Very slight shelf wear to top edge of D/j. The colourful and idiosyncratic story of a bookish young Englishman's real education in LA. Working for The Times, William Cash danced with Madonna, was jailed by Disneyland at Liz Taylor's sixtieth birthday party, covered the LA riots from the safety of the Playboy Mansion, took David Hockney's Wagnerian tour of the Santa Monica mountains, power-lunched with Jackie Collins - and observed the macabre pantomime of California's first execution in twenty-five years from inside San Quinton prison. Here, he launches a radical and coruscating assault on the booming cult of celebrity and an irreverent but entertaining exposure of the dark side of the Tinseltown star system. Witty, iconoclastic, highly intelligent and well-informed, this is the story of William Cash's adventures and encounters with LA's celebrity and cultural high and low life - a foreign correspondent's two years in Hollywood. Illustrated. 293 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.). ., Simon & Schuster, 1993, 3, Gyan Books Pvt.

It is strange and shocking too that centuries old sufferings and deprivations of the weaker sections of Indian Society could not be properly and legitimately attended to by social scientists. Weaker Sections : The Psycho-Social Perspective systematically presents the conditions of weaker sections, viz. The Scheduled Castes and Tribes, weakest of the weakers, the scavengers, Minorities, Women, Children and Aged People in their psycho-social perspective. The socioeconomic, social and psychological hardships and sufferings faced by them, however, remained an untold fact. The book posits the information of strong and weak points of these sections based on empirical studies, and critical and objective Views by a galaxy of psychologists, social reformers, sociologists, historians and many others. Such information will be of immense use not only to planners and Policy makers in the planning of remedial Measures to be taken for the upliftment of weaker sections but also to the social scientists, researchers and social workers.

Very Good/Very Good. 6.25" x 9.5. Since the war Scotland has been profoundly altered. Its native tradition of entrepreneurial capitalism has disappeared. Its heavy industries have rapidly declined. It has become a branch economy soliciting international investment. Its crowded old cities have spread themselves into the country dormitories. The grip of the Kirk has been much weakened. The Conservatives have slumped from a historic high-water mark in 1955 to their present low ebb. The Nationalists come and go but Labour's strength seems geological. For 100 years and more Scotland has agitated for some form of home rule. The cycle has repeated itself at intervals. It elicits promises and placatory responses from governments. It has produced a steady increase in administrative devolution. The Grand Committee has been tarted up more times than Mae West. But still a Scottish parliament eludes us. Arnold Kemp has written a personal history of the post-war period. He uses his experiences as an editor and journalist as a starting point for discussing themes which he considers both in their historical context and their modern implications, in a style that is at once anecdotal and analytical., Mainstream Publishing, 1993, 3, Duke University Press Books, 1994-06-17.

John Wisden & Co., London, first edition, 2013. Cloth, 8vo,. xxiii, 439, [1] pp, colour plates, ills. From the blurb: "John Wisden, at his peak known as 'The Little Wonder', was a key member of the England cricket team who in 1859 sailed across the Atlantic on the world's first overseas cricket tour. In 1864, after his retirement, Wisden published the first edition of the book that would make his name immortal. He printed 'full and accurate scores' along with indispensable facts about the Derby, the St Leger, the university rowing matches 'and other Interesting Information', including potted histories of the Wars of the Roses. The 1864 edition is now valued at anything up to GBP25,000, and Wisden Cricketers' Almanack has been published continuously ever since - not for nothing is it known as 'the cricketer's bible'. The Almanack has, despite some close shaves, never missed a year. In 1937 it was just 48 hours from liquidation, and in the Second World War a German bomber set fire to the company's headquarters, destroying its records. And yet somehow, the yellow (since 1938) book has retained its antique, rugged character. It is a labour-of-love collection of records for cricket obsessives, but also a hearty eccentric. It loves to count the number of wides in a season, but also delights in relating tales from far-flung pavilions. Through the telling of Wisden's story, we also glimpse the history of English - and world - cricket. The book is a window onto the game's most charismatic characters, its high points, lows and political storms. In The Little Wonder Robert Winder traces the central role the game has played in national life for so long. The book's 150th anniversary in 2013 is the ideal time to tell the extraordinary story of Wisden's - and cricket's - journey from Victorian times to the modern world. New every year, it feels as though it has been with us for ever. ".
