Sobre este artículo

UK,small 8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn.FINE/FINE.No owner inscrptn,and no price-clip to dw/dj.Glossy,b/w scenic photographic wrap-around illustrated dw/dj [Tower Bridge and boated river scene]; with negligible shelf-wear and minimal creasing to edges - no nicks or tears present.Top edge bright and clean,fore-edge lightly aged but clean; contents bright, tight and pristine - appears an unread copy.Unmarked,clean,navy-blue cloth boards with bright,crisp,stamped silver gilt letters to spine/backstrip and blue+white map illustrated endpapers - London Thames,East and West respectively.UK,small 8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn,vi-xpp+1-150pp includes half-title+title pages,contents list,an introduction,25 chapters, profuse b/w plates/illus+contemporary photographs throughout the text,a bibliography,picture credits and an index. Without the Thames there would be no London.From earliest times,the city's needs - whether for stone,gold or coal,for hay to feed livestock or food,wine and spices for human beings - were supplied from the river,as the fierce tides brought ships upstream or carried them down again.Only with the age of the trunk road and rail did London's global importance as a port diminish.Even after that the tides continued to drive the great power stations. Gavin Weightman's fascinating book,a compendium of often surprising information,is the best possible introduction to the water and its ways,the buildings that line the banks,and the people who lived by the river,their customs and ancient knowledge.Everything is to found here:trade and tide,lightermen,watermen and dockers,bridges,funnels and ferries,frost fairs and regattas,clear water,fish and wildlife,pollution and waste, fortification and defense.Above all one feels the presence of the great waterway itself,a force of nature in our urban midst.
