Sir James Mitchell's autobiography provides an intriguing insight into his long and eventful career at the forefront of Caribbean politics. During the thirty-five years that he was a Member of Parliament of the Grenadines, at the time of retirement, Sir James had been the longest serving Prime Minister in the Caribbean, having spent eighteen years as the head of government, and the only one to have served from Colonialism through Statehood and Independence. In addition to this, he was the only leader who founded a political party, and retired from office after winning four consecutive general elections.

Excerpt from Dendrologia: Or, a Treatise of Forest Trees, With Evelyn's SilvaR. Evelyn said he did not write for ordinary rustics, mere foresters and woodwardsz - dr. Dod dridge said he did not write for the learned, but for the ignorant - dr. Hunter said he did not write for the ignorant, but for the learned; he created a'large Jordan; I had the misfortune to fall into it, and in wading through, I met with many mutilated fragments from eve lyn's sylva, &#64258;oating therein; but the mass was nothing but slops - I write for the inquisitive, who read for informa tion on rural affairs.I have not described any wood or tree, but what I have actually surveyed and measured, except in two or three in stances, and there I have given a reference to my author. Therefore the work is genuine and authentic, free from plagiarism, but not free from errors. The way to the wood is various and intricate, on account Of soil, situation and climate. That few authors, when compared, agree; so difi'erently does the same Object paint itself to our im aginations; and those images are generally warped in the drawing by prej udiec, -generated by our own narrow ideas. On that account, I hope my kind and indulgent readers will weigh, measure, compare and think for them selves.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Our names are James and Jackson. In October of 2009 we made the decision to visit and take a photograph at every park in our hometown of Seattle, Washington; a city known for its natural beauty best observed through its exceptional park system. The basic idea was to include ourselves and the rainbow colored park sign that welcomes you to each park in each photograph to more or less "prove" we were there. It ended up taking us 3 years and 8 months to visit every one. We rode our bicycles to 207 of the parks and were able to include 187 different people in the project: some old friends, new friends, acquaintances, strangers, animals and even the Mayor of Seattle.This book is a 256 page, 11.8" x 8.85" hard back book that tells a personal story in the form of a field guide that belongs on a coffee table.

The Conservative Party has never been as unpopular in Scotland as it is today. By tracing the history and ideology of Conservatism in Scotland this new study helps to explain the Party's current weakness. It begins with an analysis of the Party's dominant role in developing its opposition to Scottish Home rule up to the mid-1960s and describes Edward Heath's brief flirtation with devolution in the late 1960s. The SNP challenge of the 1970s and the Conservative Party's persistent opposition to legislative devolution throughout the Labour Government are covered. Finally, the book moves up-to-date, looking at the increasing unpopularity of the Party in the 1980s and analyzing why Thatcherism has been unable to extend into a Scotland suffering from a supposed debilitating "dependency culture".
