![]() ![]() Author: Lovecraft H. P., Pinchot Bronson (NRT), Crossley Steven (NRT), Porter Davina (NRT), Peckham Mark (NRT) Publisher: Audiogo In 1927, H. P. Lovecraft published a 30,000?word essay titled 'Supernatural Horror in Literature.' In it, the father of American horror writing, whose tales presented one of the earliest scholarly studies of the supernatural in fiction, defined the horror story as one in which 'a certain atmosphere of breathless and unexplainable dread of outer, unknown forces must be present.' With H. P. Lovecraft's Book of the Supernatural, Stephen Jones uses Lovecraft's essay as inspiration for an anthology of nineteen selections, each preceded by an excerpt from Lovecraft. Includes the following: 'The Tale of the German Student' by Washington Irving, 'Markheim' by Robert Louis Stevenson, 'Who Knows?' by Guy de Maupassant, 'The Invisible Eye' by Erckmann?Chatrian, 'The Torture' by Hope by Villiers de l'Isle Adam, 'Ms. Found in a Bottle' by Edgar Allan Poe, 'What Was It?' by Fitz James O'Brien, 'The Middle Toe of the Right Foot' by Ambrose Bierce, 'The Turn of the Screw' by Henry James, 'The Dead Smile' by F. Marion Crawford, 'The Wind in the Rose?Bush' by Mary E. Wilkins?Freeman, 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, 'The Recrudescence of Imray' by Rudyard Kipling, 'The Hands of Karma (Ingwa?banashi)' by Lafcadio Hearn, 'The Burial of the Rats' by Bram Stoker, 'The Red Lodge' by H. R. Wakefield, 'The Captain of the Pole?Star' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, 'The Villa Desiree' by May Sinclair, 'The Voice in the Night' by William Hope Hodgson, and 'Novel of the White Powder' by Arthur Machen. The book also includes a short essay from Lovecraft himself, 'Notes on Writing Weird Fiction,' in which he lays out tips and rules for mastering the form. € 27,70

(CON), Porter Venetia (EDT), Rosser-Owen Mariam (EDT) Publisher: Tauris Academic Studies The material and visual culture of the Islamic World casts vast arcs through space and time, and encompasses a huge range of artefacts and monuments from the minute to the grandiose, from ceramic pots to the great mosques.

This rich and detailed volume makes a significant contribution to the fields of Art History, Architecture, and Islamic Studies, bringing new objects to light, and shedding new light on old objects € 112,50

![]() ![]() Author: Porter William F. (EDT), Erickson Jon D. (EDT), Whaley Ross S. (EDT) Publisher: Syracuse Univ Pr In the late 1880s, exploitation of forests in the Adirondack region of New York raised the first concerns and actions in the U.S. about the impact of humans on the environment, leading to the establishment of a protected Forest Park. The Adirondack Park Agency was subsequently created in the 1960s to further regulate both the public and private lands within the park boundary. In this text, 39 American academics, researchers, woodlands management professionals, environmental activists, and journalists explore the knowledge gained by the Agency over the past three-plus decades. The 34 chapters examine the Adirondack ecosystem and its relationship with the economy; the cultural history, institutional mechanisms and political economy that form the social cornerstone of the park; and the perspectives of those who reacted to the political conflict of the park agency years, seeking resolution through a balance of conservation and development. Academic but accessible to the general reader. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) € 42,10
