But on a deeper and more meaningful level it is the story of a man approaching middle age who admits that he is bored with his way of life and has the courage to do something about it.....Blue boards, bookplate to fep...name to ffep.

Description:
New York: Wynwood Press, 1989. Some years before Charles Berlitz wrote his internationally successful 'Bermuda Triangle', he'd begun researching a section of the Pacific known only as the Dragon Sea. His research revealed that lost craft of all sizes had vanished within the Dragon's Triangle. Tankers, military ships, armed nuclear submarines, research and scientific expeditions, fish processing factories - hundreds of ships sailed into the triangle and vanished.... without any trace of shipwreck flotsam, in calm seas, without any distress message and few survivors. The disappearences were significant enough for Japan to declare the area a danger zone. This book offers new insight into the strange and dramatic riddle of the Dragon's Triangle, one of the truly great natural mysteries of our world. Illustrated with b/w photos. Grey boards with a dragon and triangle embossed to front board. Black cloth spine with red print. Map and chart endpapers. Price-intact dust jacket… Read More

New York: Doubleday & Company Inc. (c.1950) 250 pp. An affectionate account of the remarkable elephants who work in Burma's teak forests, by the man who spent twenty-five years directing elephants in peace and war. With 32 pages of photographs.... a few taken by the author, the others by Muir Wright, Fish Herring, John Booth and the late Peter Bankes... Here is the complete life cycle of the elephant, which, strangely, parallels that of man. Many elephants... the brave ones...the wise ones...the murderous ones and the jokers... spring to life in these pages. Colonel Williams continues with the heroic record of the elephants as soldiers in the Burma Campaign and includes a vivid description of the harrowing trek of 45 of them on a march over the trackless six thousand foot mountains to India.... a feat unequalled except perhaps by Hannibal. Written with delightful humour, 'Elephant Bill' is filled with astonishing information about jungle lore and native superstition. The reader will… Read More

New York: Doubleday & Company Inc. 1967 (1967) Review Slip laid in. Of many, these questions are asked: "Does the establishment of a Jewish state in Israel demonstrate the eternity of the Jewish people and their mission, which is the cornerstone of the Jewish faith?" " To what extent do young Sabras born in Israel identify themselves as Jews; and to what extent can Jews in other countries identify with the Isralis?" This book was the result of two visits to Israel in 1963 and 1964 by the author. It is a reflection on the Israeli experience and also on the past, present, and future of the Jews. The author says," It is an attempt at an objective survey, and also by the very nature of the subject, an act of personal testimony, the statement of a personal attitude toward Judaism." An important part of his study is an analysis of the ambivalent relationship between Judaism and anti-Semitism. Bergundy cloth boards. Gilt to spine.. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Fair.

Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire: Colin Smythe Ltd., 1973. . 66 pp.. Introduction by the author. A handbook intended mainly for professional translators. "The original glossary on which this handbook is based included entries in French, Spanish, Portuguese. German, Swedish and Russian; but since French is by far the most important language from which English-speaking translators have to work in the international organizations, and since the principals discussed under the more general headings apply to translation from any language, the entries relating to the other languages have been omitted from the present edition." Since the bulk of the material collected deals with the problems of immediate concern to the growing army of international conference translators rather than to the translator of technical treatises or of fiction or biography or poetry, it occured to the author that it might be useful to publish it with the conference translator particularly in mind.
