The Horses of WinterThe focus of A A. T. Davies' ambitious and hard-hitting first novel is the relationship between Peter Keevil, a disillusioned scholar, connoisseur of the perverse and the futile, and John Morano, sensualist and compulsive seducer. Their lives contrast, interlock and are finally centred on a special and violent crime: deliberate, chosen and callous. For Morann this act is revenge for the mutilated Anna, whose love had seemed pure and resuscitating; for Keevil it provides the liberation of a self-determined identity, that of the criminal. Their psychological race towards a mutual victim is tense and horrifying. and the result totally unexpected.
This is not a ' comfortable ' book - Davies transfers the world of cruelty to the more conventional landscapes of London's East End, a Scottish island, and the suburban rugger club belt - and it will undoubtedly shock and disturb many readers. Yet it will shock constructively in the way that Swift, Lawrence and Orwell do, for Davies is a young writer whose bitterness of vision is complemented by a profound understanding of and sympathy for his characters, insight, humour, and a poet's feeling for words and images.

Prehistoric Man in Europe Cover - https://www.amazon.com/Prehistoric-ma...The well-known New Mexico anthropologist and archaeologist Frank C. Hibben has chosen Europe for this extended account of the life of prehistoric man because, as he says, "the events connected with man's be- ginning are best known there." And he chooses to speak of the period as that of "prehistory" because the story must be reconstructed from such archaeological clues as those which are afforded by bones, pottery, battle axes, graves, and ruined villages. Europe is the point of origin of Western civilization. Consequently European pre- history is the most important evolution of culture for the English-speaking world and for those peoples whose cultures are tied to Europe. From twenty years of study and three field trips of a year each in Europe, Mr. Hibben is able to recount European prehistory epoch by epoch and period by period from the earliest beginnings in the Eolithic through the various ages of stone, to those times when agriculture, animal husbandry, and metal tools made it possible for men to build cities and to live in an atmosphere called civilization. The story of man's evolution has excited scientists and laymen as well from ancient times to the present. But today (1958), with modern methods and resources, the story is more complete than ever before: the emergence of peoples, often their decay, the relation of climate to their vicissitudes, the development of arts and techniques, migrations, primitive wars, the emergence of discoveries like the bow, the wheel, and the smelting of metals; the painful struggle towards a written expression-all of these were "written" in fragments of bone and stone and cave drawings. What they mean in the long succession of European development-and American-becomes clear from this highly stimulating book. .

Hi!Could you add in the description of this edition that it is an alternate cover edition of ISBN 9789896231668? (I checked the ISBN in my own copy)

I don't know if this information is already present in a field visible only to librarians but it would be helpful to include it where everyone else can see it.
Thanks!

FAQs About Reality: Chris Langan's Social Media Posts, Book 1: Quora Annotation/number of pages/publisher - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08...B084FRV7C4
The Fate of Empires and Search for SurvivalIn these inspiring essays Sir John Glubb examines the human race over a period of 4,000 years and finds the same patterns of rise and fall of national greatness and all in the same timescale. Customer review: The best book you can read if you really want to understand history in a broader perspective. When you understand the pattern that has run through history for the last 4000 years, you will understand that our time now is not unique. Only if we understand the pattern of history can we avoid the collapse of the western civilization.
Done.
Zoonomia: The Laws of Organic Life: Complete Edition Please, add proper annotation:
Zoonomia; or the Laws of Organic Life is a two-volume medical work by Erasmus Darwin dealing with pathology, anatomy, psychology, and the functioning of the body. Its primary framework is one of associationist psychophysiology. The book is famous for its early ideas relating to the theory of evolution, specifically forms of developmentalism similar to Lamarckism. The first volume is divided into 40 sections, on a range of topics related to the body, the senses, and disease. He classifies bodily and sensory motions as "irritative," "sensitive," "voluntary," and "associative." He presents theories on the production and classes of ideas, and seeks to explain the causes and mechanisms of sleep, reverie, vertigo, and drunkenness. He then discusses anatomy, especially the operation of the circulatory system and various glands. The second volume, published in 1796, is focused on classifying diseases into classes, orders, and genera. The book is divided into four major sections, based on his four classes of disease: diseases of irritation, sensation, volition, and association.

Hitler: Born at VersaillesISBN-10 0939484250
Published: December 1, 1987
548 pages
For most Americans the globe-girdling catastrophe that we call the Second World War is now a matter neither of personal experience nor of memory, but of wood pulp and celluloid, books and films. Larger still is the majority for whom the cataclysmic First World War - once spoken of as "The Great War" - is ancient history, an antic prelude to what those who participated in it sometimes like to call "The Big One." For most of us, perhaps, the two wars compare as do contrasting movies from the two eras. Our image of the First World War is brief, grainy, silent, with black-and-white, herky-jerky doughboys "going over the top"; we picture the Second as panoramic, technicolor, reverberating with stereophonic sound and fury, armadas of ships and planes and tanks sweeping forward to destiny. A further disparity may be found in the popular historical and political assessment, such as it is, of the two wars. The majority of Americans doubtless still believes that the key to the Second World War is a simple one: a demonic megalomaniac, Adolf Hitler, rose up to lead Germany to world domination and instead led his people to well-deserved ruin. Yet the view of the First World War held by the Americans of today, it is safe to say, is rather more tepid than the white-hot feelings of many of their grandparents in 1917, when "100-per-cent Americans" agitated to "Hang the Kaiser!" and mobs sacked German newspaper offices and presses in the worst outbreak of ethnic bigotry in our country's history. For the contemporary generation the origins and course of the First World War are murky and obscure. Even the terrible hecatombs of the Western Front have faded into oblivion, and Kaiser Bill and his spike-helmeted Huns have long since been superseded by the Fuhrer and his goose-stepping myrmidons. The evident lack of interest of even the literate American public in their country's first "famous victory"

The Threepenny OperaThis book needs its info corrected: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...
I have the book with this ISBN physically at hands.
First, it should stand alone, not be a reissue of Dreigroschenoper.
It contains three plays, not just Threepenny Opera.
The title shall be: "The Threepenny Opera / Baal / The Mother" (or whatever you use to separate different plays/ novels within the title - slashes, commas, semicolons, I don't know...)
The translators shall be: Ralph Manheim, John Willett, Peter Tegel, Steve Gooch
Introduction by: Hugh Rorrison

The Threepenny OperaThis book apparently needs its info corrected, too: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...
I don't have this book at hand, but if cover and description are correct, it follows that following info should be corrected.
First, it should not be an edition of Dreigroschenoper, but since it contains three plays, not just that one. It should be combined with abovementioned The Threepenny Opera / Baal / The Mother
The title shall be: "Plays: One - Baal / The Threepenny Opera / The Mother"
The translators shall be: Ralph Manheim, John Willett, Peter Tegel, Steve Gooch
