| 011 | Dockstader, Frederick | Indian Art of the Americas, painting, scupture, pottery | Museum of American Indian | 1973 | Title: Indian Art of the Americas Hardcover: decorative cloth, numerous illustrations (some color, 304 pages. TABLE OF CONTENTS PR6 FOREWORD INTRODUCTION 9 TEXT North America 13 Mexico and Central America 24 The Caribbean Islands 26 South America 29 The Colonial Period 33 Indian Art Today 34 ILLUSTRATIONS 36 BIBLIOGRAPHY 297 INTRODUCTION To understand American Indian art, the viewer must immediately set aside those preconceptions or judgments which he has earlier formed in examining Western art. To do so will allow him to look with an open mind upon the type of esthetic expression which the Native American established, growing out of an encounter with nature which had lushly and generously provided many materials necessary for the creation of true art. The Indian artist developed certain ground rules which in time have proven to be quite different from those of the While artist. Since these basic points of view are different, to attempt to evaluate Indian art in terms of Western art is obviously unwise, if not impossible. At best, it is difficult for non-Indians to evaluate Indian art; and surprisingly, not all Indians are able to achieve a satisfactory judgment of their own work, just as all Caucasians are not capable of judging Western art equally. While it may not be accurate to say that one must be an Indian to appreciate Indian art, it is true that the finer subtleties and the depths of significance which are often lost to the non-Indian are quite obvious to the Indian. It should be noted that in judging Indian art, we are necessarily basing our reactions on only a small fragment of that which has gone before. The destruction of Indian cultures has been so thorough that in many areas we are completely without sufficient examples upon which to base adequate evaluation. In examining prehistoric materials we are even less able to judge, Since the organic materials have largely disappeared and it is only in a few quite dry areas that any of the textiles, woods and other fragile materials have survived. We are, therefore, judging on the basis of either insufficient or very thin evidence, for the most part. Along with all of the visual factors discussed above there are psychological and emotional qualities. In judging Indian art the While man is necessarily looking upon a way of life which he has successfully suppressed if not eradicated. It is impossible, therefore, for most non-Indians to accept as equal the esthetic contributions of the Native American. In attempting to translate into contemporary non-Indian terms (which often do not apply, or did not apply earlier) we are taking one racial and cultural expression and transposing it into another. As we do this, we are often guilty of handling this expression as something exotic or so distant from our own point of view that it is extremely difficult to establish a point of reference for clear understanding. Much of what we know of early Indian cultures stems from studies made about them by non-Indians, or from the journals, diaries and records left by early explorers. These men were all non-Indian and frequently reflected the prejudices, biases, ignorance or insensitivity that any group necessarily will reflect in discussing the culture of another. No matter how sympathetic a person may be, it is impossible for him to really get beneath the skin of another, and share all of his emotional and intellectual attitudes and Peelings. If this were not enough, there is a further problem: by and large, Indian history, Indian cultural accounts, records and comments have all been recorded by the enemy of the Indian. While many of the explorers were genuinely interested in and friendly with Indians, and many of the students who lived among Indian people were sympathetic, understanding and often extraordinarily well-informed, still, the accounts of Indian culture have largely been left by his antagonists. We, therefore, are in the unfortunate situation of trying to interpret a culture, however interesting and picturesque it may be, in terms of an alien viewer. Prior to the Twentieth Century, Indian cultures were considered as essentially savage and hardly meriting Western attention. Only recently has the feeling developed that there is in Indian art something beyond the childish scrawls of the primitive mind. Furthermore, it should also be realized that not all Indian cultures were equal in esthetic quality. Some apparently were able to develop a far more striking response to the visual needs of the people than others. It is equally true that while all tribes had some form of art, the best of these was not necessarily on a par throughout the New World. The quality and beauty of art vary just as widely in the Indian world as in the Western, for there were good and bad artists and the fact that an Indian turned his band to a given task in no way guaranteed outstanding esthetic success. What is Indian art? To use the term "Indian art" is to fall into an all-too-common trap, Since there is no "While art," nor, in truth, a "Western art." Indian art is an expression which covers a tremendously avide horizon, not only in terms of materials, but the approach to those materials and the manner in which they are used. Furthermore, it also involves those which are found in some areas and are not included in others. As a matter of fact, the factor of inclusion or non-inclusion very often is one of the means whereby we can identify a given Indian art expression, period or region. Even the use of the word art introduces the problem of basic differences between Western and Indian concepts. Many tribes, for example, lacked a wor |

It's necessarily rough and will have some spelling and format errors. --------------------------- For once a book that doesn't pamper Finnish design! The author, Donald J. Willcox, is an American writer who is, well acquainted with the Finnish scene. He casts a fresh look at Finnish design, a subject of nearly legendary status, alongside Sibelius and the sauna. According to Willcox, the word -design. is a handme-down, a weary prostitute. It encourages mythmaking, not realistic appraisal. Willcox prefers to talk of objects - and not only of them. He examines the entire field of Finnish crafts, the surroundings and conditions where this cultural form of worldwide fame is created and designed. Whatever it is - toy, furniture, clothing, or anything else - he asks: Is it necessary? Does it work? Can it work better? Is it quality? Is it reasonable? Willcox presents his evaluations in a way that is pointed, relaxed and fun. His criticism is well-meant and constructive. Donald J. Willcox has written extensively on craft subjects. He wrote Rya Knotting and a series of five books on contemporary design in ceramics, jewelry, stitchery, weaving, and wood. He has traveled through Scandinavia to gather material for his books and currently lives in Denmark. Ove Hector, a Danish psychologist/photographer, has assisted in forming the abundant picture material. Household gadgets are examined, and furniture, wrapping, advertising, even problems in social planning. All the objects have been photographed in their actual surroundings, very often in a series of action shots. It is surprising how often common-sense design can be found lurking in places where one would least expect it. |

Hardcover: turquoise cloth, with white cloth spine. Illustrated Dorothy Smith Sides, illustrations in black & white, one in color. Frontispiece photo of author. 63 pages. Near fine condition. ~ Below is an OCR scan of the books teaser, if available, and sometimes table of contents, list of illustrations, or sample page. ~It may have some spelling and format errors. ~ ~ INTRODUCTION ~ Mabel Miller Freeman, born in Sparta, Illinois, reared and educated in Auburn, N. Y., has been a resident of Southern California since 1892. ~ By predilection and training her life centers about music, expressed in singing, for she possessed a lovely lyric soprano voice, and intense music appreciation. Only recently in 1931, she had the happy inspiration of writing songs, which won immediate popular favor. Of these the best known are, "With T'hee Alone," "Underneath the White Rose Tree," "Slumberland Town," and "Robin." It is a portentous circumstance for lovers of poetry that this collection of verses from the gifted Mrs. Freeman is now presented to the public. Increasingly an awakening of poetic con sciou ~ ess is manifested along all the walks of life. Many feel the desire to write verses themselves, not necessarily for a livelihood, or even for publication, but just for the pure pleasure it affords them-an outlet for their creative artistic urge. Periodicals are devoted to poems with competent analytical criticism; papers and magazines devote space to beautiful emanations of lofty souls. Poetry is accepted more and more as a part of our daily life. A need is felt for it, to inspire, to soothe, to make joyous, to help in the delicate, intangible way for which it, alone of all the arts, is so perfectly endowed. ~ And in this function of poetry Mrs. Freeman succeeds admirably. Her poems cheer and flood our life with a bright shining light. She is original and has a message for humanity. ~ An eminent playwright of London and New York, G. H. Hazzard maintains that her poem "Little Blue Bonnet" is reminiscent of Eugene Field and Robert Louis Stevenson at their tenderest. Jessie May Hooker, a poet, maintains moments "When this poet presents her thoughts in rhyme they march upon us with the clear ringing of bells, and the echo remains a haunting sweetness after the tones have died." Mrs. Freeman is an active member of: The National League of American Pen Women, Los Angeles Branch; and ~ ~ THE SONG UNSUNG If at last I should come to the end of Life's trail, Where to linger would not be to gain, ~ A number of gifts I would leave to those here Who on earth for a time would remain ~ To the bride I would leave the veil and the wreath, Heart's-ease to the old and the broken; ~ To the knave I would leave the cup's fatal brew, To the lover the red rose's token ~ To the children the beauty of land, sky and sea, Sunsets, and the white owy sail; ~ But the song, still unsung, that lives in my heart, I bequeath to the nightingale. ~ ~ |

| 325 | Cozzens & Gieryn | Theories of Science in Society by Cozzens & Gieryn | Indiana University Press | 1990 | Theories of Science in Society By Susan E. Cozzens and Thomas F. Gieryn, editors Susan E. Cozzens and Thomas F. Gieryn, editors Sociologists of science have, over the past three decades or so, learned a great deal about the social organization of scientific communities and about the social construction of scientific knowledge. But progress has been relatively modest toward understanding the reciprocal relationships between science and its social, political, economic, organizational, and cultural settings. How should we think about the place of science in modern societies? The essays in this volume present exciting new approaches to this question. The topics and issues examined here reflect the interests of the three audiences for the book. Specialists in the sociology of science will find a greater attention to questions of the power and patronage of science, when compared with largely European theoretical agendas that now dominate the field. Sociologists with interests other than science and technology will find contributors grappling with familiar literatures and concepts, but Marx, Weber, and Foucault or "structuration theory" and "population ecology models" may be seen in a fresh light as they are applied here to problems of science in society. And the discussions of science and technology in policy-making settings will interest readers from the interdisciplinary world of science, technology, and society |

Date of publication: 1927 Publisher: Brentano's Full title: Black Ships Hardcover: Pictorial cloth binding. Very scarce first edition. "The coast of India and the islands in the Indian Ocean have always had a weird, romantic air attached to them. It is probably due to some of Kipling's poems that we picture the water fronts of these ports as being infested with the "hardest dives" in the world. Mr. Thomas chose such places as his field of work , when he set out to write Black Ships. Such places as Singapore, and the Light of Asia are the background for his work. He takes a young American, puts him through about a decade of life in these "low white cafes," makes him the terror of Singapore, brings him back to European respectability, finds he is totally dissatisfied with his new life, and must finally return him to Singapore. The adventures of the young American equal that of Ulysses. He is constantly moving, travel-ling from one corner to the other of Asia--once he is a musician in a cafe, then an accountant on a plantation, then a stoker..."

Previous owners' inscription, with a claim they knew author David Read. Author's Note - "This book is not claimed to be a History of the Masai Tribe for the period in question, for the simple reason that no research, as such, has gone into this book; the Masai people having no way of recording their history other than by word of mouth being passed down from one generation to another. Each clan claimed for itself the more attractive attributes, accrediting those less desirable to the other clans. Although every incident has been confirmed on many different occasions, other stories with a slightly different slant, or the same version, but associated with different people, were also common, but less so. The customs and manner of speech in the novel are those of the Masai people. All the events and characters were genuine. The story is as it was related to me whilst living among the Masai in my early teens, as described in my book "Barefoot over the Serengeti".

First Edition Hard Cover. Romantic novel. GOOD-- Owners name on front endpaper; spine not square, stain spots on back cover as shown. Firm binding, clean interior, no tears or writing. The following is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicki_Baum Linda Condon is a novel by U.S. writer Joseph Hergesheimer first published in 1919 and, as its author, almost completely forgotten today. It is about a wealthy woman-the eponymous heroine-who never learns to have, let alone show, any emotions or, as the narrator puts it, to "lose herself". Although she does not do anybody any harm, in the course of the novel Linda is likened to Siberia, described by her husband as a "woman of alabaster", and calls herself "the most sterile woman alive". Married at 18, she sees herself "in a place of little importance" and at the same time "bound on a journey with a hidden destination". Linda Condon is dedicated to Carl Van Vechten.

GOOD--some cover wear and spots as shown; bookseller stamp on blank front endpaper. Tightly bound Clean interior No markings No tears No creases The following is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicki_Baum Baum was born in Vienna into a Jewish family. She began her artistic career as a musician playing the harp. She studied at the Vienna Conservatory and played in an orchestra in Germany for three years. She later worked as a journalist for the magazine Berliner Illustrierte Zeitung, published by Ullstein-Verlag in Berlin. She was married twice: first, from 1914, to an Austrian journalist who introduced her to the Viennese cultural scene; and, from 1916, to Richard Lert, a conductor and her best friend since their childhood days. During World War I she worked for a short time as a nurse. Baum began writing in her teens. Her first book, FrSchatten, was published when she was 31. She is most famous for her 1929 novel Menschen im Hotel which was made into an Academy Award winning film, Grand Hotel. Her memoir, It Was All Quite Different, was published posthumously in 1964. She wrote more than 50 novels, and at least ten were adapted as motion pictures in Hollywood. Vicki Baum is considered one of the first modern best sellers authors, and her books are reputed to be among the first examples of contemporary mainstream literature. Further biographical details about this author are available at Books and Writers, and also at this German site. Dicta "A woman who is loved always has success". "Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole". "Marriage always demands the greatest understanding of the art of insincerity possible between two human beings". "Pity is the deadliest feeling that can be offered to a woman". "To be a Jew is a destiny". Click link below last picture to see more of our antiquarian book listings: |

| 1543 | Curtis George William | satirical essays on fashionable society 1850s pub 1872 | Harper & Brothers | 1872 | The Potiphar Papers: (1853), a satire on the fashionable society of the day Curtis, George William, 1824-1892 Harper & Brothers, NY, 1872. Hard cover: cloth. Good. Engravings. Bookplate--"Beta Omega of Delta Tau Delta." Dedication of book--"Mrs. Henry W. Longfellow, in memory of the happy hours at our castles in Spain". Prefatory letter to Rev. Cream Cheese. Edge wear (as seen in photo). Minor foxing. 214 pages. About the author William Curtis and "Potiphar Papers," Willliam Howells wrote the following "Literary Friends And Acquaintances:" "It was one of the disappointments of a time which was nearly all joy that I did not then meet a man who meant hardly less than Lowell himself for me. George William Curtis was during my first winter in New York away on one of the long lecturing rounds to which he gave so many of his winters, and I did not see him till seven years afterwards, at Mr. Norton's in Cambridge. He then characteristically spent most of the evening in discussing an obscure point in Browning's poem of 'My Last Duchess'. I have long forgotten what the point was, but not the charm of Curtis's personality, his fine presence, his benign politeness, his almost deferential tolerance of difference in opinion. Afterwards I saw him again and again in Boston and New York, but always with a sense of something elusive in his graciousness, for which something in me must have been to blame. Cold, he was not, even to the youth that in those days was apt to shiver in any but the higher temperatures, and yet I felt that I made no advance in his kindness towards anything like the friendship I knew in the Cambridge men. Perhaps I was so thoroughly attuned to their mood that I could not be put in unison with another; and perhaps in Curtis there was really not the material of much intimacy. He had the potentiality of publicity in the sort of welcome he gave equally to all men; and if I asked more I was not reasonable. Yet he was never far from any man of good-will, and he was the intimate of multitudes whose several existence he never dreamt of. In this sort he had become my friend when he made his first great speech on the Kansas question in 1855, which will seen as remote to the young men of this day as the Thermopylae question to which he likened it. I was his admirer, his lover, his worshiper before that for the things he had done in literature, for the 'Howadji' books, and for the lovely fantasies of 'Prue and I', and for the sound-hearted satire of the 'Potiphar Papers', and now suddenly I learnt that this brilliant and graceful talent, this traveled and accomplished gentleman, this star of society who had dazzled me with his splendor far off in my Western village obscurity, was a man with the heart to feel the wrongs of men so little friended then as to be denied all the rights of men. I do not remember any passage of the speech, or any word of it, but I remember the joy, the pride with which the soul of youth recognizes in the greatness it has honored the goodness it may love. Mere politicians might be pro-slavery or anti-slavery without touching me very much, but here was the citizen of a world far greater than theirs, a light of the universal republic of letters, who was willing and eager to stand or fall with the just cause, and that was all in all to me. His country was my country, and his kindred my kindred, and nothing could have kept me from following after him." Click link below last picture to see more of our antiquarian book listings: |

Delhi, Motilal Banarsidass Publishers, (1991). 184 pages. VERY GOOD-- Tightly bound Clean No markings No tears No creases "This latest addition to Sankara literature is totally different in concept. It's not a biography; it's not history; and it's not quite fiction. Yet it is in some sense all these. It's based solidly in tradition, and it is at the same time just the kind of presentation that makes the postmodern reader sit up and take notice. It is philosophical, yet never forbiddingly so. It reads more like a story. The prose is simple, smooth and meditative. Padmapada, Sankara's senior disciple, narrates the story in very human terms. His intent is not to glorify his master's life and work - for that is hardly necessary - but to present him as a friend of humankind, someone who is needed generation after generation, millennium after millennium. Humans have not changed in terms of their strengths or their weaknesses since the race first evolved on the planet, nor are they likely to morph into saints any time soon. The prophets help us cope with the trials and tribulations of our daily lives and remind us of our divine roots if we care to listen. This book answers some of your serious questions about life if you have them read. If you don't, it will help you formulate them. Coming up with the right questions, after all, is the first step towards finding the right solutions."

A few pages have a short line in margin to highlight a paragraph. Otherwise, Fine in fine dust jacket. a tightly bound book, clean, tears, creases or other noticeable defects. How does the brain store memory? Many theories located memory in a specific area of the brain - until the development of the hologram, a three-dimensional image produced by wave-front reconstruction. Holograms can be made to mimic many brain activities, suggesting that the brain '' encodes'' memory in a similar way. Memory may thus depend on wave-phase relationships rather than on specific parts of the brain. In this witty, imaginative and provocative book, Professor Paul Pietsch describes the hologramic theory of memory and tells how his experiments with Punky, Julius, and Cyclops (his pet salamander larvae) have demonstrated that parts of a brain may be reshuffled without scrambling the meaning of the information it stores, thus convincing him of the validity of the hologramic theory and of its widespread revolutionary implications. SHUFFLEBRAIN recounts one dedicated scientist's conversion from confirmed anatomist to wondering believer in a daring theory. As the tale unfolds, the reader witnesses first-hand the mysterious, quirky, altogether human processes of experimental science: its trials, its frustrations, its unequaled joys. Along the way, Professor Pietsch explains in terms that the common reader can understand recent developments in mathematics and physics that bear on his shufflebrain research. His book will enthrall anyone who is interested in adventure, exploration, or new ideas. ISBN 0-39 5-29480-0. As new hardcover in near fine dust jacket. |

It is from Charleston Courier (South Carolina) and dated June 8, 1818. In addition to news, it contains numerous ads offering rewards for the return of runaway slaves, stories of the going and coming of ships, and many striking details of historical interest from the period. Note that many more and higher resolution photographs of the paper can be viewed at my website: click on the link above that says "CLICK THIS LINE TO VIEW..." This paper--now really an exceptionally interesting historical document-- includes an amazing story of the schooner Industry under a Captain Hill involving the Arab coast, privateers, ransom, and murder--read part of it at the page I created at the "CLICK THIS..." link above. This is the Editor's copy where the numbers visible on the ads indicate the number of days that a particular ad had to run before it ended. This is a large paper being 21.5 by 14.5 inches. There are four pages, counted back and front. The pages are unnumbered but it appear to be the complete newspaper. Pages have small closed tears at edges as shown in the photos. Most of these are quite small, but one is 1.5 inches and another 3/4 of an inch long and effects all pages. As can be seen in photos, there are also small open tears ( chips ) in the white border on the left. The tears do not affect readability.

In 1851 he decided to try to win the hand of Harriett Newell Epsy and to improve his education by enrolling in the University of North Carolina to prepare himself for the practice of law and public life. 121 letters comprise the existing prenuptial correspondence of Vance and his first wife. Their descriptions of events of the time and their own lives provide fascinating glimpses into the society of antebellum North Carolina." |

''..it gives the reader insight into the multifaceted life and spirit of one of the most important social, religious, and literary figures of Russia's Silver Age.'' "The Slavs have always been mystics. At the beginning of this century that mysticism was expressed by individuals attempting to explore the depth of consciousness through practices and rites sometimes grafted on to the established church and sometimes by setting up new and very short-lived religions, Zinaida Hippius was one of these. Her diaries record her feelings, her love and the ecstasy caused by her living at fever pitch. Her records of this strangely limited life do not, alas, take on the tincture of scripture nor the resonance of ritual." http://www.vqronline.org Hard cover: cloth. 329 pages. First edition. |

First edition. Fine (brand new) Fine in fine dust jacket. A bright and beautiful copy, tightly bound, clean, and without markings, tears, creases, or other noticeable defects.368 pp., illus., bib. notes;Publisher info:''An extraordinary account of how a laborer's son rose to challenge the power of despots, I Refuse to Die is both the autobiography of one gifted man who rose above the horrors of colonization,and an uncensored history of modern Kenya. The book is infused with the freedom songs of theKenyan people, as well as dream prophecy and folk tales that are part of Kenya's rich storytelling tradition. Tracing the roots of the Mau Mau rebellion, wa Wamwere follows the evolution and degeneration of Jomo Kenyatta and the rise of Daniel arap Moi. In 1979, wa Wamwere won a seat in the parliament, where he represented the economically depressed Nakuru district for three years. An outspoken activist and journalist, wa Wamwere was framed and detained on three separate instances, spending thirteen years in prison, where he was tortured but not broken. His mother and others led a hunger strike to free him and fellow political prisoners. Their efforts brought about a show trial at which Koigi was sentenced to four more years in prison and 'six strokes of the cane,' and escaped Kenya-and probably execution - only through the exertions of human rights groups and the government of Norway. / Kenyan KOIGI WA WAMWERE, a political activist, statesman, and journalist, has been fighting for social change in his home country for three decades. First elected to Parliament in 1979, his term was cut short when dictator Daniel arap Moi threw him in prison in 1982. In December 2002, wa Wamwere won office for a second time on a social democrat platform, victoriously calling for an end to the Moi years of corruption and oppression. Wa Wamwere's latest book is Negative Ethnicity. His Democracy Under Siege is forthcoming from Seven Stories Press in 2004. He lives in Nakuru, Kenya.'' - |

Includes an Index. satiric attacks it inspired in leading periodicals in both England and America. Martha Banta explores the politics of caricature and cartoon from 1841 to 1936, devoting special attention to the original Life magazine. For Banta, Life embodied all the strengths and weaknesses of the Progressive Era, whose policies of reform sought to cope with the frenetic urbanization of New York, the racist laws of the Jim Crow South, and the rise of jingoism in the United States. Barbaric Intercourse shows how Life's take on these trends and events resulted in satires both cruel and enlightened. "Banta also deals extensively with London's Punch, a sharp critic of American nationalism, and draws from images and writings in magazines as diverse as Puck, The Crisis, Harper's Weekly, and The International Socialist Review. Orchestrating a wealth of material, including reproductions of rarely seen political cartoons, she offers a richly layered account of the cultural struggles of the age, from contests over immigration and the role of the New Negro in American society, to debates over Wall Street greed, women's suffrage, and the moral consequences of Western expansionism.

"Swami Akhilananda shows us how to reach mental health by applying the classic techniques of his ancient tradition. The author explains how a stable and healthy mind is the starting point for our spiritual quest. He thus brings together psychology and religion in a most universal manner, showing that personality development and the search for ultimate values are one and the same discipline. The book's approach is hard-hitting and practical, using case histories from the Swami's thirty-five years' counseling experience in the United States. The reader, whatever his own beliefs, will be enriched by this new perspective on solving the concrete problems of daily life. Psychologist O. Hobart Mower writes in the introduction: "The author is an accomplished scholar, not only in the field of classical religion (see his Hindi View of Christ), but also in respect to the theories and theoretical dilemmas of contemporary psychiatry, psychology, and sociology (cf., Hindu Psychology) Most of all, Swami Akhilananda is a refined, sensitive, tolerant human being whose wisdom and kindliness have already touched the lives of innumerable persons and will, in the present volume, bring new understanding and a surer perspective to many more.". |

Stated first edition. 269 pp. Orange, green and black cloth, spine lettered in gilt, in orange and black checker-design jacket. John Gunther's first novel probes psychology of marriage among intellectuals living in near the University of Chicago during the 1920s. VERY GOOD--The cover has slight edge wear. Other than that: a tightly bound book, clean, without markings, tears, creases or other noticeable defects. "John Gunther (August 30, 1901 - May 29, 1970) was an American author whose success came primarily in the 1940s and 1950s with a series of popular sociopolitical works known as the "Inside" books. ... Gunther grew up in Chicago and attended the University of Chicago where he was literary editor of the student paper. From 1924 to 1936 Gunther was assigned to the London bureau of the Chicago Daily News. Gunther writes, "I was at one time or another in charge of Daily News offices in London, Berlin, Vienna, Moscow, Rome, and Paris, and I also visited Poland, Spain, the Balkans, and Scandinavia. I have worked in every European country except Portugal. I saw at first hand the whole extraordinary panorama of Europe from 1924 to 1936." Gunther married journalist Frances Fineman in 1927. Their first child, a daughter, Judith, born in 1929, died suddenly at the age of four months. They had a son, Johnny, in 1930 and were divorced in 1944 following a stormy marriage. In 1947 17-year-old Johnny Gunther died after a 15-month struggle with a brain tumor. Gunther married Jane Perry Vandercook in 1948 and the couple adopted a son. Gunther's non-fiction works generally share the same title format: Inside Europe (1936), Inside Asia (1939), Inside Latin America (1940), Inside USA (1947), Inside Africa (1st edition 1955, reprinted 1957), Inside Europe Today (1961), Inside Australia and New Zealand (1972), and others. In addition to his popular 'Inside' series, Gunther wrote eight novels and three biographies, most notably Bright Nemesis, The Troubled Midnight, and "Eisenhower", a biography of the famous general released in 1952, the year Eisenhower was elected President. The book for which Gunther is best remembered today, however, does not deal with the intrigues of politics: Death Be Not Proud is the simple story of his son, Johnny, who died of a brain tumor at the age of 17. In the book, John Gunther relates in honest detail the struggles that he and his wife went through in attempting to save Johnny's life: the many treatments pursued (everything from radical surgery to strictly controlled diet), the ups and downs of apparent remission and eventual relapse, and the strain it placed on all three of them. Johnny was an evidently remarkable young man - he corresponded intelligently with Albert Einstein about physics - and the heartbreak of his death is told so movingly by Gunther that the book became a best-seller, and has subsequently been filmed. It is a staple of many high-school curricula to this day." |

"Focusing on the poems of Wordsworth's "Great Decade," feminist critics have tended to see Wordsworth as an exploiter of women and "feminine" perspectives. In this book, the author examines works from throughout Wordsworth's long career to offer a more nuanced feminist account of the poet's values. Making extensive use of family letters, journals, and other documents, as well as unpublished material by the poet's daughter Dora Wordsworth, author Page presents Wordsworth as a poet not defined primarily by egotistical sublimity but by his complicated and conflicted endorsement of domesticity and familial life." http://www.clrn.org/weblinks/details.cfm?id=405 Keywords: Wordsworth, William, 1770-1850 -- Political and social views; Feminism and literature -- England -- History -- 19th century; Women and literature -- England -- History -- 19th century |

Very good in very good dust jacket. 126 pages. Full page black & white photos. ---a tightly bound book, clean, without markings, tears, creases, or defects other than those that may be noted above. "Light & Shadow is a personal meditation by Claire Yaffa on the subtleties of photographic vision. In this monograph, Yaffa, an artist previously known for her documentary work on child abuse, homelessness, and children with AIDS, bridges the gap between the seemingly disparate territories of photojournalism and artistic statement. The connective tissue linking the abstractions presented in this volume and her previous work are similar themes of the fragility of life and perception."Often I find it difficult to summon the real me." says Yaffa, "I only know that I am there somewhere, and that I mustn't disappear. While the exposures are taking place I am far away, in another world it seems."In these quiet moments of introspection, details such as the trace of stippled light on an obscured nude torso or the finely etched veins of a palm frond lead both photographer and viewer to consider the fluctuating boundaries between darkness and epiphany. Jeffrey Beam's clear, imagistic poems are woven throughout these pages, likewise drawing inspiration from botanical forms and allowing for moments of rich contemplation. Gordon Parks, in his introduction to Claire Yaffa's work, praises the artist for her ability to explore the ineffable worlds of shadow and light that challenge photographer and painter alike." |

Notable for the tipped-in color plates This is a: a tightly bound book clean no markings no tears no creases "Paolo Veronese (1528 April 19, 1588) was a prolific and important painter of the Renaissance in Venice. His birth name was Paolo Cagliari or Paolo Caliari; he became known as "Veronese" from his birthplace in Verona. "Veronese first apprenticed as a youth with local Veronese artists such as Antonio Badile and perhaps with Giovanni Francesco Caroto. He then moved briefly to Mantua in 1548 (where he created frescos in that city's Duomo) before ultimately settling in Venice. His first Venetian commission is a Sacra Conversazione from San Francesco della Vigna (c.1552). In 1553, he obtained his first state commission in 1553, the fresco decoration of the Sala dei Cosiglio dei Dieci and adjoining Sala dei Tre Capi del Consiglio. He then painted a History of Esther in the ceiling for San Sebastiano. Veronese, Titian, and Tintoretto complete the triumvirate of pre-eminent Venetian painters of the late Renaissance (1500s). He is known as a supreme colorist and for his illusionistic decorations in both fresco and oil. Most of his works are elaborate narrative cycles, executed in a dramatic and colorful Mannerist style, full of majestic architectural settings and glittering pageantry. His large paintings of biblical feasts executed for the refectories of monasteries in Venice and Verona are especially notable. His brief testimony with the Inquisition is often quoted for its insight into contemporary painting technique. He also produced altarpieces, paintings on mythologic subjects, and portraits. A significant number of compositional sketches in pen, ink and wash, figure studies in chalk, and chiaroscuro modelli and ricordi are in circulation. He headed a family workshop that remained active after his death in Venice in 1588. Among his pupils was Giovanni Antonio Fasolo." qUOTED TEXTQuoted text from: http://en.wikipedia.org frOM: HTTP://EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG |

FINE--back cover has a corner crease. Other than that: a tightly bound book, clean, without markings, tears, creases or other noticeable defects. Contemporary witches say that witchcraft is a revival of a European Pre-Christian religion called Wicca. Practitioners of Wicca believe the world is alive, interconnected, and responsive to attempts to manipulate invisible occult forces. These efforts constitute their magic, the craft of witchcraft. In the United States, Wicca has become the core of a collection of other pagan traditions, religions, and magical systems. This is a scholarly look at witchcraft in American society. Why do some individuals in American society resort to the magical beliefs and practices of the occult while the majority do not? This fascinating study by an anthropologist explores contemporary witchcraft from the unusual perspective of self-identified witches and magicians. Readers have the opportunity to learn what kinds of individuals engage in thought movements such as this and see the ideas of witchcraft and magic from the vantage point of those who profess to be witches and practice magic. Includes a description of the characteristics of the group combined with an analysis of their complex belief system; gives insight into the unusual behaviors shared by participants in of these groups within American society. |

A tightly bound book, clean, and without markings, tears, creases or other noticeable defects."Many know of William Carey. Some know about the specifics of his work and ministry. But few understand the profound contemporary significance of his life. Few realize how much we owe the increasing globalization of Christianity to the silent revolution he initiated. Fewer still are aware of his legacy of sensitivity to the variety of issues confronting true gospel witness in any culture. This biography abort the central character in the story of India's modernization and transformation will help you understand Carey's impact. But The Legacy of William Carey is more than a biography. It is a charge to all Christians to respond in kind within our own cultures, and to use Carey's example as our model for taking the light of the Gospel into every corner of society. If we follow in his footsteps, not only will lives be bettered this side of heaven, but hearts will be changed for eternity -and entire cultures transformed for Christ."Quoted text from.Wikipedia: "William Carey (August 17, 1761 - June 9, 1834) was an English Protestant missionary and Baptist minister, known as the "father of modern missions." Carey was one of the founders of the Baptist Missionary Society. As a missionary in Serampore, India, he translated the Bible into Bengali, Sanskrit, and numerous other languages and dialects. Contents [hide]Carey, the eldest of five children, was born to Edmund and Elizabeth Carey, who were weavers by trade in the village of Paulerspury in Northamptonshire. William was raised in the Church of England; when he was six, his father was appointed the parish clerk and village schoolmaster. As a child he was naturally inquisitive and keenly interested in the natural sciences, particularly botany. He possessed a natural gift for language, teaching himself Latin. Part of a series on Protestant missionsto IndiaAt the age of 14, Careys father apprenticed him to a shoemaker in the nearby village of Hackleton. His master, Clarke Nichols, was a churchman like himself, but another apprentice, John Warr, was a Dissenter. Through his influence Carey would eventually leave the Church of England and join with other Dissenters to form a small Congregational church in Hackleton. While apprenticed to Nichols, he also taught himself Greek with the help of a local villager who had a college education." |

''Ritter came to the University of California in 1893 as a biology instructor, was elected in 1899 president of the California Academy of Sciences, taking part the same year in the Harriman Expedition to Alaska. By 1904 he was working in San Diego on marine biology and in 1912 convinced Edward Willis Scripps to fund the eponymous Scripps Institution of Oceanography, of which Ritter became its first director, holding the post until 1922. As a result of his study of organisms under natural conditions, Ritter developed a holistic biological theory, articulated in his 1918 book "The Unity of the Organism."

VERY GOOD--one pinpoint sized spot on front cover. Other than that: a tightly bound book, clean, without markings, tears, creases or other noticeable defects. Quoted text from.Wikipedia: "Dane Rudhyar (March 23, 1895, in Paris - September 13, 1985, in San Francisco), nDaniel Chennevi, was a modernist composer and humanistic astrologer. He was the pioneer of modern transpersonal astrology. Most of Rudhyar's more than forty books and hundreds of articles concern astrology and religion. The book that established his reputation in the astrological field was his first on the subject, The Astrology of Personality (1936). Arguing that astrology is not essentially predictive but rather productive of intuitive insights, this has proven to be one of the most influential tracts of "free-will" astrology, despite being written in the dense, circuitous style that characterizes much of Rudhyar's writing. He also wrote two novels and extensively on music as well, producing such books as Claude Debussy and His Work (1913), Dissonant Harmony (1928), Rebirth of Hindu Music (1928), The New Sense of Sound (1930), and The Magic of Tone and the Art of Music (1982). Rudhyar's own compositions tend to employ dissonant harmony, emphatically not of a systematic variety such as Charles Seeger's-Rudhyar was philosophically opposed to such a rigid approach. His musical thought was influenced by Henri Bergson and theosophy, and he viewed composers as mediums, writing that "the new composer" was "no longer a 'composer,' but an evoker, a magician. His material is his musical instrument, a living thing, a mysterious entity endowed with vital laws of its own, sneering at formulas, fearfully alive." Rudhyar's most distinctive music is for piano, including his Tetragram (1920-67) and Pentagram (1924-26) series, Syntony (1919-24, rev. 1967), and Granites (1929). His works are almost all composed of brief movements-he felt that length and its attendant structural demands led to abstraction and away from the sensuous physicality of sound. He influenced several early-twentieth-century composers including Ruth Crawford and Carl Ruggles, members of the group centered around Henry Cowell known as the "ultra-modernists." Cowell paid homage to him with a solo piano piece, A Rudhyar (1924). Late in his life, Rudhyar's musical work was rediscovered by the composers James Tenney and Peter Garland, who declared that Rudhyar's "best works occurred in the 1920s and...1970s" Keywords: Theosophy, Theosophical, metaphysical, ancient wisdom, ageless wisdom, occult, esoteric, Eastern thought, philosophy, philosophical, comparative religion. astrology |

Fine in fine dust jacket. Front inside flap has a crease. Other than that: a tightly bound book, clean, without markings, tears, creases or other noticeable defects. "In certain neighborhood s of New York City, an immigrant may live out his or her entire life without even becoming fluent in English. From the Russians of Brooklyn's Brighton Beach to the Dominicans of Manhattan's Washington Heights, New York is arguably the most ethnically diverse city in the world. Yet no wide-ranging ethnic history of the city has ever been attempted. In All the Nations Under Heaven, Frederick Binder and David Reimers trace the shifting tides of New York's ethnic past, from its beginnings as a Dutch trading outpost to the present age where Third World immigration has given the population a truly global character. All the Nations Under Heaven explores the processes of cultural adaptation to life in New York, giving a lively account of immigrants new and old, and of the streets and neighborhoods they claimed and transformed. All the Nations Under Heaven provides a comprehensive look at the unique cultural identities that have wrought changes on the city over nearly four centuries since Europeans first landed on the Atlantic shore. While detailing the various efforts to retain a cultural heritage, the book also looks at how ethnic and racial groups have interacted -- and clashed -- over the years. From the influx of Irish and Germans in the nineteenth century to the recent arrival of Caribbean and Asian ethnic groups in large numbers, All the Nations Under Heaven explores the social, cultural, political, and economic lives of immigrants as they sought to form their own communities and struggled to define their identities within the growing heterogeneity of New York. In this timely, provocative book, Binder and Reimers offer insight into the cultural mosaic of New York at the turn of the millennium, where despite a civic pride that emphasizes the goals of diversity and tolerance, racial and ethnic conflict continue to shatter visions of peaceful coexistence." |

In this important work, Professo Namkhai Norbu begins by investigating the epic poems and legends of Tibet/s secular culture. He then turns his attention to the mysteries of the ancient symbolic languages that conveyed wisdom inexpressible in conventional terms; and he concludes by elucidating the complexities of the pre-Buddhist Bon religion in the context of its 12 'lores' or 'science'. This fascinating book sheds new light on the ancient and authentic wisdom of Tibet, in the process revealing its influence upon the historical and cultural continuity of theTibetan people." |

The Youth's Companion, "...was in the late 19th century one of the most popular weekly periodicals in America and known for the quality of the writing. The magazine catered to teen-age boys and girls especially, containing articles on sports, on hobbies, and on various literary and cultural interests. But it was really a family magazine and had many advertisements for clothing, both adult and children's." http://histclo.com/lit/child/nat/us/per/kp-tyc.html "The Pledge of Allegiance never would have been written and promoted if The Youth's Companion had not existed in 1892. Today, the magazine and its owner and editor, Daniel Ford, are largely forgotten. This is unfortunate because Ford was a very successful and amazing businessman who knew how to interest both children and their parents in reading, a skill needed today...In 1892 the level of writing in the Companion was of such high quality that parents as well as their children were reading it. It had articles written at all levels for the children and articles for the parents, who would read the magazine around a living room table or the dining room table. This was before the time of television and radio and even the daily newspaper was rare in rural areas." http://history.vineyard.net/pdgech2.htm "The name "Perry Mason" dates to creator Gardner's childhood.[citation needed] As a child, Gardner was a reader of the magazine Youth's Companion. The magazine, best known for producing the original Pledge of Allegiance in 1891, was published in Boston, Massachusetts by the Perry Mason Company (later renamed "Perry Mason & Co." after the founder died). When Gardner created his fictional attorney, he borrowed the name of the company that published his favorite childhood magazine." Quoted text from.Wikipedia: |

ISBN 0870795902Fine in very good dust jacket. "This comprehensive work, available as a single volume or a three volume set, presents the history of research on health effects of ionizing radiation until 1980. Its aim is to record the people involved and their ideas, as well as the contexts, institutions, instrumentation, and conclusions of their research. The major sections of the book are naturally occurring radioactive elements, manmade radioisotopes, inhalation toxicology, environment, instrumentation, therapy and nuclear medicine, and concluding comments. The section on naturally occurring radioactive elements treats radium, uranium, radon, polonium, and thorium, and includes effects of radioactive materials on the health of workers in the uranium mining industry. The part on manmade radioisotopes discusses the results of the many laboratories' and universities' experiments on various radioactive isotopes. In a section of over 700 pages, the material on the environment highlights the ecological effects of producing nuclear materials, of nuclear test fallout, and the medical research inspired by the fallout. All chapters contain extensive bibliographies. The work is a unique and enormous achievement, which Newell Stannard was highly qualified to author, since he was involved in so much of it himself through his association with the University of Rochester and the Manhattan Project." |

Shche | Architectural Solovetsky Monastery Russia Art | Iskusstvo Art Pub. | 1982 | The architectural ensemble of the Solovetsky Monastery Hardcover. 10 X 8 inches. 182 pages. 75% color photos. Summary and list of illustrations in English; Main text in Russian Quoted text from.Wikipedia: "Solovetsky Monastery was the greatest citadel of Christianity in the Russian North before being turned into a special Soviet prison and labor camp (1926-1939), which served as a prototype for the GULAG system. Situated on the Solovetsky Islands in the White Sea, the monastery braved many changes of fortune and military sieges. Its most important structures date from the 16th century, when Filip Kolychev was its hegumen. Solovetsky Monastery was founded in the late 1420s by monks Gherman (Herman) and Savvatiy (Sabbatius) of Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the monastery quickly enlarged its estate, which was situated on the shores of the White Sea and the rivers falling into it. Solovetsky Monastery extended its producing and commercial activity, becoming an economic and political center of the White Sea region. Archmandrites of the monastery were appointed by the tsar himself and the patriarch. Peter the Great visited the Solovki in 1694. Solovetsky Monastery's "business" activity included saltworks (in the 1660s, it owned 54 of them), seafood production, trapping, fishery, mica works, ironworks, pearl works etc., which had engaged many people dependent on the monastery. By the 17th century, Solovetsky Monastery had already had some 350 monks, 600-700 servants, artisans and peasants. In the 1650s and 1660s, the monastery was one of the strongholds of the Raskol. The Solovetsky Monastery Uprising of 1668-1676 was aimed at Nikon's ecclesiastic reform and took on an anti-feudal nature. In 1765, Solovetsky Monastery became stauropegic (from Greek: stauros - cross, pegio - to affirm), i.e. it subordinated directly to the Synod. Together with the Sumskoy and Kemsky stockades, Solovetsky Monastery represented an important frontier fortress with dozens of cannons and a strong garrison. In the 16th - 17th centuries, the monastery succeeded a number of times in repelling the attacks of the Livonian Brothers of the Sword and the Swedes (in 1571, 1582 and 1611). During the Crimean War, Solovetsky Monastery was attacked by three English ships. After 9 hours of shelling on the 6th and the 7th of July, the vessels left with nothing. Between the 16th and the early 20th centuries, the monastery was also a place of exile for the opponents of autocracy and official Orthodoxy and a center of christianization in the north of Russia. The monastery also had a huge depository of manuscripts and old books." |

Quoted text from.Wikipedia: "Thomas Nelson Page (April 23, 1853 - November 1, 1922) of Virginia was a lawyer and American writer. He also served as the U.S. ambassador to Italy during the administration of President Woodrow Wilson, including the important period of World War I. Beaverdam in Hanover County, Virginia, he was a scion of the prominent Nelson and Page families, each First Families of Virginia. Although he was from once-wealthy lineage, after the American Civil War, which began when he was only 8 years old, his parents and their relatives were largely impoverished during Reconstruction and his teenage years. He attended the school now known as Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia but had to leave before graduation for financial reasons. After working for a while, he was enrolled in the law school of the University of Virginia in pursuit of a legal career. Admitted to the Virginia Bar Association, he practiced as a lawyer in Richmond between 1876 and 1893, and began writing. He was married to Anne Seddon Bruce on July 28, 1886. She died on December 21, 1888 of a throat hemorrhage. He remarried on June 6, 1893, to Florence Lathrop Field, a widowed sister-in-law of retailer Marshall Field, and moved to Washington, D.C.. There, he kept up his writing, which amounted to eighteen volumes when they were compiled and published in 1912. Page popularized the plantation tradition genre of Southern writing, which told of an idealized version of life before the Civil War, with contented slaves working for beloved masters and their families. His 1887 collection of short stories, In Ole Virginia, is the quintessential work of that genre. Another short-story collection of his is entitled The Burial of the Guns (1894). Under President Woodrow Wilson, Page served as U.S. ambassador to Italy for six years between 1913 and 1919. His book entitled Italy and the World War (1920) is a memoir of his service there."

To prove that she could be that wife, Miss Lowell set herself up in a tiny shack in a fisherman's community on the coast of Brazil and waited for "mate" Bowen to wind up his affairs in the United States.

Other than that: a tightly bound book, clean, without markings, tears, creases or other noticeable defects. Quoted text from.Wikipedia: ''Arthur Crew Inman (ca. 1895 - ca. 1963) was a reclusive and unsuccessful American poet whose 17-million word diary, extending from 1919 to 1963, is one of the longest English language diaries on record. Inman grew up in Atlanta but seems to have had some kind of serious breakdown at 21. He moved to Boston, where he became increasingly obsessed with his health. He lived for much of his life in dark, soundproofed apartments. Having inherited wealth meant he was able to afford his hypochondria and other eccentric ways, as well as servants and people hired specially to come and talk to him. His wife, Evelyn, appears to have accepted that he would have sex with some of these so-called 'talkers'. He attempted suicide on several occasions, and finally succeeded with a revolver in 1963. Inman was obsessive about his diaries which he hoped would bring him immortality. Following his death, the 155 volumes of the diary remained mostly unpublished. In 1985, Harvard professor of English and American literature Daniel Aaron painstakingly put together and published a two-volume abridged edition. Inman's diary is not only considered unique by some but has been called 'the most remarkable diary ever published by an American'. Through its many volumes, Inman provides a panoramic record of people, events, and observations from more than four decades of the twentieth century. A play based on the diary and written by Lorenzo DeStefano was produced at Seattle Repertory Theatre and at London's Almeida Theatre, both productions helmed by Jonathan Miller. A film adaptation, ''Visitations'', is currently in active development.'' |

| 3414 | Daly, Mary | Quintessence: radical feminist manifesto, Mary Daly | Beacon Press, Boston | 1998 | Quintessence. . . Realizing the Archaic Future: A Radical Elemental Feminist Manifesto ''It is 2048 BE; the Anonyma Network, represented by a young philosopher known affectionately as Annie, offers this fiftieth anniversary edition of Mary Daly's revolutionary work of Radical Elemental Feminism, 'Quintessence. . . Realizing the Archaic Future.' In order to better understand Mary's complex but extremely joyful and affirming view of women, Annie conjures the author's spirit to engage in a series of conversation about women in the 1990s, and to introduce her to the marvels of the twenty-first century. Mary Daly has, for the past thirty years, been at the forefront of radical feminist thinking. Here she exposes and examines the abuses women face at the end of the twentieth-century-for example, the dangerous rhetoric of the Promise Keepers; the systematic rape of women in war zones like Bosnia; and the invasive manipulations of women's bodies and all of nature in genetic engineering, fertility experiments, and cloning. . .

SAN DIEGO/TIJUANA-inSite/ Art Practices in the public Domain, the binational network of contemporary arts events and actions, together with the San Diego Museum of Art and the Centro Cultural Tijuana, presents Farsites: Urban Crisis and Domestic Symptoms in Recent Contemporary Art. Opening to the public Aug. 27 and on view through Nov. 13, 2005, the two-city exhibition marks the first time inSite has included a museum-based exhibition in its programming, as well as the first time the two largest visual arts institutions in the binational region have collaborated. Curated by Adriano Pedrosa, who is based in SPaulo, Farsites brings together more than 50 artists from the Americas, as well as Europe and Africa who work in a range of media, from photography to installation. Although a few works present the urban site as a map overall network, many focus on the moments when these systems fail or fall short. In any city there are conditions that resist the collective desire for a clean, efficient appearance or modernization. These moments are symptoms of neglect and abandonment, and sometimes citizens construct alternatives to cope with this uneven development. |

They brought back treasure worth $100,000,000 of today's dollars. Anson's circumnavigation in the Centurion is one of the greatest voyages in the history of exploration and Centurion's mission was to harass the Spaniards on the west coast of South & Central America, and to capture the Spanish treasure ship known as the Acalpulco galleon. The log kept by Saumarez throws new light on many episodes of the voyage, which, although incredibly successful in monetary terms due to the unprecedented captured from the Spanish, in terms of human life it was a disaster. Of the six ships companies that began the voyage only 4 were killed by enemy action, but disease, mainly scurvy, accounted for the loss of more than 1,300 men. Hard cover: Near Fine. 264 pages.

Other than that: a tightly bound book, clean, without markings, tears, creases or other noticeable defects. 315 pages. "Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 - April 27, 1882) was an American essayist, poet, and leader of the Transcendentalist movement in the early nineteenth century. Life Ralph Waldo Emerson was born in Boston to the Rev. William Emerson, a Unitarian minister in a famous line of ministers. He gradually drifted from the doctrines of his peers, then formulated and first expressed the philosophy of Transcendentalism in his 1836 essay, Nature. Emerson's father, who called his son "a rather dull scholar", died in 1811, less than two weeks short of Emerson's 8th birthday. The young Emerson was subsequently sent to the Boston Latin School in 1812 at the age of nine. In October 1817, at fourteen Emerson went to Harvard College and was appointed Freshman's President, a position which gave him a room free of charge. He waited at Commons, reducing the cost of his board to one quarter, and he received a scholarship. To complement his meager salary, he tutored and taught during the winter vacation at his Uncle Ripley's school in Waltham, Massachusetts. After Emerson graduated from Harvard in 1821 at the age of eighteen, he assisted his brother in a school for young ladies established in their mother's house, after he had established his own school in Chelmsford; when his brother went to Gto study divinity, Emerson took charge of the school. Over the next several years, Emerson made his living as a schoolmaster, then went to Harvard Divinity School, and emerged as a Unitarian minister in 1829. A dispute with church officials over the administration of the Communion service, and misgivings about public prayer led to his resignation in 1832. His first wife, Ellen Louisa Tucker, died of tuberculosis at 19 on February 8, 1831. Despite his having been married, there is considerable evidence pointing to Emerson being bisexual.[ During his earlier years at Harvard he found himself 'strangely attracted' to a young freshman named Martin Gay about whom he wrote sexually charged poetry. Gay would be only the first of his infatuations and interests, with Walt Whitman numbered among them..."

Minor wear and soiling to covers. Other than that: a tightly bound book, clean, without markings, tears, creases or other noticeable defects. "Synopsis: States of spirit possession, in which believers feel themselves to be ''possessed'' by the deity and raised to a new plane of existence, are found in almost all known religions. From Dionysiac cults to Haitiam voodoo, Christian and Sufi mysticism to shamanic ritual, the rapture and frenzy of ecstatic experience forms an iconic expression of faith in all its devastating power and unpredictability. Ecstatic Religion has, since its first appearance in 1971, became the classic investigative study of these puzzling phenomena. Exploring the social and political significance of spiritual ecstasy and possession, it concerns the distinct types of functions of mystical experience--in particular, the differences between powerful male-dominated possession cults which reinforce established morality and power, and marginal, renegade ecstatics expressing forms of protest on behalf of the oppressed, especially women." |

To be quite honest, there followed a period of years when what happened during the night was much more important than what happened to me during the daytime. Very early in my work I had my first initiation dream. Such dreams essentially portray rituals. These rituals help to move us into a different condition of consciousness, exactly as outer rituals are supposed to do. In Western culture, we have lost our relationship to ritual. We have no real puberty rites. We have no power rituals to help young men and women in their transition to adulthood. War might be such a ritual, certainly not one that we would choose. The Bar Mitzvah is a rather pale ritual, its power obscured by the multitude of gifts and an emphasis on social conformity. It rarely creates an experience to help the young man move into manhood. Probably the closest we come in our culture to a puberty ritual is an experience like Outward Bound, an experience that provides physical and psychological challenges that cannot help but shift consciousness to some degree. The unconscious has not forgotten about ritual. It contains the repository of all of our past history and something even of our future. So it is that in the course of the transformational process, over and over again are created dream images of rituals of initiation. These initiation rites are rites of passage, sometimes dangerous, sometimes benign. " |

Other than that: a tightly bound book, clean, without markings, tears, creases or other noticeable defects. Quoted text from.Wikipedia: Edward Everett Hale (April 3, 1822 - June 10, 1909) was an American author and Unitarian clergyman. "Hale was born in Roxbury, Massachusetts, the son of Nathan Hale (1784-1863), proprietor and editor of the Boston Daily Advertiser and nephew of Edward Everett, the orator and statesman. His father Nathan was the grandnephew of the Nathan Hale who was executed by the British for spying on their forces in New York during the Revolutionary War. He graduated from Harvard in 1839; was pastor of the Church of the Unity, Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1846-1856, and of the South Congregational (Unitarian) church, Boston, in 1856-1899. In 1903 he became chaplain of the United States Senate. He died in Roxbury, by then part of Boston, in 1909. Combining a forceful personality, organizing genius, and liberal practical theology, Hale was active in raising the tone of American life for half a century. He had a deep interest in the anti-slavery movement (especially in Kansas), as well as popular education (especially Chautauquas), and the working-man's home. He was a constant and voluminous contributor to newspapers and magazines. He was an assistant editor of the Boston Daily Advertiser and edited the Christian Examiner, Old and New (which he assisted in founding in 1869 and which merged with Scribner's Magazine in 1875), "Lend a Hand" (which he founded in 1886 and which merged with the Charities Review in 1897), and the Lend a Hand Record. He was the author or editor of more than sixty books-fiction, travel, sermons, biography and history." |

The few which survive are blown like a scattering of seeds across the generations.-Adele BrandeisThese essays rest upon Zimmer's belief-a belief which he shares with Jung and others-that the spiritual heritage of archaic man still survives in the deeper unconscious layers of our soul. His meditations are a compound of psychology and mythology. They are ingratiating because they are not meant to be more than the musings of a learned dilettante.-Siegfried KracauerThis book presents several popular tales from Oriental and Occidental literature; it explains the symbolic meanings of each important incident and character; then there is developed a consistent and courageous philosophy for modern man; for the stories are linked one to another by their mutual concern for the problem of man's eternal conflict with the forces of evil." Zimmer was a noted Indologist born in Germany in 1890. He came to the United States in 1940, and lectured at Columbia University. |

| 3600 | Khayyam, Omar; Fitzgerald | Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, First and Last Versions | Illustrated Editions Comp | 1938 | Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, First and Last Versions Hardcover. black leatherette cloth. Decorated in gilt, red and green, unpaginated Edward Fitzgerald translation with his fine 9 page introduction to this classic work, i11 1/4'' x 8 3/4'' The nine gorgeous tipped-in illustrations. Very good covers with fine interior. Gilt lettering on spine is fine. Previous owner's book plate. Lettering on front cover is difficult to read. Other than that: a tightly bound book, clean, without markings, tears, creases or other noticeable defects. "Omar Khayyam (1048-1131), for reasons perhaps understandable, was never very popular in his native Persia (per Fitzgerald's introduction), but was much more than a poet. At the time when Christian Europe was mired in religious superstitions, a working man (Khayyam means tent maker) on the Asiatic rural fringe of Persia learns mathematics and astronomy and rises to distinction in the sciences, becoming the royal astronomer at Merv. The historical interest and the remarkable modernity of sentiment found in the Rubaiyat is not widely appreciated, because religious prejudice has kept Persian civilization largely out of world history. It SHOULD be well known that Khayyam was a freethinker and skeptic, as the poem plainly tells. Fanatics of his time may have murmured, but like many other Arab and Persian scholars, he got away with it as there was, during THOSE times, much widespread skepticism. Were it not for this English translation by Fitzgerald (1809-1883), himself a poet and student of Arabic, few would know much of anything about Khayyam or the British translator/poet Fitzgerald, but for his rendering of the Persian. His translation is so free, that it can be called a fine poem of its own. He never falsifies the sentiments of the original, though in places Fitzgerald express his own agnosticism a bit more boldly than a Persian poet would have dared. ''Why, all the Saints and Sages who discuss'd Of the Two Worlds so learnedly, are thrust Like foolish Prophets forth; their Words to Scorn Are scatter'd, and their Mouths are stopt with Dust.'' [Stanza XXV] ''Oh, come with old Khayyam, and leave the Wise To talk; one thing is certain, that Life flies; One thing is certain, and the Rest is Lies; The Flower that once has blown for ever dies.'' [Stanza XXVI]. " |

The author was a graduate of the Maryland institution for the blind. She lived from 1836 to about 1859. From the preface: "Unto those whom God has seen fit to afflict, is it not our duty to lend a helping hand? They are traveling earth's beaten paths, as are we; if obscured the sun, shall we not drive away the mists by kindly word or cheering smile? Of the numerous dispensations it is our lot to bear, that of blindness seems, indeed, the most severe-the helpless. ness and dependence it induces should appeal to every heart. It is true, orbs of vision closed on light of sun or moon, the more may celestial light shine inward; yet, to tread Earth's garden-paths, forever veiled the beauty of sky or flower, is a heavy cross to bear. There are avenues of happiness which afford intense enjoyment, forever closed to the unfortunate who can not see the greatness of God in tinting the violet's velvet lining, or in the delicate roseleaf's mystic loveliness-who may not gaze on his goodness in arching the heavens with the beautiful covenant bow, or in spreading the earth with a soil yielding, in unbounded luxuriance, herb, tree, fruit, and flower. Wishing the little book God-speed, we commend it to the consideration of the generous and sympathetic." |

His fame rests on the five comic novels (one of doubtful authenticity) known collectively as Gargantua and Pantagruel, including the masterpieces Pantagruel (1532) and Gargantua (1534) as well as Le Tiers Livre (1546; "The Third Book"), his most profound work. These works display a delight in words, a mastery of storytelling, and deep humanist learning in a mosaic of scholarly, literary, and scientific parody that is unlike any previous work in French. The books were banned by civil and church authorities for their satirical content and earthy humour, but they were nevertheless read throughout Europe.

"As educators, how do we challenge and interrupt the social construction of whiteness in ourselves, in the classroom, in schools, and in the wider society? Coming from diverse backgrounds, the contributors in this volume draw on their own well-examined experiences of race, racism, and whiteness in developing effective antiracist pedagogies and classroom activities that interrupt and contest whiteness. They have explored their own lives from the selective position of their own memories and have traced the ways in which their assumptions - which they use to mediate and interpret the world around them - have been constituted by public ideological forces. They have collaborated with others in building alternative pedagogies and support systems, enabling them to teach, and at the same time, reflect on the assumptions behind and the effects of their teaching. The result is the work collected here." |

Fine. 104 pages, includes index, and 77 black and white illustrations. Brasses and Brass Rubbing is a comprehensive work, specially designed to help anyone who wishes to explore this fascinating craftsmanship of the past. Although it is primarily addressed to those who, like its author, are still students, it can be read with profit and enjoyment by people of all ages and abilities. Monumental church brasses reveal so many aspects of history, art, social manners, costumes, trades and heraldry that they form an indispensable part of all such studies. The rubbings obtained from them are also works of art and of decorative value in their own right. The author writes of the procedures and technical methods for obtaining these rubbings, and of the immense knowledge to be gained from them, in the most simple and direct yet comprehensive terms, and sets out the results of her own practical experience. Among the many illustrations is a sequence of photographs of the author demonstrating the techniques of brass rubbings. A feature of the book is a list of all the figure brasses in churches throughout the British Isles. |
