That tradition is vividly portrayed in Gardens of Georgia, commissioned by the Garden Club of Georgia, Inc., to commemorate its sixtieth anniversary and to celebrate the heritage and beauty of Georgia's gardens.As noted by Georgia founder James Oglethorpe in 1732, Georgia has a happy climate. From the broad-shouldered mountains of the Blue Ridge, through the red clay of the rolling piedmont, across the sprawling piney coastal plain, and on to the subtropical islands on the Atlantic, Georgia is blessed with four regions of gardening opportunities, distinctly defined by differences in elevation, climate, soil, and natural vegetation.Writer William Mitchell and photographer Richard Moore have portrayed the wonders of gardens historic and contemporary, public and private, and urban, suburban, and rural from each of these regions. Whether illustrating overall gardenscapes or capturing intimate vignettes and individual blossoms, Richard Moore's photographs have a depth of color and clarity of detail that immerse the reader into a world of delightful splendor. The text by Willaim Mitchell not only describes the settings as they are today, but also spins a rich background of history in the context of the botanical Eden observed by early explorers.The richest legacy of each generation is to preserve and protect an always vulnerable natural environment and help nature bring forth its green and glowing cycles of rebirth. Gardens of Georgia celebrates that legacy, sharing the ongoing dream of paradise--a new Eden--whether it is in a grand formal garden from an earlier era or a small plot of perennials in a Georgia yard. ; FINE/FINE.

Two vintage studio still photographs from the 1958 film. Just as Caldwell's 1933 novel was met with scrutiny and censorship upon its publication, the film adaptation twenty-five years later met with similar disapproval. Scenes involving Tina Louise and actress Fay Spain were perceived as obscene, the film was said to call marital fidelity into question, and even worse: the film portrayed a popular uprising of mill workers. Many theaters either banned the film entirely or admitted only movie-goers ages 18 and up. Though written by Ben Maddow, a blacklisted radical leftist documentary and poetry writer, screenwriting for the film was attributed to Philip Yordan, a writer often credited for scripts written by blacklisted authors. Tina Louise won a Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer for the film, her debut role. Set in the American South, shot on location in California. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus with manuscript ink and graphite annotations to the verso.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. None (illustrator). Twelve volumes of science fiction by Ben Bova, Robert Holdstock, Alfred Bester, Phillip Mann, and John Scalzi. Includes a first edition of The Deceiver's by Bester. Twelve volumes of science fiction by award winning writers, including by Ben Bova, Robert Holdstock, Alfred Bester, Phillip Mann, and John Scalzi. Includes a first edition of The Deceiver's by Bester. As well as three works of mythic fiction by English novelist Robert Holdstock, the collection contains two 1970s novels written by American writer Ben Bova; As on a Darkling Plain, and Colony. Whilst Bova's novels are packed with adventure, Holdstock's fiction and fantasy works explore more philosophical, psychological, anthropological, and spiritual themes. Holdstock received three awards from the British Science Fiction Association and won the World Fantasy Award in the category of Best Novel of 1985 for his breakthrough novel Mythago Wood, found here alongside Earthwind, and his first work of science fiction, Eye Among the Blind. Holdstock is not the only author to receive prizes for his work, as the American author Alfred Bester has also received several nominations for his 1975 novel The Computer Connection, later re-printed as Extro, which we have here alongside Golem 100 and a first edition of The Deceivers. This set also contains Wulfsyarn by Phillip Mann, and his first science fiction novel The Eye of the Queen, as well as two works by John Scalzi, the former President of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. Set in the same universe as his first novel The Old Man's War, The Last Colony and Zoe's Tale were both nominated Hugo Awards in the Best Novel category. Interestingly, Zoe's Tale presents a different view of events covered in the Last Colony. In the publisher's original paperback binding. Externally, generally very smart. Eye Among the Blind, Earthwind, and Colony look as if they have been bent in the past. With several creases to the front of Wulfsyarn, and small crease to the bottom corner of the front cover of Earthwind. The spine of Zoe's Tale is also lightly creased, and there is some light wear to the head of the spine of Golem 100 and Wulfsyarn, whilst The Last Colony has some light wear to the tail of the spine. Internally, firmly bound with lightly age-toned but clean pages. Very Good. book.
