” The spread of the towns, the disforesting of the hills, & other causes are conspiring to destroy many of the conditions which made the Riviera of former days so happy a resort for the lovers of Nature. But there will always be much to observe & much to study in so favoured a region.” Quirky, erudite & eminently readable, the fifty-four essays comprising Riviera Nature Notes give an astonishingly clear picture of plant & animal life in the South of France at the turn of the twentieth century--not to mention a fascinating insight into the social mores of the time. A hundred years later the book is as fresh, topical & inviting as when it was first published. Preferring to remain anonymous as a naturalist, not only out of modesty but to guard the integrity of his liturgical writings, its clergyman author speaks of olives & pines, myrtles & figs, mosquitoes & rare butterflies--to name but a few of his subjects--with such passion & verve as to bring the land from the Ligurian coastline to the Maritime Alps vividly alive. Published first at the expense of Sir Thomas Hanbury, master of the famed gardens at La Mortola, Italy & benefactor of the Royal Horticultural Society`s sixty-acre estate at Wisley, a second edition incorporated photographs taken by the temperamental & extravagant heiress Ellen Wilmot, in many ways a greater figure in the plant world than her close contemporary Gertrude Jekyll. Our anonymous author moved in the best horticultural & botanical circles, wore his learning lightly, & unusually for the time, spoke to the common man & the general reader on equal terms. With an engaging, sometimes acerbic, always entertaining & informative voice speaking effortlessly across the years, he will once again garner admirers among nature lovers, gardeners & travellers alike. ...

Even before her launch, RMS Queen Mary earned a special place in history. Job number 534, as the new Cunard liner was known, was Britain's largest passenger ship by far. In 1930, construction was begun, but as the stranglehold of The Depression tightened, Cunard announced that work was to cease. The half-finished hull sat on Clydebank for over two years, but was far from forgotten. For the people of Britain, 534 became a beacon of hope; a barometer of the nation's economy. & so it was no coincidence that on the day work at John Brown's shipyard resumed, prices on the London Stock Exchange shot up. A new age had dawned. Without so much as entering the water, the new ship had won the hearts & minds of the British public. A few months later the first of a long line of 'firsts' began for the new liner. Britain's first ship over 1000 feet in length was ready to be launched. It would be the first occasion of its kind it to be reported live by BBC radio; & for the first time the consort of a reigning British monarch would do the honours. The liner's 31-year ocean-going career would break countless records & re-write history. And her popularity soon spread across the Atlantic as she won the affection of America. Today, she is enjoying retirement in the sun in Pier J, Long Beach, California as a floating hotel & events centre. Author David Ellery poses the 101 most crucial questions about her, from design, construction & machinery to stories concerning her name, interior design, & retirement, & provides detailed but concise answers to each one. How fast was Queen Mary? Is it true the Queen Mary is haunted? Is the new Queen Mary 2 anything like the original Queen Mary? The result is a thoroughly engaging & informative book that provides the essential information to the world's very last remaining 1930s superliner. ...
