1823. ROLLIN Charles. ANCIENT HISTORY OF THE EGYPTIANS CARTHAGINIANS ASSYRIANS BABYLONIANS MEDES AND PERSIANS MACEDONIANS AND GRECIANS. Translated from the French. In Two Volumes. Vol. I & II. A New and Improved Edition from the London edition of 1819 with a translation of such notes and quotations as are not rendered in the text and the reduction of the various denominations of coins weights and measures to those of the United States. Illustrated with engravings of Egyptian antiquities &c. And a complete set of ancient geography. Boston: Printed and Published by Samuel Walker Harlem PLace No. 29 Newbury Street. 1823. Engraved title-page in each volume; illustrated with 16 engraved plates and 7 engraved maps some are folded. Two quarto volumes: 614li624 pp.; 212630 pp. Nineteenth century full calf black labels and gilt decoration at spine marbled endpapers. In v. 2 two ink ownerships on the the verso of the engraved title have been crossed through and one has been excised from the title-page leaving a hole near the title. Almost all plates show light to moderate foxing; a few plates have marginal tears or dampstaining; one plate is torn with loss. The maps are generally clean; one map is detached. The paper quality is very good overall despite some sections which have browned and are foxed. In v. 1 two leaves E2 & 3B are torn and missing text and the final free endpaper is missing. The bindings are very edgeworn and scuffed with joints starting. Volume 1 shows loss at heel and crown. A serviceable set but offered with all faults. Of interest but not pertaining to the historical subject is a misogynous poem "The Bachelor's Soliloquy" which is laid-down in v. 1. Written by the Bard of Tower Hall and meant to be a droll advertisement for Bennet's Tower Hall Clothing Bazaar it has several stanzas about the dangers of choosing a bride due to the vanity and cupidity of women and the general expense of keeping one. It is followed by a note also in verse from the bard proclaiming fond love for "ladies fair" but ends with the following couplets: Then ladies and gents if you'll regard / The facts I have been naming / We shall have no need of Lucy Stones / On woman's rights declaiming. unknown books

L'aude 2005 160 pages 14 5cmx22cmx2cm. 2005. Broché. 160 pages. L'individu n'est pas une idée nouvelle mais dans notre civilisation des individus fortement associée aux métropoles il devient le centre du monde. Tel est l'argument de cet essai où Alain Bourdin nous montre que cet individu des métropoles répond à une offre plus qu'il ne se soumet à un ordre - comme dans les sociétés d'hier. Aujourd'hui chacun vit dans un monde où il doit sans cesse choisir se différencier changer de place (matériellement ou virtuellement) créer des significations nouvelles. Aussi dans cette civilisation-là réussir exige des compétences toujours plus diverses et importantes. Et il ne suffit pas d'apprendre il faut sans cesse innover et prendre des risques. Monde faste à certains pas uniquement aux plus riches mais où beaucoup d'entre nous se perdent et connaissent la précarité la frustration ou l'incompréhension. D'où l'insécurité et l'obsession du risque. Cette civilisation des individus produit des formes urbaines une organisation sociale et des modalités d'action totalement nouvelles. Les métropoles s'affirment alors comme le c?ur de cette culture de l'offre. Ce livre en présente la nouvelle donne en propose une théorie et ouvre des pistes à l'action. Un essai savant et novateur
