The Northumbrian landowner and gifted artist, Prideaux John Selby (1788-1867), was one of the foremost ornithologists of the 19th century. His reputation rests on his drawings and etchings (largely of specimens from his own collection) for his Illustrations of British Ornithology. This was only a small part of his contribution to the study of natural history. This is the first biography of P.J. Selby to be published. The book is based on a series of vivid and entertaining letters that Selby wrote to his close friend and collaborator, Sir William Jardine, between 1824 and 1856. As well as discussing Selby's contribution to science and his techniques as an artist, Mrs Jackson sketches the background of the Northumbrian countryside in which he spent his life, his love of his family and estate, his involvement in local politics and his interest in the building of the railways.

"Beyond Adversary Democracy should be read by everyone concerned with democratic theory and practice."—Carol Pateman, Politics "Sociologists recurrently complain about how seldom it is that we produce books that combine serious theorizing about important issues of public policy with original and sensitive field research. Several rounds of enthusiastic applause, then, are due Jane Mansbridge . . . for having produced a dense and well written book whose subject is nothing less ambitious than the theory of democracy and its problems of equality, solidarity, and consensus. Beyond Adversary Democracy, however, is not simply a work of political theory; Mansbridge explores her abstract subject matter by close studies (using ethnographic, documentary, and questionnaire methods) of two small actual democracies operating at their most elemental American levels (1) a New England town meeting ("Selby," Vermont) and (2) an urban crisis center ("Helpline"), whose 41 employees shared a New Left-Counterculture belief in participatory democracy and consensual decision-making. [Mansbridge] is a force to contend with. It is in our common interest that she be widely read."—Bennett M. Berger, Contemporary Sociology
