Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. William Gladstone, King Edward VII of England, Winston Churchill - if the roll call of visitors to Warren House, one of the finest Victorian stately homes in the south of England, is impressive, then the wider cast of characters associated with the House and its owners is a veritable Who's Who of the political, cultural and social elite of their day. Owner George Cawston was an original board member of Cecil Rhodes' British South Africa Company; Tsar Nicholas II and Empress Consort Alexandra received his successor Arthur Paget; while other denizens of Warren House inspired characters in the works of Edith Wharton and Henry James. This is a social tale of individual lives, enriched by the first-hand accounts of two former residents - nurse Lilian Philips who lived and worked at the House during the Second World War, and former Serbian refugee - now Canadian citizen - Bill Pazaratz. The fascinating text is enriched by beautiful illustrations of the House and its splendid gardens, past and present. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The story of the seven regiments which compose the Household Division, commonly referred to as the Guards, has been often told, individually and jointly. To the world at large, the image of the Guards has been coloured by their ceremonial duties as the regiments dedicated to the protection of the sovereign - whether on duty at Buckingham Palace and Horse Guards, or at great national occasions such as The Queen's Birthday Parade, which the public know as the Trooping of the Colour. Yet in the 21st century the Guards have never been more active and engaged in their role as highly effective operational military units, whether in Bosnia, Iraq or, more recently, Afghanistan. Excellence in Action is a new, richly-illustrated publication which offers a true, wide-ranging colour portrait of the Household Division which reflects the tradition of excellence of the individual formations in the context of today's role as an elite fighting force. "Excellence in Action has been edited, designed and illustrated with all the panache and professionalism of the regiments themselves" - Soldier Magazine, June 2008 "Excellence in Action is as good as its word .This is an analysis of a unique institution, which is both interesting and skilfully written . .Excellence in Action - but also excellence in production." - Maj-Gen Sir Evelyn Webb Carter, Country Life, June 2008 "Excellence in Action is a splendid, extraordinarily successful book, a real triumph, and cannot be recommended too highly." - Guards Magazine, Summer 2008.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This title is now sold out. Trinity Hall is one of the oldest of the Cambridge colleges, founded over 650 years ago. It is also one of the smallest and most beautiful, situated alongside the river Cam. Henry James described its garden as 'the prettiest corner of the world'. The Hidden HallaEprovides an insight into what makes Trinity Hall such a special and unique community.aEThis richly illustrated coffee-table book reveals the varied and manifold contributions that past and present students and Fellows have made to the wider world and the Hall itself. Including intimate recollections of controversial Masters, outstanding Fellows, and exceptional, as well as, notorious undergraduates. Sometimes acerbic, often funny, these accounts document the shift of the Hall from a 'law college' to one that now produces eminent scientists, engineers, linguists, politicians, poets, actors and broadcasters. Some of the luminaries of the past are here, including Robert Herrick, Leslie Stephen and J.B. Priestly. More recent alumni include former Chancellor and Foreign Secretary, Geoffrey Howe, test cricketer and Anglican bishop, David Sheppard, broadcaster, Mark Tully, theatre director, Nicholas Hytner and actress Rachel Weisz.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 'The College is like its Old Court: discreet, unobtrusive, yet at the very pinnacle of excellence', writes a former member of the College. Another member remarked: 'My two years are still a vivid splash of sunlight in my memory, after the darkness of school, before the drab routines of my nomadic existence in the army'. This would seem to be a true description of the experience of many at Corpus Christi, one of Cambridge's smallest, yet most distinctive colleges. Other former members however had slightly different memories. One remarked: 'I was a reluctant undergraduate. Coming to Cambridge seemed like returning to school and I resented the rules and the quiet complacency of the place. As I sought my rooms, a well-meaning don remarked, Oh! You will be in Marlowe's room, to which I replied that I was expecting a room to myself. How was I to know he was referring to Christopher Marlowe, the poet who died in 1953? This highly illustrated book, which is published to coincide with the College's 650th anniversary, includes memories, images and reminiscences of everyday life in Corpus Christi from the 1920s to the 1950s and also from more recent times.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This handsome anthology, published to coincide with the school's 140th anniversary, will contain a wonderful collection of intimate, moving, funny and possibly outrageous memories from OEs, staff, parents, pupils and friends of the College. "Thirty years on, I look back at my days at Eastbourne College with considerable affection. Memories include treading the Big School boards, with much enthusiasm and little or no talent; cricket on College Field in the glorious summer of 1976; missed tackles in rugby; and the influence of outstanding teachers like Dickie Brent." - Adam Mynott, BBC East Africa Correspondent, Powell 1971-76. "I remember particularly the friendliness of the school and the three years of unbeaten rugby success which our team enjoyed from U16 to 1st XV level. Over these times I made my closest friends, and also ended up in a job that I love: playing professional sport." - Hugo Southwell, Professional rugby union player (Edinburgh & Scotland), Wargrave 1993-98. "My overall memory is of a splendid staff and civilised boys and girls. I consider my time at Eastbourne to be the best part of my life, for which I am extremely grateful." - Michael Birley, Headmaster 1956-70. "The College remains delightfully fresh in the memory as a place where everyone is genuinely at ease with each other and talent flourishes." - Charlie Bush, Headmaster 1993-2005.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This book celebrates two anniversaries in the long history of this College. It is 660 years since its College's first foundation by Edmund Gonville in 1348 and 450 years since the second foundation by Dr John Caius in 1558. Buildings alone do not make a College, no matter how beautiful they may be; and yet they provide a vital support for this powerful intellectual community that renews itself year after year. Caius is a living continuum of study, contemplation, enquiry and expression stretching in an unbroken line all the way back to the Middle Ages. The book opens with a brilliant encapsulation of the story of the College's growth and development from 1348 to 2008, written by the master historian of Caius, Professor Christopher Brooke. This is followed by a breathtaking panorama of images of Caius in the twenty-first century. Dan White shows us the College through fresh eyes. He delights in contrasting ancient traditions with irrepressible youth. He portrays a vibrant community of students, fellows, staff and benefactors, all contributing in their own way to the multi-faceted life of the College. Dan's unforgettable images are also perfectly complemented by the photographs of College President, Professor Wei-Yao Liang, who captures the subtle beauty of the College through its many moods and seasons.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A Guide to The Commonwealth War Graves Commission looks at an extraordinary organisation carrying out an extraordinary task. Establishing the CWGC required people of huge vision to turn this terrible task into an international exemplar of how to honour the dead. The great founders, including Rudyard Kipling, took their task extremely seriously and devoted decades to designing and delivering their vision. As they enter their second century of operation, the CWGC Commissioners and staff around the world remain dedicated to holding high the torch of remembrance, conserving these special places so that the memories of those we look after are never lost to time. This guidebook is intended to show you some of the CWGC's treasures - to tell you more about a well-loved organisation and who they commemorate. It reviews the records and archives from the last century, explores the top CWGC sites alongside detailed maps (including Essex Farm Cemetery, Belgium; the Thiepval Memorial, France; Kohima War Cemetery, India; Tower Hill Memorial UK and more), highlights places not easily reached - and those most challenging to maintain - and summarises a view for the future. Trails for tours around Ieper (Ypres), Gallipoli, The Somme and The 'Forgotten Front' are included in detail. Featuring extracts from the remarkable archives in Maidenhead, which include records from the Commission's foundation up to the present day, this illustrated guide celebrates a century of dedication to the fallen and the CWGF commitment to engaging the wider community in the story of our common sacrifice and shared history.
