From visits to this Himalayan kingdom totaling seven months from 1999 to 2005, Mary Peck's fifty-six black-and-white photographs command attention and allow the reader to look at the landscapes, people, ceremonies, and architecture as if witnessed firsthand.

EVERGLADES, home to staggering numbers of plants and animals, is to wetlands what Kilimanjaro is to mountains, the Amazon to rivers, or the Grand Canyon to cracks in the Earth. Like these iconic places, the Everglades is singular and sublime. Nothing remotely matches it. Once a continuous sheet of water covering the southern half of the Florida peninsula, less than half the original Everglades survived development. Now diminished and relatively desiccated, the Everglades persists, in the vivid words of author William deBuys, as a kind of inundated Kansas of water, grass, and muck, ending in the dense mangrove forests that edge the sea. Mary Peck grew up in Florida, barely an hour away from the Everglades but separated from the wetlands by air conditioning and pavement. Revisiting South Florida as an adult, she saw the Everglades for the first time. Her photographs combine with deBuys s account of the natural and political history of the Everglades to underline the tension between awe at the power of our experience in wild places today and the knowledge that those very places are being lost.

Reflecting on the Labor government of Harold Wilson between 1964 and 1970, this concise analysis chronicles the Labor Party from its early days up to the early 1960s, including a 1972 postscript. Demonstrating how empirical and flexible the Labor Party has been about certain issues, this reference also touches on how it is one of the most dogmatic political parties in regards to the parliamentary system. Commenting on why its leaders have always made devotion to this system their fixed point of reference, this political overview proves that this has always been the conditioning factor of their political behavior, as they consistently reject any kind of political action which has fallen outside the framework and conventions of Parliament. Stating that there is no distinction to be made between Labor’s political and industrial leaders, this study illustrates the party as it is now and has always been—one of modest social reform in a capitalist system within whose confines it is ever more firmly and by now irrevocably rooted.
