Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st David & Charles Edition. Paperback. Sunned spine. The subject of surnames is one that concerns everybody; after all, everybody has a surname. And it is naturally of interest - to each one of us except the least curious - to know something about the meaning, origin and history of one's own particular name. It is a fascinating subject, stretching back into the mists of time. The author's purpose in this book is not to attempt a dictionary, but to offer material from which the reader may work out the meaning and origins of his or her surname. There are sections on Welsh names (there were virtually no Welsh surnames until the sixteenth century, Meredith ap Evan's son turning up as Philip ap Meredith and so on); on Scottish names (often complicated in the old days by strangers adopting a clan name); on Irish names, which offer their own problems; and on Jewish, Manx, and Cornish names, Channel Island names and on the names brought in on the streams of immigration through the centuries. Mr. Pine is already well-known for his books on heraldry, genealogy and kindred subjects. On the subject of surnames he is equally interesting, forthright and, at times, controversial. 152 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st David & Charles Edition. Paperback. People at War. 1914-1918. Previous owners name written neatly to inside cover. When the First World War broke out, Britain was the unchallenged head of a cast empire, and the envy of the world. The country have lived in relative peace for the past hundred years, and when war was declared the general assumption was that it would be over by the end of the year. But the Great War was to change entirely the face of the nation and the lives of millions of men and their families. This book follows the progress of the war through the personal experiences of nine men involved in the fight for their country, from the defence of the Western Front, through the Gallipoli fampaign and the Battle of Jutland to eventual victory. What unites all nine men, despite their different situations, is a sense of camaraderie, and this, above all else, seems to drive them onward through some of the most horrifying chapters of military history. Eye-witness accounts and personal reminiscences of the war. Useful maps. Compelling and detailed text. 224 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…

Roosting, courtship, the rough and tumble of daily life, diet and evolution are among the many other important aspect of behaviour discussed.
