It has even become one of the most important areas among record collectors from all over the world. Meticulously researched, the book guides you through every single artist and group that ever had a progressive record released! On major labels as well as on the small independent labels. They are presented in detail along with all the individual musicians that made it all happen. It covers the fuzz guitar groups, the experimental bands, the power trios, the radical political groups and the psychedelic acts. Early pioneers like International Harvester, Made In Sweden, Hansson & Karlsson and Mecki Mark Men paved the way for renowned acts like November, Träd, Gräs & Stenar, Blå Tåget, Nationalteatern, Hoola Bandoola Band and Kebnekajse as well as the mavericks of Knutna Nävar and Rävjunk. They are all included! As well as the highly collectable acts as Radiomöbel, Taste of Blues, Gandalf and Epizootic. This superbly produced full colour book presents approximately 400 artists and their records in detail with a collector´s valuation guide for the original vinyl records and with all sleeves lovingly depicted!"

Barnaby, sa femme à la langue bien pendue et leurs quatre enfants évoluent parmi les coutumes et les paysages sociaux encore méconnus d'une Amérique en pleine mutation. À mesure qu'ils rencontrent des personnages hauts en couleur, de politiciens ambitieux à des mondains extravagants, leurs observations et mésaventures offrent un commentaire percutant et plein d'esprit sur des États-Unis en plein essor. Leur voyage se déroule à travers une série de rencontres hilarantes et poignantes qui montrent les complexités d'une société en route vers la grandeur." Première édition en un seul volume de ce roman écrit par la mère d'Anthony Trollope, l'un des écrivains les plus connus de l'ère victorienne. Peu courant.

With a foreword for the Abridged Edition, a foreword by editor Max Horkheimer, numerous tables and figures throughout. Index at the end of the book. "Since its first publication in 1951, when it was hailed as a monumental study which blazes new trails in the investigation of prejudice, this book has remained an essential document for the modern world. Written after the single most evil and deliberate act of the century, it undertook the challenging task of determining scientifically what personality traits characterized the phenomenom of authoritarianism and what internal and external forces allowed for its development."

1888480London and New York, MacMillan, 1888. Three volumes bound in full vellum leather. First edition. Three delicately bound 155 x 220 mm (6" x 8.5") volumes of (xxxii) 592, 683 and 699 pp. Full caramel vellum leather, intricately ornated spines with 5 nerves, gilded frames and boxes containing lush greenery-inspired patterns and fleurons, all gilded, double titlepiece with the book title, author's name and volume Roman number on dark red and anthracite backgrounds, gilded floral frieze on the tails. Covers with double gilded frames and tiny corner flowers. All fore-edges colored in a mostly blue polychromia with marbled red veins. Gilded roulette work on the edges of the covers and pastedowns, colored endpapers. Unidentified ex-libris on the first pastedown bearing the motto "Ab Multis Ad Unum." With an unfolding map of "The Growth of the United States" at the beginning of the first volume. Table of contents at the beginning and index at the end of each volume. First volume: The National Government. Preface. Second volume: The State Government and the Party System. Third volume: Public Opinion, Illustrations and Reflections, Social Institutions. This book is not an encyclopaedia of the institutions of the American Republic, even though it may look like it is. Actually, James Bryce talks about the real workings of the institutions: parties, bosses, the spoil system and the public opinion. It shows an America already different from what the mere Constitution says. He compares the British monarchy with the American federal republic, the democratic versus lord elites and the centralization vs local power dynamics. By doing so, James Bryce predates the sociology of Robert Mitchels and Max Weber while maintaining the magnitude and depth of a true treatise. An analytical tour de force, worthy of a serious Americana collection.
