Consumer's Guide to a Brave New World BIOTECHNOLOGY EUGENICS ETHICS

2004rif. 21195San Francisco California U.S.A.: Encounter Books. New. Hardcover. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - 219 pages -- Interior text is clean tight and unmarked. From the publisher's description of the book: "Cloning researchers claim to have cloned an embryo that is mostly human but also part animal. Biotech companies brag about manufacturing human embryos as 'products' for use in medical treatments. Echoing long discredited master-race thinking James Watson who won a Nobel Prize for co-discovering the DNA double helix claims that genetically enhanced people will someday 'dominate the world.' Events are moving so fast--and biotechnology seems so complicated--that many of us worry that we can't have an informed opinion about these issues that are remaking the human future before our very eyes. But now Wesley J. Smith provides us with a guide to the brave new world that is no longer a figment of our imagination but right around the corner of our lives. Smith starts with the basic questions. What are stem cells What is the difference between embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells and which is most promising for medical therapy What does embryonic stem cell research involve and why is it so controversial What is its relationship to human cloning .In addition to explaining the science of stem cells this highly readable and carefully researched book reports on the gargantuan "Big Biotech" industry and its supporters in the universities and in the science and bioethics establishments. Smith shows how this lobby works and how the lure of huge riches mixed with the ideology of 'scientism' threatens to impose a 'new eugenics' on society that would dismantle ethical norms and call into question the uniqueness and importance of all human life. 'A Consumer's Guide to Brave New World' presents a clear-eyed vision of two potential futures. In one we will use biotechnology as a powerful tool to treat disease and improve the quality of our lives. But in another darker scenario we will be steered onto the anti-human path Aldous Huxley and other prophetic writers first warned against fifty years ago when science fiction had not yet become science fact." -- with a bonus offer--; TOS006624; Smith Wesley J.

Exploration of the Colorado River of the West and Its Tributaries. Explored in 1869 1870 1871 and 1872 Under the Direction of the Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution

1875rif. 71484Washington D.C.: Government Printing Office 1875. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good . 291pp. Quarto 29.5 cm Dark green cloth over boards. With map has a couple of minor fold splits and profile in an envelope at the rear. Both in near pristine condition. Light scratching and scuffing to the monograph's boards. Multiple small faint spots on backstrip. Darkening to p. 180 and the plate opposite. Text block cracked at p. 185 but book remains very sturdy. Complete. In better than very good condition. Powell's 1869 exploration was the first documented expedition to successfully navigate the perilous rapids of the Colorado River through the uncharted Grand Canyon. The expedition set off in 1869 with ten men and four boats under the direction of one-armed American explorer and Civil War veteran John Wesley Powell 1834-1902. After three months and nearly 1000 miles only five of the original party emerged from the depths of the canyon. Their historic journey mapped the last wild untamed river of the American West and named the last unknown regions of American geography. The Henry Mountains and the Dirty Devil River were until the Powell expedition the last nameless mountain range and river in the continental U.S. Carl Wheat writes in "Mapping the Transmississippi West 1850-1861" "As a narrative of adventure this book of 1875 is one of the most justly celebrated documents in the literature of exploration." In recognition of Powell's contributions to American exploration geology and ethnology he was appointed the first director of the U.S. Bureau of Ethnology of the Smithsonian Institution. He also served as director of the U.S. Geological Survey from 1881 to 1894. Powell Plateau a butte in Grand Canyon National Park is named after him as is Lake Powell. Howes P525. Farquhar 42a.

1912 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A YOUNG UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT STUDENT STRIKE BREAKER AND 'SCAB' WORKING FOR THE ELEVATED STREET RAILROAD DURING A BITTER LABOR STRIKE

1912rif. 0008211BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS. Good. 1912. On offer is a small original diary of a young man in the early years of the 20th Century. Measuring 4.75 inches by 3 inches it contains 365 pages. It is approximately 33% complete. The cover binding and pages are all in good condition. The handwriting is legible. EDITOR'S NOTE: While there is nothing in this diary to identify the author the item came from an archive related to Wesley Abell who graduated from the University of Vermont was inducted into their Football Hall of Fame and after graduating built a career in the municipal service of Burlington VT eventually becoming City Clerk. In 1912 he is a young man living with relatives and working in Boston MA in 1912. He has secured work as a driver/conductor for the Boston Elevated Street Railway. This is not his long term future goal for in September of 1912 he leaves home to attend the University of Vermont. The entries are fairly straightforward: "Jan 1 '12 finds me working for the Boston Elevated Street Railroad Co. I am staying with Uncle .wn in morning and done my a/ 521 .45 530 .30 Total .75 Excused until 4 o'clock b/ done a 531 .45 & 525 .30 Total .75 c met cars from 6 o'c til 7 o'c Total for day $1.80" Jan 1 1912; "For my A.M. this morn I had 2 534 .60. Was then excused until 4 o'c when I went and done a half for 4 th consisting of 504 and 520 Pay for the day - $1.75" Feb 24 1912; "Today I had a swing beginning at 8:27. Done four trips and then layed off til 6:07. Earl Sunderl was over to see me. Total $2.30 Paid." Mar 3 1913; "After April 5th there are no entries until June. On June 7th it apears that he is running a union picket line - with expected consequences! This morn I went down to run a trip at 5 o'c. On starting out on trip I was met by a bunch of strikers who threw eggs at me. Worked all day mid yells of scab and all sorts of other names. The strikers tried their best to get me to leave my car but I stuck it out". June 7 1912; This entry is significant because it refers to the Boston Elevated Street Railway strike of 1912. This was a serious labour dispute over the organizing of a union there and the demand for better wages. The strike began on June 7th and soon spiraled into violence. Court crack downs were draconian and the strike seemed poised to spread to other cities. The major turning point in the strike however came as a result of charges filed with the State Board of Conciliation and Arbitration. The Board released a report which upheld the Union's charges and placed the blame for the strike on the Management. The Board found that the Management had discharged employees solely for their Union activities had brought in strike breakers such as our author and convicted felons who were employed as strong-arm men and had coerced employees against joining the Union. After the Board's report The Governor and the Mayor of Boston became actively involved in settling the strike. The Mayor of Boston in 1912 was John F. Fitzgerald affectionately referred to as "Honey Fitz". Fitzgerald was the maternal grandfather of President John F. Kennedy and Senator Edward M. Kennedy and great grandfather of Congressman Joe Kennedy. In September he is off to university: "This morn I packed my trunks and papa carried me to St. A to take train for college. Earle A and F Stevens went down with me. Met lots of nice fellows in B and spent time with Hayden and Wesley Sturgis at Converse Hall". Sept 24. This diary offers an interesting look into one of the urban transport companies from the point of view of an ordinary worker. For a social historian it provides a flavour and a sense of what work was like in industrialized Boston at the turn of the last century. It also touches on a very key time in labour organizing in the United States. ; Manuscript; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF; 20TH CENTURY; 1910S; PROGRESSIVE ERA; UNITED STATES; BOSTON; MASSACHUSETTS; VERMONT; BOSTON ELEVATED STREET RAILROAD; UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT; CONVERSE HALL; JOHN F.

Archive of Diaries Original Writing Original Manuscript Comics Scripts Letters and Ephemera from Actor Wesley Lau 1921-1984

rif. 2493Archive of Diaries Original Writing Original Manuscript Comics Scripts Letters and Ephemera from Actor Wesley Lau 1921-1984 Archive fits into one banker box. Material primarily dates from Wesley Lau's high school years through college and military service into his early career as actor and screenwriter. Most of the material especially the four diaries and original comics are in very good to fine condition. The small collection of letters and screenplays overall are in good condition with some soiling and overall wear. Ephemeral material from high school report cards certificates etc. in fair to good condition. Other ephemera in generally good condition. Tremendous archive of film and television star Wesley Lau from his high school years to early into his film and television career. Anyone who watched television or went to the movies in the 1960's through mid 1970's would recognize Lau for his hundreds of roles. He was probably most recognized for his role as Lt. Andy Anderson in the TV series Perry Mason where he appeared in 81 episodes of the show from 1961 to 1965. One on-line source credits Lau with 91 different television roles often with multiple episodes of each show including Alfred Hitchcock Presents Gunsmoke Bonanza Peter Gunn Twilight Zone Mission Impossible Mod Squad Cannon and Six Million Dollar Man. Lau often was cast as a 'tough guy' or villain. His movie credits include I Want to Live! The Alamo The Venetian Affair The Ride to Hangman's Tree Panic in the City Journey to Shiloh The Sweet Ride Airport Green Berets Crosscurrent/The Cable Car Murders Call to Danger Skyjacked Incident on a Dark Street Homebodies and Cry Panic. Lau often remarked that he really wanted to be a writer/screenwriter. He is credited with writing scripts for episodes of Perry Mason Ironside Mannix Barnaby Jones Quincy M.E. and Magnum P.I. yet never found steady work in screenwriting relying on his acting skills for his livelihood. Wesley Lau was born and raised in Sheboygan Wisconsin where he went to high school graduating from Central High in 1939. High school and college diploma included in archive. Lau was Vice-president of his student body senior year and active in football basketball and acting. The archive includes Lau's personal diaries for 1938 thru September 21 1941 when he leaves for college at Madison Wisconsin "here endeth my diary-writing I am not taking it along to Madison; perhaps I'll never write in a diary again." In reading the diaries I am struck by what a prolific reader Lau was probably a book a day usually noting what he was reading and the fact he saw multiple movies weekly again noting titles. There is no question that Wesley Lau in his youth was a fanatical reader and movie buff; we do not recall reading that he watched much television however. Lau had a cadre of friends he hung out with but by 1938 we find him spending a lot of time with "Elouise". Many movies walks making out and telephone calls. Still Lau reads prolifically and begins to mention writing short stories and perhaps working on a novel. "This morning I write and rewrite a few of my stories. Geez I wish I could get a real good idea some time and write something of note. I guess I'll just have to keep on writing and maybe someday." Acting also begins to take more of his time with rehearsals and performances. As early as January 1939 Lau writes "A girl in Psychology told me I looked and acted like Gary Cooper. Gee a lot of people have told me that. Don't let it go to your head though Bud." In 1941 he is offered a role "with all the work I have to do I am undecided.but I finally can't resist--I take a part.it's just in my blood I guess!!" Wesley Lau studied playwriting at the University of Wisconsin received a Master of Arts degree at Yale Drama School and continued his acting studies in New York at the Actor Studio. Lau served in the United States Army Air Forces in World War II 1943-1945; the archive includes his Honorable Discharge papers where it notes he received the Victory Medal a European Africa Middle Eastern Theater Ribbon 4 Overseas Bars 1 Service Stripe and a Good Conduct Medal. In reviewing Wesley Lau's course records from University of Wisconsin he recorded A's and B's in English Speech and Comparative Literature but received a D and F in Zoology. In two semesters of Philosophy he received a C and D. Another fascinating subset in the archive are hundreds of manuscript comic strips and single panel comics/study sketches. Many of them are signed and a few are dated 1937. We find no reference in the diaries although we did not read them completely of this hobby but it certainly received a lot of his time and attention. Many of the sketches are on receipts/paper from several Sheboygan businesses. Thematically many of the sketches portray a heroic chiseled man ala Dick Tracy. Lau does mention reading the Sunday paper weekly. One strip is titled "Thunder Storme--Soldier of Fortune" while another is a 27-page story titled "Captain Stormy--Soldier of Fortune". There are four scripts in which Lau acted in the collection: "Harder at Woleai" for the television series "Silent Service" 1958; 1959 The Brothers Brannagan's "Murder Fits the Frame" 1970 script for Aaron Spelling's "The Most Deadly Game" and an undated play titled "House Guests". Given Wesley Lau's wish to be a writer it might not be a surprise to find samples of his writing including 7 longer form pieces and many shorter items or conceptual script ideas. We find no record that any of these pieces were published except for a play he wrote for a writing contest was produced in 1947. So Far from God--A Screenplay. 75 page typed original manuscript. Plus second original typescript copy of 57 pages. Peking Man Murders--Script Possibilities Concept Thoughts 2 copies one original 8pp. I Love You Zea" tentative title A Thriller. Original typescript with manuscript changes 58pp plus 41 pages of handwritten material attached to the typescript. Typescript copy of "To the First Distant Shore--A Narrative Account of the War with Tripoli 1801-1805 317 pp. in brad binder. An untitled original typescript copy of a Three-Act Play written Feb. 1947 23pp. Original typescript one-act play titled "Incident". Written and re-written Nov-Dec. 1946. Produced in the Union Play Circle April 23 and 24. Lau won the Wisconsin Players' play-writing contest. This is the director's copy with comments plus playwright's notes on audience reaction. Collection of bound short stories titled "First Short Stories and Poetry" dated 1937. The short stories are dark and macabre--a style unlike what I would expect of Lau from reading his diaries. And I must say the stories are not very good; nor are the poems. Collection also includes script ideas for Mission Impossible The Fifth Man and a signed plot for possible movie of the week titled "The House Sitter". Also includes short stories titled "Hex Town" and "The Hexer". There are also numerous snippets scraps and untitled stories. We get a glimpse of Lau's early fame from his work in the 1957-1958 TV series Hotel Cosmopolitan with 8 fan letters all women complimenting Lau and asking for stills. One letter was from his cousin Wilma so maybe that does not count. Miss Carol Bages writes "I think you are a very handsome and wonderful actor. I would appreciate it very much if you would send me your picture." Finally the archive contains three letters from two of Lau's wives including a letter from Lau's first wife 1957 telling Wesley that she is getting divorced again. "I have always said and repeat that you were a perfect gentleman until the very end and I wouldn't compare this husband to you in that respect." The two letters from Lau's second wife from 1962 and are fairly mundane news filled affairs. All in all a fascinating insight into the formative years of one of Hollywood's most prolific character actors from the late 1950's through the mid-70's. We find no record that Wesley Lau's papers are held in any institution. Extra shipping cost due to size of archive. unknown

A coherent sammelband of pamphlets concerning Wesleyan methodism including an early edition - printed in the same year as the first - of Anglican clergyman and founder of Methodism John Wesley's 1703-1791 vehement condemnation of America; an unacknowledged abridgement of Samuel Johnson's Taxation No Tyranny London 1775. The 1770s were turbulent years in the American colonies which were edging towards independence from Britain. John Wesley ventured squarely into American politics with publishing his A calm address to our American colonies. The booklet reversed his position of a year earlier on British oppression of the colonies and brought him down on the side of the British government and clergy arguing for the legitimacy of taxing the Americans. The pamphlet went through many editions immediately and over 100000 copies circulated within a year. Not surprisingly Wesley was vilified in America. It has been argued that the fact that America closed its ports to English ships - and books - on 20th July 1775 may have saved the cause of Methodism in America. The copies of the pamphlet which had entered already were largely destroyed and no further copies found their way into the country until after the conflict. . Printed by R.

Two Letters of Bassa Cove Physician Educator and Colonial Administrator Dr. Wesley Johnson Documenting Early Liberian Colonization Anti-Slave Trade Efforts Tropical Disease Agricultural Reform and Educational Institution Building in Liberia 1839-1842: "O that I was worth a million. I would make a great jam in Liberia.

1842rif. List3738Ship Saluda Bound for Monrovia 1842. Two autograph letters signed approximately seven manuscript pages total. 1839 letter measuring 8 x 12 ¾ inches foxed with small tears at folds very good; 1842 letter measuring 8 x 10 inches tears at folds with larger tear to top right some text missing very good minus. Overall very good. A pair of letters documenting the work of Dr. Wesley Johnson 1813-1844 physician educator and colonial official associated with Bassa Cove during Liberia's formative decades. Written three years apart the letters preserve Johnson's involvement in medicine colonial administration anti-slave trade efforts agricultural reform and the establishment of one of Liberia's earliest advanced educational institutions. Born in Hillsdale New York Johnson studied medicine at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia under Dr. Jacob Green receiving his degree in 1837 before departing almost immediately for West Africa.1 He entered service at Bassa Cove a settlement approximately seventy miles south of Monrovia supported jointly by the New York and Pennsylvania Colonization Societies. Established as part of the larger Liberian colonization project Bassa Cove existed under difficult conditions: high mortality limited resources dependence upon outside support and periodic violence associated both with local conflict and the wider Atlantic slave trade. Johnson's responsibilities expanded rapidly after his arrival. He worked closely with Governor Thomas Buchanan and within a year had served in command of local militia forces and assumed administrative authority at Bassa Cove. Following conflict involving Theodore Canot a trader in enslaved people and violence affecting nearby settlements Johnson was reportedly injured; he shifted increasingly toward educational work becoming central to the establishment of the Ladies Liberia High School at Factory Island an ambitious project intended to educate future leadership within the colony. The earlier letter written aboard the ship Saluda on October 2 1839 finds Johnson struggling with declining health; a "bilious attack" that "was succeeded by an enlargement of the spleen" and he travelled along the coast towards Sierra Leone and Cape Mount "for my health." Even while discussing illness however Johnson remained focused on institutional work and future responsibilities: "When I return to Bassa I shall take charge of a high school about to be established there and carried on by the Ladies of Philad'a." That brief reference points toward one of the more ambitious educational efforts connected to early Liberia. Organized in Philadelphia in 1832 the Ladies' Liberia School Association sought to support educational development in Liberia through funding schools teachers and educational infrastructure.2 By the late 1830s the organization had developed a broad network of support and had undertaken plans for a secondary school at Factory Island near Bassa Cove. Johnson would become central to its implementation. He writes: "As long as I have serviceable health it is doubtless my duty to remain here for why should new persons come here continually at the risk of their lives & unacquainted with the colony or country. It seems hardly credible that I have been here more than two years already. "10th. I have been today drawing a plan of the buildings for the high school on Factory Island but this evening the vessel rolls and I cannot make straight marks & will go on with my letter. My health is better & better. I drink wine occasionally & we have five courses at dinner. I stopped at Monrovia several days as we came along and found high life at the Govt. house. When we get back to Bassa a school will give my employment & as my agency for the Col. Soc. will be exchanged for that of the Ladies Soc. of Phil. for African Education. Of this change I am glad. It will relieve me of care trouble and vexation and business which I have no means of accomplishing to my mind. "The Colony was never more prospered. Gov. Buchanan drives hard at the Slavers and they cannot stand it. You will see by the . something of what has been going on here. O that I was worth a million. I would make a great jam in Liberia. As it is I take it extempore make the best moves that I can for the time." Three years later writing from Factory Island on July 14 1842 Johnson reports that the educational institution envisioned in the earlier letter had become reality. He writes: "We have at length taken possession of this place so long under the dominion of his Satanic Majesty and have commenced the Ladies Liberia High School. Multitudes have been doomed from our door-yard to chains & death and it is consoling to think that we are affording to a few the means of making life and liberty blessings. We have a noble stone building not however finished inside and it is sufficient in every department for boarding and teaching forty or fifty scholars within its walls. Also a farm of fifteen acres partly under cultivation which will supply the school with provisions. Although at present the colonists are suffering a season of scarcity we go on comfortably. My health has been excellent since my return paper loss indeed it received an important improvement immediately after my arrival. My objects are to get the School thoroughly established an improved system of agriculture in operation and some other person properly introduced to my place & then to return to America. I should not add the last item so readily at present not knowing what circumstances may indicate of my duty but I made a general promise to my friends to return in two years. We are introducing the improved and labor saving plans and means of farming which are from five to ten times as efficient as those in common use here and as novel to the colonists as theirs would be in the good state of New York. We are in want of funds for these purposes all having been exhausted which were appropriated to them by the Ladies and I am obliged to furnish means from my own funds. We have a kind of manual labour system - the pupils work from 6 to 8 & from 4 to 6 & study from 9 to 12 2 to 4 & 7 to 8. My mode of teaching is much improved on what it was in Cin. by invention reflection & teaching others to teach and no other employment is so agreeable to me. I am father mother preceptor & religious teacher to my scholars & universal agent & factotum to the School and would to Heaven that I were better prepared for the work and could show an influential example of the power of living holiness." The physical cost of such work proved severe. Tropical illness permanently damaged Johnson's health. By the time of the present letters he was already recording prolonged illness and enlargement of the spleen. He ultimately returned to Hillsdale in 1844 and died shortly afterward at only thirty-one years old. Contemporary memorials praised both his educational work and personal sacrifice describing Liberia as having lost "a devoted friend and martyr." Taken together the letters preserve the work of an unusually capable participant operating at multiple levels of early Liberian development-physician educator administrator agricultural reformer and institution builder-while documenting educational work colonial administration medicine anti-slave trade activity and daily life through firsthand observation during Liberia's formative decades.
