Seller: McBride Rare Books

Title: Historia do Brasil Progresso e Ordem [History of Brazil Progress and Order]
Author: [Japanese in Brazil]
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: [Tokyo?]: Kyouiku Kenkyuu Kai [Education and Research Group], 1958. Very good.. [5],5,106,[6]pp. Original pictorial wrappers, marbled paper spine. Spine mostly perished, moderate soiling, staining, and minor scuffing to wrappers. Occasional light foxing to text. First edition of this interesting history of Brazil, printed mostly in Japanese but with section headings and other elements printed in Portuguese. The text is an abridged version of Rocha Pombo's multi-volume Historia do Brazil, probably as a textbook for first-generation Japanese students in Brazil who are also learning native Portuguese. The work is printed in the Japanese style, and mimeographed or printed in a similar stencil-based method. The text is supplemented with numerous maps, illustrations, and portrait drawings related to Brazilian history. Three of the more striking illustrations occur in the first chapter, depicting a pair of indigenous Brazilians and an indigenous housing structure. The text begins with a chapter focused on the "Principais grupo de indigenas" and "A sociedade dos indigenas," and also includes sections on the western discovery of Brazil, the establishment of early colonies, the general government, agricultural history, slavery ("o trafico de negros"), various historical wars and revolts, the dynasty period, Brazilian independence, the early days of the republic, Brazil in the 20th century, and much more. Biographical passages of notable Brazilian figures are peppered throughout the text. This intriguing edition of Pombo's history of Brazil, most likely designed for Japanese students, does not appear in OCLC.

Description: Chicago: Rand McNally, 1904. About very good.. Folding map, approximately 21 x 27.5 inches. Original, wallet-style printed wrappers. Light wear to wraps; a few short separations along fold lines. Light tanning. Uncommon cartographic promotional for this early 20th-century mining company with operations near Cananea and Magdalena in the Northern Mexican state of Sonora. The Rand McNally map is overprinted in red to show the locations of Greene Consolidated Gold Company properties, as well as major railroad lines across the country. A special inset, titled, "Topographical Map of the Eastern Portion of the State of Sonora, Showing the Operating and Projected Railways with Relation to the Property of the Grene Consolidated Gold Co. and Other Important Mining Districts," provides a magnified view of the region where the company operated, and also shows other significant commercial mining ventures in this part of Sonora, as well as planned railroad construction in the area. A brief promotional text and additional information about the business are printed on the wrappers, which also incorporate a tear-off order form for stock in the company.

Seller: The First Edition Rare Books, LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: New York: William Sloane Associates, Inc, 1946. First Edition, First Printing. Cloth. Very good/near fine. The first edition of Thunder Out Of China, signed by Theodore H. White and Annalee Jacoby, the first book from Theodore H. White.. Octavo, xvi, 331pp, [1]. Blue cloth, title stamped in copper gilt on the spine. Stated "First Edition" on the copyright page. Illustrated endpapers. A few pencil notes and underlined passages. Rubbing along lower edge of boards. Solid text bock. In the publisher's dust jacket, price clipped, light toning along margins of rear panel, a near fine example. Signed opposite the title page: "Hello again / Annalee Jacoby / Theodore H. White." Thunder Out of China is a first-person account of China during World War II, focusing on the Sino-Japanese conflict and the collapse of Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government. It provided one of the first in-depth American perspectives on the political corruption, military disarray, and popular suffering that plagued China in the 1930s and 1940s. It was both widely read and influential, shaping U.S. public opinion about China's internal struggles and helping to explain the eventual Communist victory in 1949.
