They won the Test series 3-1, with 1 draw, the other First-Class matches 5-1, with 6 draws, their minor games 4-0, with 1 draw and won the one day game. Five of their victories were by an innings and they were only defeated by Australia in the 1st Test and in their second match against New South Wales. It was, overall, a very successful tour. Len Hutton, England’s first professional captain since 1877The selection of the M.C.C touring team was not without controversy. Len Hutton was the first professional England captain since Arthur Shrewsbury in 1876-77 other than temporary stop-gap. This break with tradition received much criticism from those who thought only an gentleman should hold this honour, but England had been heavily defeated by Australia in every series since the war, and even the West Indies in 1950.

A Colored Man Round the World $56.1 This remarkable book, written by former slave David F. Dorr, published in the mid-nineteenth century and only recently rediscovered, is an uncommon travel narrative. In the 1850s Dorr accompanied Louisiana plantation owner Cornelius Fellowes on a tour of the world’s major cities, with the promise that when they returned to the United States, Dorr would be given his freedom. When that promise was broken, Dorr escaped to Ohio and wrote of his experiences in A Colored Man Round the World. Malini Johar Schueller has edited and annotated the 1858 text and added a critical introduction that provides a useful context for understanding and appreciating this important but heretofore neglected document. Her edition of A Colored Man Round the World provides a fascinating account of Dorr’s negotiation of the conflicting roles of slave versus man, taking into account all of the racial complexities that existed at the time. As a traveler abroad, Dorr claimed an American selfhood that allowed him mobility in Europe, and he benefited from the privileges accorded American Orientalists venturing in the near East. However, any empowerment that Dorr experienced while a tourist vanished upon his return to America.The book will be welcomed for the rare perspective it provides of the mid-nineteenth century, through the eyes of an African-American slave and for the light it casts on world and U.S. history as well as on questions of racial and national identity.Malini Johar Schueller is Professor of English, University of Florida. |

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court $1.99 221 b/w illustrationsA Connecticut Yankee is Mark Twain’s most ambitious work, a tour de force with a science-fiction plot told in the racy slang of a Hartford workingman, sparkling with literary hijinks as well as social and political satire. Mark Twain characterized his novel as “one vast sardonic laugh at the trivialities, the servilities of our poor human race.” The Yankee, suddenly transported from his native nineteenth-century America to the sleepy sixth-century Britain of King Arthur and the Round Table, vows brashly to “boss the whole country inside of three weeks.” And so he does. Emerging as “The Boss,” he embarks on an ambitious plan to modernize Camelot-with unexpected results. Daniel Carter Beard illustrated the first edition of Yankee in 1889, and Mark Twain praised his work as “better than the book-which is a good deal for me to say, I reckon.” This Mark Twain Library edition reprints the text based on the author’s manuscript, all 221 of Beard’s illustrations, and the notes from the California scholarly edition. Author Biography:The Mark Twain Project is a major editorial and publishing program of The Bancroft Library. Its six resident editors are at work on a comprehensive scholarly edition of all of Mark Twain’s private papers and published works. Twenty-three of an estimated seventy volumes in The Works and Papers of Mark Twain are currently available. |

A Consumer’s Guide to the Apocalypse: Why There Is No Cultural War in America and Why We Will Perish Nonetheless $20.4 What accounts for the apocalyptic angst that is now so clearly present among Americans who do not subscribe to any religious orthodoxy? Why do so many popular television shows, films, and music nourish themselves on this very angst? And why do so many artists–from Coldplay to Tori Amos to Tom Wolfe–feel compelled to give it expression? It is tempting to say that America’s fears and anxieties are understandable in the light of 9/11, the ongoing War on Terror, nuclear proliferation, and the seemingly limitless capacity of science to continually challenge our conceptions of the universe and ourselves. Perhaps, too, American culture remains so permeated by Protestant Christianity that even avowed skeptics cannot pry themselves from its grip. In A Consumer’s Guide to the Apocalypse, Eduardo Velasquez argues that these answers are too pat. Velasquez’s astonishing thesis is that when we peer into contemporary artists’ creative depiction of our sensibilities we discover that the antagonisms that fuel the current cultural wars stem from the same source. Enthusiastic religions and dogmatic science, the flourishing of scientific reason and the fascination with mystical darkness, cultural triumphalists and multicultural ideologues are all sustained by the same thing: a willful commitment to the basic tenets of the Enlightenment. Velasquez makes his point with insightful readings of the music of Coldplay, Tori Amos, and Dave Matthews and the fiction of Michael Frayn’s Copenhagen, Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club, and Tom Wolfe’s I Am Charlotte Simmons. Written with grace and humor, and directed toward the lay reader, A Consumer’s Guide to the Apocalypse is a tour de force of culturalanalysis. |

A Fork on the Road: 400 Cities/One Stomach $11.99 A seasoned comedian’s love letter to America’s food curiosities—the regional cuisines, the culinary oddities, the weird and the wonderful “Mark DeCarlo is a [modern-day] Groucho Marx.” —PEOPLE Whether it be fish ice cream, kudzu tempura, or even sausage, Mark DeCarlo always wonders, “Who the hell thought to eat this stuff the first time?” We find out in this hilarious celebration of the genesis of America’s most creative and idiosyncratic food traditions, and the people who keep these food traditions alive.  Join the master comedian on his journey across the United States to visit these people and their foods in their natural habitats—places like the French Quarter of New Orleans, lush Maui resorts, and the Annual Road Kill Cook-off Festival in West Virginia. From the obvious and beloved (Buffalo wings, Boston clam chowder, hush puppies, and strawberry shortcake) to the bizarre and, well, beloved by some (Rocky Mountain oysters, fried rattlesnake, scrapple, and deep fried Twinkies), DeCarlo takes readers on a rollicking tour of the people and places behind America’s greatest food inventions.  Each chapter features the story behind a particular food (moosehead soup, anyone?) and the people who love it. Signature recipes, snapshot photos from the road, along with “Road Rules” on how to discover the real America all spice up the travelogue. It’s a love letter to America’s culinary curiosities, providing armchair travelers with a tour of the wackiest and kitschiest food festivals, delicacies, and people this country has to offer.    FROM THE AUTHOR’S FOREWORDConsider the oyster. Unopened, dirty, and habitually covered with muddy, green crap. If you didn’t know that it was hollow and contained a tasty glob of salty protein, would you |

A History of Australian Baseball $18.18 Through extensive interviews and archival research, Joe Clark has uncovered the engaging details of Australian baseball s unique, and often turbulent, 125-year history, and for the first time the dynamic story of Australian baseball is told. Initially accepted only grudgingly in the late nineteenth century as an off-season substitute for cricket, baseball in Australia steadily rose in prominence. Starting with neighborhood games played between improvised teams, the sport grew to include state and national leagues and a spirited international competition. Both the shortcomings and the triumphs of Australian baseball are revealed in A History of Australian Baseball: Time and Game, from an ill-fated late-nineteenth-century baseball tour of America and the political firestorm surrounding the formation of the Australian Baseball League in the 1990s, to the amazing defeat of the powerhouse Cuban team in the Intercontinental Cup of 1999. |

A Lady’s Experience in the Wild West in 1883 $10.95 The aristocratic Rose Pender and her husband, James, were among the thousands of English travelers in the American West during the latter half of the nineteenth century. This is Pender”s lively account of a grand tour in 1883 of Texas, California, Salt Lake City, Wyoming, Dakota Territory, and far-flung points. A. B. Guthrie Jr. in his foreword writes that all students and collectors will want A Lady”s Experiences in the Wild West in 1883. It deals with a West in transition from frontier to the glimmer of modern times, from open range to fenced pastures, from trails to trains, from makeshift and made-do to more convenient and easier ways. We see it through the eyes and from the sensibilities of a gentlewoman and a Britisher to boot. The woman was indeed a Lady. She brought to America her highborn prejudices and standards. . .and with them a sharp eye, a chatty pen, and a game spirit. . . . She adds to our knowledge of a time no one is old enough to remember. |

A Riot of Our Own $16 Johnny Green was a footloose slacker who loved punk rock, stumbled into being a roadie for the Sex Pistols, then tripped again into a job pushing sound equipment for the Clash and driving their beat-up van to performances in the mean industrial towns of England. Disaffected youth anointed the Clash as their spokesmen and made the group synonymous with punk itself in the late 1970s. Eventually becoming the band’s road manager, Green had a unique vantage point from which to witness the burgeoning punk rock movement while helping the band in their perpetual search for women, booze, and drugs. Green was with the Clash when they conquered America, bringing with them their bad behavior and great music, and burning out after their third, too-long tour. Written in a tell-it-as-it-was style and accompanied by contemporaneous drawings by Ray Lowry, who tagged along with the Clash on their American tour as their official war artist, A Riot of Our Own pierces the heart of the culture and music of punk rock and the people who lived it. |

A River Seen Right: A Fly Fisherman’s North Umpqua $24.96 Oregon’s North Umpqua River contains miles of the best steelhead and trout water in North America; its pool and riffles draw anglers the world over. Michael Baughman has fished these waters most of his life, and A River Seen Right is his testament to what he has learned there.The North Umpqua flows past thousands of years of history, with three-thousand-year-old bird points still able to be found at the water’s edge. In the twentieth century, renowned sportsmen such as Zane Grey have come to the river, tramping up the steps of the famed Steamboat Inn, whose history is detailed here. There are some candid words on the danger of increased fishing pressure on the viability of the fishery. The book speaks of fly patterns, productive pools, and the best seasons to fish (mostly the uncrowded ones), but its bent is not practical. Rather, Baughman brings us along on an extended tour of the river to talk about fishing, the river’s rich history, and some pleasant memories – like an afternoon’s walk at streamside with an old friend.The book is graced with photographs by Dan Callaghan, who is also lucky enough to call the North Umpqua his home water.Any fly fisherman, from any place, will want this special book. (71/4 X 81/4, 156 pages, color photos, b&w photos, map) |
