Calif 1909/ Aug, with handstamp of photographer, R.E. Wales. PREFACE: "Immunity, in its present state of development, with its manifold new terms and special methods of experimentation, is a subject which appears difficult to one who has not studied the newer literature assiduously and grown into a knowledge of the conditions through actual work in the laboratory. Much of the literature is technical in character and appears in journals not commonly found in the hands of the physician and student. Much of it also is comparatively recent, and its 'essence' has not yet appeared in books which are in general use. The literature of immunity, moreover, grows so amazingly that the analysis even of current works is a task of no mean proportions." CONTENTS: Parasitism, Infectiousness, Contagiousness; Infectious Etiology; General Considerations; History and Development; Natural Immunity; Acquired Immunity; Toxins and Antitoxins; The "Structure" of Toxins and Antitoxins and the Nature of the Toxin-Antitoxin Reaction; The Phenomena of Agglutination; The Nature of the Substances Concerned in Agglutination .

HOWARD TAYLOR RICKETTS (1871 - 1910) was an American pathologist after whom the Rickettsiaceae family is named. Ricketts undertook research at Northwestern University on blastomycosis, and. later worked in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana and at the University of Chicago on Rocky Mountain spotted fever. While in Montana, Ricketts and his assistant discovered that the vector that carried the pathogen for Rocky Mountain spotted fever is a tick. It was not at once clear what kind of organism the pathogen was; eventually it was named Rickettsia, the first of the Rickettsiales to be identified. However, for decades, until electron microscopy and other technologies became sufficiently advanced, it was not known whether Rickettsiales were bacteria, viruses, or something in between. They now are known to be bacteria specialized for intracellular parasitism. Ricketts was devoted to his research and, on several occasions, injected himself with pathogens to study their effects. The pathogen causing Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Rickettsia rickettsii was named after him. In 1910, Ricketts became interested in a strain of murine-carried typhus known as tabardillo due to a major outbreak in Mexico City, and the apparent similarity of the disease to spotted fever. Days after isolating the organism that he believed caused typhus, he himself died of the disease. GARRISON-MORTON No. 2564.

Title: [Flyer]: Developing Ties Between Women Inside and the Feminist Movement
Seller: Between the Covers- Rare Books, Inc. ABAA (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: [San Francisco], 1980. Unbound. Near Fine. Photomechanically reproduced flyer on 8.5" x 11" paper. Very good with mild creasing, slight abrasions from tape removal, and small tape remnants. A flyer promoting a California feminist lecture about women in the prison system. A photocopied collage depicts naked woman giving birth, women behind bars, and women behind microphones with slogans surrounding them such as "imprisoned bodies" and "locked-down sister." The lecture was an attempt to make local feminists in California aware of those within the movement who had been imprisoned. One phrase on the page, "our friend Marilyn is in prison," is a possible reference to Marilyn Buck, an East Coast feminist poet sentenced to 80 years for helping Assata Shakur to escape prison in the early 1980s.
