Benevenutus Grassus De Oculis: Eorumque Egritudininbus et Curis Benevenutus Grassus De Oculis: Eorumque Egritudininbus et Curis $13.69 Benevenutus Grassus of Jerusalem, Translated and Edited by Casey A. Wood Book
Benevenutus Grassus De Oculis: Eorumque Egritudininbus et Curis Benevenutus Grassus De Oculis: Eorumque Egritudininbus et Curis $13.69 Benevenutus Grassus of Jerusalem, Translated and Edited by Casey A. Wood Book The small volume by Benevenutus of Jerusalem should interest us because it was, in its various editions of script and print, for over five hundred years the most popular ophthalmic manual of the Middle Ages. We are acquainted with about forty texts of this important tractate – twenty-two manuscripts and about eighteen printed editions. Some of the former are incomplete, one is an mere fragment, and two others have been lost. As is the case with all ancient and medieval codices and printed books, there are very few copies of the Benevenutus texts in existence. The position held by the Benevenutus treatise in the esteem of medieval surgeons was undoubtedly very high. It was to them a practical handbook of ophthalmic practice, written by the most famous oculist and cataract operator of his day; and from all points of view, popular and professional, it outranked the writings of Jesus Hali, Alcanamosali, Alkoatim, John de Peckham, or any other contemporary. A study of this monograph is, accordingly, indispensable to a proper understanding of the history of ophthalmology and its progress from the tenth to the twentieth centuries.

WATER RIGHTS FOR IRRIGATION: Principles and Procedure for Engineers WATER RIGHTS FOR IRRIGATION: Principles and Procedure for Engineers $15.52 S.T. Harding Book
WATER RIGHTS FOR IRRIGATION: Principles and Procedure for Engineers WATER RIGHTS FOR IRRIGATION: Principles and Procedure for Engineers $15.52 S.T. Harding Book This discussion of water rights has resulted from the author's teaching of this subject, mainly to engineering students, at the University of California for more than twenty years. It has been the purpose of such instruction to acquaint the students with the essential features of procedure with which they may become concerned in the practice of engineering for irrigation and other projects involving the use of water in the western states. It is essential that the engineering material required in connection with the acquirement, adjudication, and administration of water rights should be prepared in accordance with the principles of the procedure in effect in the different states. While it is necessary to base much of the discussion on court decisions, legal technicalities have been avoided as far as practicable. As water is the most important natural resource of the western states, acquirement of rights of its use involves many matters of public policy. Some discussion of the history of such policy and its applications has been included. As much of the land in these states is still public, acquirement of rights of way over public lands, both reserved and unreserved, is an essential part of most water-supply projects, and a discussion of procedure for such acquirement has also been included. The different forms of organization used in irrigation development are also covered in the course in this field as given at the University of California. These have not been included herein. However, as excellent bulletins on these organizations by Mr. Wells Hutchins, of the Bureau of Agricultural Engineering, U.S. Department of Agriculture, are available and adequate. The material presented includes law, engineering, and public policy. It has been prepared by the writer because no available books covered the portions of these subjects which it was desired to present except legal texts of much greater length and detail than are suitable for use by non-legal students. The Elements of Western Water Law, by Mr. A. E. Chandler, covered this field adequately and was used as long as it was available. Since this has been out of print, mimeographed notes prepared by the writer have been used. Among other books in this field may be mentioned such extensive legal texts as Water Rights in the Western States, by Samuel C. Wiel, and Law of Irrigation, by C. S. Kinney. A History of Public Land Policies, by B. H. Hibbard, covers this subject thoroughly. Water Supply and Utilization, by Baker and Conkling, includes chapters on water - rights and their administration. As this discussion has been prepared largely for use with California students, more attention has been given to matters relating to riparian rights than the extent of their use throughout the West would justify. Owing to its recognition of riparian rights to a much greater extent than the other western states, California has experienced a larger amount of complications and restrictions in the orderly development of her water resources than have those states abrogating or more closely limiting riparian rights. A fairly complete discussion of California water-right history is necessary to an understanding of the present status of riparian rights there, although recent constitutional amendments and court decisions give grounds for much hope that a more practicable basis has been reached. The material presented herein rests on the author's contact with this filed for over twenty-five years. This contact has included procedure before state offices supervising water rights in several of the western states, adjudications in both state and federal courts, and work as consultant for state, federal, and private agencies. The writer has found his associate membership in the Association of Western State Engineers particularly helpful in obtaining a perspective of this filed as distinguished from the more local point of view of the separate states. The material presented herein was completed in October, 1935, and includes the court decisions and records available to the author to that date. S. T.

Joaquin Miller: Literary Frontiersman Joaquin Miller: Literary Frontiersman $16.24 Martin Severin Peterson Book
Joaquin Miller: Literary Frontiersman Joaquin Miller: Literary Frontiersman $16.24 Martin Severin Peterson Book Mining-camp cook, country schoolmaster, gold prospector, pony expressman, editor, judge, poet, and journalist, was Joaquin Miller, a literary frontiersman who was at home not only among the rough-and=ready pioneers of the Old West, but also among the elite in the drawing rooms abroad as well. Here is the man portrayed in the simplicity, the eccentricity, the shrewdness, the genius that marked his character; an authentic record which dispels some of the legends that attach to his name, but which gains by so doing. At the same time it is a critical appraisal of his contribution as a poet, not in an effort to move him up in rank, nor to "rediscover" him, but to show how much he did, in spite of obvious limitations, to energize the life and literature of his day.

Rael Book Cuentos Españoles de Colorado y Nuevo Méjico Volume 1 FOREWORD Cuentos Españoles de Colorado y de Nuevo Méjico, collected by my colleague and former student Professor Juan B. Rael, is of great importance to Spanish folklore studies. It is easily the best and most abundant collection of folktales that we now have from Spanish America. He has already published some of them in the Journal of American Folklore (see note 2), but the publication of the complete collection is greatly needed by folklorists. I have utilized the entire collection in the Comparative Notes in volumes II and III of my recent publication, Cuentos populates españoles (see note 6), and the importance of the collection is obvious. Thanks to the labors of Professor Rael, the Spanish folk tales from Colorado and New Mexico are now well known, and their publication will make available for folklorists in general, especially students of the Spanish folk tale, some of the most valuable materials of the folklore of Spanish America. They will prove definitely that Spanish tradition in Colorado and New Mexico is as vigorous and strong as anywhere in the Spanish speaking world. Aurelio M. Espinosa Stanford University Juan B. Rael (1900-1993) was a Professor at Stanford University from 1934 until his retirement in 1965. He was a specialist in Spanish composition, Spanish-American literature and Mexican culture.

The Politics of Peace: An Evaluation of Arms Conrols The Politics of Peace: An Evaluation of Arms Conrols $18.07 John H. Barton Book THE POLITICS OF PEACE An Evaluation of Arms Control John H. Barton Published in 1981 As practiced in the last two decades, arms control can provide some, but only very limited, help in maintaining peace; this is the conclusion that emerges from this evaluation of the capabilities and limitations of arms control. Substantial reductions in weapons am extremely desirable, but the author suggests that the current arms control approach is politically unable to produce such reductions, as confirmed by the SALT negotiations and the withdrawal of the draft SALT II treaty. After reaching this pessimistic judgment, the author considers possible changes in the arms control process. He carefully examines the problem of enforcement and finds that traditional concepts of large-scale international military forces am likely to be of little help, but that less dramatic procedures based on public opinion or on very constrained use of force are likely to be much more beneficial. He then reviews possible arms control applications to identify situations in which this favorable interplay can be achieved. The resulting new arms control agenda includes international organization reform, new kinds of expert groups, and new forms of international military consultation. For all these innovations the author suggests politically plausible first steps. John H.

In Turns of Tempest: A Reading of Job In Turns of Tempest: A Reading of Job $25.00 Edwin M. Good Book
In Turns of Tempest: A Reading of Job In Turns of Tempest: A Reading of Job $25.00 Edwin M. Good Book In Turns of Tempest A Reading of Job, with a Translation This study approaches the Book of Job as a book, as a work of literary art. Drawing on deconstruction’s pleasure in indeterminacy, the author asks how the text of Job plays, how it discloses its patterns of words in all their multiple possibilities. Asserting that a literary text is a game of language, a play of the linguistic imagination, the author emphasizes how a text, in this case the Book of Job, involves sound as well as sight, rhythm as well as grammar, patterns of recurring words and syllables as well as recurring thoughts and ideas. A text may entail images with many possible referents and pictures, words with double or triple meanings, and words, phrases, or sentences used in ways that deny conventional meanings or include and surpass them. This is how the author approaches Job, as a literary text, not a mere purveying of fact. In his close reading of the Book of Job, the author’s intent is not to close down options of understanding but to break them open, not to decide definitively that one alternative interpretation of any part of the text is to be adopted, but to allow the alternatives free rein as he ask, again and again, how the text plays itself. His reading of Job does not pretend to discover Truth about or in the book. Rather, he claims that truth cannot be found, that there is no single correct understanding of the Book of Job. The author argues that even good English translations of Job have serious flaws, and to refer readers to them would necessitate constantly interjecting disagreements with this rendering or that one. So he has prepared his own translation, one that reflects, insofar as possible, the characteristics of the original Hebrew – including rough edges of ambiguous syntax, moments of add or seemingly awkward phrasing, or lacunae where translation is speculative or impossible. The translation is annotated with notes keyed to chapter, verse numbers, and words. These annotations identify the choices the author has made, alternative and additional possibilities, and problems in the text, and, in a few cases, argue with other scholars’ treatment. In the author’s words, “the translation presents the text as I see it when I am willing to make decisions, and the annotations give other options, and demonstrate the need for wariness and uncertainty.” There are two introductions. A “dispensable” introduction (dispensable because it does not help readers to deal with the Book of Job as a book) discusses such topics as authorship, dating, and the relationship of the Book of Job to other literature. An “indispensable” introduction includes a discussion of the main characteristics of Hebrew poetry and a detailed analysis of the problems of translating Job. Edwin M.

Professor Robert J. Kerner points out in his Forward to this volume: “The author….has carefully blended the economic and other factors, which ruled the period, with diplomacy, and has demonstrated in abundant detail the intimate connection which existed between the commercial and diplomatic efforts of the Great Powers. No only is a large and important segment of British commercial history clearly and adequately explored, but also it is fitted into the warp and woof of European commerce as a whole. The economic background of the Crimean War has received its first thorough analysis.” This is a reproduction edition from a scanned copy of the original: Title: International Economics and Diplomacy in the Near East Author: Vernon John Puryear Publisher: Stanford University Press, 1935 ISBN: 080473318X Contents: Introduction 1 Anglo-Russian Political Rivalry 1834-1838 11 The Near Eastern Question in 1838 71 Virtual Free Trade Established in Turkey, 1838-1839 107 The Turco-Egyptian War of 1839-1841 and the Closure of the Straits to Foreign Warships 146 The Powers and the Near Eastern Grain Trade, 1840-1853 180 British Commercial Policy and the Crimean War 227

International Arms Control: Issues and Agreements International Arms Control: Issues and Agreements $23.68 Stanford Arms Control Group, Edited by John H. Barton and Lawrence D. Weiler Book This is a reproduction edition from the 1976 publication. This is an exhaustive analysis of national and international arms control: its history, philosophy, cultural context, technology, economic and political ramifications, achievements, and future prospects. The book reflects the combined contributions of the Stanford Arms Control Group, an interdisciplinary group of nearly twenty faculty members who have been jointly teaching an undergraduate arms control course at Stanford University since 1971. The book will assist the general reader in understanding and forming intelligent opinions on such issues as the role of doctrine in military strategy, the difficulties posed by rapidly changing technology, and the value limitations of arms control as a way to prevent war. It is also designed as supplementary reading for courses in international relations, diplomatic history, and foreign policy. An appendix contains the text of eighteen major arms control agreements. The volume concludes with discussion questions and suggestions for further reading. John H. Barton is Professor of Law at Stanford University. Lawrence D. Weiler is Adjunct Professor of Political Science at Stanford University.

Smollett's Hoax: Don Quixote in English Smollett's Hoax: Don Quixote in English $13.72 Carmine Rocco Linsalata Book
Smollett's Hoax: Don Quixote in English Smollett's Hoax: Don Quixote in English $13.72 Carmine Rocco Linsalata Book This is a reproduction edition from the original 1956 publication. The early role of Cervantes in English and American literature has some confused overtones, but in the last few years much has been done to clarify it. No study of the fortunes of Don Quixote in English would be complete without a thorough investigation of that “gem in the realm of fraudulent acts” – Tobias Smollett’s translation of “Don Quixote.” Through a linear study of the Spanish and English texts, Professor Linsalata has gathered evidence, which he here sets forth, that Smollett did not know Spanish and that the translation bearing his name was the work of mediocre translators in his hire. Professor Linsalata presents his arguments in detail and in a clear and vigorous style. A work of careful scholarship and discernment, this study not only puts an end to undocumented belaboring of a problem that has always puzzled Smollett’s critics and biographers, but also, by culling and classifying the deficiencies of Smollett’s “translation,” points out how certain pitfalls that tend to trap the inexperienced translator can be avoided.

The Odyssey of Shen Congwen The Odyssey of Shen Congwen $24.64 Jeffrey C. Kinkley Book
The Odyssey of Shen Congwen The Odyssey of Shen Congwen $24.64 Jeffrey C. Kinkley Book This is a literary biography and a study of the life and times of Shen Congwen (b. 1902), a founder of China's modern fiction and one of the most important Chinese writers of this century. Almost alone among modern Chinese writers, Shen refused to join any writers' group or political movement on principle, in order to retain his freedom to create and to criticize. He thus came to be "every faction's enemy, but no faction's archenemy." Yet his very aloofness from politics enabled him to survive the martyrdoms of his leftist friends in the 1920's and 1930's, and the purges of the more visible writers (often Party members) in the 1950's and 1960's. He weathered more than five decades of literary turmoil to reemerge in 1979 and 1980, when he was extensively interviewed by the author both in China and during his first visit to the United States. This book does four things: first, it presents a biography of Shen, using his autobiographical essays and fiction as well as new information from interviews and historical materials; second, it gives a vivid picture of recent Chinese history, depicting the saga of Shen's native region, West Hunan, as seen by him in his capacities as regional writer, mythmaker, and chronicler; third, it elucidates Shen's thinking about literature; and fourth, it describes Shens's trials and tribulations as an author, casting light on the development of Chinese literature in this century. Shen has had three careers in his long life. In his late teens he became a warlord soldier in West Hunan, a remote mountainous area of Southwest China. Later, in his second career as a young writer in Peking, it was Shen's social and artistic vision of this land and the soldiers that defended it that quickly established him as a regional writers and the "Dumas of China." Adding teaching and editing of prominent literary journals to his writing in the 1930's, Shen evolved the lyrical, pastoral style and well-made plots that made him famous. His third career as an art historian since 1949 builds on his longstanding fascination with the material culture of traditional China. Jeffery C.

The 'Nazi Menace' in Argentina 1931-1947 The 'Nazi Menace' in Argentina 1931-1947 $26.41 Robert C. Newton Book
The 'Nazi Menace' in Argentina 1931-1947 The 'Nazi Menace' in Argentina 1931-1947 $26.41 Robert C. Newton Book One of the unanswered questions in the history of the 1930's and 1940's concerns just what the Nazis were up to in Argentina. Here was a country whose population was almost entirely European in origin and outlook, led by a conservative landed elite determined to retain power against the rising forces of socialism and "bolshevism." Here, too, was a substantial German-speaking minority numbering some quarter of a million. Could Argentina, then, have "gone Nazi"? This is the first complete, thoroughly researched investigation into the myth and reality of Nazi Germany's influence and activities in Argentina. It covers Nazi attempts to penetrate and convert Argentina's German-speaking population, to proselytize the Argentine military and right-wing political groups, and to influence the governments of the period. It also penetrates the maze of forgeries, propaganda, and assorted "dirty tricks" propagated by both the Allies and the Axis, thus providing a factual account of clandestine activities during the war years, and the alleged movement of Nazi war criminals and treasure to Argentina at the war's end. Among the author's major findings are that Germany in fact had no strategic designs on Argentina, but saw it as a market for export sales and a source of raw materials; that the response of German-Argentines and Argentines in general to Nazism was limited and dictated mostly by opportunism; and that both the British and Argentine governments took the measure of the German challenge calmly and rationally, and that it was the United States that became alarmed over the "Nazi menace." Despite what the author demonstrates were the reckless and foolish activities of Nazi agents, the U.S. government and media were ignorant and gullible concerning Argentina. The British and antifascist exiles were consequently able to manipulate the United States skillfully through a series of hoaxes, several of which this book exposes. And though Argentina did provide sanctuary to ex-fascists after World War II, Germs were almost certainly outnumbered by Italians, Croats, and East Europeans. The book is illustrated with some 20 photographs. Ronald C.

Systematics, Historical Ecology, and North American Freshwater Fishes Systematics, Historical Ecology, and North American Freshwater Fishes $58.47 Richard L Mayden Book
Systematics, Historical Ecology, and North American Freshwater Fishes Systematics, Historical Ecology, and North American Freshwater Fishes $58.47 Richard L Mayden Book Systematics, Historical Ecology, & North American Freshwater Fishes Edited by Richard L. Mayden This book addresses the current need for a holistic approach in comparative and evolutionary biology and offers numbers applications of the modern methods of phylogenetic systematics and historical ecology, using the North American fish fauna as its case study. This major synthesis, the first published work of its kind, provides a theoretical and methodological foundation for future studies in ichthyology, evolutionary biology, and other fields of comparative biology. Several introductory pieces present major statements of general principles, detailed examinations of the diversity and distributions of North American freshwater fishes, and what is known of their systematic relationships. The rest of the volume's 30 papers then contribute new phylogenetic hypotheses for a significant number of taxa. Along the way, the reader is introduced to the principles, first, of phylogenetic systematics -- the reconstruction of evolutionary or ancestor-descendant relationships of groups of organisms on th ebasis of heritable traits -- and, second, of historical ecology -- a comprehensive research program that links systematics with many areas of comparative biology. Together, the two allow for the formulation of direct and testable hypotheses regarding the evolution of species and their attributes, inter species interactions, and the formation and persistence of biotic communities. Without these methods that incorporate "historical controls," our estimates of history for all areas of biology are inefficient, indirect, and worst of all, untestable. This book focuses on North America freshwater fishes not only because the 42 contributors know them so well but also because this highly diverse fauna is well know in so many important aspects (diversity, species distributions, life histories) relevant to evaluating general applications of the new paradigms of systematics and historical ecology. Many other faunas present interesting biotas appropriate for the preparation of a similar piece of work, but no other fauna can claim as complete a knowledge base. The theme articulated throughout the book underscores the Darwinian proposition of descent with modification. The biological information particular to the North American fresh water fish fauna establishes an invaluable foundation for understanding diversification and advancing education and research. Moreover, the methods, theories, and empirical data presented serve as essential resources for comparative and evolutionary research programs applicable to any biota or taxonomic grouping. The book includes some 200 illustrations, 60 tables, 10 appendixes, and comprehensive taxonomic and subject indexes. Richard L. Mayden is Associate Professor of Biology and Curator of Fishes at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa. COVER ART Pirate perch illustrated by Eugene C.

Materialities of Communication Materialities of Communication $23.98 Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Karl Ludwig Pfeiffer Book
Materialities of Communication Materialities of Communication $23.98 Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, Karl Ludwig Pfeiffer Book Materialities of Communication Edited by Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht and K. Ludwig Pfeiffer The essays in this volume refer to an epistemological borderline, a stage of transition in Western thought. Within the academic field of the humanities, this transition can be described as a movement away from the identification of meaning (i.e., from "interpretation") toward problems concerning the conditions and forms of meaning-constitution. Converging with a leitmotive in early deconstruction, with Foucauldian discourse analysis, and with certain tendencies in cultural studies, such investigations on the constitution of meaning include -- under the concept "materialities of communication" -- any phenomena that contribute to the emergence of meaning without themselves belonging to this sphere: the human body and various media technologies, but also other situations and patterns of thinking that resist or obstruct meaning-constitution. The thrust of this volume is not a search for the reality of the material or the materiality of the real. Instead, the contributors investigates the underlying conditions and constraints of communication, whose technological, material, procedural, and performative potentials have been all too easily swallowed up by long-dominant interpretational habits. Among the authors are some of the most thought-provoking European participants in the ongoing reorientation of the humanities -- Jan Assman, Steven Bann, Wlad Godzich, Friedrich Kittler, Niklas Luhmann, Jean-Francous Lyotard, Francisco Varela, and Paul Zumthor.

POPULATION THEORIES AND THEIR APPLICATION with Special Reference to Japan POPULATION THEORIES AND THEIR APPLICATION with Special Reference to Japan $19.63 E. F. PENROSE Book
POPULATION THEORIES AND THEIR APPLICATION with Special Reference to Japan POPULATION THEORIES AND THEIR APPLICATION with Special Reference to Japan $19.63 E. F. PENROSE Book This study is primarily concerned with theories of population that have a general application, with a considerable range of illustrative material and fairly numerous references to support the theories. It’s impracticable to attempt to apply the theories here developed to all regions of the earth or even of eastern and southeastern Asia in detail in one book, so the study area is concentrated on Japan. Part I, deals with the general principles dealing with the advances in technology in banishing the inevitability of poverty and extreme scarcity that have enabled May to conquer Nature. So much has been written on the Malthusian theory that it was the author’s intention to adopt it here in a most suitable manner for the purpose of this study. If there is not shortage of land and of natural resources in the world as a whole, and if there is an ever increasing supply of inventions and technical improvements, it does not follow that problems of population have ceased to be important. The problem of the distribution of population remains. Hence, the theoretical structure of Part III is based on the fact that a disparity exists, and must always exist, between the distribution of population and the distribution of natural resources. It is this disparity which gives rise to the most important problem of population at the present time… This is a reproduction edition from a scanned copy of the work: Title: Population Theories and Their Application Author: E.F.

Our Desert Neighbors Our Desert Neighbors $17.95 Edmund C. Jaeger Book Our Desert Neighbors is a series of attractive, intimate sketches of the lives of desert animals. It is based on scientific fact and the persona observations of Mr. Jaeger. On the creosote bush plains, along the margins of saline lakes, and on desert mountains with their dwarf trees, he meets spotted skunks, road runners, midget gnatcatchers, desert hares, lyre snakes, and all manner of little-known denizens of the arid wilderness. His sympathetic treatment of them again deservers the comment of the QUARTERLY REVIEW OF BIOLOGY: “The name of Edmund C.

Land of Fair Promise Politics and Reform in Los Angeles Schools, 1885-1941 Land of Fair Promise Politics and Reform in Los Angeles Schools, 1885-1941 $18.88 Judith Rosenberg Raftery Book Land of Fair Promise Politics and Reform in Los Angeles Schools, 1885-1941 Judith Rosenberg Raftery This book uses a case study of education and educational reform in Los Angeles as a lens for viewing a wide range of political and cultural questions involved in urban development in the American West, notable the manner and motives of those who changes school policy. Rapid population growth after 1885 and the recognition that large numbers of school children were either non-white or non-English-speaking compelled Western Progressives to reestablish order and end corrupt schoolboard practices. Drawing on the ideas of Jane Addams and John Dewey, reformers made the Los Angeles school system an instance of apparently effective reform, not only in educational terms, but also administratively and in the broad range of social services provided under school direction -- penny-lunch programs, after-hour playgrounds, day-care centers, adult classes, and home classes for shut-in mothers. But these achievements bore increasingly equivocal results as industrialization, immigration, and urbanization contributed to immense social and economic problems, and reformers intensified programs to Americanize immigrant children. More complicated and divisive progressive politics vied increasingly with professionalization and grassroots pressure from immigrant groups to determine education policy. Many of the leading Los Angeles reformers were women, newly empowered by suffrage, who expanded their campaigns for social change. Also, since women composed most of the teaching force, they began to see themselves as professional educators. But professionalization proved to be a double-edged sword. Better trained than their predecessors, women nevertheless had to fight to hold on to their status as the school system became more efficient, more structured, and more impersonal. Professionalization also led to clashes between professionals; psychologists introduced IQ measurement, and many classroom teachers found mental testing unreliable and sought alternate methods to evaluate the abilities of children. Reformers, educators, and ethnic organizations worked assiduously to modify the social behavior of the now-diverse school population. Despite differences, these groups together built a new social fabric, a patchwork shaped by the unrelenting realities of twentieth-century America. the book is illustrated with 14 photographs.

Wiener Book VALUES IN A UNIVERSE OF CHANCE: SELECTED WRITINGS OF CHARLES S. PEIRCE (1839-1914) Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Philip P. Wiener America's most versatile, most profound, and most original philosopher is represented in every facet of his work in this balanced selection, brilliantly edited by Professor Wiener. The father of pragmatism, one of the most influential of all modern philosophers, Peirce did not himself summarize his thought in successive writings; the gist of his message is scattered throughout his voluminous papers. It is especially valuable to have an incisive' collection of this kind, therefore, to acquaint a large audience with Peirce's great work. This volume reveals why it has been said that Peirce, occupying a pivotal place in modern philosophy, stood philosophy on its feet again, when it had been found upturned among the ruins of Cartesianism. "A great philosopher of the stature and encyclopedic sweep of a Leibniz," Peirce's virtually unmatched knowledge of the sciences gave his scientific philosophy a firm basis; his insights into the nature of scientific inquiry constitute perhaps his greatest contribution to thought. In addition, the present selection shows adequately a side of Peirce usually neglected-his historical, humanistic interests.

Enemies Under His Feet Enemies Under His Feet $20.17 Richard L. Greaves Book
Enemies Under His Feet Enemies Under His Feet $20.17 Richard L. Greaves Book Most historians have hitherto assumed that militant Protestantism was nearly extinct during the Restoration -- that radical opponents of the government of Charles II, apart from a handful of fanatics, were thoroughly demoralized by their defeat at the hands of Royalists and Churchmen, and either shed their radicalism entirely or else turned their zeal inward toward quiteism. The author convincingly shows that this accepted view has greatly underestimated the extent to which organized opposition to the restored Stuart regime was present in the 1660's and 1670's. Much of the material in this book, drawn almost exclusively from rarely used archival material in England, Scotland, and the Netherlands will be new to students of the period. But it was familiar enough to Charles II and his advisers, whose agents uncovered everything from assassination plots to seditious conspiracies and planned rebellions. The author's detailed account shows that radical dissent, far from dying out, simply went underground. The author also looks at the problem of toleration for nonconformists, and shows how this issue was directly related to the activities of radical militants. The book covers radical activity in England, Scotland, and Ireland, was well as in exile communities in the Netherlands and Switzerland, seeking to determine not only what the radicals were doing but what connections existed among them. What emerges is a vivid account of the tangled web of conspiracy, idealism, frustration, resiliency, and ineptitude in the far flung radical community. We also gain insight into the place of that community in the broader world of nonconformity. The government had difficulty understanding this world, but it expended considerable effort to develop and implement policies to deal with the militants. To overlook this fact is to omit a fundamental aspect of Charles II's reign, and thus distort our understanding of it.

The English Traveler to Italy The English Traveler to Italy $39.00 George B. Parks Book
The English Traveler to Italy The English Traveler to Italy $39.00 George B. Parks Book THE ENGLISH TRAVELER TO ITALY The Middle Ages (to 1525) George B Parks originally published in 1954 Although the road to Rome meant a seven week journey on horseback at best, it was probably never so well traveled by Englishmen as in the years from 110 to 1500. In The English Traveler to Italy, Dr. George B. Parks tells the story of the men and women, from the captured king Caractacus to Reginald Cardinal Pole, cousin of Henry VIII, who undertook the arduous journey. Dr. Parks, has chose three broad topics around which to build a continuity for his narrative – the product of fifteen years of research. The work, supported by many fine illustrations, is primarily a study of travel literature – such narratives and descriptions as the treatise on the sights of Rome written by Master Gregorius, selections from the Rome guidebooks for pilgrims, a moving poem and a letter by Alcuin, and a part of the first book published by an Englishman in Rome – Robert Flemmyng’s, Meditations at Tivoli. In order to provide a setting for these documents and to better understand their content, Dr. Parks uses a second topic – the history of travel from England to Italy. The flow of visitors included kings, crusaders, soldier exiles, mercenaries, a pope, archbishops and cardinals, bishops, abbots, and simple priests and friars, students, and a few English merchants. We learn about these varied peoples, the routes they too and the changes in the routes down the years, about the times and seasons, the cost, the hardships and dangers, and about the accommodations. The travel records give rise to Dr. Parks’s third topic, the cultural interchange between the two countries. He discusses the importing into Britain of the Christian religion, then the later interflow of intellectual currents, such as the influence of Bede in Christian learning, the inspiration which Chaucer drew from Dante and Boccaccio, the Renaissance learning which scholars brought back to England.

Report on the International Law of Pacific Coastal Fisheries Report on the International Law of Pacific Coastal Fisheries $12.43 Joseph Walter Bingham Book
Report on the International Law of Pacific Coastal Fisheries Report on the International Law of Pacific Coastal Fisheries $12.43 Joseph Walter Bingham Book This report on the international law of fishery problems has been divided into two parts. It has been our purpose to devote one part-the purely scientific part-to a clear, brief, accurate, and uncolored summary of the technical facts disclosed by research. For that part, which will be published separately later, including no thesis, no propaganda, no opinion on projects for the future, Dr. Stefan Riesenfeld is responsible. To him belongs the credit for the patient, competent work of investigation and compilation. The other part of the report, covered by this publication, is founded on Dr. Riesenfeld's research but is not confined to a statement of facts. It is a commentary on the research, . an interpretation of the facts, and a critical opinion of the possibilities of development of international practice (law) in the interests of justice; peace, and conservation. For this part of the report I am responsible. It does not necessarily express Dr. Riesenfeld's opinions, although I believe that in the main he agrees with me. It is a brief, and as a brief which seeks to influence others and to convert a phalanx of American legal opinion saturated with traditional doctrine, it has been modeled for emphasis. It is not a cold, bare, flat picture of events, but a selective arrangement of essential facts placed in bas relief. I think that I have made no statement of fact that is not accurate, no statement of opinion as to possibilities that should not meet with assent when the facts disclosed by our report are realized and my statement is interpreted correctly. Nevertheless opinions of the well informed as to law and policy may differ from mine, chiefly, I think, because of those fundamental differences in basic philosophic and temperamental motivations which commonly cause important differences of opinion between intelligent men on all matters of politics and government that do not so concern their immediate personal affairs as to prejudice their opinions accordingly.
