[Signed Astronaut Memoir] Mitchell, Edgar; Williams, DwightBiblio.com

The Way of the Explorer: An Apollo Astronaut's Journey Through the Material and Mystical Worlds.

199629156New York:: Putnam 1996. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Inscribed by astronaut Mitchell on the half-title page. Apollo 14 astronaut Mitchell offers a vision in which technology and intuition are harmonized in pursuit of a more advanced consciousness. When Mitchell was hurtling back to earth after walking on the moon in 1971 he had a profound sense that all things are interconnected and that the universe is an intelligent process with which we need to link up. We hear how Mitchell began a career as a fighter pilot in the years following WW II switched to NASA with the hope of being part of the new space program and came to know the legendary Wernher von Braun whom he believes was a true visionary rather than a Nazi opportunist. Mitchell tells how while returning to earth he carried out a private ESP experiment that seemed to yield positive results. Subsequently he founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences in order to test paranormal phenomena scientifically. He offers us a tour of Western thought from Aristotle to Newton arguing that intuition and science were divorced until the advent of Einstein and quantum physics. We hear a lot about synchronicity left and right brain and the concept that psychic events are quantum exchanges in the brain that link us with the larger world. From "Kirkus". Putnam, hardcover

The Leopard's Spots: A Romance of the White Man's Burden 1865-1900

190384768New York: Doubleday Page & Company 1903. Deluxe Issue. Octavo 23.5cm; cream cloth-covered boards with titling and decorations stamped in gilt and red on spine and front cover; top-edge gilt; fore- and lower-edges untrimmed; 469pp; illustration to frontispiece and throughout. Signed by previous owner E. G. Warren on front endpaper. Shelf-soil with light rubbing to crown; Very Good. Dixon 1864-1946 an American author lawyer Baptist minister and professional racist spent his writing career romanticizing the South opposing equal rights for African Americans and glorifying white supremacy and championing the KKK as the knights of the South. "No American author of his time was more deeply devoted to the cause of white supremacy than Thomas Dixon Jr. When Dixon prepared his attacks against Blacks he drew skillfully upon an imagination that had been schooled in both the Baptist ministry and the study of Law" Blockson p.42. In his preface to the reader Dixon explains that the novel "develops the true story of the "Ku Klux Klan Conspiracy" which overturned the Reconstruction régime." The novel spans five years 1865-1870 opening shortly after Robert E. Lee signs the treaty at Appomattox and heavily promotes the post-emancipation theory of racial retrogression. "The basic premise of the theory was not only that blacks were inferior to whites but also that as they became further removed from the taming influences slavery had provided they were actually retrogressing to an even more bestial state that made their very presence a threat particularly sexually to white society. Because there was no hope of blacks' rehabilitation total segregation posed the only viable alternative and equality with whites in any area remained an impossibility" Inscoe John C. "The Clansman" on Stage and Screen: North Carolina Reacts." The North Carolina Historical Review Vol.64 No.2 April 1987 p.142. At the time of publication The Clansman together with The Leopard's Spots quickly became the biggest sellers of the young and financially struggling Doubleday Page & Co. doing much to establish them as a major publishing company. Aware of the enduring popularity of Uncle Tom's Cabin on the stage Dixon adapted a dramatic version of his novel in 1905 in the hopes of reaching a wider audience with his message; he often traveled with the touring company making short speeches between acts. The play was a huge success alternately vilified and enthusiastically received depending on the state. Dixon's message would ultimately find an even broader audience once his book was adapted into the 1915 film Birth of a Nation by D.W. Griffith formerly an actor in a stage production of Dixon's novel The One Woman. BLOCKSON 53; SMITH D-423. 84768. Doubleday, Page & Company unknown

"For a number of years Elia Kazan the director of several of Tennessee Williams's play on Broadway as well as films had been urging Mr. Williams to weld into an original film story two of his early one-act plays which were roughly concerned with the same characters and situation. And in the summer of 1955 while he was traveling in Europe Mr. Williams wrote and dispatched to Mr. Kazan a proposed script quite different from the two short plays. With some changes this was filmed the following winter mainly in the Mississippi rural area which had been the original setting of the two short plays." from the Publisher's Note. The film Baby Doll is the story of a middle-aged man married to a girl of twenty and of his jealousy and hatred of the young Italian immigrant who steals first his business then his wife. Carroll Baker Eli Wallach Mildred Dunnock and Karl Malden filled the principal roles. N. B.

The Great American Novel

19236349Paris: Three Mountains Press 1923. Hard Cover. Good binding. Octavo.79 1 pp. First edition; numbered 275 of 300 copies; signed by Williams on the front free endpaper. Bound as issued in publisher's cloth-backed boards; lacking title label. Binding is bumped at the board edges; spine ends softened with some fraying; boards toned; offsetting to the endpapers; a closed tear to the fore-edge of the front free endpaper has been discreetly mended; an additional short closed tear to the fore-edge margin of a leaf had an early tape repair that was removed and mended more sensitively. All in all a reasonable copy of an uncommon book. A notable early work from one of the great American writers and issued like so many important literary works of that time from a small but significant American press in Paris. William Bird founded the Three Mountains Press in the 1920's and worked closely with Robert McAlmon's Contact Editions not long after opening. Bird was responsible for publishing and/or printing numerous major literary works of the era including several works by Ezra Pound Ford Madox Ford's Women and Men Robert McAlmon's Distinguished Air William's The Great American Novel and perhaps most notably Hemingway's second and defining work In Our Time. In fact Pound edited the series of six short prose works that included this present novel and Hemingway's In Our Time. Pound solicited Williams's work for this series about which he wrote in a letter to Williams that the "point of the thing would lie in its being really interesting." Williams's novel was that. While he later referred to it as a "satire on the novel form" his bibliographer contended that "it could be described as an attempt to explore" using Williams's own word "the background of American life" Wallace 16. An important work in its own right The Great American Novel is also rooted in the culture of expatriate artists that Gertrude Stein named the Lost Generation. Bird's Press was integrally connected to the burgeoning Modernist movement in Paris which would define a generation of writers and influence generations that followed. An important work signed by one of the great writers of the 20th century. Wallace A6. Three Mountains Press unknown

Among his influential anthologies are Master Poems of the English Language Immortal Poems of the English Language The Pocket Book of Modern Verse and the Little Treasury Poetry Series which were used in colleges and high schools around the U.S. in the 1950s and 1960s. During his lifetime anthologies he edited sold more than two million copies a nearly unheard amount for books of poetry. Many of his anthologies are still being republished today. Though a friend and promoter of poets like Dylan Thomas and George Barker Williams' own poetry is not highly regarded by critics though he published several volumes during his life time and is not nearly as accomplished as the poetry of his wife the unjustly neglected Gene Derwood 1909-1954. Among Williams' poems are "Revenge" "Poem" "Poet" "The Last Supper" and "I Sing an Old Song" "The City's Face". Wikipedia hardcover

A NARRATIVE OF A VOYAGE OF THE SHIP MORRISON CAPTAIN D. INGERSOLL TO LEWCHEW AN

22077301Canton 1837-39 Mission Press. New green cloth over boards very good with issues numbers 5 8 9 the complete article extracted from the Chinese Repository 1837-38 66 pages a most bright and clean copy nicely rebound. R A R E This is a most fascinating primary resource. Obscure & rare! The narrative begins: "The object of this voyage was to carry back to their country seven shipwrecked Japanese who had been residing at Macao for several months and whose return it was reasonably supposed would form a good excuse for appearing in the harbors of that empire." With this mis- sion in mind the story unfolds. This is an exceptionally obscure and rare copy of the journal kept by S.W. Williams a celebrated American sinologist and missionary who came to Canton to run the Mission Press. During his twenty-three sojourn in China as a missionary he supervised the publica- tions from the Mission Press as well as the monthly period- ical the "Chinese Repository" and worked on a dictionary of grammar of the Cantonese dialect. He was also the celebr- ated author of the classic on China: MIDDLE KINGDOM. So the story continues. It was in the summer of 1837 that Williams received an invitation to join in the attempt to organize the return of some seven shipwrecked Japanese sailors from Macao to the Bay of Edo in the ship "Morrison." The mission failed because the Japanese refused to allow the return to Japan of any of its citizens who were lost at sea or who il- legally went abroad during the period of Sakoku or "Closed Country." This experience in Japan stimulated Williams to study the Japanese language and people with the assistance of two of the shipwrecked Japanese sailors whom he employ- ed at his press. Against this backdrop & experience in 1853 he received a request from Commodore Perry to accompany the expedition to open Japan as the official interpreter.
