1970réf. 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

réf. 16340Mary Carpenter. The Life and Work of Mary Carpenter. Book with Autograph Letter Signed of Mary Carpenter Pasted in 1879 Carpenter J. Estlin M.A.--The Life and Work of Mary Carpenter First Edition 1879. Bound in green leather with marbled boards. 495 pages. Carpenter was one of the foremost public speakers of her time and is best remembered for the huge contribution she made to educational and penal reform. She opened "ragged schools" to give an education to the children of the poor and introduced reformatories which took a caring and constructive stance for young offenders. Mary Carpenter also campaigned for better education for women and reforms to prisons. Following a meeting with Frederick Douglass Mary Carpenter became fervenlyt opposed of the slave trade particularly the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. She travelled extensively in America Europe and India where she also sought reforms similar to those she pursued in Britain. She was a pioneer in the field of equality for women and stood almost alone as a female orator who was widely listened to and respected. Not all criticism was favourable however; both her books and her work were condemned by Pope Pius IX. unknown books
