Cover Title. COVER READS "Frente Nacional de Artes Plásticas" A Mexican monthly art magazine that covers subjects ranging from pre-Colombian art, Mexican muralism, and graphic arts. The slogan of the magazine is "por un arte al servicio del pueblo." The Frente Nacional de Artes Plásticas (FNAP) was a collective of artists founded in 1952, during the "crossing" between two adverse aesthetic art movements: the realism of the so-called Mexican School of Painting and what has been called the "Ruptura" (Rupture). The magazines Artes de México and Artes Plásticas, which were founded at the initiative of the FNAP, were fundamental for the dissemination of the FNAP political, social and artistic ideologies with a marked tendency to the left. Artes Plásticas, which indicated in its cover logo its membership of the FNAP, was the first to be published, with a monthly periodicity. Printed on modest paper, it was released towards the end of October 1952. Their editorial line was nationalist, understood as the preservation and dissemination of everything they considered heritage and a product of the Mexican Revolution. This issue includes a beautiful full-page engraving of Francisco Madero by the artist Angel Zamarripa. Founders and participants include: Francisco Goitia (Secretaria General), Ignacio Aguirre, Ana Mérida, Raul Anguiano.

CHARLES BENEDICT DAVENPORT (1866 – 1944) became one of the most prominent American biologists of his time, pioneering new quantitative standards of taxonomy. His father had a significant influence on his early career, as he encouraged Charles to become an engineer. In 1888 Davenport rebelled against his father and enrolled in the Harvard zoology program. Initially he joined in the general interest in invertebrate embryology, with particular attention-appropriately-on the development of individuality. He graduated with a Bachelor's after two years, and earned a Ph.D in biology in 1892. His first faculty position was as a professor of zoology at Harvard. He summered in Woods Hole (at the Fish Commission) and in Newport, and he pursued a variety of projects, culminating in his encyclopedic Experimental Morphology (offered here) in the late 1890s. From 1899 to 1904 Davenport taught at the University of Chicago. In 1904, he became director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and founded the Eugenics Record Office there in 1910. His 1911 book, Heredity in Relation to Eugenics, was used as a college textbook for many years. Davenport was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1907, and to the National Academy of Sciences in 1912. In 1921 he was elected as a Fellow of the American Statistical Association. PROVENANCE: JAMES WALKER WILSON (1896-1969) entered Brown in 1914 and studied biology under Professor Albert D. Mead. He graduated in 1918, spent a year in the army, and returned to Brown as a graduate student in biochemistry under Professor Philip H. Mitchell. His dissertation topic for his Ph.D. degree in 1921 was Contributions to the Biochemistry of Vitamin A. The same year he was appointed instructor in biology for one year to teach Professor Herbert E. Walter's courses while Walter was on leave. He ended up staying for forty years. He introduced a new course called "experimental morphogenesis," and did research on regeneration in flatworms. By 1936 he was recognized for developing a technique in kidney research, a perfusion apparatus which circulated synthetic blood through rabbit kidneys. In 1945 he became chairman of the Department of Biology and Frank L. Day Professor of Biology. He served as chairman until 1960.

Olive cloth, gilt titles and decorations on spine, color illustration with cream titles on front board. Frontispiece and plates by Alice Barber Stephens. An attractively illustrated edition of Alcott's classic novel. "Little Women is a novel by American author Louisa May Alcott (1832 - 1888), which was originally published in two volumes in 1868 and 1869. Alcott wrote the books over several months at the request of her publisher.[1][2] Following the lives of the four March sisters - Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy - the novel details their passage from childhood to womanhood and is loosely based on the author and her three sisters.[3][4]:202 Little Women was an immediate commercial and critical success with readers demanding to know more about the characters. Alcott quickly completed a second volume (entitled Good Wives in the United Kingdom, although this name originated from the publisher and not from Alcott). It was also successful. The two volumes were issued in 1880 as a single novel entitled Little Women. Alcott wrote two sequels to her popular work, both of which also featured the March sisters: Little Men (1871) and Jo's Boys (1886). Although Little Women was a novel for girls, it differed notably from the current writings for children, especially girls. The novel addressed three major themes: "domesticity, work, and true love, all of them interdependent and each necessary to the achievement of its heroine's individual identity."[5]:200 Little Women "has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both. It has been read as a family drama that validates virtue over wealth", but also "as a means of escaping that life by women who knew its gender constraints only too well".[6]:34 According to Sarah Elbert, Alcott created a new form of literature, one that took elements from Romantic children's fiction and combined it with others from sentimental novels, resulting in a totally new format. Elbert argued that within Little Women can be found the first vision of the "All-American girl" and that her multiple aspects are embodied in the differing March sisters.[5]:199 The book has been adapted for cinema; twice as silent film and four times with sound in 1933, 1949, 1978 and 1994. Six television series were made, including four by the BBC - 1950, 1958, 1970 and 2017. Two anime series were made in Japan during the 1980s. A musical version opened on Broadway in 2005. An American opera version in 1998 has been performed internationally and filmed for broadcast on US television in 2001.
