Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. Nea name and date on ffep. 236 pages clean and tight. WILLIAM ADDISON (I8o2---I88I) survives obscurely in histories of medicine today as a fore-runner of Cohnheirn in describing the outward passage of white blood cells through the intact walls of small blood-vessels during the inflammatory process. Based on a thorough survey of relevant English, French and German medical and biological literature of the mid-nineteenth century, as well as on an analysis of all of Addison's writings, this book presents a quite different picture of his role. Addison was involved peripherally in two of the revolutions of biological science that took place in the nineteenth century, the first when the `fibre' theory of plant and animal structure yielded to the cell theory as originally… Read More

Dick Blenkinsop was born in Warwick in 1930 and his early interest in railways did not mature until after the Second World War.

A trained engineer, he has restored a 1938 steam roller and is now working on a 1920 Garrett steam motor tractor. Amongst his other interests is listening to good music.

When an accident with an open oil lantern set the American clipper Hornet alight in 1866, the 31 passengers and crew were forced to abandon ship. Cast adrift in three small lifeboats, they had less than 10 days rations to share between them. They were over 1000 miles from the nearest island. Over the next six weeks they were to encounter every danger the Pacific could throw at them. They were attacked by sharks and swordfish. They endured storms, and even tornadoes. Their hunger became so intense that they resorted to eating their clothes, and later, half-mad from the effects of drinking sea-water, were driven to the edge of cannibalism. A FURNACE AFLOAT tells the story of their 4000-mile voyage through the eyes of three men, who kept… Read More

For four decades, the Royal Air Force has been at the forefront of NATO's European defences, ready to bring its accumulated skills into play in the face of the formidable threat from the East. Now that threat has dissipated virtually overnight, and for the RAF and its allied air forces the present decade is likely to be one of radical change. The momentous events that have taken place in Eastern Europe write finis to the Cold War and the long-standing confrontation between NATO and the Warsaw Pact.
