Description
(Chicago): n.p., 1962. Very good.. Richly detailed photo archive of the construction of the Dan Ryan Expressway, which destroyed or isolated the predominantly Black communities of Chicago's South Side. An extensive collection of over 300 photographs documenting one of Chicago's largest-ever infrastructure projects. The twelve-mile, $180 million, fourteen-lane Dan Ryan Expressway was conceived to connect Chicago's southern suburbs with the heart of its downtown. The superhighway's construction, however, had two far-reaching (though not entirely unforeseen) consequences. The first was that it accelerated the movement of affluent white residents to these now more accessible suburbs ("white flight"). The second, more immediate result was the destruction of tens of thousands of homes and the displacement of over 80,000 (predominantly African American) residents - a scope of dislocation that dwarfed even that of the Eisenhower Expressway built just a few years earlier, which affected thousands of (again predominantly lower class and non-White) families and hundreds of businesses. The Dan Ryan Expressway literally cemented the divide between the historically Black neighborhoods (like Bronzeville) and those it bordered, including Armour Square (home to Chicago's Chinatown), and the predominantly white working-class Bridgeport (perhaps not coincidentally the original home of then-mayor Richard J. Daley). This isolation would only exacerbate the poverty and violence of the area over the coming decades. This socio-economically enforced segregation is perhaps best represented in the archive by the regular presence throughout of the notorious Robert Taylor Homes, an infamous group of looming high-rise tenements, part of "the largest concentration of public housing in the nation [that] [t]he Dan Ryan was purposefully designed to run immediately alongside" (Hagan et al, 67). Most of the photos document the period between March 1962 and the end of construction (in December of the same year). Their purpose is not immediately clear. While many of the photos are stamped "Northside Photo Service" (with one or two retaining the stamp of individual photographers), a number of the images bear the stamp or adhered squib of "A.A.A. Photographers, Legal & Evidence Photos." The images' frequently aerial and wide-angle points-of-view, however, clearly and carefully document (likely unintentionally) the devastation of the project. Along the edges of the frames of most images can be seen rows of buildings, homes, and businesses (often identifiable) now suddenly abutting a huge swath of earthen demolition and construction - what would soon become in effect its own kind of Berlin Wall. A handful of images focus on individual blocks or buildings and sometimes capture Black residents in front of their homes. Though a few are annotated by hand ("Wrecking old buildings," "Picture shows blacktop spillage that we constantly had to pick up after Milburn's Blacktop Operation, J. McLean"), most simply describe in typed captions the view and date (i.e. "#131 Southeast from 33rd & Wentworth 10-10-62."). In addition, a number of South Side landmarks are also visible, including a few photos of Comiskey Park, original home of the White Sox. A stark and revealing archive, worthy of further study, documenting an enormous urban public works project, whose impacts on segregation, economic and civil rights, and redlining - a term coined by Northwestern sociologist John McKnight shortly after this very construction was completed to describe similar discriminatory practices in Chicago - continue to reverberate throughout Chicago, which "has remained one of the most segregated regions in the United States" (Williams and Emamdjomeh). 10'' x 8'' all. Two green cloth commercial three-hole-punch binders with leather corners. Each containing 89 black-and-white gelatin silver photographs. Plus 149 loose photographs (binders presumably perished). 327 images in total. All photographs backed on linen, nearly all with extended reinforced margin punched with three holes (a handful lacking the extended margin). Most images curled at the edges, some spotting/foxing to versos of a handful of images (not effecting recto). Minor wear to binders. Otherwise bright and clean. Housed in two archival boxes.

Description
Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1912. First printing. Very good.. First edition of Winter's best and scarcest book, the childhood copy of Arthur Houghton Jr., whose endowment made possible the founding of Harvard's Houghton Library. A fantasy trip taken by little Billy (who had a pop-gun), this book immediately brings to mind similar books by Maurice Sendak in which little boys navigate fantastical landscapes half a century later, such as WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE and IN THE NIGHT KITCHEN. This is Arthur Houghton Jr.'s copy, gifted to him in 1912, when he was only six years old. A nice copy of a wonderful fantasy, notoriously scarce in collectible condition. 10.5'' x 8''. Original quarter tan cloth, grey paper boards with pictorial paste-on. Green pictorial endpapers. Illustrated by Winter with 8 fabulous color plates, plus line illustrations in-text. 61, [1] pages. Careful repair to gutters of text block. Moderate wear and spotting to boards and spine, some margin finger smudges.

288 pages with diagrams and tables. Octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/4") bound in quarter red cloth with purple stiff boards and gilt title to spine. (Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana:5223) First edition.This was the Fifth German Chess Congress of the Deutschen Schachbund (DSB - German Chess Federation). It took place in Frankfurt am Main in 1887, the venue being the Assembly Rooms of the Zoological Gardens. German chess benefitted from the rapid expansion of the economy after 1880, the period known as "Gründerzeit" (Founding period) in which many large and soon to be prominent industrial companies were created such as: Krupp, Stinnes, Hoesch and Thyssen. A period of economic prosperity extending until the First World War provided the means for German chess to stage large international tournaments. Using Chessmetrics' data, the Fifth German Chess Congress was the strongest tournament held between 1885 and 1895. With the exceptions of Wilhelm Steinitz (1st) and James Mason (8th), it involved all the ten top players of the time. The tournament comprised: a Master Tournament, a Major Tournament ("Hauptturnier"), a First-Class Tournament, a Second-Class Tournament and a "Free tournament" for "for participants in the major and minor tournaments". Due to a small number of players, the Hauptturnier was divided into two preliminary groups, the top players of each group then progressing into the final "Siegergruppe" (Winning group). Bauer won the Siegergruppe and so won the Hauptturnier. George Henry Mackenzie won the first prize of 1,000 Marks. Joseph Henry Blackburne and Max Weiss shared second and third prizes of 750 + 500 Marks. Von Bardeleben fourth prize - 300 Marks and contributing author of the tournament book. Berger and Tarrasch shared fifth and sixth prizes; Englisch seventh prize and Paulsen and Schallopp shared eight prize. Tarrasch's score is notable. After a very poor start, he played with great determination to come in with the second highest tally of wins (11) along with Blackburn. His loses, meant, however, that he could only secure a share of fifth and sixth places. Similarly, Paulsen with 10 wins and 8 losses could only come in to share eighth prize. Outside of the prize list, Burn had 9 wins but 10 loses.Condition:Corners bumped and rubbed, previous owner's book plate removed from front paste down, spine sunned else a very good copy of a scarce tournament title

quarto, index at front of volume, 334 pages of letters, plus 15 pages of proceedings from the Peace Union, badly faded pages were not included in the count, plus blanks, several related ephemeral items laid in, bound in original ½ sheep and cloth covered boards. The letters are copied on thin tissue like paper, some are faded, some spotting to text, but overall in very good legible condition. Contains several hundred letters, there are many pages with two letters per page pertaining to Browning's Nursery business. The volume contains copies of O. F. Browning's outgoing correspondence concerning his nursery and plant business. O. F. Browning was located at 7 Murray Street in New York City and later in Chatham, Columbia County, New York, Browning gives his precise location as Chatham 4 Corners. Browning was born in 1842 in Claverack, New York and died in 1878 in Chatham. Browning did much of his business as a commission agent moving "car loads" of seedlings, plant cuttings, vines, around the northeast and Midwest. Grapes, vines of various types, currant cuttings, potatoes, apple seeds, pear, cherry, various maple and hemlock trees, elms, Kentucky coffee-trees, basswood, arbor vitae and other trees and products of the orchard and farm were all bought and sold via his connections with buyers, growers, orchardists, and arborists. Browning also purchased and sold cattle and poultry, he utilized all the transport options of the day, rail and steamship. Browning's letters to his suppliers and customers are detailed and precise, asking for specific discounts, commission rates, types of plants, requests for samples; he also on occasion tries to collect on overdue accounts and uses his sent documents as proof of agreed upon arrangements. Browning also had an additional side business as a middleman for agricultural publications and advertising copywriter, he also worked with printers and stationers for supply of seed packets and related paper items (see inlaid ephemeral materials). The volume contains a 15 page section covering the "Proceedings of the Third Anniversary of the Universal Peace Union in Dodworth Hall in New York March 14th 1869…" Browning seems to have been a member, and kept a record of the proceedings either as a recording secretary or for his own purposes. This section contains a running account of the meeting, with a list of attendees, the prominent members of the national organization, including: Bryan J. Butts of Hopedale, Massachusetts, Elizabeth B. Chase, William Higby, Alfred H. Love, Sarah E. Sommerby, Dr. Elijah Swackhammer Wolf of Colorado, Dr. Halleck and others. One of the notes in the volume states that "O.F. Browning, Sarah E. Sommerby and Zebulon Wright served as a committee on nominations of officers of the Society for the following year." Browning gives details on petitions to Congress, discussions and comments of members, reported verbatim. The tragic loss of life resulting from the Civil War colored many of the impassioned statements recorded by Browning. There is at least one letter to Alfred H. Love. In the volume. The Universal Peace Union was, according to the Swarthmore College Peace Collection: "The most radical and important peace organization to rise from the Civil War." "This militant band grew out of reaction against compromising tactics which the American Peace Society adopted during the Civil War. The new movement was launched at Providence, Rhode Island in 1866. Taking leading parts were Joshua P. Blanshard, Adin Ballou, Henry C. Wright, Alfred H. Love, and Lucretia Mott." The volume includes several related pieces of ephemera laid in, including a two page printed circular, measuring 8 ½ x 12 inches, "List of Agricultural & Horticultural papers," which lists several dozen commercial farming and related publications in the United States, subscription and advertising rates for each. Browning offered to be a clearing house or broker: "… thus saving you much time, care and unnecessary labor…", with wood engraved vignette, the verso contains a list of the agricultural and horticultural books on offer via Browning's Exchange. Also includes an 1873 printed Landlord's Agreement between J. S. Steutenburgh and Oscar F. Browning for a "… Certain Dwelling house and Grounds at Hyde Park…" lists the terms, signed.

Contemporary paste-paper boards, worn, speckled edges. Borelli’s famous work applying mechanics to muscles (first published posthumously in 1680-81) together with Johann Bernoulli’s treatises applying mechanics to fermentation, along with his Dissertation de motu musculorum. This classic work established muscular mechanics as a science and was important in the history of cardiology and circulation. Bernoulli (1667-1748), of the famous Swiss family of mathematicians and physicists, was influenced by Borelli’s iatromathematical approach, as he demonstrated in his first paper on fermentation.

Description
72057593498894297: New Mexico (?), 1950. Softcover. First edition, n.d. (ca 1950); 5 1/2 x 8 1/2; pp. [12]; brown die-cut wraps tied with decorative string; minor crease to back cover, else fine. Illustrated with drawings and photographs, including one of young Mark Twain who was a "printer's devil" at the Weekly Missouri Courrier in the 1850s. The book is a fascinating account of the so called "printer's devils" - the youngest and lowliest employees in the printing trade tasked with the 'drudgery work' - in New Mexico. Quite scarce - OCLC lists one copy at George Mason University with this the only one in the trade.

Description
Lexington MA/Toronto: Lexington Books / D. C. Heath and Co.. Very Good+. (c.1982). First Edition. Hardcover. 0669052329 . (no dust jacket, possibly as issued) [minor bumping at top of spine, slight wear evident at several corners, a touch of fading to spine, bookseller's label on front pastedown, some light pencil-underlining and annotation on the first few pages and throughout the last couple of chapters]. (figures, tables, B&W photographs) Everything you might want to know about Radar Cross-Section Estimation and Control (Chapter 1), Passive Enhancement Techniques (surveyed in Chapter 2), Spatial Coverage of Radar Reflectors (Chapter 3), Radar Cross-Section Measurement Techniques (Chapter 4), and more, so much more, all the way to Radar Cross-Section Models in Detection (Chapter 9). When I acquired this book, there was a bookmark inserted at page 21, and there are apparently no pencil annotations from that point until the last couple of chapters; my deduction is that the previous owner just couldn't wait to see how it ended! .
