A Very Good+ unmarked copy which has some very small indentations to front and a bump to lower front corner and a line of indentation and minor marks to back but internally Fine. A very large format volume of 240 pages. Censorship is a disturbing concept, usually referring to the act of someone in authority who prevents us reading certain words or seeing certain images. By implication, it can also mean we are persuaded to accept phoney material as genuine or consider a distorted context as the supposed truth. Traditionally censorship is associated with scheming politicians and government officials who plot to hide crucial facts from a gullible public. Years later, when historians and journalists pore over newly released official documents, we discover another version of history. This book investigates some of the most glaring examples of photographs which have been banned, doctored, manipulated or suppressed in order to dupe the viewer. **** NOT EX LIB **** PLEASE…

New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1939. A near Fine unmarked copy with VG dustjacket. xvi + 632 pages. The Old Testament is the greatest storehouse of biography ever written, yet its very wealth in vigorous personalities has, to a degree, obscured the story of these mighty characters. Their inspiring histories have been so intertwined with the events of their day that, except to the most careful reader, the real individual has not been entirely clear. In this volume Professor James presents the immortal personalities of the Old Testament as leaders in the thought and action of Israel, with each one standing out in full view against the background of the time. Such men as Moses, David, Hosea, Nehemiah, such women as Deborah are the subjects of these biographies, each one built on a carefully explored and firmly laid foundation. **** NOT EX LIB **** PLEASE NOTE: A HEAVY VOLUME OF 1.065 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST R3.

The Wellcome Trust is the largest and most significant benefactor ever to British medical research, yet few people, even those aware of the international pharmaceutical company that bears his name, know anything about its founder, Henry Solomon Wellcome. His life was an extraordinary story of achievement and disappointment, triumph and sadness, that began in deep poverty in northern Wisconsin in 1853 and ended in his death in London in 1936 as a celebrated and greatly honoured millionaire. His outstanding achievement, with his equally yound partner, the mercurial Silas Burroughs, was to finance and build research laboratories in Britain that made…
