Pioneers in Medicine and Their Impact on Tuberculosis tells the stories of six of these individuals: Rene Theophile Hyacinthe Laennec pathology Heinrich Hermann Robert Koch bacteriology Hermann Michael Biggs public health Clemens von Pirquet immunology Wade Hampton Frost epidemiology and Selman Abraham Waksman antibiotics. It examines not only their contributions in their own fields but also their special work in conquering tuberculosis. Presenting their fascinating lives and the seminal work they did in their disciplines the author examines the importance of their discoveries and relates them to the dramatic expansion of medical science during the era in which they lived. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall .

Kilpatrick, William Heard
GROUP EDUCATION FOR A DEMOCRACY
NY: Association Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1940. 1. Hard Cover. Publisher's full green cloth gilt lettering on spine. William Heard Kilpatrick 1871-1965 was an American pedagogue and a pupil a colleague and a successor of John Dewey. Kilpatrick was born in White Plains Georgia. He had an orthodox upbringing and was educated at Mercer University and Johns Hopkins University where he later became a mathematics teacher at High School and at Mercer University. He first met John Dewey in 1898 and again met him in 1907. Kilpatrick decided to make philosophy of education his specialty and occupied all courses by Dewey. From this developed a cooperation which persisted up to Dewey's death in 1952. Both men's ideas directly impacted the 1932 founding of Bennington College in Vermont: they were both on the original College Board of Trustees with Kilpatrick soon becoming President of the Board and two of the original 12 houses on campus are named after them. His first teaching job was at Blakely Institute a combined elementary and secondary public school in southwest Georgia required that he attended a July 1892 summer at Rock College Normal School Athens GA. There he learned of the educational theories of German educator Friedrich Froebel kindergarten founder and learning-through-play advocate. He again studied at Johns Hopkins University summer 1895 then taught seventh grade at and was principal of Anderson Elementary School Savannah GA 1896-97. He was at Mercer University 1897-1906 taught mathematics was vice-president 1900 and acting president 1904-06 but resigned when the trustees were concerned about his doubting the virgin birth. Kilpatrick spent the rest of his professional career and long life at TCCU. He received honorary LL.D. degrees from Mercer University 1926; Columbia University 1929; and Bennington College 1938 which he helped found in 1923 and where he was president of the board of trustees 1931-38; the honorary D.H.L. degree from the College of Jewish Studies 1952; and the Brandeis Award for humanitarian service 1953. After retiring from TCCU 1937 he was president of the New York Urban League 1941-51; chairman of American Youth for World Youth 1946-51; chairman of the Bureau of International Education 1940-51; and on the board of directors of the League for Industrial Democracy. Kilpatrick had several critics but many more admirers and followers. Both heralded and criticized as John Dewey's chief educational interpreter Kilpatrick was a leading advocate of progressive education. He died after a long illness at age 93 on February 13 1965. Former owner's bookplate on ffep otherwise unmarked; spine moderately faded head of spine worn corners lightly bumped. VERY GOOD. . 8vo 8" - 9" tall. 219 pp . Association Press hardcover

MARGARET MATILDA HARDIE, [MRS ROBERT ALEXANDER HARDIE]
1925 ORIGINAL UNCOMMON EAST TO WEST MANUSCRIPT TRAVEL DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A NOTED METHODIST MISSIONARY'S WIFE ON A TRIP BACK HOME TO AMERICA WHERE THE WORK OF CHRISTIAN OUTREACH CONTINUES
SEOUL KOREA TO NEW YORK CITY. Very Good. 1925. On offer is a fascinating original 1925 - 1926 manuscript travel diary handwritten by Ontario Canada born Margaret Matilda Hardie nee Kelley 1863 - 1946 wife of Robert Alexander Hardie also born in Ontario 1865 - 1946 a renowned Southern Methodist medical missionary to Seoul Korea in the early 20th Century. The Hardie's contribution to Korea was noted in the book 'The Role of Robert Alexander Hardie in the Korean Great Revival and the Subsequent Development of Korean Protestant Christianity' by Chil-Sung Kim. Uniquely this travel diary dated December 23 1925 to June 11 1926 concerns the Hardie's 4 month furlough trip back to the USA from Korea via the western route through the Middle East and Europe and then some time in the USA. The wonderment of diaries written by the wives of important men is that the diary is in fact about Robert as much as Margaret. Historians and researchers of Christian outreach in Korea will find this book a dual treasure: an East to West travel diary and six weeks of the Hardie's work in the USA. In fact no sooner do they return than they meet at the Korea Club and after a brief rest Robert heads for Memphis on ministry work. The opening entry begins "We left Seoul on Dec. 23rd. A large crowd was at the station to see us off." The diary goes on to relate the Hardie's voyage to Hiroshima Japan and the train ride to Kobe where they board the SS Macedonia bound for Shanghai China. From there it's on to Singapore the Bay of Bengal Colombo in Ceylon Sri Lanka Aden the coast of Africa and the Red Sea the Suez Canal Port Said Egypt Jerusalem and Bethlehem in the Holy Land present-day Israel Athens Greece Naples Rome Pisa Florence Italy Paris France London England Edinburgh and Glasgow Scotland Belfast and Dublin Ireland and then back to London for the Atlantic Ocean crossing to New York where they arrive on April 28 1926 after a journey of just over four months. The remainder of the diary concerns the Hardies' travels and doings in the USA. The 6.25" x 4" diary book itself is of Japanese manufacture and comes in a slip sleeve.

France: Arlea 2006 En 1826 le gouverneur du Soudan Mouker Bey offre deux girafeaux au pacha d¿Égypte Méhémet-Ali. Quand le consul de France à Alexandrie le Piémontais Bernardino Drovetti apprend la nouvelle il suggère au sultan de les offrir au roi de France pour enrichir le zoo royal du jardin des Plantes. On embarque un des deux animaux sur un brigantin sarde à destination de Marseille en compagnie de trois vaches laitières et de trois palefreniers nubiens censés veiller sur la bête. On a découpé un carré sur le pont du navire afin que Zarafa - c¿est son nom - puisse passer sa tête et son long cou. Son arrivée dans la cité phocéenne constitue un événement dont le Vieux Port garde encore le souvenir. Elle passera l¿hiver et l¿été dans la propriété du préfet. Couverture souple. Très bon.

Binet, Jacques-Louis
Tremois: Peintures gravures sculptures
France: Éditions du Rocher 1991 Ce qui définit l'oeuvre et le caractère de Trémois c'est le trait. Son art direct est cependant complexe. Il paraît si simple que cela devient ambigu. Peintures gravures dessins noir blanc grisailles où comme toujours le trait domine. Trémois maîtrise la technique au point de la faire oublier ; le trait une énigme qui a le pouvoir de créer un humain un animal. La ligne le trait si clairs qu'ils troublent parfois. Le corps est une importante partie de son oeuvre gravé peint ou sculpté. Le corps une passion. Il peut y avoir de la folie dans la laideur il peut aussi y avoir de la folie dans la beauté. Trémois fascine par son érotisme au scalpel. Précision pas de sentiment pas de repentirs une exactitude mathématique. Couverture rigide. Très bon. Éditions du Rocher hardcover
