Blackburn, Julia DAISY BATES IN THE DESERT A Woman's Life Among the Aborigines
New York Vintage Books/Random House 1995 0679744460 / 9780679744467 Softcover Fine
Softcover in excellent condition, no markings, a little sticker residue on back, light spotting on one page edge. 232 pages. ; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; From Publishers Weekly: Blackburn ( The Emperor's Last Island ) here presents a biography of the extraordinarily determined and independent Daisy Bates who, in 1913, at age 54, removed herself from England to Australia's red desert outback as a self-appointed champion of the Aborigines. She remained there until her death in 1956. She not only shared the Aborigines way of life but so gained their confidence that she was made privy to the men's secret rites. The author traces Bates's steps and draws on her voluminous notebooks and letters, which reveal her as an acute observer of nature and a gifted writer whose works were imbued with dreams and hallucinations. Blackburn superbly fills in gaps with her own research and sympathetic imagination, while preserving the enchantment that Bates herself wove. [275-noto]

From a reviewer: "Silent World, If you grew up watching the Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau one night a week, you must read this book by Mr. Cousteau. I read the first chapter of this delightful little book in a diving collection and was instantly drawn to Cousteau's narrating style. Modest and touched with humor, he describes the creation of the aqualung (scuba) and his early exploits with it. Early photos of underwater creatures are amazing. My copy is from the late 1950s and I hold it carefully. It is a physical and figurative jewel to me. " (300osl); 12mo 7" - 7½" tall
