DEMANET, Abbé. Nouvelle histoire de l'Afrique françoise, enrichie de cartes et d'observations astronomiques et géographiques, de remarques sur les usages locaux, les moeurs, la religion & la nature du commerce général de cette partie du monde; Avec la Description des productions, & la position des fleuves & rivieres qui servent à la Navigation & au Commerce de l'Afrique: leur sondes, leurs distances respectives & les routes qu'il faut tenir pour y naviguer: les chemins nouveaux & directs pour les mines d'or & pour l'intérieur de l'Afrique: la Description des Forêts qui produisent la Gomme: les moyens de rendre l'Afrique une portion précieuse à l'Etat & à la Religion: enfin une Dissertation Physique & Historique sur l'origine des Négres, & la cause de leur couleur, avec l'exposition & la réfutation des systêmes anciens & modernes sur cette matiere. Paris: la veuve Duchesne, Lacombe. 1767.

Two volumes, 8vo. Contemporary sprinkled calf, spines with raised bands and contrasting lettering-pieces (one missing), as well as ornamented in gilt; pp. [8], xxx, [2], 142 [recte 266]; [viii], 352, [4], three engraved folding maps; complete with errata leaf and half-titles; minimal wear to binding, offsetting from endpapers; otherwise very good; Lord Sandys' contemporary engraved armorial bookplates.

First edition, scarce. Demanet describes the immense profit that can be made by the slave trade in French West Africa, the possibility of more lucrative rubber plantations, mainly in Senegal, the Gambia and the adjacent regions. In volume one Demanet explores the different societies and tribes and the economic potential, whereas volume two contains a discussion why Africans are dark-skinned, the origin of the African 'race' and their relation with Arabs, who changed their colour 'proportionellement au climat' (p. 264). Demanet ridicules an earlier theory that links skin colour to properties of drinking water found in different parts of the world.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.
