"This is the book of knowledge acquired through research carried on since three-quarters of a century in the neighboring countries bordering the Black Sea." (From the Preface by Ekrem Barlas). "This manuscript gives for the first time, a general summary of the marine and freshwater fishes in the Black Sea Basin. In the last century, a series of documents on the fauna of the Aral-Pontic, Caspian Basin has been published by K. Kessler and other authors. But, Since then, several investigations on the fauna of fishes of the Black Sea Basin made by individuals and expeditions revealed the existence of entirely different conditions. Therefore some deceased species have been described. Furthermore, as a result of the migration of the Mediterranean fauna into the Black Sea, the lists have become richer with the addition of many species which were unknown earlier. This book consists of two sections: 1. Special section which deals with the study of the composition of the fish fauna, and its systematic and biological characteristics. 2. The section consists of a summary of the historical study of the Black Sea fauna, its genesis, and a short hydrological and geological history of the sea. In the special section, 237 species and subspecies have been described. These belong to 20 groups, 56 families, and 122 genera. This section also includes the emigrants of the Mediterranean, remnants of Pontic fossils, and freshwater forms." (From the Slastenenko's foreword).

Jay, the son of the first Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme court, was a noted attorney and staunch abolitionist. He "castigated the federal government's complicity in the crime of slavery. by contrasting actual federal involvement in slavery with the constitutionally required minimal involvement. He also contrasted the gratuitous complicity with slavery with a vision of what the national government might permissibly do against slavery. Most of Jay 's positions on congressional or executive power were well within the mainstream of legal thought of the day." **PRICE JUST REDUCED! JUN2C/W148 Rear

1963ref. 221701963. Civil Rights African American Slavery and Abolition A complete set of the Adventures in Negro History educational LP series created to promote Black history and culture during the Civil Rights era through dramatized narration and scholarly commentary. Adventures in Negro History: Volumes I-III. Highlight Radio Productions 1963 1966 1969. Three original 12-inch 33⅓ rpm vinyl LPs each record housed in original illustrated jacket. Commissioned by Pepsi-Cola and produced by the Chicago-based Highlight Radio Productions this project brought together historians actors and community leaders in an accessible audio-driven public history format. Each volume explores a distinct theme in African American experience with powerful graphic covers and scholarly liner notes by eminent historians John Hope Franklin and Elsie M. Lewis. 1 Volume I: Adventures in Negro History 1963. Illustrated in stark black and white the cover features a stylized portrait of a bound enslaved man visually evoking the violent conditions of enslavement and the struggle for freedom. The back cover provides capsule biographies of pivotal figures including Estevanico Crispus Attucks and W.E.B. Du Bois as well as dramatizations of "Douglass!" and "Pinchback!" The LP includes dramatized reenactments written and directed by Ossie Davis and is voiced by Ruby Dee Godfrey Cambridge Brock Peters and Roy Glenn. The liner text opens: "We cannot afford to let the story of Negro Americans-who they were how they lived what they did-go untold. This is a job that needs doing in all the classrooms of America." The tone is urgent and pedagogical designed to be played in schools libraries and community centers. 2 Volume II: The Frederick Douglass Years 1817-1895 1966.With a bold blue cover echoing the design of Volume I this LP focuses entirely on Douglass's life from enslavement to abolitionist leader. A full panel on the reverse contains the essay What the Douglass Years Mean to America by John Hope Franklin then Professor of American History at the University of Chicago. Franklin writes: "The Frederick Douglass story is the story of America in the nineteenth century. it is the story of man's struggle for justice and liberty in a society often committed more to self-interest than to high principle." The dramatizations include scenes from Douglass's escape from slavery his debates with white abolitionists and his role during Reconstruction. The same acclaimed voice cast from Volume I returns. 3 Volume III: The Afro-American's Quest for Education - A Black Odyssey 1969.This volume shifts focus to the historical struggle for Black educational access from slavery through desegregation. The cover rendered in burnt sienna and black features a graphic portrait of a bearded elder flanked by line drawings of teachers students and historic Black institutions. On the verso Dr. Elsie M. Lewis Professor of History at Howard University contributes a major essay declaring: "No phase of the American Negro's history is more crucial more dramatic or more moving than his long dogged quest for education." Her commentary frames education as both a right and revolutionary act for African Americans. Like earlier entries Volume III blends narrative scenes with documentary-style commentary. All three LPs are in very good condition with minor edge wear to sleeves. Vinyl appears clean with no visible scratches. These records were not mass-marketed and were distributed largely through educational and community networks making complete sets scarce. unknown
