Oxfam bookshop wallingford in the closing years of the 18th century, the old polish state paid the price of over 100 years of ungovernability in political extinctionbringing together polish scholarship previously inaccessible to english-speaking readers, the author examines the economy, the society and the institutional structure of early modern poland and analyzes her loss of national sovereignty in the light of poland's lack of political centralization and dynastic strengthnot only does this book illuminate a much neglected area of european history, and assist those trying to make sense of poland's heritage, it also provides much comparative material for students of early modern history in generalat the very time that monarchial absolutism seemed to be collapsing in western europe, the dismemberment of the polish "noble democracy" affirmed absolutism's triumph in the eastbetween and an area of eastern europe larger than france was divided among russia, prussia and austriafurthermore no reader could fail to be struck by the parallels in the problematic relationship between poland and russia in the 18th century and todaysee oxfam website for delivery information read more

This is how one online source describes it: "the interest of the book to present-day readers lies not so much in the detailed methods adopted by elliot in the field, but rather in light shed on the agricultural problems of the closing years of the nineteenth century and the picture it gives of a man of highly independent mind striving to influence his fellow farmers with rather less than no support from official sources" see oxfam website for delivery information read moregeorge stapledonbut don't be fooled: this is an extremely practical book, which is why it remained in print for so many decadesthis may be an unfair observation, but there can surely be few modern manuals on agricultural matters that quote both milton and confucius within the first few pagesbeside a photographic illustration (plate 1) of 'the seeds used in laying down land to grass on the clifton park system'Â one comes across a wonderfully poetic list of grassesbetween pages 52 and 53 he left interleaved an advertisement for 'stabilarsan veterinary for the treatment of blackhead in turkeys'Â (this is an example of the sort of casual ephemera that sets my own pulses racing): which suggests he was a proper farmer himself, and not just someone who approved of literary allusions? anyone who has a deep and abiding love of our northern borderlands (still largely devoted to sheep-farming) will want to read this insightful and informative little book about tried and tested methods of farming, both traditional and modern, in the hill country of roxburghshirethe clifton park system of farming, by robert hthis volume's owner, one 'jthe pasture would be turned under after four to eight years, row crops grown until the humus levels declined to a threatening level, and then the field would be restored to grass/clover/herbal mixturesforeword by sir rbrett'Â purchased it in foyles inapparently "elliot developed a system of laying down land to grass, dependent on little input except a complex mixture of deep-rooting pasture seeds'effect of turnips on'Â etcwho can resist names such as 'italian ryegrass', 'tufted hair grass'Â 'mountain hair grass', or 'yorkshire fog'? or, after turning to the index, these names of fields (all from clifton park): 'alghope', 'bowmont side', 'hayhope shank', 'longshot'Â and 'stackyard'? or this entry: 'sheep, death from swallowing grit'Â " it may be worth noting that regenerative farming of the kind recommended in these pages is currently making a comebackindeed the board of agriculture and the newly formed agricultural colleges were supporting the 'fertilizer and feeding stuff'Â approach to farming, which in elliot's view would be largely unnecessary under a rational system of grassland managementpoor jacket, book in good conditionoriginal dust-jacket (badly torn but still intact)fold-out map in rearmaroon cloth boards

This book analyzes in detail the complicated relationship between conservatives and nazis and offers a re-interpretation of the nazi seizure of power - the decisive months between 30 january and 14 julythe machtergreifung is characterized here as a period of all-pervasive violence and lawlessness with incessant conflicts between nazis and german nationals and nazi attacks on the conservative brgertum, a far cry from the traditional depiction of the takeover as a relatively bloodless, virtually sterile assumption of power by one vast impersonal apparatus wresting control from anotherthe author scrutinizes the revolutionary character of the nazi seizure of power, the nazis' attacks on the conservative brgertum and its values, and national socialism's co-optation of conservative symbols of state power to serve radically new goals, while addressing the issue of why the dnvp was complicit in this and paradoxically participated in eroding the foundations of its very own principles and bases of supportoxfam shop nether edge on 30 january , alfred hugenberg's conservative german national people's party (dnvp) formed a coalition government with the nazi party, thus enabling hitler to accede to the chancellorshipsee oxfam website for delivery information read more
