		Reflections in Black
		A History of Black Photographers from 1840 to the Present		Social Studies
		Deborah Willis
		Norton 2000 348 pages		Qty
		Paperback Illustrated 0393322807 300x230mm
		Published Price £28.00		Our Price £14.99
	This pictorial collection gives an insight into African American life through the eyes of black photographers. This book is a refutation of the caricature of black life that many mainstream photographers have sustained by continually emphasizing poverty over family, despair over hope. Nearly 600 images offer moving glimpses of everyday black life, from slavery to the Great Migration to contemporary suburban life, including rare antebellum daguerrotypes, photojournalism of the civil rights era and portraits of middle-class families.

		The Origins of Freemasonry
				Social Studies
		David Stevenson
		Cambridge University Press 2005 246 pages		Qty
		Paperback 0521396549
		Published Price £11.99		Our Price £6.99
	Beginning in Britain, freemasonry swept across Europe in the mid 18th century in astonishing fashion, yet its origins are still hotly debated today. The prevailing assumption has been that it emerged in England around 1700, but in this scholarly work of historical detection, David Stevenson demonstrates that the real origins of modern freemasonry lie in Scotland around 1600, when the system of lodges was created by stonemasons with rituals and secret procedures for recognition that blended medieval legends with aspects of Renaissance thought.
