1962444Scott Polar Research Institute Cambridge 1962. First Edition. Hardcover Original Cloth. Very Good Condition/Good. 1st Edition; Scott Polar Research Institute Special Publication Number 2. viii 44 pages frontispiece 1 plate 1 map in text. Original covers in unclipped dust jacket. Shelf wear covers slightly grubby contents clean. Extremely scarce especially in this condition. A reprint was issued by Erskine Press in 2003. In August 1914 Shackleton set sail for the South Pole on the Endurance. His Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition was to attempt a trans-continental journey from the Weddell Sea to the Ross Sea. Shackleton was doubtful if enough provisions could be carried by the trans- continental party for the complete journey so his plan called for a second ship to land a team in McMurdo Sound whose task it would be to lay food depots every 60 miles as far south as the Beardmore Glacier. This party on board the Aurora sailed late in the same year. In January 1915 they landed at McMurdo. However after a fearful storm their ship was ripped from its moorings and along with it went most of their supplies. Refusing to give up the men scavenged enough from an earlier expedition and set out to do their work. They trekked across some 2000 miles always convinced that when they completed their task Shackleton would have sufficient supplies for the latter part of his journey. Three men died along the way. It is one of the really notable polar journeys; ten men marooned with none of their own fuel clothes or stores yet by improvisation managing to stock depots for a party that would never arrive. R.W. Richards a young Australian physicist set down his personal story for the Scott Polar Research Institute. This is the first UK edition. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.

19023549<p>Longmans Green and Co London 1902. Second Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. 2nd Edition: 1st one-volume edition of Churchill's second book. With frontispiece portrait of Kitchener of Khartoum and 22 maps and plans of which 14 are color and 11 folding. xiv 381 pages. Shelf wear split to hinge spine slightly sunned bumping and mark to front cover age toning and some spotting but overall in very good original condition. The River War was originally published as a two-volume edition in 1899. In 1902 Churchill by then a new member of Parliament revised and abridged his text excising much of the criticism of Kitchener for political reasons. There is also a new Preface. For the next 120 years every one of the many subsequent editions of The River War was based on this 1902 text. This first one-volume edition had only a single printing of just 1003 copies and so is considerably scarcer than the first edition. This edition has the same distinctive gilt decoration of the Mahdi's Tomb and gunboat as the first edition but is bound in red cloth. Two interesting features distinguish this copy. First is the presence of original white endpapers instead of the typical black. Second is lack of the publisher's catalogue; Cohen Vol. I A2.2 p.46 notes "Most copies will have a catalogue designated '10000/7/02'." Cohen also notes that "Sales were gradual" and "by 1 June 1908. 407 copies remained on hand" of which 350 were as-yet unbound sheets. Moreover among the copies we have examined the publisher's red cloth varies quite considerably in hue from a deep red to distinctly lighter shades. In our experience darker cloth has always corresponded to black endpapers and a bound-in publisher's catalogue. This copy - the publisher's original binding featuring medium red cloth white endpapers and no publisher's catalogue - seems almost certainly among the later copies bound and sold by the publisher. In 1883 Mahdist forces of messianic leader Mohammed Ahmed overwhelmed the Egyptian army of British commander William Hicks and Britain ordered withdrawal from the Sudan. In 1885 General Gordon famously lost his life in a doomed defense of Khartoum where he had been sent to lead evacuation of Egyptian forces. Though the Mahdi died that same year his theocracy continued until 1898 when General Kitchener reoccupied the Sudan. With Kitchener was a young Winston Churchill who participated in decisive defeat of the Mahdist forces and the last "genuine" cavalry charge of the British army during the battle of Omdurman in September 1898. Writing about the British campaign in the Sudan Churchill - a young officer in a colonial British army - is unusually sympathetic to the Mahdist forces and critical of Imperial cynicism and cruelty. This work offers us the candid perspective of the future 20th century icon from the distinctly 19th century battlefields where Churchill learned to write and earned his early fame. The text is arresting insightful powerfully descriptive and of enduring relevance. Because it was significantly revised and because so many subsequent editions were based on this text this 1902 first abridged and revised edition is as important and desirable as any in the Churchill canon. The text has been revised and a new chapter on the Destruction of Khalifa and the denouement of the war have been added.
