Description
Philadelphia & London:: J.B. Lippincott, 1915., 1915. 8vo. xvi, 462 pp. Title printed in red & black. Plates, index. Original full dark blue black-ruled, gilt-stamped cloth, t.e.g. Embossed stamp of the Carnegie Institution, Mount Wilson Observatory. INSCRIBED BY GEORGE ELLERY HALE, June 1915. Very good. Scarce. Spencer Fullerton Baird was an American naturalist, ornithologist, ichthyologist, herpetologist, and museum curator. Baird was the first curator to be named at the Smithsonian Institution. He eventually served as assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian from 1850 to 1878, and as Secretary from 1878 until 1887. Baird's bibliography included more than a thousand titles, about ninety of which were formal scientific contributions. When he arrived at the Smithsonian in the fall of 1850, Baird brought with him two railroad box cars full of his personal collections. The new curator immediately focused on developing a world-class museum and soon set forth a museum program to Secretary Henry. Acknowledging Henry's stated policy of gathering only materials not previously collected by others, Baird proposed concentrating on collections illustrating the natural history of North America. He created a system of exchange using duplicate specimens and proposed to furnish travelers with the means of "determining the character of objects collected in various part of North America," thus creating an expansive network of collectors. – Smithsonian. / Baird was also founder of the Woods Hole Laboratory and Fisheries Science, and, while confined to a wheelchair due to his progressive poor health, he died there at the age of 65. / William Healey Dall was an American naturalist, a prominent malacologist, and one of the earliest scientific explorers of interior Alaska. He described many mollusks of the Pacific Northwest of North America, and was for many years America's preeminent authority on living and fossil mollusks.

Description
Boulder, Colorado: Westview Press, 1999. Fourth Edition. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 6x1x9. Fourth edition. Minor wear to top corner. 1999 Trade Paperback. xxi, 449 pp. The fourth edition of this widely praised text has been thoroughly revised to reflect the evolving characteristics of the current international system that have had a dramatic effect on every aspect of international relations of Latin America and the Caribbean. The original purpose of this book is unchanged: It continues to provide a topically current and analytically integrated survey of the region's role in the world. Still organized around the idea of Latin America and the Caribbean as a separate subsystem within the global international system, the discussion gives special emphasis to complex interstate and transnational structures and processes. Within this framework, Atkins analyzes the foreign policies of the Latin American states themselves and those of the United States and other countries toward Latin America and the Caribbean. He also looks closely at the nature and role of transnational actors in the region, such as the multinational corporations, the Holy See, Protestant Churches, transnational political parties, international labor, nongovernmental organizations, and others. He gives special attention to Latin American participation in international institutions at all levels.
