Hardcover. Second printing. xiii, 207 pages. Captured here in A Brit Among the Hawkeyes are Richard, Lord Acton's delightful vignettes about his youth and how he came to call the Hawkeye state home, for at least part of the time. This collection of essays, articles, and radio scripts chronicles Acton's youth in colonial Africa, the intricacies of the British House of Lords, the contrasts of life in London, and, above all, his unexpected love affair with Iowa. The seven chapters are divided into memorable events in his life, including: Finding Myself in Iowa; London Bridges; Lost Youth; Lords, Commons, and Crown; America, America; Bits and Pieces; and Fragments of Iowa's Past. Acton explodes the myth that Iowa is a fiat place where potatoes are grown. Readers will be captivated by Acton's stories, which range from his hilarious encounters with the Iowa police to his enthusiastic wanderings in the aisles of Hy-Vee grocery store. A great gift or addition to anyone's library. Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. xxvi, 627 pages + 32 of illustrations. Original publisher's cloth, spine lettered gilt, with unclipped dust jacket. The history of the Royal Irish Academy of Music is the history of music education in modern Ireland. Founded in 1848 by some of Ireland's best-known musicians and public figures to create a school of musicianship and to meet the orchestral needs of Dublin's music societies, it has grown into a major international public service organisation which embraces students at all levels across the musical spectrum. This history traces its origins, profiles its founders and early staff, and chronicles the phases in its development. It sets the narrative of the RIAM's in the context of cultural, political and social development in the past 150 years and brings to life the generations of governors, staff and students - many of them colourful characters such as Joseph Robinson, Sir Robert Stewart, John F. Larchet and Dorothy Stokes - who have built up its resources and created the atmosphere within which music flourishes. A fine copy without any damage, library stamps, inscriptions or other markings. *** WEIGHT OVER 1.4 KG, EXTRA SHIPPING CHARGE (AT COST) WILL BE REQUESTED FOR DELIVERIES OUTSIDE OF IRELAND AND UNITED KINGDOM ***.
