197190735Johnson Space Center Texas Presumed: U. S. Government Printing Office 1971. Presumed to have been uniquely signed in person. Photograph. Very good. The format is approximately 8 inches by 10 inches. There is a quarter inch white border around the color image. At the bottom edge in the white space there is the following text: ASTRONAUT VANCE D. BRAND. The color image is of the full face of Astronaut Brand in has astronaut space suit showing him from the waist up. Near his ungloved hands is a globe of the earth. Internet research dated this picture as from 1971. Across his chest he has inscribed the photograph as follows "To Randy with Best wishes! Vance Brand." The back of the photograph is blank. Vance DeVoe Brand born May 9 1931 is a retired American naval officer aviator aeronautical engineer test pilot and NASA astronaut. He served as command module pilot during the first U.S.-Soviet joint spaceflight in 1975 and as commander of three Space Shuttle missions. Brand's flight experience includes 9669 flying hours which includes 8089 hours in jets 391 hours in helicopters 746 hours in spacecraft and checkout in more than 30 types of military aircraft. One of the 19 pilot astronauts selected by NASA in April 1966 Brand initially was a crew member in the thermal vacuum chamber testing of the prototype command module alongside astronauts Joe Engle and Dr. Joseph Kerwin and support crewman on Apollos 8 and 13. During the Apollo 13 crisis Brand was CAPCOM during the PC2 burn. Later he was backup Command Module Pilot for Apollo 15 and was likely to be named to the prime crew of Apollo 18 before that mission was canceled. Brand was backup commander for Skylabs 3 and 4. When Skylab 3's CSM had problems with its Reaction Control System Brand was put on standby to command a rescue mission with backup Pilot Don Lind; however the crew stood down when it was decided that the problem did not require the rescue mission to be launched. As an astronaut he held management positions relating to spacecraft development acquisition flight safety and mission operations. Brand flew on four space missions; Apollo–Soyuz STS-5 STS-41-B and STS-35. He commanded three missions. Brand was the last member of his astronaut class to remain active with NASA and was the only Apollo-era astronaut to pilot the Space Shuttle in the post-Challenger era. Brand departed the Astronaut Office in 1992 to become Chief of Plans at the National Aerospace Plane NASP Joint Program Office at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. In September 1994 he moved to California to become Assistant Chief of Flight Operations at the Dryden Flight Research Center then Acting Chief Engineer Deputy Director for Aerospace Projects and Acting Associate Center Director for Programs. He retired from NASA in January 2008. U. S. Government Printing Office unknown

Bound in the original dark blue cloth stamped in bright silver. Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher/Gooogle: "NOT LIKE A RIVER: THE MEMOIR OF AN ACTIVIST ACADEMIC is the oral history of Elmer Rusco a distinguished professor of political science at the University of Nevada in Reno. This memoir is the summation of Professor Rusco's life in civil liberties and civil rights and his pursuit of legal and historical truth. It provides insight into the exceptional scope of Professor Rusco's work and contributions as well as the reasons for his extraordinary lifelong commitment to advancing the cause of social justice. Originally from Kansas Professor Rusco chose to spend more than four decades in Nevada. He was one of the founding group of faculty members of the University of Nevada's Department of Political Science when it separated from the History Department between 1958 and 1963; and he helped establish the reputation of that faculty for teaching public service and mentoring. Professor Rusco was one of the volunteer leaders of the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada that sustained it from its founding in 1966 to 1985 and in the 1970s he served as its state president. Professor Rusco was active in community state and national organizations including those committed to the environment Friends of Rancho San Rafael and Friends of Pyramid Lake religion the Unitarian Universalists civil rights the ACLU Nevada and the Northern Nevada Black Cultural Awareness Society political reform Common Cause legal aid Washoe Legal Services direct help for the poor Community Services Agency and Habitat for Humanity and much more. Professor Rusco's oral history also provides insight into how his religious personal and political philosophy was shaped. The sources were mostly rooted in rural Kansas but also involved a cattleboat excursion that spanned several continents and a Midwesterner's encounters with the Jim Crow South. For Elmer Rusco 'retirement' in 1986 added to his life the time to become the state's leading authority on Nevada's civil rights legacy and its struggle with racism. He was able to complete monumental studies on federal Indian policy and on Nevada's encounters with its Chinese residents in addition to a myriad of published studies on poverty and the black experience in Nevada.".

This study of six historians from the edges of the Roman world at the end of the Republic--the author of I Maccabees, Posidonius, Diodorus Siculus, Pompeius Trogus, Nicolaus of Damascus, and Memnon of Heraclea--combines discussion of their biographical details, the intellectual and elite culture in which they composed, and the methodological difficulties of interpreting fragmentary texts, with textual analysis of their representations of Rome. These authors show remarkable unity in their acceptance of Roman hegemony. Nevertheless, their interpretations of Roman rule assume political significance in the light of their intentions in writing and the audiences whom they addressed. They therefore provide a unique insight into the minds of the conquered peoples and the intellectual culture which allowed them to influence their conquerors. ; Oxford Classical Monographs; 416 pages
