1926ref. 10275Los Angeles California: Vincent Printing Co 1926. 9 x 6" purple leatherette binding with grey lettering and illustration 250 2 pp one color plate many photo illustrations within text. 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.

S. n. s. l. 17 octobre 1940 17.50 x 25.50 cm une feuille Autograph letter signed by Moïse Kisling addressed from his exile in Lisbon to Carlo Rim 30 lines in black ink deeply imbued with melancholic memories of his Provence which he cruelly misses: ""Ta lettre du 5. m'a donné envie de la sentir pour découvrir un peu d'ail pour sentir le mistral et toute la couleur du pays. Elle m'a apporté un peu d'arôme du pays."" ""Your letter of the 5th. made me want to smell it to discover a bit of garlic to feel the mistral and all the color of the country. It brought me a little aroma of the country."" Moïse Kisling questions his friend about fishing : "". elle ne doit pas être bonne en ce moment - nous allons vers novembre. Mais quelque fois la mer est bonne à cette époque. Parle-moi du poisson - quelle sacrée différence de ceux d'ici ! ah ! merde alors ! "" "". it must not be good right now - we're heading towards November. But sometimes the sea is good at this time. Tell me about the fish - what a damn difference from those here! ah! damn it then!"" and appears unenthusiastic about the idea of going to the United States to exhibit his works even further removed from his beloved Provence: ""Quand je serai dans le pays de dollars et j'en gagnerai sûrement je te commanderai des longues chroniques sur beaucoup de pages. Tu seras obligé de me raconter tous les potins du pays et tu prendra comme collaboratrice Alice."" ""When I am in the land of dollars and I will surely earn some I will commission from you long chronicles on many pages. You will be obliged to tell me all the gossip of the country and you will take Alice as collaborator."" The painter confesses to a certain melancholy linked to his retreat: "". toi aussi tu me manque vieux - du coup je deviens sentimentale. Tu sais Ici c'est la solitude complète et il faut se mettre à table pour écrire aux êtres que j'ai la bas pour s'oublier un peu. C'est pourquoi des lettres de gars comme toi quand je les reçois me font oublier pas mal de choses."" "". I miss you too old friend - so I'm becoming sentimental. You know Here it's complete solitude and one must sit at the table to write to the people I have back there to forget oneself a little. That's why letters from guys like you when I receive them make me forget quite a few things."" Folds inherent to posting. Carlo Rim was a Provençal writer author notably of ""Ma belle Marseille"" a caricaturist a filmmaker: ""Justin de Marseille"" ""L'armoire volante"" ""La maison Bonnadieu"" and was notably the friend of Fernandel Raimu and Marcel Pagnol but also of Max Jacob and André Salmon whom he met in Sanary.

Rare First Edition! "A treatise on the blood or general arrangement of many important facts relative to the vital fluid. With some cursory observations on the theory of animal heat. Interspersed with pathological and physiological remarks from the inductions of modern chemistry. By Hugh Moises surgeon of the Western Regiment of Middlesex Militia and Late Senior Pupil to the General Hospital Nottingham." "With the general acceptance of the Lavoisier-Crawford theory of animal heat as a resultant of respiration or slow combustion much of the subsequent search for the site of body heat production revolved about two questions. What happens to the inspired oxygen Or alternately where in the body was the carbonic acid first formed A subsidiary and often perplexing question asked at what temperatures the products of combustion carbonic acid and water actually could be formed The last question is of particular interest because the heats of combustion of carbon and hydrogen were utilized in the early nineteenth century attempts to establish the respiration theory of animal heat. Séguin citing Priestley and Bertholet had argued that these combustions could occur at ordinary body temperature. Hugh Moises in his Treatise on the Blod 1794 was equally emphatic : We know of no experiment which might authorize us to suppose that carbon can unite with oxygene in a temperature of 97°-99° or that hydrogene and oxygene air combine and form water in so low a temperature." "The early studies of this limited problem suggested solutions based on the ability of the different gases to cause the color changes observed in blood. Both Girtanner and Hassenfratz had attempted to show that venous blood became bright red upon the absorption of oxygen and thereby demonstrated their contention that the blood took up oxygen in the lungs. Another line of experimentation attempted to recover gases from the blood. Hugh Moises for instance confined arterial blood in bottles with gases containing no oxygen and claimed to find oxygen in the residue."

"The localization of brain functions has been raised from the level of an hypothesis to that of a definitely ascertained fact within the past ten years. Meynert was the first to discard the doctrine of Flourens that the brain acted as a whole and on anatomical grounds declared that different portions possessed different powers. The study of aphasia led French observers independently to the same result. Fritsch and Hitzig in Germany and Ferrier in England arrived at a similar conclusion soon after by means of their well-known physiological experiments upon animals and the results reached by them have been confirmed in a most striking manner by Munk Dalton and others. But while anatomical study demonstrating a connection between various organs of the body and definite regions of the surface of the brain may furnish grounds for a priori reasoning as to the function of those regions; and while physiological experiments upon animals may afford valuable suggestions as to the probable effect of limited brain disease in man an accurate determination of the question of localization can only be reached by a study of clinical cases. The appreciation of this fact has led Charcot Ferrier Nothnagel Exner Wernicke and others to collect the cases on record in which a limited area of disease whose position was determined by a careful autopsy had given rise to definite symptoms. From the comparison and classification of these eases certain general conclusions have been reached and it is now possible to refer many symptoms occurring in the course of brain disease to a destruction of a definite area of the surface." Starr 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.

1956ref. 124814New York: Harper & Brothers 1956. First edition of this work by the legendary Robert Moses. Octavo original cloth. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To Janet Hooper Ostahn the daughter of an old and valued friend from Robert Moses." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Foreword by Herbert Bayard Swope. Books signed by Moses are uncommon. Robert Moses was a public official who worked mainly in the New York metropolitan area. Known as the "master builder" of mid-20th century New York City Long Island Rockland County and Westchester County he is sometimes compared to Baron Haussmann of Second Empire Paris and was one of the most polarizing figures in the history of United States urban development. His decisions favoring highways over public transit helped create the modern suburbs of Long Island. Although he was not a trained civil engineera Moses's programs and designs influenced a generation of engineers architects and urban planners nationwide. Moses held up to 12 official titles simultaneously including New York City Parks Commissioner and Chairman of the Long Island State Park Commission but was never elected to any public office. He ran only once as the Republican nominee for Governor of New York in 1934 and lost in a landslide. Nevertheless he created and led numerous semi-autonomous public authorities through which he controlled millions of dollars in revenue and directly issued bonds to fund new ventures with little or no input or oversight. As a result of Moses's work New York has the United States' greatest proportion of public benefit corporations which remain the primary driver of infrastructure building and maintenance and account for most of the state's debt. Moses's projects were considered economically necessary by many contemporaries after the Great Depression. Moses led the construction of New York campuses for the 1939 and 1964 World's Fairs and helped persuade the United Nations to locate its headquarters in Manhattan instead of Philadelphia.
