1930réf. 112h6061Durham NC U.S.A.: Duke University Press. 1930. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good in Fair dust jacket. "The notion of identifiable 'lost tribes' involves certain presuppositions concerning Hebrew history and masses of supposed local evidence in many parts of the world. These presuppositions and the assumed evidence require a candid and searching anthropological historical examination. This book has no other purpose or method. But the examination brings to light a great body of the real facts of Hebrew history." - Preface. "The main thrust of Godbey's work is to disprove the assumption that the northern tribes taken into captivity by Sargon II in 722/1 B. C. were lost in the welter of international movements following that event." - J. M. Myers. "Godbey is fascinating. He is well worth reading - for his consummate passion for detail for his marvelously intricate tapestry of scholarship in an area where so much is tricky territory. He tells us a great deal about the horizontal development of Judaism." - Dr. Morris Epstein. "Fascinatingly erudite." - Michael Pollack in "Mandarins Jews and Missionaries. "Allen Howard Godbey 1864-1948 of Missouri was a Methodist minister Methodist historian and teacher writer and scholar in the field of the Old Testament Hebrew history archeology and Semitics.

1944réf. 864H4484Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company. Good in Good dust jacket. 1944. First Edition. Hardcover. Signed and inscribed by Jan Karski upon front free endpaper. Karski 1914-2000 recounts his experiences when his homeland of Poland was rent asunder by the joint Nazi and Soviet invasion of 1939 and his harrowing subsequent life as a member of the Polish underground during which he was captured by the Gestapo and severely tortured. Provides a ghastly eyewitness account of life in the Warsaw ghetto into which Karski was smuggled so his observations could be reported to the outside world. Firearms advocates will cringe at Karski's account of what happened after he and a large group of Polish soldiers handed over their weapons to their 'comrades' from the Soviet Union. In 2012 Karski was posthumously awarded America's highest civilan honor the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Obama. 391 pages. Moderate wear to publisher's red cloth.

1939réf. 222j2678London: Longman's Green and Co. Good with no dust jacket. 1939. First Edition. Hardcover. "This is a very long book but it has to be long. Since the real history of Palestine for two decades has been kept hidden from the public it is in a sense necessary here to recreate those lost twenty years in as much of their detail as possible. Half the facts I have to give have never been mentioned at all many of the documents have never been quoted. There was no Palestine Question nor ever would have been one if certain statesmen had not created it. The book deals primarily with the story of how Palestine was placed under Mandatory government in order to establish the 'Jewish National Home' which later - it was intended - should become a Jewish State. Under no circumstances can it be sustained that because of the prophecies of the Old Testament the Jews have a permit to return to Palestine arbitrarily and wrongfully. To do so would provide an example never before seen of Scripture being quoted for the devil's purpose." - Introduction. J. M. N. Jeffries 18801960 was a British war correspondent historian and author. Between 1914 and 1933 he wrote for the Daily Mail serving as a war correspondent as head of the Paris bureau during World War I. In 1922 he travelled with the owner of the Daily Mail Viscount Northcliffe to Mandatory Palestine." - Wikipedia. vi-xxiv 728 p. Index. Bibliography.

"The revolutionary unrest which to-day afflicts the entire world goes far deeper than is generally supposed. Its root-cause is not Russian Bolshevik propaganda nor the late war nor the French Revolution but a process of racial impoverishment which destroyed the great civilizations of the past and which threatens to destroy our own. In light of recent biological discoveries confirmed and amplified by investigations in other fields of science especially psychology all political and social problems need to be re-examined. Such a re-examination of one of these problems - the problem of social revolution - has been attempted in the present book." - Preface. "A penetrating study of the under man here in America." - Boston Herald. "How any one with an interest in the future of the nation can fail to heed studiously the questions he very lucidly raises it is difficult to conceive." - Harold Callender in the New York Herald.

His books were once widely read both inside and outside the United States. This book introduced the term Untermensch the German translation of 'under man' into Nazi conceptions of race.

1938réf. 426j1629Asheville North Carolina: Pelley Publishers. Very Good. 1938. First Edition. Hardcover. "Elmhurst has assembled and produced the data in a readable story which shows irrefutably that Communism is not merely a crackpot program for undermining the Christian governments of the world with unworkable socialistic theories carried into practice. The young man has scoured up the data in enthralling biographical form attesting that communism is world Jewry in action! I pride myself that I know something about Jews and Communism. In 1918 I found myself in Siberian Russia. I traveled 700 versts in that stricken country while Communism was 'coming in'. After coming home from Russia I spent five years in the fleshpots of Hollywood making moving pictures shoulder to shoulder with Jews. I served a stiff apprenticeship in Jewish psychology and temperament. I read the complete manuscript of this book in one evening - at one sitting - because it held my interest convincingly unflaggingly till the last page had been reached. The author and his co-helper Miss Theresa Holm scoured the libraries of the world and compiled therefrom the devasting sic data out of the mouths of the Sons of Jacob themselves. Good Christians seem to forget that Christ was the world's outstanding Jew-Baiter and that the sons of Jacob slew him for His Naziism!" - Introduction.

1965réf. 67155Atlanta: Southern Christian Leadership Conference 1965. Original mock up for a personnel sign up sheet for SCOPE volunteers consisting of two manuscript sheets in an unknown hand along with four repurposed Morehouse college student personnel sheets with holographic additions and revisions all combined to compose a thorough volunteer information packet for SCOPE volunteers looking to be sent around the Deep South to work volunteer voter drives. The Summer Community Organization and Political Education Project of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference was a voter registration civil rights initiative conducted from 1965 to 1966 in 120 counties in six southern states. Officially announced by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at a speech in 1965 at UCLA the project started with a plan to recruit up to 2000 students from all across the US but fell short of this goal mostly due to fear of violent retribution many volunteers possibly faced. The project officially kicked off with an orientation in June of 1965 at Morris brown College in Atlanta ad afterwards volunteers tested and reported violations of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act in counties throughout the South.

The Summer Community Organization and Political Education Project of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference was a voter registration civil rights initiative conducted from 1965 to 1966 in 120 counties in six southern states. Officially announced by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at a speech in 1965 at UCLA the project started with a plan to recruit up to 2000 students from all across the US but fell short of this goal mostly due to fear of violent retribution many volunteers possibly faced. The project officially kicked off with an orientation in June of 1965 at Morris brown College in Atlanta ad afterwards volunteers tested and reported violations of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act in counties throughout the South.

"Thomas Story Kirkbride July 31 1809 December 16 1883 was a physician advocate for the mentally ill and founder of the Association of Medical Superintendents of American Institutions for the Insane AMSAII a precursor to the American Psychiatric Association. In 1840 Kirkbride became superintendent of the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane. In 1844 Kirkbride helped to found AMSAII becoming secretary and treasurer and subsequently its president from 1862 to 1870. Kirkbride pioneered what would be known as the Kirkbride Plan to improve medical care for the insane as a standardization for buildings that housed the patients. Kirkbride's influential work On the Construction Organization and General Arrangements of Hospitals for the Insane with Some Remarks on Insanity and Its Treatment was published in 1854 and again in 1880. Kirkbride's ideas brought about mixed feelings in both patients and peers. Some in the medical community saw his theories and ideas as stubbornly clinging to ideals that hindered medical progress while others supported his ideas and saw them change the treatment philosophy for the mentally insane. In his patients he sometimes inspired fear and anger even to the point that one attempted to murder him but he also believed that the mentally ill could be treated and possibly cured and in fact Kirkbride after the death of his first wife married a former patient. Kirkbride was an advocate of building hospitals for the mentally ill in a style which he believed promoted recovery and healing. This style was used on many late 19th century hospitals including St. Elizabeths Hospital in Washington D.C. Many of these buildings designed by leading architects of the time are in ruins or decay. An estate now known as "The Village" previously Traverse City State Hospital was saved from destruction and beautifully restored." K073. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket.
