1931réf. 112417Garden City NY: Doubleday Doran & Company Inc 1931. First edition of Emmett Dalton's autobiography. Octavo original cloth with smoking gun vignette to the front panel pictorial endpapers frontispiece portrait of Emmett Dalton after a photograph taken in 1892. Signed by the author on the half-title page "Sincerely yours Emmett Dalton." Near fine in the rare original dust jacket with light rubbing. The Dalton brothers led one of the last gangs of horseback outlaws. Ironically three of them - Bob Grant and Emmett - started their careers as deputy marshals. They soon decided that more money could be made from horse rustling and in 1888 they organized a band that carried on a thriving trade. When they came under suspicion toward the end of 1890 the brothers went to California where on February 6 1891 at the small station of Aila they held up a Los Angeles-bound passenger train. The robbery failed when the baggage clerk excaped and the Daltons were unable to break into the safe. Grat was captured and sentenced to twenty years in prison but escaped from the train carrying him to Folsom. The gang resumed operations in Oklahoma where during the next two years they robbed three trains before turning to the more lucrative trade of bank robbery. Modeling their plans on the James brothers the Daltons struck the two banks at Coffeyville Kansas on October 5 1892 hoping as Bob said "to beat anything Jesse James ever did - rob two banks at once in broad daylight." However the identical fate that befell the James gang at Northfield Minnesota awaited the Daltons. Confronted with a large crowd of armed townsfolk the gang attempted to shoot its way to safety; in the battle Bob Gat and two other gang members were killed and Emmett was severely wounded and captured. It is the basis for the 1940 film directed by George Marshall and starring Randolph Scott Kay Francis and Brian Donlevy. Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc hardcover books
1958réf. 38022New York: John Wiley & Sons 1958. First edition of this classic in management science. Octavo original cloth. From the library of Nobel Prize-winning economist John Harsanyi with his signature on the front free endpaper . 'Outside the Carnegie group we should like to acknowledge especially our many hours of fruitful work and discussion with Robert A. Dahl on the subject of influence measurement and the help and guidance that John C. Harsanyi provided for our treatment of the relation between game theory and other theories of conflict' p. vi. 'Simon was attracted to the exciting intellectual environment emerging at the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh. After moving to Carnegie in 1949 Simon stayed there for more than five decades. At Carnegie Simon collaborated on work that established the field of organization theory. The founding work was a major study done with James G. March published as Organizations. The book continued the argument that decision makers are not able to act in an objectively rational manner; rather they are constrained by both cognitive and external limitations. So instead of assuming that each decision maker scans all possible alternatives and chooses the one that maximizes expected utility Simon argued that decision makers instead use 'satisficing' as a criterion for making decisions; they choose the first alternative that looks 'good enough.' March and Simon wrote in Organizations 'Most human decision making whether individual or organizational is concerned with the discovery and selection of satisfactory alternatives; only in exceptional cases is it concerned with the discovery and selection of optimal alternatives.' . . . One of Simon's insights was that the observed complexity of human behavior arose from simple and general underlying mechanisms that were applied to a complex task environment. Simon illustrated this with his famous metaphor of 'the ant on the beach.' The ant's goal is to reach some distant food. While the ant's path to the food seems very complex twisting and turning most of the apparent complexity is due to the grains of sand to be traversed. The complexity of the environment rather than the complexity of mechanism within the decision maker gives rise to the observed behavior. 'In solving problems' March and Simon wrote 'human thinking is governed by programs that organize myriads of simple information processes - or symbolic manipulating processes if you like - into orderly complex sequences that are responsive to and adaptive to the task environment and the clues that are extracted from that environment as the sequences unfold' ' Mie Augier & Edward Feigenbaum 'Herbert A.

1947réf. 38032New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company 1947. First edition later printing. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To: Julian Lovitt Here's hoping you improve your game. Golfingly Jim Dante 4/24/48." Light rubbing near fine in a very good dust jacket with some chips and tears. Uncommon signed. Two golfers and a sports editor combine to tell the duffer what is wrong with his game and how to go about correcting it. The ""nine bad shots"" are slicing hooking topping smothering pulling pushing skying sclaffing and shanking. Starting with an introductory section on grip and stance and swing- illustrated with right and wrong photographs those authorities- in surprisingly simple terms- explain how a few basic principles properly applied will prevent and correct tendencies to do any or all of the bad shots. The last section covers iron play putting getting out of the rough and traps handling uneven lies -- again with photographs that illustrate the points they are making.

1994réf. 95092Harvard University Press: Cambridge Massachusetts 1994. First edition of Phelps' important contribution to understanding the business cycle. Octavo original cloth. Signed by Edmund Phelps on the title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Gwen Frankfeldt. Dissatisfied by the explanations of the business cycle provided by Keynsian monetarist New-Keynsian and real business cycle schools Edmund S. Phelps developed a radically different theory to account for the long periods of unemployment that have occurred in both the United States and Western Europe since the early 1970s. Through the construction of three stylized general equilibrium models Phelps explains in the present volume how the natural rate is disturbed by real demand and supply shocks and the adjustments they set in motion.

1941réf. 95094New York: Reynal Hitchcock Inc 1941. First limited edition of French adventurer Gontran de Poncins' classic account of his solo unsupported journey in the Canadian Arctic. Octavo bound in three quarters morocco over cloth covered boards with gilt titles and tooling to the spine. One on only 550 copies this is number 81. Boldly signed by the author on the front free endpaper "Before I disappear for good!.I remain your friend 'Eskimo Miki' de Poncins." With the original Publisher's Note laid in which explains "The Vicomte Gontran de Poncins author of KABLOONA called out of the Arctic to join the colors of his country disappeared in the debacle of the French Republic following the fall of Paris. It has therefore been impossible to obtain his signature for this limited edition." Poncins did in fact survive and this is one of the scarce copies that he signed. Written in collaboration with Lewis Galantiere Gontran de Poncins' Kabloona recounts the French aristocrat's solo unsupported journey in the Canadian Arctic where he lived with the Inuit for nearly 15 months between 1938 and 1939. Bored with the business world curiosity drew de Poncins to exotic areas throughout the world; his unique technique in relaying his observations of the cultures he discovered was not scientific but provided stylized personal points of view and descriptions. Initially describing the Inuit way of life as primitive and inferior de Poncins soon experienced a deep spiritual awakening after undergoing weeks of hardship in the Arctic and became so well-adapted to the lifestyle he was essentially adopted by the Inuit.

1968réf. 73791Pasadena California: California Institute of Technology 1968. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Emil Herzog's set with his ink signature to the front flyleaf in the first volume. A pioneering work based on extensive research conducted at Caltech and Palomar Observatory. While the delineation of the clusters on the 48-inch Palomar Schmidt plates was Zwicky's work all the measurements of the tens of thousands of individual galaxies were Herzog's: photographing each field with the 18-inch Palomar Schmidt measuring coordinates and preparing finding charts. In addition he determined the apparent magnitudes of the brighter galaxies by schraffier guided plates and a flyspanker. For the fainter objects where the schraffier images were too washed out to be manageable he found that his nearsightedness made schraffier images unnecessary. His familiarity with the 48-inch Schmidt plates led him to be one of the first to be aware of the character of the large-scale distribution of galaxies. Later the Swiss-born Herzog 1917-98 taught astronomy at the University of Southern California and mathematics at Cal Poly Pomona serving as department chair from 1974 to 1980. Quarto six volumes. Original blue buckram bindings with gilt titles. Mild fading to the spines with a small spot to the front board of the first volume; otherwise a very good set.
