinner parties and the Sunday afternoon teas for the children held at her grandmother's house in Toronto, and the happy times spent in Longwood, her grandmother's summer house on Lake Simcoe, Then, quoting extensively from the letters, which date from 1817 to 1919, the author reaches further back into the past.
