Collie Books
Chained to Your Heart - $8.50 What if you were forced to marry someone you barely knew? London, 1864. Any hopes eighteen-year-old Katherine Elizabeth Brady once had are now gone. She's heard the horrible tales about Newgate, the most notorious of all prisons. Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined herself being locked up there...until she was falsely accused of stealing. Now she shares a communal cell with twenty-five other men, women, and children, with no hope of release. After his parents were killed in a fire, young James Patrick Murphy was left to fend for himself. He did his best to work hard and earn his keep, but was caught stealing bread and cheese. That one hungry, desperate act landed him in Newgate. The other prisoners there seem afraid of "Big Red," as some call him. Rumors of his viciousness abound. But one young woman seems to see through to his heart. Then the prisoners are given "the privilege" of being transported to Botany Bay in Australia to finish their servitude and start a new life. But there's a catch to this freedom from the bars of Newgate: all single women must marry before departing for the rugged frontier. And love has nothing to do with it. A compelling story of danger and treachery, love and hope.

The Collie (A Vintage Dog Books Breed Classic) - $44.99 THE COLLIE By DR. O. P. Bennett And C.H. Wheeler. A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT Originally published in Washington 1924, and republished in a revised and up-dated edition in the same year, this extremely scarce early work on the Collie is both expensive and hard to find in any edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have republished the revised edition, using the original text and photographs, as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. The authors were highly respected figures in the dog world with Dr. Bennett being President of the Collie Club of America, and C.H. Wheeler being an expert on the history and origins of the Collie in the United Kingdom. Both men realised the great need for a modern volume on the Collie. This resulted in a work giving a fuller and more complete history of the breed than was hitherto available. They also took up the question of breeding in a more thorough manner than any other work of its kind in existence. The book's three hundred and fifty six pages consist of ten comprehensive chapters, illustrated with rare vintage photographs of Collie Champions for the period beginning circa 1874 through to 1923. Over two thirds of the work is devoted to detailed records of individual Collies. Although published in the U.S.A., the content is evenly divided between British Collies and their history, and their American cousins. Chapters include: - Origin - History - Blue Merles - American Collies - The Typical Collie - Breeding - Foods and Feeding - Kennelling - Exhibiting - Common Ailments. This is a fascinating read for any Collie enthusiast or historian of the breed, and also contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest dog breed books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
Huxley in America : T.H.Huxley,American Science,University Education and Scientific Propaganda, 1870 - 1880 - $79.81 Thomas Henry Huxley ,PC,FRS(1825 1895) was one of the most distinguished British scientists of the 19thc and was called Darwin's Bulldog for his advocacy of Darwin's theory of evolution. He was instrumental in developing university level science education in Britain but what is not well known is his enormous contribution to American science and science education especially in the decade 1870 to 1880. Michael Collie's new monograph discusses Huxley at this point in his career which was essentially before he was recognized widely by his own countrymen. This work discusses Huxley's American correspondence both with scientists and publishers in the United States leading up to his trip to America in 1876. The date was providential since national celebrations were ubiquitous and Huxley's visit coincided with patriotic effulgence (as well as with the massacre of General Custer at the hands of the Sioux and Cheyenne). Collie describes how Huxley's books and articles were received by American scientific community and how Huxley's efforts to propagandize not merely Darwin but the full armature of investigative science fell on willing ears. In fact ,the author argues, this trip was the turning point of his career. The study is divided into three major sections: Huxley's contacts with scientists and educators prior to his visit (1870-1876), the trip itself and the aftermath, with notes on Huxley's writings at the Humboldt Library. The trip itself includes new research on Huxley and the founding of Johns Hopkins University as well as his visit to Yale and the fruitful meetings with O.M.Marsh (new work on the origins of the horse came out of that discussion). The trip also included lectures in New York that were front page news (and strengthen Huxley's position in England. Personal matters also are discussed as Huxley's wife had American relatives and their contribution to the trip is also delineated. Finally,a full scale bibliography and preface provides a much need guide to Huxley's book publications both in America and in Europe and an assessment is made as to the success of his scientific as well as educational writings together with his scientific propaganda urging the establishment of modern research departments and centers in America.
