‎First edition of this landmark work in scientific social inquiry, constituting one of the earliest microeconomic- and consumer behavior- analyses. Davies profoundly influenced social history and initiated the entire field of consumer behavior analysis, two areas of study which were to dominate 19th century economics, relevant not only to economic and social history, but also to present day economic analysis. Davies's work anticipates Eden's ""The State of The Poor"" (PMM 249) by two years. In the present work, Davies discusses in detail the causes of the poverty of agricultural labourers in England, linking the high prices of goods with poverty, and proposes measures to relieve the labourers, including linking their daily wage to the price of bread. Davies's observations demonstrated the failings of the contemporary Poor Laws and was by many seen as a direct criticism of the central policy making (or lack thereof). ""The differences in consumption of poor and rich families excited attention and often compassion, but apparently never quantitative analysis, for many centuries. Finally in England in the 1790's two very different investigators made extensive compilations of workingmen's budgets. [Davies in 1795, Eden in 1797]. Both were stimulated to this task by the distress of the working classes at this time."" (Stigler, The Early History of Empirical Studies of Consumer Behavior). In ""Was bread Giffen? The demand for food in England circa 1790"" (in Review of Economics and Statistics, 1977, Vol. 59, issue 2, pp. 225-29), Koenker developed a problem in statistical demand analysis using samples from the budgets recorded in these works. ""Two seminal budget studies by .. .Davies ... and ... Eden are employed ... to investigate the place of bread in the diets of English rural laborers at the end of the eighteenth century. Because of the considerable geographical and temporal dispersion in prices of foodstuffs found in these budgets, they afford a unique opportunity to study the influences of both prices and income on individual household consumption decisions. In particular a test is made of the famous hypothesis, attributed by Marshall to Robert Giffen, that a rise in the price of bread, ceteris paribus, increases its consumption among the lower classes."" The budget studies to which Koenker refers comprise the 70-page appendix. Davies began collecting statistical data on the poor in 1787 while a rector in the parish of Barkham, Berkshire. ""He collected six detailed budgets of 'typical' agricultural laborers living in Barkham and circulated these budgets widely to friends throughout the kingdom. Some of these correspondents were persuaded to produce similar budgets for their own localities. In 1795 Davies edited 127 of these budgets, wrote a dispassionate plea for a minimum wage law tied to the price of wheat, and published both as The Case of Labourers in husbandry."" (Koenker). In making the case for government intervention, Davies attacks rampant ignorance and prejudice toward the poor, in particular the notion that the poor are profligate creatures of habit. ""It is wonderful how readily even men of sense give in to this censure."" (p. 31).Davies's studies ""were the first examples of studies in that long and semi-honorable liberal tradition of econometrically snooping into the private lives of the poor. By the mid 19th century such studies were being conducted all over Europe by such notables as Ernst Engel, Frederick Engels, Frederick LePlay and others."" (Koenker, Applied Econometrics)David Davies (1742-1819), English clergyman and social commentator, was ordained in 1782 and became the rector of Barkham parish, where he remained incumbent until his death.

‎Hack Attack. How the truth caught up with Rupert Murdoch.‎

‎ London, Chatto & Windus, 2014, gr. in-8°, 448 pp, 30 photos sur 16 pl. hors texte, index, reliure éditeur, jaquette illustrée, bon état. Edition originale. Texte en anglais‎

‎Le scandale des écoutes de « News of the World » en Angleterre, soit le piratage téléphonique systématique mené par le journal qui appartenait à l’empire de Rupert Murdoch. L'auteur a passé six ans à enquêter sur Murdoch’s News Corp. et sa filiale News International. Son livre dévoile comment la société avait pris l’habitude d’écouter illégalement les messages laissés sur les répondeurs des personnages politiques, des célébrités et même des individus lambda britanniques. Le scandale, qui a éclaté en 2010, a abouti à l'interdiction en 2011 de « News of the World » (après 168 années de publication) et a obligé le gouvernement de David Cameron à réclamer une enquête qui a révélé au monde ces pratiques scandaleuses. Neil Wallis rédacteur exécutif et Rebekah Books, la directrice du journal ainsi que dix autres personnes ont été arrêtés. — « Tous les éléments sont réunis, le mensonge, la corruption, le chantage, dans les plus hautes sphères du gouvernement, par le plus grand journal de Londres. » (George Clooney) — "This is the book we've been waiting for, the thrilling and important inside story of how a single reporter came through with the truth of the hacking scandals. He exposed shameful intrusions, the years of deceit, lies, and bullying. And he did more. He revealed a rottenness at the heart of British life in the relations of press, police, and Parliament, institutions that, taken as a whole, failed the big test. Hack Attack is an indictment of the worst of journalism, but is itself an exhilarating demonstration of how the best of journalism-hard-won, honest reporting-is the lifeblood of any democracy." (Sir Harold Evans) — "First in the Guardian and now in this book, the reporting of Nick Davies has revealed the insidious abuse of power-and the public trust-by the Murdoch press from the top down. The British hacking scandal is the ultimate expression of Murdoch-culture run amok: corruption in the Fourth Estate as dangerous to democracy as the worst excesses of heads of state. " (Carl Bernstein) — "Nick Davies is Britain's greatest investigative journalist... This book is as exciting as a thriller but far more important... should be compulsory reading in journalism schools and must be read by anyone who wishes to understand how British politics actually works." (Peter Oborne, Telegraph) — "Gripping .the best account we have of the phone-hacking scandal and the attendant police corruption and cover-ups...A masterly summary of the hacking affair, as well as the ingenuity and persistence that lead to great journalism." (Henry Porter, Observer) — "What is revealed here, in painful, careful detail, is a journalism that held power in contempt. Nick Davies has done a colossal service to Britain's democracy. Hack Attack is the book of a very bold reporter about a passage of arms that he won, to our great benefit." (John Lloyd, Financial Times) — "Davies' account of how Murdoch and his dysfunctional lieutenants ensnared, enslaved, and frightened generations of politicians is blistering." (Will Gore, Independent on Sunday) ‎

‎ALLART VAN EVERDINGEN 1621-1675. FIRST PAINTER OF SCANDINAVIAN LANDSCAPE, ‎

‎, Davaco Publishers, 2001, Cloth bound with dusjacket, 4to., 312 pp. text and 467 plates and illustrations (14 in color). fine! ISBN 9070288273.‎

‎A Monograph, with a Catalogue Raisonne of Paintings.The catalogue raisonne of Everdingen's paintings is a collaborative effort by Alice I. Davies and Frederic J. Duparc. Like the chapters treating the painter's career in the monograph, the catalogue of the 179 authentic works is organized by subject - 22 marines, 146 Scandinavian landscapes, and 11 Netherlandish landscapes - with the dated pictures listed first and the remainder presented in chronological order. The other three sections comprise 22 "attributed paintings" not yet examined at firsthand by the authors, 35 "rejected paintings" in public collections, and 5 paintings lost from public collections, for which no reproduction exists. All of the catalogue entries, save the five in the last section, are reproduced in black and white plates (14 also in color). In addition, many of the artist's drawings and etchings appear among the 231 comparative illustrations that accompany the monograph text. The 1709 sale catalogue of Everdingen's painting collection is duplicated in an appendix. Complete bibliographies and indexes also make this a definitive reference book. Aetas Aurea XV. ‎

‎ALLART VAN EVERDINGEN, THE DRAWINGS, A Complete Catalogue, Including the Studies for Reynard the Fox.‎

‎, Nunspeet, 2007, Aetas Aurea, Davaco., Bound in cloth with dust jacket,. 4to. 504 pages, containing an Introduction, the main text comprising of 12 chapters, an extensive bibliography and indexes; 756 illustrations, from which 10 are in colour.fine condition Aetas Aurea, Vol. XXI ISBN 9070288974.‎

‎Allart van Everdingen, born at Alkmaar in 1621, launched his career as a landscape and marine specialist at Haarlem in the 1640s, then moved to Amsterdam in 1652 where he was active as a painter, printmaker, draftsman and art dealer up to his death in 1675. He was renowned in his day for the Scandinavian subjects he depicted following his trip to Norway and Sweden in 1644.This catalogue of Everdingen's drawings presents 670 authentic water colors, ink drawings and oil sketches on paper in comprehensive, illustrated entries. The accompanying text explores many facets of his activity as a draftsman, including his use of paper, and also discusses later collectors of his sheets, their marks and inscriptions, and many imitations and copies of the master's drawing extant today. High points from Everdingen's production include his trip sketches (both from his travels to Scandinavia and from a trip he made to the Ardennes in 1656), his masterworks showing Dutch scenery, his allegorical series (Twelve Month, Four Seasons and Four Elements) and his studies and transfer drawings for both his Scandinavian landscape etchings and the prints he made to illustrate the fable Reynard the Fox.The volume is an important reference work for all those with a general interest in seventeenth-century Dutch landscape and old master drawings, or with a particular interest in allegorical landscape subjects, book illustration or the Reynard the Fox fable.The author, Alice I. Davies, published an Everdingen monograph and catalogue of the artist's paintings (in collaboration with Frederik J. Duparc) in 2001. Her other publications includes a book on the life and work of Jan van Kessel (1641-1680) and a catalogue of the 16th- and 17th-century Dutch and Flemish paintings at the Springfield Museum of Fine Arts. She was an editor of Shop Talk, the 1995 Festschrift in honor of Seymour Slive.‎

‎Certitude et incertitude a la Renaissance,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2011 Paperback, 200 p., 25 b/w ill., 15,6 x 23,4. ISBN 9782503542522.‎

‎Le doigt sur la bouche, Harpocrate, l'enfant-dieu egyptien, ordonne aux hommes de la Renaissance de se taire. On parle donc beaucoup de silence a l'aube de la modernite. Car la rhetorique des humanistes et ses jeux donne des arguments au scepticisme et la coherence du monde en est ebranlee. Pantagruel convoque le muet Nazdecabre contre ? les amphibologies, equivocques et obscuritez des mots ? , et Cordelia et Hamlet se taisent pour toujours pour dire l'amour et la mort. Dans ce monde ou la Reforme a desacralise les cloitres, le silence se refugie dans le mystere des temples antiques qui renaissent pour sauver le sacre des souillures des guerres de religion. Mais le silence est ambivalent comme le langage qu'il tente de combattre et peut signifier aussi bien lachete, surdite ou censure que verite indicible. Alors c'est dans la poesie muette de la peinture que l'on peut encore en savourer le mystere.

‎Histoire de la Pologne.‎

‎ Fayard, 1985, fort in-8°, 542 pp, traduit de l'anglais, 12 cartes, notes, tableaux généalogiques, index, broché, couv. illustrée à rabats, bon état‎

‎La Pologne semble avoir réémergé à la surface de la conscience européenne dans le bref intermède qui sépara les accords de Gdansk d'août 1980 du coup d'Etat de décembre 1981. On avait jusqu'alors fini par oublier que ce pays, avant d'être par une nouvelle tragédie de son histoire un pays d'Europe de l'Est, avait longtemps été, au même titre que les contrées occidentales, une terre de l'Europe. On conclut donc trop vite que les tristes événements de Varsovie n'étaient le symptôme que d'une crise de régime. Il aura fallu toute la science et la maîtrise internationalement reconnues de Norman Davies pour comprendre enfin, à travers cette Histoire de la Pologne, que nous sommes les témoins des convulsions d'une nation. Car tout aujourd'hui se noue : l'héritage de l'humiliation d'un pays à qui le régime communiste fut brutalement imposé ; l'héritage d'une défaite où de 1939 à 1947, Hitler et Staline s'acharnèrent à détruire toutes les élites politiques, intellectuelles et culturelles du pays ; l'héritage du désenchantement, lorsque dans l'entre-deux-guerres l'indépendance enfin recouvrée avait le goût amer des crises de régime ; l'héritage de la maîtrise spirituelle, lorsque de 1795 à 1918, la Pologne souffrante des Partitions affirmait dans la liberté aliénée sa pleine appartenance à la grande culture européenne ; l'héritage enfin d'une des plus anciennes cultures de notre continent. Norman Davies tisse dans le court, moyen et long temps les lignes de force d'un peuple et d'une nation qui ont toujours su retrouver, contre des régimes mensongers, la mémoire longue de leur existence. ‎
