Title in English translates to "Through Sacred Lands and Through Profane Lands Impressions of a Guatemalan on His Journey Around the World During the Years 1922 to 1924." A travel narrative by a Guatemalan-American published in Los Angeles. The author Jose Moises Deleon Letona arrived in California in 1925 lived in Los Angeles and worked as an accountant according to his 1927 naturalization document. He was a member of the Science League of America the American Insurance Union and the Hispanic-American Alliance. The first three chapters cover Letona's journey from Guatemala to New Orleans his travels through the American northeast a visit to Niagara Falls and his border crossing into Canada. The rest of the book covers his travels throughout Europe to the Holy Land and to Egypt. Throughout Letona provides his impressions of the societies he visits listing statistics describing social norms and family structures and providing comparisons to his native Guatemala. A chapter towards the end is dedicated to comparisons of the various countries he visited. Letona wrote for a Central American audience in order to expose his countrymen to the wider world and inspire within them dreams of travel. Letona writes in his introduction that "If all my countrymen who leave their native land and return to their homes put their own impressions on the pages of a book.it would not only give the sensation of things outside but would also be a stimulus to induce the Central American to be less shy and seek in the lives of other peoples means that adapt to his own life." He adds in his conclusion that "One of the objectives of this book is to awaken in you the idea of traveling. You the parents who have resources send your sons and daughters to study to work abroad." The book is infused with patriotic sentiment for Guatemala and includes a poetic ode to the country as well as a color plate depicting the national bird the Quetzal. Soiling to covers wear to edges and spine ends toning to pages. Vincent Printing Co hardcover

Biographical Sketches of Notable Physicians and Surgeons of the Presents. - New York Berlin Publishing Company ca.1910 Photogravure 305 x 205 auf 390 x 290 mm 4 p. curriculum vitae. Moses Allen Starr 1854-1932 'Professor of Neurology in the College pf Physician and Surgeons at Columbia University New York City' "had plans for a career in classical culture when he graduated from Princeton and embarked for Germany to study Greek and Roman history. In Berlin however several visits to Helmholtz's laboratory revived a latent interest in natural science. He returned to his native New York graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons P&S Columbia University did a residency at Bellevue Hospital then returned to Europe to work at Heidelberg Vienna and Paris. On return to New York he set up a laboratory in his home and in 1884 published an essay on the sensory tracts of the central nervous system elucidating some of the then-current questions of myelination. Starr's regard as an American pioneer in the field of cerebral localization stemmed from his participation in a symposium on that subject with the famous English neurologist David Ferrier and neurosurgeon Victor Horsley who were delegates to the 1888 Congress of American Physicians and Surgeons in Washington D.C. He became professor of nervous diseases at the Montreal Neurological Institute. During neurosurgical operations they electrically stimulated the surface of the exposed unanesthetized brains of patients who were talking. On-going speech was blocked by excitation of the parietal-temporal area the inferior frontal area and the supplemental motor area of the left hemisphere Penfield & Roberts 1959. Those experimental protocols were a continuation of Penfield's long quest to add to the knowledge of body representations on the neocortex." H.W. Magoun & L. Marshall; American Neuroscience in the Twentieth Century 2005 pp.383-384 unknown
