180030900MADRID: En la Imprenta de Joseph Doblado 1800. Primera edición.- 8º.- Plena pasta española de época lomera con tejuelo y ruedas doradas.- 115 páginas de texto incluida Portada.- 65 láminas fuera de texto grabadas representando planos el último plegado. Desgarro en una hoja de texto en el mapa plegado sin la más mínima pérdida y debidamente restaurado. Por lo demás muy buen ejemplar. En la portada de la obra consta nueva edición pero en ninguna bibliografía se cita una edición anterior salvo que se refiera a un plano conjunto de Madrid y Paris citado en la ""Cartografía de España en la Biblioteca Nacional Siglo XVI al XIX."" número 1268 que fue grabado por Asensio. El último plano que está plegado y grabado como los otros tiene unas dimensiones de 365 x 505 cms. y en la cartela se lee: ""Plano geométrico de Madrid demostrado con los 64 barrios en que está dividido"". Al pie del mismo: ""Fausto Martínez de la Torre lo delineó y grabó"". Es obra muy rara al estar completa. Alfonso García Escuder en su obra ""Mil libros en la Historia de Madrid número 524"" después de la descripción bibliográfica apostilla: ""Libro difícil de encontrar completo particularmente con el plano grande. De hecho solo hemos encontrado dos últimas ventas en 1994 y 1995 en las cuales se describen con 64 láminas y no 65 como tiene este ejemplar"".

1946560415Napoli / Roma: Gaspare Casella Editore / De Luigi Editore 1946. Softcover. Very Good. Nos. 1-18 in 15 issues i.e. three double issues. Slim octavos. Text in Italian. Printed wrappers paper still supple. Owner's signature of author and critic Michele Cantarella a leading anti-fascist Italian expatriate on the cover of one issue and three issues with a bit of pencilled marginal bracketing by him. Modest toning wear and soil a few tiny tears at the spine ends the first five issues with the pages somewhat toned and occasional very light foxing mostly confined to the first and last leaves a nice very good or better run of this somewhat delicate Italian literary magazine that featured two publishers and three editors during this time period. Of particular note is the inclusion of "Angoscia" "Anguish" later known as "Anguish in the Barracks" in issue 16 a very early possibly the earliest published story by Italo Calvino predating his first book by two years. The final issue prints a "Referendum" of four questions for poets about their work and claim that they have already received responses from Eugenio Montale Cesare Pavesi Corrado Alvaro and others and will begin publishing their responses in the next issue but the magazine ceased publication with No. 17/18. A well-preserved set of a cheaply wartime- printed magazine. Gaspare Casella Editore / De Luigi Editore unknown

In half vellum over 17th- or 18th-century woodblock printed paste paper titled in manuscript on spine. Lower board ruptured near corner subsequently rebuilt. Some leaves toned brown.

References: Adams F-182; Olschki Choix de livres anciens VI 5817 <br /><br />This essay extolling marriage is an early artifact of modern ethnography in that it poses as a survey of marriage customs through history and around the world. In true humanist fashion Fausto mines the ancient historians for most of his material. So we find out that in Lacedaemonia or Atlantis men who refused to marry were forced to run naked through the forum in the dead of winter and that in Assyria husbands were bound by law to obey their wives. The text concludes with a long series of Q&A "quesiti" concerning marriage ceremonies in which we find out why the Boetians crowned brides with asparagus why Persian couples wait until spring to "consummate" any marriage and why it is customary to grease the newlyweds' doorway with pig fat or wolf fat. The book is also notable for its lovely large woodcut initials including a letter T showing a satyr and a man at table together a P with a bare-breasted woman driving a triumphal chariot and an N with a lion-headed man astride a swimming horse.

Description: "After colonizing the Aegean islands and the coast of Asia Minor the ancient Greeks turned toward southern Italy and Sicily driven by the unrest that troubled their homeland in the eighth and seventh centuries B. C. The new arrivals brought with them their language their cultural and religious traditions and the institution of the polis. In Italy they created an autonomous political community that eventually surpassed the cities of Greece in wealth military power and architectural and cultural splendor. Such forefathers of Western philosophy as Pythagoras Parmenides and Archimedes lived and worked within this civilization. The Greek Cities of Magna Graecia and Sicily presents an overview of Greek colonization in Italy and the principal historical events that took place in this area from the Archaic period until the ascendancy of the Romans. This comprehensive survey is followed by a review of the major archaeological sites in the region." -- with a bonus offer-- . Museum Publications hardcover

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - BRAND NEW FLAWLESS COPY NEVER OPENED - 304 pages -- DESCRIPTION: Motivated by a suspicion that schools fail to teach what "matters" Simon director of research at the Coalition of Essential Schools in California spent months observing literature history and biology classes at a public a Catholic and a Jewish high school. What "matters" to Simon is the integration of moral and existential inquiry into the classroom; she argues that not only are moral and existential questions at the heart of the major disciplines they are also extremely compelling to students. But too much of what goes on in schools she contends is "the forming of uninformed opinions" and "decontextualized fact acquisition." Although she shows how even good teachers sometimes deflect or shut down important discussions Simon places the blame squarely on the education system that works "against teachers being able to incorporate discussions of substantive issues into their classrooms." As in many recent books the villain is the standardized test and the stakes for both students and teachers attached to it. Simon writes fluently integrating transcripts of classroom discussions smoothly into her narrative and engagingly conveying her idealist's passion for reform. To reconsider education's entire enterprise is a very tall order however and Simon acknowledges the enormous obstacles her project faces. Readers will agree that students shouldn't continue to feel disengaged in school because they're denied the chance to ask and answer essential questions but they may be skeptical of Simon's starry-eyed recipe for change. - Publishers Weekly -- with a bonus offer-- .
