Title: Twenty Six Masterly Portraits of Men and Women of All Ages and Styles of Dress, Drawn by Noted Portrait Artist James Wells Champney
Author: James Wells Champney
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 06/1880. James Wells Champney was a 19th century American painter who studied in and exhibited in Europe and whose paintings include landscapes and portraits, for which latter genre he became especially known. Among the many portraits he painted is that of explorer Henry Morton Stanley. Champney was also an illustrator for the noted Century Magazine. His work is exhibited in museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.A large album leaf with fully 26 portraits of men and women of all ages and styles of dress. He has inscribed it, “Try to get a head of everybody, and oblige, Yours very cordially, J. Wells Champney, Deerfield, Mass., June 1880.” The studies on this album leaf are extraordinary, from the old and wise-looking man, unshaven, at top right, to the attractive young woman to his left. There are more portraits on this one sheet of paper than we have ever seen from any well-known artist, and the sheet is signed.

Seller: Palinurus Antiquarian Books

Title: Das Reich des Kindes
Author: Schreiber, A (ed.) - EDUCATION - CHILDREN
Seller: Palinurus Antiquarian Books (United States)
Condition: A very good copy; some spotting to the cloth.
Description: Berlin: Deutsche Buch-Gemeinschaft, [1930]. First Edition.. Publisher's half leather.. A very good copy; some spotting to the cloth.. 8vo. There are numerous half tone plates. An omnibus work that addresses the nurture, psychological well being, and education of young children. The rather poignant introduction describes a situation of perverse contradictions in attitudes toward children and child rearing in then present economic depression. The family, men, women, educators, physicians, and state are not blameless. Each bears a responsibility for the prevalent attitudes. The text is composed of essays by experts from medical, legal, and educational and human welfare professions. It is a most unusual book in that it is not a child rearing guide, but rather a well reasoned plea for generosity and compassion in providing a humane community through which children could achieve a level of beneficent adulthood.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: Nobel laureate Niko Tinbergen laid the foundations for the scientific study of animal behavior with his work on causation, development, function and evolution. In this book, an international cast of leading animal biologists reflect on the enduring significance of Tinbergen's groundbreaking proposals for modern behavioral biology. It includes a reprint of Tinbergen's original article on the famous "four whys" and a contemporary introduction, after which each of the four questions are discussed in the light of contemporary evidence. Also discussed is the wider significance of recent trends in evolutionary psychology and neuroecology to integrate the "four whys". With a foreword by one of Tinbergen's most prominent pupils, Aubrey Manning, this wide-ranging book demonstrates that Tinbergen's views on animal behavior are crucial for modern behavioral biology. It will appeal to graduate students and researchers in animal behavior, behavioral ecology and evolutionary biology.(Publisher).
