Apollinaire is considered one of the foremost poets of the early 20th century as well as one of the most impassioned defenders of Cubism and a forefather of Surrealism. He is credited with coining the term "Cubism" in 1911 to describe the emerging art movement and the term 'surrealism' in 1917 to describe the works of Erik Satie. The term Orphism 1912 is also his. He wrote poems without punctuation attempting to be resolutely modern in both form and subject. Apollinaire wrote one of the earliest Surrealist literary works the play The Breasts of Tiresias 1917 which became the basis for Francis Poulenc's 1947 opera Les Mamelles de Tirésias. Apollinaire was active as a journalist and art critic for Le Matin L'Intransigeant L'Esprit Nouveau Mercure de France and Paris Journal. In 1912 Apollinaire cofounded Les Soirées de Paris fr an artistic and literary magazine. Two years after being wounded in World War I Apollinaire died in the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918."

ISBN: 0801815665 First American edition. Aries was a French medieval historian and friend of Michel Foucault. He is best known for his book Centuries of Childhood 1962 which presents childhood as a social construction rather than an actual physiological state. The other focus of his academic career somewhat paradoxically was the evolution of western societies' concept of death. In Western Attitudes Towards Death he argues that as religiosity has waned societies have become increasingly reluctant to confront death directly. / "Proposing that there is a permanent relationship between one's idea of death and one's self Aries explains how and why death ceased being a familiar routine forgetting of a self and has become a wild feeling of personal failure." –jacket.

Exlib bookplate and perforated stamps on title-page. Very good. "Bang is considered the founder of modern clinical microchemistry. Some of Bang's earliest investigations were on nucleoproteins and nucleic acid. He elucidated the structure of guanylic acid-previously isolated by Hanunarsten-as a compound of guanine pentose and phosphoric acid in equimolar proportions. This research was a major factor in revealing the framework of the nucleotides. He also performed early work on fat protein and nitrogen metabolism so that he coincidentally developed methods useful to clinical chemistry as he demonstrated "normal" and "abnormal" disease chemical processes of the body."

All was to come to naught however as the plot was never developed & ulitmately sold to settle back taxes et al. Such was to later cause Barton problems however as she was accused of financial malfeasance which ultimately contributed to her 1904 retirement from the Red Cross. Cf. Cavinder MORE AMAZING TALES OF INDIANA pp. 79 - 80. <br /> <br />Early inscribed Barton material is somewhat uncommon in the trade. We are pleased to be able to offer this volume documenting the friendship between these two civic-oriented individuals. Au Siège Comité International de la Croix-Rouge hardcover books

1968253616Hollywood 1968. unbound. 2 pages 10.5 x 7.25 inches Hollywood February 26 1968. Written to Harry Harris of The Philadelphia Inquirer supplying him with a list of what he believes is the ultimate dream show consisting of Philadelphia talent in part: ".It would not be a question of nominating ten people or 'acts' that might make up a well-balanced 'dream show' but rather which network would be able to give us the time to show all of the talents from Philly. However this would be my choice: Bill Cosby as host; Guy Marks - Impressions; Eddie Fisher - doing his Jolson medley; Buddy Greco Frankie Avalon Bobby Rydell Fabian and Al Martino as a group doing 'That Old Gang of Mine'; Susan Barrett singing 'Going Out of my Head'.I would have Mickey Callan dance surrounded by all the broads who ever worked the Latin Casino.I was sorry to see that in your nominations I was not included with the jazz greats as a Jazz Mandolinist or with the concert group as Second Mandolinist or with the string bands as Jewish Mandolinist. However I forgive you for this oversight."
