1994Best.-Nr. 95092Harvard University Press: Cambridge Massachusetts 1994. First edition of Phelps' important contribution to understanding the business cycle. Octavo original cloth. Boldly 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.

1947Best.-Nr. 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.

1941Best.-Nr. 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.

1966Best.-Nr. 12698New York: Atheneum 1966. First Atheneum Edition . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5" x 8. 553 Pages Indexed. The purpose of this book is to explain the manner in which the strategy of modern war has developed in the conviction that a knowledge of the best military thought will enable readers to comprehend the causes of war and the fundamental principles which govern its conduct. The editors believe that eternal vigilance in such matters is the price of liberty and if there is to be a durable peace there must be a clear understanding of the role which armed force plays in international society. In chapter 2 is shown that the greatest military historians of our time have felt a need to apologize for their interest in military problems because dislike for war and ignorance concerning its role in human affairs have led peaceful peoples everywhere to deprecate its significance in history and ignore its portentous meaning for our future. For it is not force in itself which is wrong but the purposes to which force is sometimes put. As Pascal said almost three centuries ago we must realize that: Justice without force is impotent. Force without justice tyrannical. The American nation is the foremost military power of modern times. The manner in which we use this great power is momentous for ourselves and for the world. Contents in Five parts: The Origins of Modern War From the 16th Century to the 18th Century The Classics of the 19th Century Interpreters of Napoleon Form the 19th Century to the First World War From the First to the Second World War and Sea and Air War.
