1942réf. 361083Tokyo: Burajiru ni Okeru Nihonjin Hattenshi Kanko Iinkai Publication Committee for the History of Japanese Development in Brazil 1942. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. A two-volume history of the Japanese in Brazil by a one-time California resident who helped open Brazil for the Japanese. The first Japanese immigrants settled in Brazil in 1908 not coincidentally the year after the Gentleman's Agreement restricted immigration to the United States. The new arrivals mostly pursued coffee cultivation around Sao Paulo. The first volume covers the diplomatic agreements and legal framework for Japanese immigrants in Brazil. The second volume describes the various colonies established successful businesses and offers biographies of some pioneers. These volumes were published to coincide with the 2600th anniversary of Japan a milestone used to stoke the flames of nationalism in the early 1940s. These books were reprinted in the 1950s when Japanese immigration to Brazil boomed again and then again in the 1990s. Aoyagi was a major proponent of Japanese emigration and for the establishment of colonies in the Americas. He arrived in California in the 1890s was the first Japanese to visit Peru and then led the push for agricultural colonies in Brazil negotiating the agreements to allow settlements and agricultural exports. Aoyagi was also instrumental in negotiating for Japanese government funds to buy land in Brazil for immigrant farmers. See Azuma In Search of Our Frontier pp. 110ff for more on Aoyagi's efforts in Brazil.

1718réf. 3782Three separately published parts. 4to. 20 x 16.5 20.5 x 16 and 21 x 17 cm. I: 1 f. 16 pp. with engraved plates of Lobelia westiniana 31 cm x 20.5 cm and Rhexia imbricata & Berberis laurifolia 30 cm x 20.5 cm. II: 1 f. 11 pp. III: 2 ff. 13 pp. engraved plate of Billbergia speciosa 35.5cm x 22cm. Title pages slightly dusty. Part II unbound. Generally excellent. A rare series of three consecutively printed dissertations 2 of them illustrated on the flora of Brazil diligently recorded in standard Linnaean form by Carl Thunberg Linnaeus' foremost disciple and the greatest botanical explorer and collector of his day. The specimens were collected by Georg Wilhelm Freyreiss in his travels to Minas Gerais Brazil in 1814-15. Only eight species out of the thirty described by Thunberg in these booklets had been studied until recently Moraes Smedt and Hjertson. Most of the specimens can still be found today at Uppsala University. Although the dissertations are separately signed by Billberg Ahlberg and Holm Reyment notes that the work in each case was Thunberg's since it was customary for the professor to write the thesis which his students would then defend in public. Each dissertation is in the form of a scientific description of 10 different species of which several appear to be named and described for the first time: for example Billberg's thesis notes two Lobelia one Begonia and one Euphorbia; Ahlberg'sseveral orchids Epidendrum Cymbidium sp. nightshades Solanum sp. and a type of wild basil Ocymum; and Holm's a species of bromeliad Billbergia speciosa. Two of the theses are illustrated with detailed depictions of the specimens involved on large folding engravings. Carl Peter Thunberg 1743-1828 rector of the University of Uppsala earned the epithets "father of South African botany" and "the Japanese Linnaeus." Of the disciples whom Linnaeus sent off on far-flung collecting journeys Thunberg traveled the furthest reaching South Africa Indonesia Japan where in order to be admitted he had to pass himself off as a Dutch Protestant merchant and Sri Lanka. Thunberg is cited in naming some 254 species of plants and animals though significantly more plants than animals and authoring more than 160 monographs and scientific papers.

1950réf. 6160Washington D.C.: Gordon Industrial Services Inc 1950. Very good. 3411pp. Typescript rectos only. Plus 26pp. of reproduced magazine articles. Minor soiling and wear. Slightly musty. A typescript report promoting harmony and cooperation between the governments of Brazil and the United States based on their similarities and the economic opportunities therein. "The greatest single factor in promoting lasting and ever-increasing relationships may be obtained only through an unusually comprehensive and alert public relations program aimed at every facet of news dissemination including newspapers magazines radio advertising exploitation books motion pictures newsreels visual exhibits and speaking engagements." The document goes on to outline such a plan which includes encouraging and promoting travel to Brazil by Americans teaching Portuguese in schools to encourage relations as well as using sports figures agriculture aviation and movies to promote a cross-pollination of the two nations. The second piece is a collection of reproduced articles on Francisco Pignatari a young Brazilian playboy and industrialist. Presumably Pignatari would be a critical piece of the puzzle in promoting Brazil's industry to the United States. An interesting concept pushing for post-war alliances and a boost to Brazil's economy. Gordon Industrial Services, Inc unknown
