1942Best.-Nr. 39791London: Chatto & Windus 1942. Very good. Bilingual children's book in support of the Allied Forces following a little girl from colonized Senegal who wants to help in the war effort. Young Coucou wants to "play her part" and signs up to be an ambulance driver exchanging her red pants and blue and white jersey shirt for a uniform. She sees battle in Belgium and tries to join the forces in England after France is defeated; the English are so surprised by her they assume she's a spy and imprison her. Despite elements of racist condescension and unexamined colonialism the story center's Coucou's bravery and repeated sacrifices for the country she considers hers. The work is further remarkable for its vivid color illustrations: overall an unusually World War II-era patriotic work for children. 7.25'' x 5''.

Very attractive 19th-century French red glazed boards red morocco spine lettered in gilt directly two insignificant worm-holes on lower hinge leading nowhere; trifle wear to binding extremities. Completely unsophisticated. First printing of "Telliamed" in every way a remarkable book. Disguised as an Oriental fantasy it contains perhaps the earliest appearance of one of the most important of all evolution speculations namely the so-called ultra-neptunian theory: that the entire Earth was and is a marine deposit and that all life on land originated from creatures of the sea. Maillet hypothesized that the earth was once entirely covered with water and that the water gradually evaporated into space causing land masses to appear. Maillet also created an ingenious methodology to calculate the age of the Earth: he concluded that the Earth is 2 billion years old evolutionists today consider this figure to be more like 4.5 billion. It is known that Buffon Lamark Cuvier and Darwin read this book and that they were very much influenced by Maillet's unorthodox "heretical" views. Well aware that such an immense figure would incur the wrath of the Church de Maillet presented his conclusions in the guise of a dialogue between a French missionary and an Eastern mystic named Telliamed an anagram for the author's last name i.e. de Maillet spelled backwards. The manuscript remained unpublished until a decade after Maillet's death. In order to present his radical conclusions in the guise of an Oriental tale Maillet interspersed monsters and mythological creatures into his text. Overtly anti-Christian "Telliamed" dismisses the Flood of the Old Testament as a fable because rainfall that lasted forty days would have been insignificant to submerge entire mountains. Maillet asserted that the Earth's history could not be read from the Bible but through the rocks themselves. ¶ With uncanny prescience Maillet describes how species have overlapping physical characteristics that suggested a common life origin namely the sea. Through a Oriental mystic we are told that: "The little Wings had under their Belly and which like their Fins helped them to walk in the Sea became Feet and served them to walk on Land." ¶ REFERENCES: Caillet No. 7009.

Ed Abbey had introduced me to Dave Foreman and the other Earth First!'ers the night before at Lone Rock campground on the shores of Lake Powell. After we 'cracked' the dam Abbey spoke to the crowd from the back of my 1954 flat black Chevrolet pickup in the Glen Canyon Dam Visitor's Center parking lot. For the next five years my truck became the Earth First! Stage and I became Spurs Jackson the minister of information. Early on I introduced John Zaelit aka the Zealot to Earth First!

Law enforcement cracked down on its members and various internal issues and factions began to form within the group. Earth First! embraced non-hierarchical structures and organic methods of organization and growth while continuing to focus on direct action in defense of wilderness as its primary focus. Through the 1990's 2000's and 2010's the journal continued to be published in various forms under the direction of a diverse and rotating collective of voices from within the broad Earth First! movement. Regular print publication of the Earth First!

ABOUT THIS BOOK: Whether it's the meal on our dinner plate the clothes we wear or the electricity powering our homes so often our necessities arrive at our doorstep without us ever knowing what it took to get them there. In Sacred Violence Paul Feather and Terra Currie identify our culture's lethal disconnect from our basic needs and it's disastrous results: hitman culture - the widespread practice of paying others to enact the violence required in producing our basic needs. From spearing voles in their sweet potato patch to the community supported home birth of their daughter Feather and Currie candidly share their quest to bring production of their basic needs back into their community and to find the sacred within the violence at the root of daily life.Publisher.

Each of the measurement systems devised by Herrmann were clock driven and appear to be the refinement of a similar system designed by Leupold in 1726.
