Cummins, John The Art of Medieval Hunting: The Hound and the Hawk.
Edison, N.J. Castle Books: 2003. Hardcover in dust jacket. Good. Good. Octavo
306 Pages with Illustrations, notes, bibliography, and index. " The gentlemen of medieval and Renaissance Europe had three all-consuming passions: warfare, courtly love, and hunting with a hawk or hound—and the philosophy behind the last of the trio really encompasses them all. Hunting, the sport of kings, served as training for battle, a rite of manhood, and a powerful ritualistic pastime. In vivid and engrossing detail, here are all the appropriate methods for hunting deer, boar, wolves, foxes, bears, otters, birds, hares...even unicorns! A dazzling diversity of sources (poems, ballads, letters, court directives, royal accounts, gamekeepers' handbooks, psalters) illustrate how hunting and hawking appear throughout medieval art and literature as metaphors and motifs for everything from romance to combat."

Darvill gives special attention to six themes that are traced through all phases of prehistory: subsistence, technology, ritual, trade, society, and population. Throughout, emphasis is given to documenting and explaining changes within these prehistoric communities, and to exploring the regional variations found around Britain. Darvill rounds off his study with a review of the effects of prehistoric communities on life today."

de Maupassant, Guy A Woman's Life (Une Vie)
The Nonesuch Press and The Heritage Press : London 1942 Hardcover. Good Octavo
216 pp "A Women's Life is built to the measure of those long, leisurely narratives in which we see a human life shaping its slow course over a long span of years, with its promise and performance , its vital trends and sorrows, its faltering plans, its failures. But it is only when the book is read and read again, and enjoyed and understood, that its real theme become evident. It becomes evident then that for Maupassant the life of a woman is typical of all of life; it may even be suggested that he said to himself, in whatever might have been the French argo of the day. 'Them women, they're all the same. ' "

Douglas, David William the Conqueror : The Norman Impact on England.
University of California Press 1964. Hardcover in DJ. Good/Good Octavo
476 pp "No medieval King is more famous than William the Conqueror, and no event in the whole of English history has been more debated than the Norman conquest... a fresh analysis has been made both of the causes, and of the true character, of the Norman impact upon England in the eleventh century. In two respects the book may be said to make a new approach to the subject. Professor Douglas has sought to disregard such polemic as extraneous to the circumstances of the eleventh century and to interpret his subject in the only proper way, which is through the medium of contemporary evidence. Secondly, he takes the view that the Norman influence on England can never be adequately assessed unless a fresh attempt is made to appraise and explain the political and ecclesiastical character of the Normandy which confronted England in 1066."
