Well researched and comprehensive specialist account of the Western Australian water supply from1895-2003. Fascinating engineering history. From the foreword: "Charles Yelverton O'Connor was a brilliant engineer. That is self evident. he was innovative, resourceful,determined, and gifted with a razor sharp mind that found answers where others only found problems. What is perhaps not so self-evident in this Western Australian and national hero is the fact that he was capable of accomplishing many major - some would describe them as herculean - infrastructure tasks at the same time. Apart from his legendary Goldfields Pipeline, among other projects established under is watch was Fremantle Harbour, stamping him forever as one of the State's most important pioneers. A man who almost single-handedly pushed Western Australia into the 20th century." Quantity Available: 4. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos. Category: History, Australian History.

Catherine the Great: Love, Sex, and Power
Rounding, Virginia
ISBN: 0091799929
Hutchinson London 2006
8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hard Cover New book, 566 pages. Dutiful daughter, frustrated wife, passionate lover, domineering mother, doting grandmother, devoted friend, tireless legislator, generous patron of artists and philosophers - the Empress Catherine II, the Great, was all these things and more. Her reign, the longest in Russian Imperial history, lasted from 1762 until her death in 1796; during those years she built on the work begun by her most famous predecessor, Peter the Great, to establish Russia as a major European power and to transform its new capital, St Petersburg, into a city to rival Paris or London in the beauty of its architecture, the glittering splendour of its Court, and the magnificence of its art collections. Using many of Catherine's own words from her voluminous correspondence and other documents, as well as contemporary accounts by courtiers, ambassadors and foreign visitors, Virginia Rounding seeks to penetrate the character of this most powerful, fascinating and surprisingly sympathetic of eighteenth century women.
