1970ref. 44079New York: Outerbridge & Dienstfrey / Ballantine 1970. First Edition. First printing. Small quarto 21cm x 23cm; gray paper-covered boards hardcover; dustjacket; 157pp unpaginated; illus. Fine in the original printed mylar dustwrapper which shows some light rubbing and surface scratches still Very Good or better and rarely seen. Somewhat uncommon cloth edition of this experimental pastiche of Carpenter's aphoristic writings and Heyman's documentary photographs. Heyman b. 1930 is perhaps best known as Margaret Mead's long-time collaborator and co-author with her of the books Family and World Enough. Carpenter was a pioneer in the field of visual anthropology and a frequent collaborator with Marshall McLuhan to whose work the current volume clearly owes a debt. An easy book to find in softcover but the cloth edition is elusive especially in the absurdly fragile mylar dustwrapper. Outerbridge & Dienstfrey / Ballantine unknown books

1860ref. 50276London 1860. London 30 June 1860. Bifolium. 4pp. 180 x 111 mm. A few pin-holes but fine otherwise. From English physiologist and naturalist William B. Carpenter who "helped shape the modern life sciences in Britain Oxford DNB through both his writings and his work as a teacher and administrator at what is now the University of London. Carpenter performed valuable researches in marine zoology and was directly influential in persuading the British Admiralty to sponsor the Challenger expedition the first major scientific study of the deep oceans. Carpenter is also recognized as one of the founders of the modern theory of the adaptive unconscious-he observed that the human perceptual system and the mechanism of human thought operates almost completely outside of conscious awareness. Carpenter's correspondent was the police magistrate and author John Paget. "I cannot let Mrs. Carpenter be the only one to express our hearty appreciation of the kind feeling on the part of Mrs. Paget and yourself by which the beautiful gift which we had the pleasure of receiving from you yesterday has been prompted as well as our admiration of the combined elegance and utility of the gift itself. Since its arrival Mrs. Carpenter has for the first time informed me that she had been taken into your counsels in the matter; and I am very glad that without any intention of her own your gift should have taken a form that so appropriately made her a participator in it. For her interest in Guy and her constant solicitude for his welfare have been as I need scarcely tell you in no degree inferior to my own. It gives us both great pleasure to have so substantial an expression of the satisfaction felt by Mrs. Paget and yourself in what we have endeavoured to do for him; and we trust with her that the influences and associations of early years may be pleasantly and usefully kept up on both sides by the continued friendship of our boys as they advance in life. With kindest wishes for the welfare and happiness of Mrs. Paget yourself and your family believe me Dear Mr. Paget always yours most sincerely William B. Carpenter." . unknown books
