Farewell, Promised Land
"Don't mistake the message of this sad and powerful book. After 150 years of pillage and pollution, it is time to fight like hell for California."--Mike Davis, author of City of Quartz "A heart rendingly splendid book for all who love California. It combines stunning photographic documentation of the trashing of the state with an eloquent, melancholy text that still offers guarded hopes for a green future."--Ernest Callenbach, author of Ecotopia
Bonnie Montrose
ÿOriginally published in 1899, this collection of poems and songs by Montrose resident William F McHardy was forgotten for more than a century until the author?s great grandson, Bob McHardy, rediscovered it and decided to republish it in his ancestor?s memory, with most of the profits divided between Cancer Research UK, the British Heart Foundation and Tesco?s Charity of the Year. This facsimile edition is a faithful paperback reproduction by Mereo of the original book published in Montrose by George A. Bowman.
Routledge Handbook of Climate Change and Society
As the time-scales of natural change accelerate and converge with those of society, Routledge Handbook of Climate Change and Society takes the reader into largely uncharted territory in its exploration of anthropogenic climate change.

Old Brechin
Brechin was once famous for its markets, and this book includes pictures of the Muckle Market in the High Street, plus gatherings at St Ninian's Square and Trinity Muir. It is brimming with social history, with pictures of children gathered for a photograph in Church Street following the big snowstorm of 1906, a shot of a First World War tank on fund-raising duties in St Ninian's Square, and Brechin councillors enjoying their annual summer picnic by the Mooran Water. Snowbound steam trains, the interior of Dakers', Smart's and Duke's weaving factories, and floods in River Street, are among some of the other images featured.
Digging Up The Pitmen
This is a family saga, over five generations, set against the social history of the South Yorkshire pit communities in the twentieth century: disasters, strikes and galas. It is the story of the North family: their relationships, births, deaths, family break-ups and get-togethers. Nigel North, at fifty-five, leads a secluded life in Newcastle after his wife's death. He has every expectation that it will stay that way until, in 1992, he receives a copy of the Last Will and Testament of his Uncle Albert, a South Yorkshire pitman who he has never met. He has been left a large sum of money. His ten cousins, of whom he has never heard, have each been left a much smaller sum. Nigel cannot conceive how his uncle knows of his existence, why he should bequeath him so much money and why his father severed himself from his family. The answers lie back in the pitmen's strike and, then, the inter-war years.
Reclaiming San Francisco
Reclaiming San Francisco is an anthology of fresh appraisals of the contrarian spirit of the city-a spirit "resistant to authority or control." The official story of San Francisco is one of progress, development, and growth. But there are other, unofficial, San Francisco stories, often shrouded in myth and in danger of being forgotten, and they are told here: stories of immigrants and minorities, sailors and waterfront workers, and poets, artists, and neighborhood activists-along with the stories of speculators, land-grabbers, and the land itself that need to be told differently. Contributors include historians, geographers, poets, novelists, artists, art historians, photographers, journalists, citizen activists, an architect, and an anthropologist. Passionate about the city, they want San Francisco to be more itself and less like the city of office towers, chain stores, theme parks, and privatized public services and property that appears to be its immediate fate. San Francisco is not alone in being transformed according to the dictates of the global economy. But San Franciscans are unusual in their readiness to confront the corporate agenda for their city.
