1982486New York, Norton, 1982 [1950]. Abridged edition of Adorno et al.'s landmark study. A duodecimo softcover book of 130 x 195 mm; (xxv) 493 pp. + 3 pp. of catalog. With a foreword for the Abridged Edition, a foreword by editor Max Horkheimer, numerous tables and figures throughout. Index at the end of the book. "Since its first publication in 1951, when it was hailed as a monumental study which blazes new trails in the investigation of prejudice, this book has remained an essential document for the modern world. Written after the single most evil and deliberate act of the century, it undertook the challenging task of determining scientifically what personality traits characterized the phenomenom of authoritarianism and what internal and external forces allowed for its development." Front cover gapes a little, some rubbing on the front cover and tail, a blue pencil mention at the bottom of the half-title page, paper slightly yellowed.
19760185London, Dialogue Publications Ltd, 1976. in English. Rare 70s publication about the Amazon rainforest, few copies printed. "This is the tenth of a series of papers prepared by the Brazilian Embassy" after a few on the Brazilian development model, inflation control and economic growth, foreign policy, etc. A tall in-4 softcover booklet of 297 x 212 mm. 35 pp. Twelve chapters, many black-and-white pictures, colored maps of Brazil and the Amazon region. List of chapters: The World of the Amazon, the People of the Amazon, the Traditional Economy of Amazonia, the First seven years of the SUDAM project, the New Development Strategy of Polamazonia, the Free Zone of Manaus, the Amazonian Bank of BASA, Agriculture in Amazonia, New Roads in Amazonia, Modern Man in Amazonia, The Traveller in Amazonia and Science and the Amazon. "When the Brazilian Government launched 'Operation Amazonia' in 1966, it rekindled the country's concern for this vast region of forest and river. For most Brazilians, interest in Amazonia had faded since th collapse of the rubber boom and extravagant life that went with it in the early years of this century. But in the past ten years there has been a radical and continuing change in Amazonia's fortunes, the impact of which is already being felt. Today it is not only Brazilians who are interested in Amazonia. The Brazilian Embassy in London receives more requests for information about the region than about any other in the country. The booklet contains as much basic and up to date information on Amazonia as possible: it is intended to serve as a guide for those who are already acquainted with the region's resources and potentialities." This booklet is now almost impossible to find aside from a few higher learning libraries. Issued by a sovereign, developing country, while the rainforest was garnering interest yet had no political stakes as it does today.

19380058Cambridge (MA), Houghton Mifflin Co. / Riverside Press, 1938. First edition of Georges Haynes' classic. Two octavo volumes, 220 x 150 mm each.

Small paper of the "Livraria Agir Editôra", a Rio de Janeiro bookstore, tipped in at the beginning of the first volume. Each vol. has a black-and-white picture as frontispiece. Both volumes show several black-and-white illustrations. Some yellowing and foxing throughout with most pages being toned. All legible, sturdy binding, no bad smell, not ex-library. PP. 340 to 363 (first volume) have slightly folded corners with no damage to the text. "The 1938 publication of George Haynes’ two-volume The Senate of the United States: Its History and Practice instantly made Haynes the nation’s leading academic authority on that institution. Reviewers routinely ranked Haynes’ work with Charles Warren’s monumental three-volume The Supreme Court in United States History, published 15 years earlier. While others had produced major studies examining individual areas of Senate activity, and while Lindsay Rogers had created an extended essay on the institution in defense of unlimited debate, Haynes was the first to attempt a comprehensive history." (Excerpt from the summary on the U.S. Senate's website)
