192818388Boston: The Stratford Company. Very Good in Good dj. 1928. First Edition. Hardcover. nice-looking book gilt lettering on spine and front cover bright as new slight bumping to bottom corners shallow dent at edge of rear cover light soiling to fore-edge; jacket a bit tattered tears/chips at all corners about one inch paper loss to base of spine. The author undertakes in this book to address the "most serious maladjustment between life and religion" that he feels to be manifest in American Judaism. As the jacket blurb states: "Even the professing Orthodox Jew must admit that between the demands of religion and the call of modern American life the chasm is widening daily." However by "following a proper historical perspective" he explains how to discover "the vital seed of self-preservation and ideal self-adjustment to prevailing conditions of life" that lies within Judaism itself. This is a review copy with the original publisher's slip laid in indicating that it was originally sent for review to the Literary Editor of the California Jewish Review in Los Angeles. .

Head and tail of spine and corners slightly bumped and rubbed. Some staining and scuffing to boards. "In this book I have tried to describe the political and economic forces which operated to divide the Jewish people into two factions during the wars between Syria and Egypt the one favoring the Ptolemies and the other the Seleucides. I have attempted to analyze the underlying forces which brought about the emergence of the Hellenistic party under the leadership of Menelaus and its policy towards the Jewish State; the revolt under Hasmonean leadership on the one hand against the Hellenistic who were committed to a policy of assimilation and on the other hand against the Hassidim whose philosophy would ultimately have resulted in national suicide; and finally the establishment of the Jewish State on a more democratic basis."

19281271Leningrad: printed by the author typography of the Academy of Arts 1928. 47 1 pp. 245x18 cm. One of 1200 copies. Original illustrated wrappers. Few tears of the spine otherwise in a very good condition. <br /> First and only edition. The book summarizes the works of Solomon Yudovin 1892-1954 Jewish Belorussian and Soviet artist the distinct representative of 'the Jewish renaissance'. <br /> Solomon Yudovin was no doubt one of the figures who helped to define and picture the face of Jewish art of the first quarter of the 20th century. As a young man he participated in the ethnographic expeditions organized by his uncle Semyon An-Skiy 1863-1920 and the Jewish Historical Ethnographical Society across the Pale of Settlement in Ukraine and Belarus. The goal of these expeditions held in 1912-1914 was to capture the everyday life and culture of the people across the Pale. Yudovin worked as a photographer artist and secretary and as a result had collected a lot of data on the Jewish household items ritual accessories gravestones matzevah synagogue paintings Jewish ornaments etc. These ornaments pictured by Yudovin have influenced all the artists who were working in traditional style at the time like Rybak and Lissitzky and became an important element of Jewish visual culture. He experimented with photos from the expeditions in the method of photo-impressionism but soon has found his main style in woodcuts and linotypes. <br /> Yudovin was active in Vitebsk in the first years after the revolution of 1917 where he collaborated with Marc Chagall. In 1918 he participated in the decoration of the city of Vitebsk for the parade of the first anniversary of October Revolution - the occasion for which Chagall famously did an open call to all the local artists in the newspaper 'Izvestiya Vitebskogo Gubernskogo Soveta' urging them to produce 'big and expressive' posters. Next year Chagall and Yudovin participated in the exhibition of Jewish artists in Vitebsk. In 1941-42 Yudovin created a series of woodcuts picturing Leningrad under siege and the series became one of his best-known works.<br /> This book consists of 49 woodcuts and also includes the list of all the woodcuts and linotypes produced by the artist to the day. printed by the author, typography of the Academy of Arts unknown
195929047London: Macmillan & Co. LTD 1959. First Edition. Cloth. Fine. First Edition. 2 V-VI 1595-1670 pp. 10 3/8 x 7 3/8 inches. Modern black cloth printed paper spine label. Bookplate of Andras Gedeon on front pastedown. Cloth. "The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1977 was divided one half jointly to Roger Guillemin and Andrew V. Schally "for their discoveries concerning the peptide hormone production of the brain" and the other half to Rosalyn Yalow "for the development of radioimmunoassays of peptide hormones.Rosalyn Yalow was a nuclear physicist. She developed radioimmunoassay RIA together with doctor Solomon Berson. RIA is used to measure small concentrations of substances in the body such as hormones in the blood. Yalow and Berson tracked insulin by injecting radioactive iodine into patients' blood. Because the method is so precise they were able to prove that type 2 diabetes is caused by the body's inefficient use of insulin. Previously it was thought that the disease was caused by a lack of insulin." Nobel Prize Org<br /> <br /> The most often referenced paper by Yalow and Berson is their 1960 paper see below published in JCI "where for the first time they described the pattern and quantity of insulin released in response to ingestion of sugar. The paper included data for normal subjects Type II diabetics and patients with a variety of other disorders.This long paper contains many important discoveries." Straus p 151<br /> <br /> "It is not surprising that the 1960 article "Immunoassay of endogenous plasma insulin in man" by Yalow and Berson holds a record as one of the most cited articles ever published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.While a skeptic might note that most of the frequently cited articles in the literature are focused on methodology in this case while the paper superficially appears to be only a description of a method to assay insulin it actually marks a revolution in biology and medicine.Immunoassays provided a method by which minute quantities of virtually any biologically interesting moldecules present in blood or other fluids could be measure with sensitivity and specificity even in the presence of hundreds of thousands of other substances.they successfully applied the technique of immunoassay to the analysis of many other hormones and substances leading to breakthrough insights into multiple disease states." Kahn and Roth p 1051<br /> <br /> We believe the present paper is a fundamental building block because it was a pre-cursor to the 1960 work showing for the first time that insulin could be measured in human rather than animal blood. "It took Yalow and Berson several years of work including detailed studies and mathematical models of the quantitative aspects of the reaction between insulin and antibody and evaluation of the species specificity of available antisera that they had raised in guinea pigs and rabbits before theoretical concepts of the RIA method could be translated into measurements of circulating insulin. They honed the technique with measurements of beef and other animal insulinis using antibody in the plasma of their human subjects. Finally in their 1959 paper that appeared in Nature as here they were measuring the insulin in human blood." Straus p151<br /> <br /> It is interesting to note that the establishment found their work to be implausible: "Immunologists of the mid 1950s did not believe that insulin was immunogenic - hence the JCI rejection." of a 1955 a paper Yalow and Berson submitted to JCI that laid the groundwork for the insulin immunoassay was rejected for publication.<br /> <br /> "Yalow was the second woman after Gerty Cori and the first American-born woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. ""Wikipedia"<br /> <br /> "First radioimmunoassay of a hormone a test capable of estimating nonogram or even picogram quantities. For this technique Yalow shared the 1977 Nobel Prize with R. Guillemin and A. Schally."
