Though forbidden to do so, he secretly continues to practice sleights of hand and metaphysics. Casting his tarot cards one stormy night, Fabrizio fears he has unleashed terrible powers that will determine his master`s fate. Sure enough, moments later, Mangus and Fabrizio are summoned to the court of the king, who expects Mangus to use his recently outlawed mystical ability to rid his daughter of a ghost that haunts her.

Bobby Womack
Midnight Mover: The True Story of the Greatest Soul Singer in the World

2007 y.
Publisher: John Blake
Description: Bobby Womack is a legend - a phenomenally gifted singer, songwriter, and guitarist with 40 albums and 30 million record sales to his name. A prot?g? of Sam Cooke, Womack wrote classics that include `Lookin` for a Love` and `It`s All Over Now` (a smash-hit for the Rolling Stones). Their success helped make him a star, but ongoing battles with drugs and the record industry nearly destroyed him. Behind his music lies a life scorched by tragedy, beginning with his impoverished childhood in Cleveland, to his years touring and recording with the greats - including James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Eric Clapton, and Elvis Presley - and through the years of drugs, partying, and riotous abuse, this is the authentic voice of a major soul artist.

Midwifery, Obstetrics and the Rise of Gynaecology

2007 y.
Publisher: Ashgate Pub Co
Description: The Gynaeciorum libri, the `Books on [the diseases of] women,` a compendium of ancient and contemporary texts on gynaecology, is the inspiration for this intensive exploration of the origins of a subfield of medicine. This collection was first published in 1566, with a second edition in 1586/8 and a third, running to 1097 folio pages, in 1597. While examining the origins of the compendium, Helen King here concentrates on its reception, looking at a range of different uses of the book in the history of medicine from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century. Looking at the competition and collaboration among different groups of men involved in childbirth, and between men and women, she demonstrates that arguments about history were as important as arguments about the merits of different designs of forceps. She focuses on the eighteenth century, when the `man-midwife` William Smellie found his competence to practise challenged on the grounds of his allegedly inadequate grasp of the… [detailed...]

Mies and Modern Living

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 1929 Barcelona was host to the World Arts Fair, an international architecture and design exposition attended by members of the Spanish royalty and many senior European government officials. It was an occasion for cultural grandstanding, an opportunity for countries to parade their native talent. So when the German government approached Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) to design a pavilion, he was left in no doubt as to their expectations--and he met them, erecting an ultra-modern creation in glass, steel and four types of marble. Once he had accomplished this, Mies then set about designing furniture for his building--something none of his competitors appear to have thought of. Thus was born the iconic Barcelona chair, an ingenious blend of clean Modernist steel tubing and comfort-appeal cushioning. Gathering the proceedings of a 2007 symposium on van der Rohe, this publication takes the Barcelona chair as a starting point to address his progressive ideas on interior space and… [detailed...]

Ten years ago private typewritten copies of this startling work sold in London and Berlin for $150.
