Seven League Boots
£8.27
I had been commissioned to go anywhere in the world I wished & write whatever pleased me. My only orders were to move fast visit strange places to meet whomever was interesting
- & to start at once Richard Halliburtons fifth & last book Seven League boots illustrates how he followed these orders with passion & abandon. Americas favorite adventurer dined with Haile Selassie & rode the Rhinoceros Express in Ethiopia; he had an audience with King Ibn Saud outside the gates of Mecca (which he had tried to sneak into) & finally rode an elephant over the Alps in the tracks of another great adventurer Hannibal. This is Halliburton at his best: reckless & romantic. It is also the last chapter of a life that had at its end grown tragic. Nearing forty physically exhausted & in financial trouble Halliburton thought to roll the dice once again hoping that the charm which had always saved him in the past would materialize one more time. But it was not to be. His last journey was fatal. Soon after finishing this book he attempted to sail a junk across the Pacific but never returned.

Seven Pillars Of
Wisdom
£3.87
As Angus Calder states in his introduction to this edition ' Seven Pillars of Wisdom is one of the major statements about the fighting experience of the First World War'. Lawrence's younger brothers Frank & Will had been killed on the Western Front in 1915. Seven Pillars of Wisdom written between 1919 & 1926 tells of the vastly different campaign against the Turks in the Middle East
- one which encompasses gross acts of cruelty & revenge & ends in a welter of stink & corpses in the disgusting 'hospital' in Damascus. Seven Pillars of Wisdom is no Boys Own Paper tale of Imperial triumph but a complex work of high literary aspiration which stands in the tradition of Melville & Dostoevsky & alongside the writings of Yeats Eliot & Joyce.

Seven Elements That Have Changed The World

Humans have put the Earth's resources to extraordinary use. Carbon provides us with heat light and mobility at the flick of a switch. From silver came photography the preservation of memories and a task which for centuries was confined to painters sketchers and our imaginations. Silver in turn was eventually replaced by silicon an element which enables us to communicate and transmit information across the globe in an instant. But our use of the Earth's resources is not always for the benefit of humankind. Our relationship with the elements is one of great ambivalence. Uranium produces both productive nuclear power and destructive atomic bombs; iron is the bloody weapon of war but also the economic tool of peace; our desire for alluring gold is the foundation of global trade but has also
led to the death of millions. This book vividly describes how seven key elements have shaped the world around us - for good and for bad. Seven Elements takes you on an adventure of human passion ingenuity and discovery. This journey is far from over: we continue to find surprising new uses for these seven elements. Discover how titanium pervades modern consumer society; how natural gas is transforming the global energy sector; and how an innovative new form of carbon could be starting a technological revolution. Seven Elements is a unique mix of science history and politics interwoven with the author's extensive personal and professional experience.
