‎Festival Cities: Culture Planning and Urban Life since 1945‎

‎Hardback. New. Following on the heels of their very successful Olympic Cities in this book John and Margaret Gold turn to the experience of cities that stage regular cultural festivals highlighting the nature and significance of performance ritual and spectacle in urban life. While the focus is on the period from 1945 to the present the history of urban cultural festivals from Antiquity to the mid-nineteenth century is included as background to the survey that follows. While cultural festivals have always been an intrinsic part of human society it is in Europe that many of the high art forms and festival traditions developed that were subsequently exported to other parts of the world - Americas Africa Australia and parts of Asia. Traditional forms of celebration such as carnival also spread from Catholic Europe to the Americas. This book therefore will concentrate on the European experience but draws on a wider base when specifically relevant. Through the ten chapters there is progression from conceptual grounding to scene-setting thematic chapters that include systematically-organised historical coverage case study material and commentary on emergent trends. hardcover‎

‎Valued Environments‎

‎Hardback. New. First published in 1982. People care about places. Inhabitants demand more participation in the changes proposed for their local environments activists urge greater protection of countryside and natural environments decision-makers feel threatened by the antagonism aroused by their powers and plans. The essays in this book have been drawn together to discover what lies behind these expressions of concern and discontent. Valued environments are places for which people feel commitment and affection places which support a sense of personal identity and well-being. The authors explore the character and constituents of valued environments asking how our experiences of environments may be enhanced. What is the impact of environmental change How can the future be accommodated in both rural and urban environments without destroying their essential qualities The reader will find substantive evidence from case studies of environments valued by inhabitants and outsiders which answer these questions. Examples are taken from wilderness areas fenland market towns and large cities commercial streets and residential neighbourhoods environments of the past and those imagined in science fiction. The essays are united in their focus on the meaning of places and landscapes. The subtle but highly significant role of valued environments is examined thoroughly in the book. It will be of interest to all who care deeply about their surroundings reflecting perhaps some of their own experiences as well as conveying information about the environmental experiences of others. Students of geography environmental planning and conservation should also find the book directly relevant to their interests in man-environment relationships. hardcover‎

‎ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN LETTER DATED 10 JULY 1819‎

‎Letter is written to George Poe Junior of Pittsburg. Letter on two sides of 9-1/2 x 8 inch piece of paper. Letter refers to some arrangement the two men have a debt to be paid in the future by Poe or Johnson mentions "my friend H. Baldwin Esq and that "I am much in want of the funds" . All we could find about Poe was that he bought and sold slaves and that Henry Baldwin Esq. had financial dealings with Poe. Johnson was a lawyer landowner and politican from Kentucky who served as Vice President of the United States under Van Buren from 1837-41 and had a octoroon slave which he openly acknowledge to be his common law wife even though he owned and sold other slaves. He apparently had financial problems throughout his life and reputedly became demented at end of his life. A cover sheet accompanies the letter an envelope Letter and envelope cover are split in half at folds. Fairly Good legible. . unknown‎

It was translated by 'J. Cooper' one of the many pseudonyms of Richard Johnson.</p><p>In his preface the editor praises Berquin and other foreign writers whose books for the juvenile market 'merit the highest encomiums' and who have humbled themselves to deal in 'the plain language of youth in order to teach them wisdom virtue and morality'. The text comprises some 23 short stories of varied length style and setting including such titles as 'Juvenile Tyranny conquered' 'The Book of Nature' 'The happy Effects of Sunday Schools on the Morals of the rising Generation' 'The Happy Villager' 'The Indolent Beauty' and 'Female Courage properly considered'. </p><i>12mo 170 x 100 mm attractive engraved frontispiece and pp. vi 212 engraved title-page vignette tear to p. 85 through text but with no loss</i> <i>in contemporary plain sheep spine cracking some scuffing to covers plain spine ruled in gilt with faded ink title headcap chipped worn at extremities with the contemporary ownership inscription of Ann Elliot on the front pastedown.</i><p>Roscoe J39 1; Osborne II 900. </p> Elizabeth Newbery‎
