50841Prague: Historický ústav ÄSAV v Praze 1968. Octavo 20.4 à 15 cm. Original printed black wrappers over blind white wraps; 6 IV 1 35 37-54 1 blank 55-494 pp and fifty-six unnumbered pages with photographic reproductions interspersed. Good; wrappers worn and creased; binding shaken but intact. First edition of this documentation in text and image of the 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia which put a sudden end to the Prague Spring a period of political and cultural liberalization in the mid-1960s. The arrival of Russian troops on tanks on August 21 1968 heralded the onset of the so-called Normalization period presided over by Gustáv Husák and ended the political and cultural liberalization in the mid to late 1960s. Nearly 150 Czech citizens were killed during the invasion and many more wounded during protests. The response of the public was one of non-violent but active resistance: soldiers were misdirected street signs were removed food and water were denied the occupants and anti-Soviet posters and slogans appeared overnight. <br/><br/>This compilation was published semi-legally and at considerable risk only a month after the invasion. To defend themselves against repercussions the publishers used the printed label "Studijnà materiál - pouze pro vnitÅnà potÅebu" "Study materials - only for internal use". Aside from detailed timelines of the memorable days eyewitness accounts newspaper articles including translations from foreign press and transcriptions of official Soviet and Czechoslovak documents the volume contains dozens of photographs taken during the invasion. They show the movement of planes and tanks the faces of Czech politicians protests and demonstrations as well as the posters and handbills circulated in the immediate aftermath including many anti-Soviet banners and graffiti. The book was distributed in samizdat copies and quickly forwarded abroad: an English version edited by Robert Littell was published in 1969 with the title The Czech Black Book. paperback books

185064491Washington DC 1850. Single sheet folded 25 cm. 2pp. of text. Printed regulations including a "qualifications" paragraph and fourteen conditions which might cause a candidate to be rejected. Signed in type by Secretary of the Navy Wm. Ballard Preston and dated "Navy Department July 1 1850" at foot of page 1. With integral address leaf blank. Two small holes punched in left-hand margin some minor dust soiling and chipping to outer corner of lower page margin not affecting text. <br/>Prior to 1850 the U.S. Naval Academy was known as the Naval School. Through the efforts of Pres. James K Polk's Secretary of the Navy George Bancroft the Naval School was established without Congressional funding at a 10-acre Army post named Fort Severn in Annapolis Maryland on October 10 1845 with a class of 50 midshipmen and seven professors. The curriculum included mathematics and navigation gunnery and steam chemistry English natural philosophy and French. In 1850 the Naval School became the United States Naval Academy. A new curriculum went into effect requiring midshipmen to study at the Academy for four years and to train aboard ships each summer. That format is the basis of a far more advanced and sophisticated curriculum at the Naval Academy today. see: United States Naval Academy website. No listings for this date found on OCLC though there are later versions. Likely this was the first version of the regulations printed for the newly renamed Academy a document reproduced regularly over subsequent years. <br/><br/> unknown books
