New York:
Oxford University Press 1990.: Series: Monographs on the History and Philosophy of Biology. 8vo. x 2 242 pp. Index. Black gilt-stamped cloth. Bookplate. Near fine. ISBN: 0195053613 "Eugenics is the branch of biology concerned with the improvement of hereditary qualities in humans. It draws scientists into direct contact with social and political policy makers. Yet eugenic movements which have been mainly implemented by politicians often differ significantly from the original aims of the scientists. The four contributors to this volume examine the eugenic movements in Germany France Brazil and the Soviet Union. The scientific components of those programmes are considered alongside the social religious and political forces which significantly altered the original scientific goals. The book opens up new and comparative perspectives on the history of eugenics and the social aspects of science in general." – Publisher. Contents: Introduction: Eugenics in the history of science-- Sheila Faith Weiss: The race hygiene movement in Germany 1900-1940-- William H. Schneider: The eugenics movement in France 1890-1940-- Nancy Leys Stepan: Eugenics in Brazil 1917-1940-- Mark B.

RUSSIA IN EUROPE
Ports de Commerce de la Russie Européenne.
St- Petersburg: R. Golicke & A. Willborg for the Ministère du Commerce et de l'industrie 1908. Havens for Tsarist maritime commerce First and only edition. Officially sanctioned painstaking survey of the Russian ports of Europe recorded at the height of their influence. Rare WorldCat locates a single copy in the University of Genoa. Altogether sixty-five ports are described in great detail accompanied by photographs plans and engineer's sections for aspects of their construction. This sort of close scrutiny would very soon be confined behind a wall of Soviet state secrecy. The report covers the White Sea Black Sea Baltic Sea and Sea of Azov; more than a half of the ports analyzed are now located outside of Russia in the Baltic states Ukraine and Georgia. This volume was never intended for general distribution but rather was passed through official channels a presentation of the ports as a manifestation of the of Russian Empire's influence on European maritime commerce. Finely produced the presswork was carried out by R. Golicke & A. Willborg a house known for its involvement in Russian livres d'artiste and other fine editions the binding was commissioned from the workshop of M. Uleman small gilt on white ticket to the front pastedown. Two pre-Revolutionary ink stamps to the title page one repeated on the front cover. Crossed out on the title is of that of the Imperial Library of the Central Statistical Committee of Ministry of Internal Affairs the repeated stamp is for "Professor Emeritus of the St Petersburg Institute of Communication Routes Vsevolod Evgenievich Timonov". Timonov 1862-1936 was a hydraulic engineer hydrologist and transportation engineer typical of the intended constituency for the volume. From 1886 to 1895 he served in the Ministry of Railways working on the Commission for the Construction of Commercial Ports. During this time Timonov supervised the first work on the construction of stone block breakwaters for ports on the Baltic 1887 organized and implemented the initial marine dredging works there 1889 explored the mouths of the Dnieper Don and Volga rivers 1890 selecting the branches for development drew up a project for improving the rapids on the Dnieper carrying out exploratory work on one section 1894 explored the shores of the Pacific Ocean to assist in the selection Vladivostok as the location for the Pacific port terminal of the Siberian railway and explored the rivers of the Amur region developing measures to increase navigability 1895.

RUSSIA
Escape maps of Stalingrad and Stepnoy.
London: Ordnance Survey 1952. Later editions marked "restricted" revised from those produced by the War Office in 1919 and 1916 with isogonals correct to 1953. These maps were issued in the early years of the Cold War only a decade after the region was ravaged in the Battle of Stalingrad. Stepnoy now Elista was renamed only five years after this map's publication. In the early years of the Cold War the CIA attempted to gather information on the Soviet Union through aerial spying missions flown with the co-operation of the British government. "The RAF formed a top-secret reconnaissance outfit in the spring of 1951. Churchill approved the RAF overflight program knowing that if one of the planes came down on Russian territory Labour MPs in an embarrassed and angered House of Commons undoubtedly would force a vote of confidence to bring down his government. But he balanced that possibility against the desperate need for radar pictures of Soviet military targets that would held SAC and RAF bombers in the event of war" Burrows pp. 131-33. In 1952 John Crampton flew a high-speed high-altitude test run over the Berlin corridor which Bomber Command followed with three simultaneous sorties reaching as far as Moscow itself. After a ten-hour mission that triggered the Soviet air defences "All three planes made it back to Sculthorpe with their radar imagery and without a scratch" Burrows p. 134 angering the Kremlin and prompting a review of the nation's air warning systems. The map of Stalingrad is the fourth edition and the map of Stepnoy is the fifth. Single sheet of cloth 605 x 554 mm colour maps with key on each side pale border on Stalingrad side lettered in red blue and black. Map bright sometime folded and creased edges a little frayed: a very good copy. William Burrows By Any Means Necessary: America's secret air war in the Cold War 2001. hardcover

[PETROVICH, Paul I (Tsar of Russia)].
Risunki sobstvennym voiskam pokoinago Imperatora Pavle I. Drawings of his own Army by the Late Emperor Paul I when His Highness was Grand Duke.
St. Petersburg Lithographic Department of the Military Settlement 1835. . First edition small folio 31 x 22 cm; lithographic title and 10 unnumbered coloured by contemporary hand title soiled at foot where mark of ownership erased bottom corners of leaves with very light staining pl. 7 with printed Russian caption and early manuscript German translation; contemporary green Russian morocco upper cover lettered in gilt both covers with elaborate panelling in gilt and blind flat spine in gilt panels gilt turn-ins blue endpapers gilt edges extremities rubbed tiny split in joint at head of spine a fine copy.<br /> Remarkably fine series of hand-coloured prints of military costumes after Paul I in an exceptional contemporary Russian binding. The book was printed at the personal bequest of his son Tsar Nicholas I in an incredibly small edition. The short reign of Paul I ended with his murder in 1801 and was marked by his obsession with dress uniforms. All ten of the figures in this rare suite are drawn in the same posture at attention with arms firmly clasped to sides and though this gives them a slightly doll-like quality they are painstakingly and beautifully coloured by a contemporary hand. Nicholas I viewed his father with deep reverence and also admired the pomp and order of the Imperial army this publication was an attempt to honour his father's legacy.<br /> [St. Petersburg], Lithographic Department of the Military Settlement, 1835. unknown
