AIDS crisis archive, 1988 to 1995 documents medical education, community response, and lived experience during the HIV AIDS epidemic across the United States, the United Kingdom, and sub Saharan Africa. The material provides direct evidence of how governments, advocacy organizations, and affected communities addressed transmission, stigma, and care, with particular attention to pediatric patients, Black communities, and LGBTQ networks. Produced during a period of widespread public fear, evolving medical knowledge, and contested policy responses, the archive supports research into public health communication, grassroots activism, and the intersection of race, sexuality, and healthcare in the late twentieth century. United States, United Kingdom, Zimbabwe, and Uganda, 1988 to 1995. Archive of 11 items consisting of printed pamphlets, reports, poetry, and silver gelatin press photographs with captions and agency markings. [1] Foster, Geoff.

The inclusion of pediatric care facilities, international educational materials, and targeted outreach to Black and queer communities demonstrates the breadth of strategies employed to address the crisis.

As a result of her work to prevent destruction of ecosystems and to curb the dangers pesticides posed to the health of human communities, Carson was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Title: Handbuch der Pferd - und Vieharzney - Kunde ....
Author: Zünd, J J - VETERINARY MEDICINE
Seller: Palinurus Antiquarian Books (United States)
Condition: A good copy; some foxing throughout; joints chafed; binding rubbed.
Description: Philadelphia: For the Author by H Hory, 1832. First Edition.. Contemporary leather backed boards.. A good copy; some foxing throughout; joints chafed; binding rubbed.. 8vo, 376 + [8] pages Zünd was a graduate of the Royal Austrian Veterinary School. A student of such notables as Bidl, Erdely, and Langenbacher. The book offered here is no simple summary of remedies. It is a complex medical tract on veterinary medicine and diseases of the horse. It is unlike other American books of the period because it is written from an informed scientific viewpoint. Prior to Zünd's tract such treatises were based on a folk medicine tradition that circulated as small pamphlets among the agricultural communities. It is doubtful that Zünd's informed and lengthy book had a wide audience (indicated by the fact that it was self-published) in the farming communities where traditional "remedies" would have been hard to supplant. The final 8 pages of text contain a German/English medical vocabulary, index to the text, a final index arranged by wound type for quick reference, and the errata. The book also bears the contemporary ownership signature of John L Meyer, Dec. 15, 1832. Tucher # 2221; S & S # 17203.

Title: Rosa. A Slave Girl from New Orleans [caption title]
Author: [Abolition]: [Photography]: [Downs, Rosina]
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: New York: S. Tackaberry, 1864. Very good.. Carte de visite photograph, 3.25 x 2 inches, on a slightly larger printed mount. Minor soiling and spotting, light edge wear. One of a series of CDVs featuring recently freed slaves produced in 1863-64 as part of a fundraising effort in the American South. This image is noted as "No. 10" at the top of the verso. According to a notice printed on the verso: "The nett proceeds from the sale of these Photographs will be devoted to the education of colored people in the department of the Gulf, now under the command of Maj. Gen. Banks." The funds were used to establish schools for former slaves in southern Louisiana during the Union occupation of the region. The photograph was taken by Charles Paxson of New York, and copyrighted by S. Tackaberry in the Southern District of that state. The subject of the present photograph is Rosina Downs; she poses in a bonnet and jacket, with her arms crossed, looking left. A handful of photographs featuring Rosa were issued during the Civil War, including one in which she posed with another freed slave named Isaac White and yet another where she appeared with two other young women, Rebecca and Augusta. An entirely different image of Rosa, in which she looks directly into the camera, was also issued under the same title as the present photograph, but noted as "No. 1" at the top of the verso. According to the January 30, 1864 issue of Harper's Weekly: "Rosina Downs is not quite seven years old. She is a fair child, with a blonde complexion and silky hair. Her father is in the rebel army. She has one sister as white as herself and three brothers who are darker. Her mother, a bright mulatto, lives in New Orleans in a poor hut and has hard work to support her family." The present image was issued first in 1863 under the copyright of George Hanks with the photographer noted as M.H. Kimball, according to the photograph held by the Library of Congress. All versions of the photographs of Rosa seem to be exceedingly rare.
