"In a thoroughly documented story that reads with the pace of a thrilling novel, the authors reveal for the first time the record of international intrigue against Soviet Russia since the Revolution of 1917 up to the present minute.

pp. 236; 149 + Engraved frontis portrait. Two volumes in one. Large paper copy, printed on "Carta dei Classici" paper. Slightly foxed. Tall folio. [460 x 315 mm.] Bound in original vellum backed cloth boards. Sallust was a famed Roman historian and politician. He was tribune of the people (52 B.C.) and praetor (46). He was ejected (50) from the senate ostensibly for adultery, but more probably because of his partisanship for Caesar. He served with Caesar after his praetorship and was his governor in Numidia; he was subsequently accused of misusing his governorship for personal gain. His princi pal works are the Bellum Catilinae, on the conspiracy of Catiline and his account of the Jugurthine War, Bellum Jugurthinum. His history of Rome is extant only in fragments; it probably covered the pe riod 78 B.C. to 67 B.C. As a historian Sallust was important as one of the first to write historical monographs dealing with sharply limited events and periods. Although his style is consciously archa ic, it is distinguished by its terseness and directness. His character sketches are particularly impressive and vivid, and his work has found as many imitators as critics - Columbia Encyclopedia. In t his edition, the Latin text is followed by an Italian translation by Vittorio Alfieri da Asti. This beautifully printed Bodoni-like production is extremely scarce. We have been able to locate only three copies in the U.S. Brunet V:88. RARE. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W143

vi, [2], 109 pp. Index. "Who committed the greatest crime of this age? The Italians, Japanese or Germans? Wrong. It is the Allies. They planned it in the Potsdam agreement and got their justification for it in our American Morgenthau Plan. There is nothing in all history to equal it, except perhaps the fact that there is neither an outcry against these atrocities by the peoples of other nations nor any action by goverments with power to take it. This collection of articles is published as one small little outcry against the atrocities of the peace and as one little torchlight against this perhaps greater atrocity, the slimy conspiracy of silence on the part of those who while 'smearing' the vanquished in self-shielding war crimes trials are committing the most large-scale lootings, rapings, and expulsions in literally all of Christian history." - Foreword.

"As a research scientist and product design engineer [the author] has been directly involved with programs and projects for the design and development of portable cell phones, radio frequency mobile radios, microwave telecommunications systems, video display systems, and biological effects research." - vi. "Provides a broad view of the scientific landscape that clearly advises us that there is danger here. Provides a historical accounting of the research that is available, has been available for forty years or more, and has been neglected or buried by an industry that will place its absolute need to sell products above the health and well-being of its own customers. The practice of producing such products can only be viewed as predatory. Offers a commentary on a litany of past research studies, hundreds of research studies from the 1950s through the mid-1990s. These older studies are alarming in their findings of radiation exposure, DNA damage, chromosome damage, tissue damage, radiation absorption, cataract formation, tumor formation, memory loss, motor skills degradation, and more." - ix-x.

1968140947056New York: The Pacifist Anarchist Bisexual Psychedelic Conspiracy 1968. Four original 8.5 x 11" single-sided leaflets on various colors of paper by a student group calling itself The Pacifist Anarchist Bisexual Psychedelic Conspiracy which displayed a punky insouciance that was ten years ahead of its time. One titled "Fuck You Punk Freshmen" envisions the first-year students as the oppressed masses who get a talking-to from the group and advice to "smoke dope. gethigh.high." and "ORGASM." Another leaflet is dated in the then-future October 2001 and lists a bunch of abbreviations of radical groups at the time starting with S.D.S. All but the "Freshmen" leaflet are in Near Fine condition; that one shows creases from being folded in eighths. Rare fanciful concrete poetry-influenced and sometimes obtuse protest art from the height of the 1960s at Columbia University. [The Pacifist Anarchist Bisexual Psychedelic Conspiracy] unknown
