HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -<br /> Jack Dann emerged as one of the important literary voices of modern speculative fiction helping expand the genre beyond traditional adventure narratives into psychologically complex and experimental territory.<br /> <br /> The stories in Timetipping blend science fiction fantasy mysticism and surrealism often using time travel and metaphysical settings to explore memory identity alienation and consciousness rather than technology alone. Stories such as The Dybbuk Dolls weave Jewish folklore into psychological horror while Junction transforms New York City into a symbolic landscape of fractured perception and urban isolation.<br /> <br /> Roger Zelazny's introduction places Dann within the New Wave movement that reshaped speculative fiction during the 1960s and 1970s. This signed copy from the library of influential SF reviewer and editor D. Douglas Fratz and retaining its original Doubleday review slip remains closely tied to the professional reviewing and fandom culture that sustained literary science fiction in the late twentieth century.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: Jack Dann Roger Zelazny D.

2001A0812xvi220 pages with figures maps tables plates appendix bibliography and index. Octavo 9" x 6" bound in original wrappers. Inscribed by the author. First edition.<br /><br />Based on their enormously complex calendars that recorded cycles of many kinds the Aztecs and other ancient Mesoamerican civilizations are generally believed to have had a cyclical rather than linear conception of time and history. This boldly revisionist book challenges the understanding. Ross Hassig offers convincing evidence that for the Aztecs time was predominantly linear that it was manipulated by the state as a means of controlling a dispersed tribute empire and that the Conquest cut off state control and severed the unity of the calendar leaving only the lesser cycles. From these he asserts we have inadequately reconstructed the pre-Columbian calendar and so misunderstood the Aztec conception of time and history. Hassig first presents the tradition explanation of the Aztec calendrical system and its ideological functions and then marshals contrary evidence to argue that the Aztec elite deliberately used calendars and timekeeping to achieve practical political ends. He further traces how the Conquest played out in the temporal realm as Spanish conceptions of time partially displaced the Aztec one. His findings promise to revolutionize our understanding of how the Aztecs and other Mesoamerican societies conceived of time and history.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Inscribed on title.

Wolff I #181. <br> American labor publication preaching an internationalist position on War crimes--punish the German Fascists not the Germans. A good example of the pre-Nuremberg debates in the US and elsewhere about how to deal with nazi war crimes. <br> Booklet includes a brief timeline of concentration camps in Germany from their beginnings in 1933 until the beginning of the war in 1939 based on period reports. <br> William Ernest Hocking 1873-1966 was an American idealist philosopher at Harvard University. He continued the work of his philosophical teacher Josiah Royce the founder of American idealism in revising idealism to integrate and fit into empiricism naturalism and pragmatism.

His 22 books included works on philosophy and human rights freedom of the press and human nature. <br> Here he argues that we owe something to those Germans who fought against the inevitable until a million and a quarter had been in the Nazi concentration camps 15 per cent of whom were Jews and 85 per cent non-Jews while we of the Western powers smiled on and appeased their prosecutors. <br> The American Association for a Democratic Germany included among its officers: Reinhoild Nieburh and Dorothy Thompson as Vice-Chairmen and William Ernest Hocking Charles LaFollette Kenesaw Mountain Landis III and Victor Reuther among the members of the National Committee. <br> From its Statement of Purpose its stated aim was "To Foster the development of genuine democracy in Germany. Only if the common people of Germany get help in establishing democratic ways and educating their children to democratic living can Germany be a healthy peaceful state and can Europe and the world be safe.
