The Origin of Species
The Origin Of Species
£3.99
A grain in the balance will determine which individual shall live & which shall die...`. Darwin`s theory of natural selection issued a profound challenge to orthodox thought & belief: no being or species has been specifically created; all are locked into a pitiless struggle for existence, with extinction looming for those not fitted for the task. Yet The Origin of Species (1859) is also a humane & inspirational vision of ecological interrelatedness, revealing the complex mutual interdependencies between animal & plant life, climate & physical environment, &
- by implication
- within the human world. Written for the general reader, in a style which combines the rigour of science with the subtlety of literature, The Origin of Species remains one of the founding documents of the modern age.

The Origins of the Irish
The Origins Of The
Irish
£9.99
About eighty million people today can trace their descent back to the occupants of Irel&. But where did the occupants of the island themselves come from & what do we even mean by ” Irish” in the first place? This is the first major attempt to deal with the core issues of how the Irish came into being. J.P. Mallory emphasizes that the Irish did not have a single origin, but are a product of multiple influences that can only be tracked by employing the disciplines of archaeology, genetics, geology, linguistics, & mythology. Beginning with the collision that fused the two halves of Ireland together, the book traces Ireland`s long journey through space & time to become an isl&. The origins of its first farmers & their monumental impact on the island is followed by an exploration of how metallurgists in copper, bronze, & iron brought Ireland into increasingly wider orbits of European culture. Assessments of traditional explanations of Irish origins are combined with the very latest genetic research into the biological origins of the Irish. ...

The Orwell Diaries
The Orwell Diaries
£14.99
George Orwell was an inveterate keeper of diaries. The Orwell Diaries presents eleven of them, covering the period 1931-1949, & follows Orwell from his early years as a writer to his last literary notebook. An entry from 1931 tells of a communal shave in the Trafalgar Square fountains, while notes from his travels through industrial England show the development of the impassioned social commentator. This same acute power of observation is evident in his diaries from Morocco, as well as at home, where his domestic diaries chart the progress of his garden & animals with a keen eye; the wartime diaries, from descriptions of events overseas to the daily violence closer to home, describe astutely his perspective on the politics of both, & provide a new & entirely refreshing insight into Orwell`s character & his great works. ...
