19741811Venezuela 1974. In custom made paper cover. Saddle-stitched. Paper-taped spine. In fine condition. In custom made paper cover. Saddle-stitched. Paper-taped spine. 21 leaves. 22 pages of handwritten text in blue ink signed on the last page. <p><br /> Unique signed manuscript diary of the former Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez written during his parachute course at the Venezuelan Academy of Military Sciences in Caracas between June 24 and July 14 1974.<br /> <p><p><br /> With detailed daily entries about his political ideas military training and his private life as a young cadet the “diary reveals the evolution of his political aspirations and his incipient vision of himself as someone predestined a man with a historical missionâ€. Marcano Tyszka 2007. p. 39<br /> <p><p><br /> 1974 was the 19-year-old Chavez’s last year at the military academy and according to Richard Gott author of the first book about Chávez in English also the year “Chávez was first politicizedâ€. As a cadet “with a growing admiration for Simón BolÃvar†Chávez was chosen for a special trip to Peru in the same year to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Peruvian independence from Spain which “provided his first direct exposure to a social experiment launched by a progressive although dictatorial military man Juan Velasco Alvaradoâ€. By the time Chávez graduated from the academy “he had begun to think about the need for the military to have a role in running the countryâ€. <br /> <p><p><br /> In his present 1974 diary Chávez takes notes about his ideas and quotes both BolÃvar “who abandons all to be useful to his country loses nothing but gains all he consecrates†as well as Che Guevara "The present is a time for struggle; the future is ours.†He also gives an account of his paratrooper training from his arrival to the military base to his first jump which he describes as “one of the greatest experiences in my life. Perhaps the most exciting in my twentiesâ€. In his last entry on July 14 1974 which he also signed Chávez says “Thanks to God I am a paratrooper!†His military education and being a paratrooper played an important role in Chávez’s career. He led the MBR-200 coup attempt in February 1992 as commanding officer of a parachute regiment which he took over in Maracay in 1991 and the red beret of his parachute regiment remained his signature throughout his life. Besides his political ideas and the training process Chávez confesses about personal issues of his private life feelings and relationships and also writes about less intimate affairs such as movies he watched like Spinout with Elvis Presley or The Exorcist.
<br /> <p><p><br /> This original manuscript covers a full chapter of Chávez’s diary from the period between March and September 1974 which was published as a four-chapter-book in 2018 under the title Diario del cadete Hugo Chávez Diary of the Cadet Hugo Chávez based on the typescript of the handwritten diary.<br /> <p><p><br /> Literature: Bart J.: Hugo!

195048738Paris.: By the artists / COBRA-bibliotheek. 1950 December. Original publisher's tan photocopy card portfolio with flap title after Claus' manuscript to front cover with illustration by Appel across covers and spine coloured by the artist by hand. 4to. 276 x 228 mm. Leaf with title with small vignette frontispiece by Appel verso following leaves with verse by Claus and full-page illustrations all composed as spreads with Appel's illustration at left and Claus' verse at right final leaf with justification verso; photocopy text and illustration throughout all of Appel's illustrations are signed in the plate and feature colouring by the artist by hand. Sheet size: 270 x 210 mm. A very rare presentation copy of Karel Appel and Hugo Claus' photocopy artist book with the illustration with additional colour by Appel by hand.From the edition limited to 200 numbered copies signed by Appel and Claus in blue ink to the title; Appel's presentation is in blue ink to the same leaf: 'VOOR / ALDO. / 25-12-'50'.The first and only number of this very rare early CoBrA publication produced while the Belgian poet Claus and the Dutch painter Appel lived in Paris. Claus and Appel attempted to solicit subscriptions for what was to be a series of publications each issue would be available for three guilders however only three copies were in fact subscribed for and the project was abandoned after this sole number. Produced in its entirety using a prototype photocopy method 'een Foto-copy systeem' the illustrations were coloured individually by Appel by hand using vibrant primary colours.Many copies also include the original subscription announcement a single sheet with text and a single illustration and the fact it is not present here combined with the number of the present example - '3' - and the date of the presentation '25-12-'50' and the date of publication 'December 1950' suggest that this is one of those three copies that were in fact subscribed for.'De Blijde En Onvoorziene Week' The Happy and Unforeseen Week features a poem by Claus for each day - it begins with Sunday 'Zondag' and ends with Saturday 'Zaterdag' - combined with Appel's characteristic illustrations. Appel created his illustrations spontaneously while Claus' poems were written using matches dipped in ink. The pair anticipated that each issue of the 'Hand-Reeks' would require a single afternoon to produce however the dearth of orders ensured that no further numbers were produced and the project was abandoned.'De blijde en onvoorziene week valt op door de ongepolijste directheid van het materiaal de tegelijk speelse en agressieve toon de associatieve techniek en de grensvervaging tussen mens en wereld. De tekeningen zijn door Appel in primaire kleuren met de hand ingekleurd de gedichten zijn met in inkt gedoopte lucifers geschreven. Tussen tekst en tekening bestaat geen dwingend verband. Ze staan naast elkaar: de tekeningen zijn niet bedoeld als illustratie van de gedichten de teksten zijn geen bijschriften bij de tekeningen.'

A unique piece of history. The Warren Court during the period from October 1967 to May 1969 represented the culmination of the Court’s liberal constitutional revolution. This lineup presided over several landmark decisions that reinforced civil liberties and the rights of the accused. In Katz v. United States 1967 the Court expanded Fourth Amendment protections to include electronic surveillance holding that the Constitution protects people not just physical places. In Epperson v. Arkansas 1968 the justices struck down a state ban on teaching evolution strengthening the Establishment Clause. Moreover the Court advanced principles of racial equality and free expression setting precedents that shaped American law well beyond Warren’s retirement in 1969. The Macmillan Company hardcover
19644512Amsterdam: n.p. 1964 1964. Paper scroll 2760x430mm with a facsimile translated into English of Huges's manifesto written while in prison for an expanded consciousness achieved through the control of blood to the brain. which gives the work its alternative name: The Mechanism of BrainBloodVolume BBV. The original manuscript of Homo Sapiens Correctus was written in Dutch in 1962. In 1964 a facsimile was issued in both Dutch and in an English translation. The text which is organised in nine sections with titles such as "Chemical" "Osmotical" "Brain Metabolism" is arranged around ten coloured diagrams showing how blood is distributed between the brain and the heart. Apart from the occasional chip and a few closed tears this copy is in very good condition with the illustrations especially clean and fresh. At the foot of the scroll is written: "Amsterdam Bart Huges. Made in prison. Copy rights fl.100.000-". Institutionally rare OCLC records only four cop ies of the version in English. And of those sold at auction in the last twenty years all but one have been in Dutch and it seems that the English version is considerably more scarce. Huges is probably the most celebrated enthusiast for trepanation a procedure which he performed on himself on 6th January 1965 using a dentist's drill. Huges's auto-surgery was a long time in the planning. As a medical student in the late 1950s and early 1960s he developed the idea that as humans walk upright blood drains out of the brain. Furthermore as we move from childhood to adulthood our cranial sutures close cutting down the flow of blood to the brain. Huges started to work on ways of recovering our childlike state. Drugs were a significant part of his method - he was an enthusiastic user of marijuana his daughter was called Maria Juana and LSD - and it was while on mescaline that he first understood how trepanation might work to reduce the volume of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain thus increasing the volume of brainblood. Homo Sapiens Correctus explores a number of alternatives to drilling a hole in his head "Physical" "Brain Metabolism" "Psychovitamins" which is just as well as it is a spectacularly gruesome procedure. But there is no doubt that Huges's principal contribution to the expansion of consciousness and the returning of our minds to their childlike states lies in his evangelical adoption of trepanation. Huges who was still a medical student at the time has said that he wrote this scroll to educate doctors about the benefits of the procedure. "I visited about twenty professors of psychiatry anthropology neuro-anatomy etc. and their reactions were without exception negative". So not a success medically but this extraordinary scroll has secured its place as a key work of the 1960s counterculture. Amsterdam: n.p. [1964] unknown

Engraved portrait by Gordon Ross titlepage engraving. vi 24 2 pp. 1 vols. 8vo 9.25 x 6.25 inches. INSCRIBED LARGE PAPER. The original edition of this book was so rare that Mr. Gee the great sporting bookseller reprinted it for his friends.<br/>Frazier writes: "the book and its design paper binding and style are so obviously Derrydale in spirit and influence that one only to put it side by side with Connett's AMERICAN TROUT STREAMS by Henry Ingraham produced the following year to see how this book and the books of the Press came together. The question would be whether Ernest Gee had more influence on Connett in 1926 or whether Connett had more influence on Gee in this important year when together they formed the group that formed the press." Siegel clearly felt this was not a Derrydale because in the early days of the Press Connett used J.N. Johnston for the printing of the Press books and no connection can be established with August Becker who printed this work. <br/>In Ernest Gee's catalogue No. 10 printed around 1928 he lists this title in two areas.

1962020458Washington D.C.: Ackad photographer 1962. Autograph. Very good condition. Unbound. Signed by Authors. First Edition. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Large black and white photograph 16.75" x 12" of the Warren Court signed by all nine justices below their portrait. Seated are Tom C. Clark Hugo L. Black Earl Warren William O. Douglas and John M. Harlan. Standing are Byron P. White William J. Brennan Jr. Potter Stewart and Arthur J. Goldberg. From 1962-1965 this highly active court decided: GRISWOLD v. CONNECTICUT preventing states from making the use of contraception by married couples illegal; KATZENBACH v. McCLUNG clarifying the power of Congress in the field of interstate commerce; NEW YORK TIMES CO. v. SULLIVAN ruling that a state cannot award damages to a public official for defamatory falsehood related to their official conduct unless they prove actual malice; HEART OF ATLANTA HOTEL INC. v. U.S. prohibiting racial discrimination in places of public accommodation affecting commerce is a valid exercise of Congress' power under the Commerce Clause as applied to a place of public accommodation serving interstate travelers; WESBERRY v. SANDERS enacting the constitutional requirement that representatives be chosen "by the people of the several states" means that as nearly as is practicable one person's vote in a congressional election must be worth as much as another person's vote; REYNOLDS v. SIMS establishing the Equal Protection Clause which requires substantially equal legislative representation for all citizens in a state regardless of where they reside. Legislators represent people rather than areas and weighting votes differently according to where citizens happen to reside is discriminatory; SHERBERT v. VERNER establishing that substantial infringement of an individual's right to religious freedom must be justified by a compelling state interest; ABINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT v. SCHEMPP ruling that no state law or school board may require that passages from the Bible be read or that the Lord's Prayer be recited in public schools even if students may be excused from attending or participating upon written request of their parents; GIDEON v. WAINWRIGHT establishing the right of an indigent defendant in a criminal trial to have the assistance of counsel is a fundamental right essential to a fair trial; BAKER v. CARR ruling that prominent on the surface of any case held to involve a political question is found a textually demonstrable constitutional commitment of the issue to a coordinate political department a lack of judicially discoverable and manageable standards for resolving it the impossibility of deciding without an initial policy determination of a kind clearly for non-judicial discretion the impossibility of a court's undertaking independent resolution without expressing lack of the respect due coordinate branches of government an unusual need for unquestioning adherence to a political decision already made or the potentiality of embarrassment from multifarious pronouncements by various departments on one question. More specifically an equal protection challenge to a legislative apportionment is not a non-justiciable political question; ENGEL v. VITALE establishing that state officials may not compose an official state prayer and require that it be recited in public schools even if the prayer is denominationally neutral and even if students may remain silent or be excused. Housed in a simple black frame. Ackad [photographer] Paperback
