Rodgers William Ledyard; Vice Admiral U. S. Navy Retired.
Greek and Roman Naval Warfare: A Study of Strategy Tactics and Ship Design from Salamis 480 B.C. to Actium 31 B.C.
Annapolis Maryland: Naval Institute Press 1964. Octavo navy blue cloth hardcover red spine label gilt letters & illus. to upper cover xv 555 pp. Near-Fine in a Very Good dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges and sticker residue to upper cover. From dust jacket: Originally published in 1937 this classic study of naval strategy tactics and ship design from the Greco-Persian Wars to the Campaign of Actium continues to be acknowledged as the best work on the subject to be written. With its companion volume Naval Warfare under Oars it offers a comprehensive examination of the principles of early naval warfare principles that have remained valid through the centuries despite dramatic technological advances in weaponry and ship design. Although much of the control of battle has now moved from the admiral on the bridge to the computers in the combat information center the basic rationale for the existence of a naval force -- to control what happens at sea -- has not changed since the Venetians and Spaniards first engaged their enemies on the water. And a thorough understanding of strategic principles as presented here is as vital today as ever. The author Admiral William L. Rodgers spent years preparing this classic work. In addition to comprehensive descriptions of individual campaigns and battle plans he offers a useful analysis of the political and economic conditions that led belligerent nations to war. His skillful reconstruction of the designs of ancient ships for which no records have survived makes a significant contribution to historical record. Naval Institute Press, (1964). hardcover books

Adams Robert; Adams Marina; Willens Alan; Willens Ann.
Dry Land: Man and Plants.
New York: St. Martin’s Press 1979. First Edition Review Copy. Quarto blue leatherette hardcover gilt letters vii 152 pp. Good with soiling to page edges neat former-owner stamps former-owners published review pasted to rear endpaper in a Near-Fine dust jacket. From jacket: Over a quarter of the world’s surface is arid or semi-arid and there are fears that this total may increase sharply as the result of climatic change and growing pressures from an expanding and hungry world population. Urgent needs have led man himself to contribute alarmingly to the continuous depletion of the stock of usable lands through unconsidered exploitation: fertile areas are degrading rapidly and marginal ones are turning into deserts. This timely book shows how the threats to such fragile territories can be arrested controlled and reversed through the careful management of dry-land ecosystems. It examines the characteristics of arid and semi-arid environments throughout the world and describes the kinds of vegetation they are able to support. Drawing thier lessons from nature the authors show how indiginous vegetation can be used to create developments which are self-sustaining in the long run based on an apporach that works with nature rather than against it. They set out in great detail the techniques that are involved from the preliminary survey of climate topography soils and water through the analysis of the existing ecosystem to the planning of developments with plants and regimes of irrigation plant propagation and management of soil water vegeation and human settlements.

Minor toning and dust soiling. A striking set of two panoramic photographs that comprise official portraits of African-American Naval Company 771 at the Great Lakes U.S. Naval Training Station at the end of World War II. The training center on the shore of Lake Michigan just south of Waukegan Illinois was the principal site for the training of naval recruits during World War II and the only location for Black recruits who were trained from 1942 through the end of the war at a segregated base within the larger facility called Camp Robert Smalls. The earlier of the two portraits dated July 24 1945 is a traditional group shot with the 127 men of the company kneeling and standing on bleachers. The second larger of the two images dated August 10 1945 calls the group the "Last Negro Company of Great Lakes Ill. Winners of All Competitive Flags" and shows the men standing in formation at attention in front of a training vessel. A fine pair of images. books

Rees Mina The Navy Mathematical Computing Advisory Panel
A Symposium on Commercially Available General-Purpose Electronic Digital Computers of Moderate Price
Washington DC: U.S. Department of Commerce Office of Technical Services 1952. First Edition. Near Fine. Near Fine copy in original orange paper wraps with spine lighly sunned. Internally about Fine. Quarto measuring 7.75 x 10 inches and collating 2 41 pages: complete. Rare surviving copy of the first survey of electronic digital computers in the U.S. organized by pioneering mathematician Mina Rees. The only first edition on the market this is a title that has never before sold at auction and is listed by OCLC at only 10 institutions.<br/><br/>In her introduction to the survey Rees notes that "Until recently all commercially available general-purpose digital computers were large and cost many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Within the past year however a number of manufacturers have smaller more compact usually slower automatic computers for sale at less than one hundred thousand dollars." Because this change opened the door to a wider variety of businesses and firms accessing computers Rees points to the symposium as being timely and necessary. In this space and this historic moment scientists mathematicians manufacturers and government agencies could consider how to continue improving and reducing cost on the machines; and they could consider their wide applicability across fields. Rees herself a luminary who became the first woman president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science is featured in this survey among other notables including Albert Auerbach and Richard E Sprague. The papers include work the MINIAC the Elecom and the Circle Computer. These were the first of their kind as was the symposium itself. Complete with over 20 black and white photos charts and diagrams it is an important and rare piece documenting computers' shift into the necessary and ubiquitous technology they are today.<br/><br/>Origins of Cyberspace 853.

Though these ceremonial hazings could be brutal the one here portrayed seems rather tame with most participants seen smiling and initiates confined to activities like scrubbing the deck.

Hutchinson of London 1959. Octavo black cloth hardcover gilt letters xxii 224 pp. Very Good with edgewear; in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket. From duat jacket: Japan’s aerial suicide offensive unique in the annals of warfare was launched in desperation. For the first time men were asked to go into battle with death as an objective without even that comfort they have always had in any battle no matter how bloody that vestigal hope “It won’t be me -- I’ll be all right.†That the pilots of this failing Empire responded with patriotic devotion is attested by the thousands of names inscribed at the Yasukuni Shrine. What sort of men were they who could with equanimity face the awful finality of an order prescribing voluntary death on a specific day What manner of life prepared them for such a death The tactical or strategic results of the Kamikaze concept are of little importance when weighed against the moral implications of suicide under orders; and the question must be -- even in time of national crisis are such demands defensible The authors present the facts and so far as possible the convictions which lay behind them. For the rest you must draw your own conclusions. hardcover books
