Moses Perley, a lawyer with the gift of contagious enthusiasm, was the first promoter of salmon angling in New Brunswick. In the early 1840s, he dangled sporting adventure of unimagined richness before the eyes of young men "blessed with youth, health, and an ardent temperament," The British and American anglers who rose to Perley's challenge formed the vanguard of progress. Steamships and coach roads brought them directly to the rivers, and, by 1876, the Intercolonial Railway delivered anglers almost to the edge of the salmon pools. The Governor General of Canada, the Marquess of Lorne, spent two weeks on the Restigouche with the irrepressible Princess Louise and their vice-regal retinue, fly-fishing by day, and by night reposing in carpeted tents. Moses Perley didn't foresee the results of luring anglers to New Brunswick's teeming rivers. Before 1890, his romantic wilderness dream had metamorphosed into the reality of leased waters and elaborate permanent camps for the wealthy few, and the reduction of the native guides from respected companions to servants. In Lost Land of Moses, Peter Thomas illuminates Perley's mixed legacy.

The eighteenth-century was long deemed 'the classical age of the constitution' in Britain, with cabinet government based on a two-party system of Whigs and Tories in Parliament, and a monarchy whose powers had been emasculated by the Glorious Revolution o. This study furthers the work of Sir Lewis Namier who argued in 1929 that no such party system existed, George III was not a cypher and that Parliament was an administration comprising of factions and opposition. George III was a high-profile and well-known character in British history whose policies have often been blamed for the loss of Britain's American colonies, around whom rages a perennial dispute over his aims: was he seeking to restore royal power, or merely excercising his constitutional rights?. The first chronological survey of the first ten years of George III's reign through power politics and policy-making.

Taking a functional rather than an ecosystem or a utilitarian approach, Thomas and Packham provide a concise account of the structure of woodlands and forests. Using examples from around the world - from polar treelines to savannahs to tropical rain forests - the authors explain the structure of the soil and the hidden world of the roots; how the main groups of organisms which live within them interact both positively and negatively. There is particular emphasis on woodland and forest processes, especially those involving the flow and cycling of nutrients, as well as the dynamics of wooded areas, considering how and why they have changed through geological time and continue to do so. This clear, non-technical, 2007 text will be of interest to undergraduates, foresters, ecologists and land managers.
