Title: Beiträge zur Pneumatologie des Blutes. Offprint. Insc. by Carl Ludwig
Author: Sechenov, Ivan Mikhailovich
Seller: Jeremy Norman & Co., Inc. (United States)
Description: 1859. Sechenov, Ivan Mikhailovich (1829-1905). Beiträge zur Pneumatologie des Blutes. Offprint from Sitzungsberichte der mathem.-naturw. Classe der kaiserlichen Akademie der Wissenschaft 36 (1859). 29pp. Plate. 237 x 151 mm. Modern marbled boards, original printed front wrapper bound in. Very good. Presentation Inscription from Carl Ludwig (1816-95), one of the founders of modern physiology, to "Prof. Bischoff" (possibly Theodor Ludwig Wilhelm von Bischoff [1807-82]): "Herrn Prof Bischoff mit v. herzl. Gruss v. C. Ludwig." First Edition, Offprint Issue of Sechenov's first important medical paper, inscribed by Sechenov's teacher Carl Ludwig, who may have been a co-author.. Sechenov, the founder of Russian physiology, was a student under Carl Ludwig when he published the present work describing investigations of blood gases he and Ludwig had performed in 1858 following the publication of Meyer's Die Gase des Blutes (1857). "In 1858 Carl Ludwig and his then student, Ivan Sechenov, constructed a pump based on a Torricellian vacuum (a vacuum above a column of mercury in a barometer) to liberate the gases from the blood. This pump was one of the first to give accurate, reliable measurements that later proved to be largely correct. The manually operated 'blood-gas pump' required considerable exertion to operate, with up to 20 extraction cycles performed to complete the process" (Ball and Featherstone, p. 419). The pump is illustrated in the plate. P. Astrup and J. W. Severinghaus, "Blood gas transport and analysis," in J. B. West, ed., Respiratory Physiology: People and Ideas, pp. 75-107. C. M. Ball and P. J. Featherstone, "Blood gas analysis: From laboratory to bedside," Anaesthesia and Intensive Care 49 (2021): 419-421. The recipient of this presentation copy may have been Theodor Ludwig Wilhelm von Bischoff, a German biologist and physician who made important contributions to embryology. .

Inscribed by the author on the title page: "To Albert + Jessie Danielsen / With a personal affection. Howard Thurman." This work was first published in 1945 by The Eucalyptus Press. Albert and Jessie Danielsen, the recipients of this copy, were generous philanthropists best remembered from their contributions to numerous institutions including Boston University, Brandeis University, and Bethune-Cookman College. The Albert + Jessie Danielsen Institute at Boston University actively works against all forms of social injustice through psychiatry and psychotherapy training, educational internships, and community outreach programs. Howard Thurman (1899-1981) was a prominent minister, academic, and civil rights leader of the 20th century. He served as dean of Rankin Chapel at Howard University from 1932-1944, then as dean of Marsh Chapel at Boston University from 1953-1965. Thurman's dedication to sharing the theology of radical nonviolence influenced many civil rights movement leaders, including Martin Luther King, Jr., who was mentored by Thurman while attending Boston University.

Title: Fourteen Photos of Workers in a Shoe Factory, 1905–1910
Author: [Labor History – Manufacturing – Women] Unknown Photographer
Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Condition: Very good contrast; some photos with much marginal damage and chipping; overall very good.
Description: United States, 1910. Fourteen photographs measuring approximately 6 ¾ x 8 ½ inch and smaller. Brown Brothers stamps and manuscript captions verso. Very good contrast; some photos with much marginal damage and chipping; overall very good.. Fourteen photographs of men and women at work in an unnamed shoe factory, dated 1905–1910. Most have captions at least naming the task that the workers are engaged in (mainly heeling), though some have more descriptive captions; one describes how the heeling machine works, and another identifies the leather the workers were using a shark skin. By this point, shoe manufacturing was well past its traditional handicraft days; shoes had been manufactured almost exclusively using machines since the late 19th century. Of interest to scholars of manufacturing history.

Title: SURREPTITIOUS PRINTING IN ENGLAND 1550-1640
Author: Woodfield, Denis B.16511
Seller: Oak Knoll Books/Oak Knoll Press (United States)
Description: New York: Bibliographical Society of America, 1973. cloth. 4to. cloth. ix, 203 pages. Very good condition. This book deals with those books, pamphlets and broadsides in contemporary foreign languages, including French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch, which were surreptitiously printed in England before 1640. Each of the 65 works is discussed in one of the six chapters. Printers and printing historians will also enjoy the reproductions of the titles pages and all 305 printer's ornaments and initials used in every work except for one. The introduction of this book attempts to present the story of the origins and development of surreptitious printing in foreign vernaculars in chronological form. Woodfield distinguishes between the word "surreptitiously printed" and "secretly printed" to describe these books as not illegal, but having meant to mislead the average reader, English or foreign, into believing that the work had been published in the country in whose language it was printed. A book in a foreign vernacular which was printed for the private order of a customer would also be considered to have been "surreptitiously printed" if it lacks an imprint. Some books may also have been printed because the author or patron decided to subsidize a possibly uneconomic edition. Included is a section on typography as well as a bibliography.
