Title: Fighting the Soviet Army: Archive of U.S. Manuals on Soviet Weapons, Electronic Warfare, Missiles, and Nuclear Battlefield Operations, 1978 to 1984
Author: Cold War Military Manuals
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1978. U.S. Army and Defense Department Soviet-threat instruction archive documenting late Cold War American intelligence on Soviet ground forces into battle-simulation tables, field doctrine, weapons comparisons, and nuclear battlefield procedures. "Soviet Military Power," carrying Secretary of Defense Caspar W. Weinberger's printed preface, shows Soviet tanks, artillery, helicopters, SS-20 and ICBM and SLBM launchers, bombers, naval construction, Afghanistan, and technology acquisition. The technology-transfer passage offers one of the clearest Cold War intelligence arguments stating that "The communist countries are some of the National Technical Information Services' best customers," and that before the Soviet subscription was terminated in February 1980 the Soviets bought an estimated 80,000 NTIS documents each year. Set beside Army manuals on Soviet organization, antitank weapons, SCUD-B missiles, PT-76 tanks, electronic warfare, and nuclear battlefield doctrine, the passage records an information war fought through public documents as much as espionage, the same government warning of Soviet acquisition of American technical literature was producing its own unclassified guides to Soviet equipment and tactics for battle simulation, officer training, and operational planning. Archive of five U.S. government publications and extracts on Soviet military organization, operations, tactics, weapons, electronic warfare, technology transfer, and nuclear battlefield doctrine. The group consists of staple-bound, punched, and wrappered government manuals and reports with organizational charts, contents pages, doctrinal summaries, weapons tables, captions, printed prefaces, equipment photographs, and restricted-distribution or field-manual markings. 1] United States Army Combined Arms Combat Developments Activity. HB 550-2, Organization and Equipment of the Soviet Army. Fort Leavenworth, Kansas: Threats Division, Concepts, Doctrine and Literature Directorate, Combined Arms Combat Developments Activity, 31 July 1978. Approximately 70 pages. 2] Defense Intelligence Agency. Review of the Soviet Ground Forces. RSGF 1-80. Washington, D.C.: Defense Intelligence Agency, January 1980. 39 pages. 3] United States Department of Defense. Soviet Military Power. Washington, D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1981. 99 Pages. Approximately 55 pages. 4] United States Department of the Army. FM 100-2-1, The Soviet Army: Operations and Tactics. Washington, D.C.: Headquarters, Department of the Army, 16 July 1984. Approximately 110 Pages. 5] United States Department of the Army. Extract FM 100-2-1, The Soviet Army: Operations and Tactics. Washington, D.C.: Headquarters, Department of the Army, after 16 July 1984. Approximately 40 Pages. These materials come out of the most dangerous turn of the late Cold War, the years when détente collapsed and the United States rearmed against an adversary it believed it was losing ground to. Afghanistan, the failure of SALT II, and the Reagan buildup hardened the conviction that American intelligence had undercounted Soviet strength, and out of that conviction came an industry of threat assessment whose working products these are. This archive shows the American manufacturing knowledge of its enemy: Soviet organization, armor, and doctrine reduced to simulation tables at Fort Leavenworth, codified into field manuals, and repackaged as public argument under the Secretary of Defense's name. Containing many references to nuclear, biological, and chemical operations as routine doctrine, while Soviet Military Power tallies the SS-20, ICBM, and SLBM launchers aimed at the West. Working copies containing scattered annotations and highlighted portions in some. Overall in good condition.

Title: The Living Substance as Such: and as Organism
Author: Andrews, Gwendolen Foulke
Seller: Biomed Rare Books LLC, ABAA, ILAB (United States)
Description: Boston: Ginn & Company, The Athenaeum Press, 1897. First edition. 1897. SCARCE PROVOCATIVE ESSAY ON THE NATURE OF PROTOPLASM BY PIONEERING FEMALE BIOLOGIST BEFORE THE RISE OF CELL AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY. 25 x 18 cm volume in publisher's green printed paper wraps, [4], 176 pp. Covers detached with edges chipped, paper spine partially perished, binding secure, all pages present in a custom protective mylar cover. A complete copy of the first edition of this rare volume. SARA GWENDOLEN FOULKES (1863 – 1936) was an American zoologist, marine biologist and poet. She was initially educated at private schools and subsequently attended Bryn Mawr College and the University of Pennsylvania. She conducted research at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and at the Station Biologique de Roscoff. During the 1880s, Foulke focused her research on infusoria and rotifers, microscopic water inhabiting animals. She later focused on the properties of protoplasm, and in 1897 published The Living Substance as such, and as Organism as a supplement to The Journal of Morphology. Although initially harshly criticized, in writing her obituary, Henry Van Peters Wilson claimed it as a work of "genius". The book delves into the concept of life and the nature of living organisms. Andrews explores the idea that all living things are made up of a "living substance" that is different from non-living matter. She argues that this substance is capable of self-organization and self-regulation, and that it is the basis for all life on Earth. Andrews also discusses the role of this living substance in the development and evolution of organisms. She examines the ways in which living things adapt and change over time, and how they are able to maintain their integrity and identity despite these changes. Throughout the book, Andrews draws on a range of scientific and philosophical sources to support her arguments. She discusses the work of prominent scientists such as Charles Darwin and Ernst Haeckel, as well as the ideas of philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and Arthur Schopenhauer. The book offers a unique perspective on the subject that is still relevant today, more than a century after it was first published. OBITUARY BY H. V. WILSON, Science No 158Feb 26, 1937 (condensed): "On December 13, 1936, there passed away a woman with the rare gift of genius, Mrs. Ethan Allen Andrews, the wife of Professor E. A. Andrews, of Johns Hopkins. Her earlier investigations dealt with infusoria and rotifers, but she became deeply interested in the structure and habits of protoplasm in general. And this is the theme of her classic memoir, "The Living Substance as Such: and as Organism," published as a special supplement of the Journal of Morphology in 1897, a memoir which carried her name and aroused admiration in biological circles throughout the world. It has both depth and a grasp of many ideas. And one can read to advantage and with pleasure to-day this record of the multifarious experiences of a very thoughtful mind and a remarkable pair of eyes, aided by the best microscopic equipment of the time, in an exploration of the appearance and behavior of living protoplasm in protozoa, myxomycetes, leucocytes of invertebrates, sea-urchin and starfish embryos, fish eggs and other things. The histological section of this notable work is followed by a survey of the various phenomena of living nature as exhibited by individual organisms, all looked on as the outcome of the activities of substances, species-plasms or idioplasms, conceived of as isomorphic, everywhere differentiative and directive, and not optically analyzable. All these are designated "substance organs." Whether such ideas are tenable time and the future history of our present concept of genes as persistent and self-perpetuative entities will show. However that may be, the reader turning the pages of this memoir, now forty years old and which did not come into its own at once but encountered some inept criticism, will readily recognize, employing the words of von Baer, that we have here "observations and reflections" of genius."--H. V. Wilson was the world's leading authority on the morphology, taxonomy and behavior of sponges for over three decades.
