‎New York: McClure Phillips & Co 1904. First edition of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's ground breaking work and what she considered "her greatest work" New York Times. Octavo original cloth. Association copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To a friend of mine and of progress Alva Adams with good will of the author Charlotte Perkins Gilman 1905." The recipient Alva Adams served three terms as Governor of Colorado where he made significant progress for the labor movement and human rights by establishing the Bureau of Labor Statistics which forbade child labor and passing a bill that ended public executions in Colorado. In very good condition. An exceptional association copy. Human Work represents the first ground breaking analysis on the equal importance of work in the lives of men and women. Noted feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman maintains the notion that it was "sexuo-economic oppression of women" and not women's biology that kept women from achieving in all areas of work. Accusing men of appropriating certain work as "men's work" and masking the process as a biological locus rather than an exercise in power relations Gilman asserts that men created an economic dependence that has prevented women from success in the workplace.

‎Dating Shakespeare's plays : a critical review of the evidence‎

Flat uncreased spine. NOT a library discard. NOT a remainder. NO owner's name or bookplate. Pages are clean and unmarked. NO underlining. NO highlighting. NO margin notes. Illustrated with title page facsimilies. Bound in the original green pictorial wraps. From Goodreads: "This critical review challenges the orthodox scholarly consensus about the order in which Shakespeare composed his plays and when they were written. It reveals surprising discrepancies in date comparisons. King John has been placed by scholars in every year of the decade up to 1598 and there are suggestions that Hamlet's date of 1602 could be as early as 1589. In this authoritative work evidence is reviewed methodically to produce a range of dates supported by in-depth analysis of aids to dating such as language historical allusion the testimony of title pages as well as works by other authors including Palladis Tamia and the Stationers' Register. In considering Oxfordian dates the intention is not to prove the Earl of Oxford authorship but the possibility of a range of earlier dates for each of the 36 plays in the First Folio and four other plays which have been attributed to Shakespeare. Kevin Gilvary gained a BA and MA from the University of Southampton and is currently a research student at Brunel University. He has taught in Canada and South America as well as Hampshire."

In 1930 He Succeeded Hobhouse To The Martin White Professorship Of Sociology At The London School Of Economics. His Sociology Written In 1934 Was Described By The Guardian In Their Obituary As "Probably The Best Introduction To The Subject Ever Written". Some Of The Major Themes Of His Work Were Concerned With: 1. The Social Responsibility Of Sociologists Which He Saw As Part Of The More General Problem Of The Ethics Of Knowledge.

He Criticised The Traditional View Widely Propagated From Aristotle Through Hume To Bertrand Russell That The Main Functions Of Reason In Human Affairs Lie In The Clarification Systematisation And Control Of Impulse And Feeling And The Discovery Of Means To Their Fulfilment. He Contended That Reason And Feeling Should Not Be Held To Be In Opposition Or Reason As The Slave Of The Passions But That Reason Could Play A Significant Role In Motivating Action And Directing Feeling And Conation. 3. He Was Inevitably Also Concerned With The Nature Of Justice And Its Relationship To Equality And The Associated Question Of Law As An Increasingly Important Agent Of Social Change And Reform. 4.

‎Dialogo della vigilia et del sonno del magnifico signore Ugoni gentilhuomo Bresciano Ensemble Ragionamento Ensemble Discorso della dignita & eccellenza della gran citta di Venetia‎

‎In Venetia Venice Venise Venice: Apresso Pietro da Fine 1562. Fine. Apresso Pietro da Fine In Venetia Venice • Venise Venice 1562 10 x 14.50 cm relié First edition rare of these three editions functioning as 3 distinct parts of a single work the signature of the gatherings indeed links the parts together; it happens however that one finds certain texts in isolation. 3 title pages with the printer's device of the cockerel. Early 20th century full vellum binding. Smooth spine with title in pen in red and black. Stains and soiling. Good copy very fresh. The philosophical dialogue of waking and sleep bears witness to a relatively pessimistic and skeptical vision typical of the Reformed vision. Ugoni was indeed Protestant and his perception of man and the world are unquestionably its reflection. The impossibility of distinguishing between the waking state and that of sleep reflects the indetermination of our knowledge necessarily destined for illusion man wandering in a world of shadows. The dialogue reprimands man for having been too audacious in trying to understand what has been forbidden by God; man would waste his time trying to uncover what is by definition beyond his understanding and his reach. God allows man to understand what is necessary for the preservation of his body and his soul the rest belongs to God. However man must not therefore abandon himself to his senses quite to the contrary is it imperative for him to cultivate the qualities of his mind in accordance with God's designs God having given man the gift of reason. The weakness of human knowledge is constantly repeated in the dialogue as is the existence of a metaphysics. The author was condemned for heresy by the tribunal of Venice in 1565 and it is thought that his nobility spared him a death sentence. The discourse on Venice would be an attempt to soften too severe a judgment. Bookplate Eug. D. Forgues. Parisiis. 1921. Apresso Pietro da Fine hardcover‎
