Binding tight and square pages clean bright and unmarked. 2009 Trade Paperback. 127 1 pp. Black-and-white photographs throughout. While Hudson was first settled around 1872 the community's namesake Isaac Washington Hudson Sr.'s family did not permanently move there until 1878. By 1884 the new town of Hudson had been platted and the community's first post office and school were built. In its infancy the community grew fast and residents relied upon the lands and Gulf waters for their livelihood. With the fast-growing community came the establishment of numerous sponging and fishing businesses in addition to farms. The banks of the big Hudson Spring were becoming the center of commerce and there the resident businessmen constructed their docks fish houses mercantile stores hotels and more. Today with a development on every corner and vacant lands becoming extinct it is extremely hard to imagine those times. Little of this past remains and in its place the bulldozers are paving Hudson with progress. Arcadia Publishing paperback books

réf. 95138Very Good. Black and white photo. 11 x 17 cm. Pencilled note "Houston post" on back which is stamped twice in red "Do Not Bend" and "1249." Corners round but that seems to be a later amateur trim. White's inscription and signature have a bit of smudging and some of the blue ink ahas migrated to White's white jacket. A This image sometimes including lower portions of the couple and a wider background but without White's inscription shows up online where we found the photo identified as having been taken by Rangaswamy Satakopan an AP photographer in India. It appears to have been taken of the couple in New Delhi India on July 24 1949 only 18 days after they married in New York City. Perhaps they were on their honeymoon. Cannon had been married three times before she became White's second wife. The marriage was controversial since Walter White a light complected African American was head of the NAACP and Cannon was a white woman who had been born in South Africa. unknown books

Very Good with darkened spine lettering worn tips diagonal crease to ffep lacking dust jacket. Quite rare signed. The author was an American physiologist who riginated the concept of homeostasis. This particular work introduced the world to the "fight or flight response." According to an article on him in BrainImmune an online neuroendocrine immunology review "He asserted that not only physical emergencies such as blood loss from trauma but also psychological emergencies such as antagonistic encounters between members of the same species evoke release of adrenaline into the bloodstream. To Cannon the body"s responses to 'fight' are the same as those to 'flight.' Adrenaline exerts several important effects in different body organs all of which from Cannon"s point of view maintain homeostasis in fight-or-flight situations. In the skeletal muscle of the limbs adrenaline relaxes blood vessels increasing local blood flow." Garrison Morton 1200. D. Appleton and Company unknown books
