Noth- und Hülfs-Tafel zur Verhütung der Rindviehpest oder Viehseuche

1798réf. 00341CATTLE PLAGUE BROADSIDE BY DR. FAUST --- 1 broadsheet 463 x 363 mm --- One of at least a dozen broadside editions of the prolific German physician's advice on treating the devastating cattle plague. We find others published at Stuttgart 1797; Bückeburg 1797; Leipzig 1797; Dresden 1799; Bamberg 1801; Leipzig 1813; a 1797 edition without place of production; undated editions at Karlsruhe and Gotha; an 1800 French version Strasbourg and another undated French edition. We suspect the content derives from the author's much more extensive Über die Rindvieh-PestStuttgart 1797. His advice was also issued in pamphlet form on which subject our broadside has a terse promotional note at end: "I have also written a book on rinderpest. Read it!" No doubt selling advice from any Dr. Faust required extra effort though he was admittedly quite respected and widely known for his Catechism of Health. At bottom are prices for the broadside both individually and in wholesale quantities of 100 and 600. ¶ There was good reason to produce and post these broadsides widely. "Cattle plague or rinderpest the highly infectious and most lethal of bovine diseases described as the most dreaded above all of animal contagions had repeatedly ravaged Europe since time immemorial" Spinage. Europe was hit especially hard in the 18th and 19th centuries where Germany alone lost an estimated 28 million cattle between 1711 and 1865. Beyond the tragic loss of life livelihoods were destroyed and economies distressed. ¶ Faust here provides a list of symptoms both external and internal; remarks on the fatality of the disease indicating that 25 million German cattle had been killed since 1711 the year of a notorious Italian epidemic; sundry facts and characteristics of the scourge "It's present in every season in all weather and in every country"; details on its transmission; comments on the uselessness of certificates of health and the dangers of the cattle trade; and preventative measures and treatment these accounting for roughly half of the broadside's content with discrete sections on actions to take based on when the disease arrived "If the plague has arrived within 30 or fewer hours there is danger!" plus advice should an infected animal be found in your community "Killing the first sick animal is the best and surest means of putting an end to rinderpest". We expect anyone literate charged with caring for cattle might have kept a broadside like this handy and communities at risk certainly would have benefited from sharing the information publicly. The vast geographic spread of their production betrayed the importance of reaching every corner of the country. Lemgo for example was hardly a great metropolis yet our printer thought it reasonable to offer this broadside in quantities of 600. ¶ We locate no other copies of this Lemgo edition. --- CONDITION: Printed on the recto only of a full sheet of laid paper. Hinged into a hinged matte. ¶ Brittle at the edges with some creases and chips; creased across both dimensions with a pinhole at the intersection and some toning along the horizontal crease. --- REFERENCES: C.A.

A cio contribui anche la creazione dell'officina ceroplastica che produceva fedeli quanto spettacolari modelli anatomici umani in cera. Nel 1780 fu anche portata a termine l'edificazione del torrino con l'osservatorio astronomico ulteriore passo verso il compimento dell'idea di riunire in un'unica sede tutte le discipline scientifiche.

Moral Questions in the Classroom: How to Get Kids to Think Deeply About Real Life and Their Schoolwork

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request – – IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - BRAND NEW FLAWLESS COPY NEVER OPENED - 304 pages -- DESCRIPTION: Motivated by a suspicion that schools fail to teach what "matters" Simon director of research at the Coalition of Essential Schools in California spent months observing literature history and biology classes at a public a Catholic and a Jewish high school. What "matters" to Simon is the integration of moral and existential inquiry into the classroom; she argues that not only are moral and existential questions at the heart of the major disciplines they are also extremely compelling to students. But too much of what goes on in schools she contends is "the forming of uninformed opinions" and "decontextualized fact acquisition." Although she shows how even good teachers sometimes deflect or shut down important discussions Simon places the blame squarely on the education system that works "against teachers being able to incorporate discussions of substantive issues into their classrooms." As in many recent books the villain is the standardized test and the stakes for both students and teachers attached to it. Simon writes fluently integrating transcripts of classroom discussions smoothly into her narrative and engagingly conveying her idealist's passion for reform. To reconsider education's entire enterprise is a very tall order however and Simon acknowledges the enormous obstacles her project faces. Readers will agree that students shouldn't continue to feel disengaged in school because they're denied the chance to ask and answer essential questions but they may be skeptical of Simon's starry-eyed recipe for change. - Publishers Weekly -- with a bonus offer--; 520-simkg; Simon Katherine G.
