"A fascinating account of the growth of logging in Lake Cowichan - the companies, their founders, the woodworkers and their struggles to organize unions, the ever-changing technology of lumbering, and the public policies that have been instrumental in determining the fate of logging in B.C. Above all, this is a story of the people of Cowichan Lake and how their lives have been influenced by logging and the forest." - from back cover.

Cloth bound, 4to., 286 pp., introduction and catalogue raisonne with 342 plts. and ills. from which 42 in color. FINE! ISBN 907028815X. Edited by Kristin Belkin. With chapters by Alan Chong and Christian Tumpel. Documents by Gabriel Pastoor. Arent de Gelder was Rembrandt's last pupil. He started his career as a painter when the "Golden Age" of Dutch Art had come to its end. Arent de Gelder seems to have carried on the tradition of Rembrandt's approach to color far into the beginning of the 18th century. A careful analysis of Arent de Gelder's paintings will reveal that in truth he had a different understanding of the function of color within the conception visualized by him. Arent de Gelder's natural talent to use color in all its splendor is a constant source of joy when studying his work even if he is carried away by it to such a degree that at times he is neglecting the precision of basic design. Arent de Gelder, in a way an outsider within Dutch Painting of the Post-Rembrandt period, was completely unconcerned about the artistic aims and intentions of his contemporaries and he went his own way. As new.

Antwerp in the Renaissance offers new research results and fresh perspectives on the economic, cultural, and social history of the Antwerp metropolis in the sixteenth century. This book engages with Antwerp in the Renaissance. Bringing together several specialists of sixteenth-century Antwerp, it offers new research results and fresh perspectives on the economic, cultural and social history of the metropolis in the sixteenth century. Recurrent themes are the creative ways in which the Italian renaissance was translated in the Antwerp context. Imperfect imitation often resulted from the specific social context in which the renaissance was translated: Antwerp was a metropolis marked by a strong commercial ideology, a high level affluence and social inequality, but also by the presence of large and strong middling layers, which contributed to the city?s ?bourgeois? character. The growth of the Antwerp market was remarkable: in no time the city gained metropolitan status. This book does a good job in showing how quite a few of the Antwerp ?achievements? did result from the absence of ?existing structures? and ?examples?. Moreover, the city and its culture were given shape by the many frictions, and uncertainties that came along with rapid urban growth and religious turmoil. Bruno Blondé and Jeroen Puttevils are colleagues at the Centre for Urban History at the University of Antwerp. The research fields of Blondé include the history of transportation, economic growth and social inequality, material culture, retail and consumption of the early modern Low Countries. Puttevils works on the late medieval Low Countries and deals with topics such as mercantile and financial culture, the history of lotteries and how people thought about the future in the past.

"The novellino is a collection of fifty stories, each one told by the writer separately, without any striving after continuity. Masuccio does not trouble himself like certain others of the Novellieri, to construct a setting for his work, and to feign that the tales are told in turn by the work, and to feign that the tales are told in turn by the various members of a gentle company brought together by hazard. He tells us that all his novels are true, and that in many cases he is only setting down what he has learnt by the evidence of his senses. " Very nice set. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SET/W47

With the large mid-nineteenth century bookplate of Reginald Dolley on paste-downs. The letters of 'Junius' were written to the 'London Public Advertiser' between 1769 and 1772 as part of a concerted and venomous attack on the government of the Duke of Grafton in favour of the return of the Earl of Chatham. Following numerous pirated and incomplete editions, the first authorised version appeared in 1772 and was an immediate success. The letters were regarded as models of neo-classical style (they were praised by both Burke and Johnson) and have been many times reprinted. Their authorship remains a major literary enigma of eighteenth century English literature. Harvey (OCEL) and CBEL favour Sir Philip Francis (the case would appear a strong one) but there are at least forty other nominees including figures as diverse as Burke, Gibbon, Temple, Tooke and Walpole.

Paperback, 306 pages ., 16 b/w ill. + 141 colour ill., 190 x 290 mm, Languages: French. ISBN 9782503584560. Ouvrage collectif et interdisciplinaire interrogeant sous divers angles le rapport de Rubens et son oeuvre à l'art musical. Quelle était la culture musicale de Pierre Paul Rubens (1577-1640) Les archives et les témoignages directs restent évasifs et laconiques sur la question. Son oeuvre pictural comporte en revanche de nombreux éléments qui permettent non seulement de restituer l'univers sonore du peintre mais également d?apprécier sa haute maîtrise des codes iconographiques contemporains. Pour la première fois, cet ouvrage collectif jette un regard neuf sur la production du doctus pictor, ses sources d'inspirations, ses influences et ses dispositifs iconographiques en matière de musique et, plus largement, contribue à une meilleure connaissance de l?iconographie musicale des xvie et xviie siècles Céline Drèze Musicologue, elle consacre ses recherches à la culture musicale des ordres réguliers et des chapitres canoniaux séculiers à l?époque moderne et s?intéresse également aux pratiques musicales des confréries de dévotion. Fabien Guilloux Musicologue, ingénieur d?études à l?Institut de Recherches en Musicologie (CNRS), il consacre une partie de ses travaux à l?iconographie et aux pratiques musicales dans les milieux claustraux et canoniaux des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles.
