From a 2023 Goodreads review by MB: "They Died in the Darkness. 'Today the mine is about worked out but the black old tipple still stands a somber reminder that deep down 685 feet vertical the burned and decomposed bodies were hoisted into the daylight that they could not see because they died in the darkness p. 47. 'Many men came to the West Virginia mines to lose their identity p. 82. 'The coal was the thick Pittsburgh Seam high enough for horses to be used to haul the coal to the partings and thence to the bottom. Two stables underground contained these animals around the clock. Once inside the mine they stayed until crippled or useless; then they were brought topside and turned to pasture usually blind from being too long in total darkness p. 183. ''What a somber sight to see men blackened by coal dust with electric lamps on their hats come from a dark hole in the ground with a burden under a canvas covering or blanketed blackened by coal dust a lump of clay molded by God and living a few hours before and now in eternity. One wife collapsed at the knowledge that the lump on the stretcher was her husband p. 257. 'It is a sobering book poetic and brutal in its language bleak and tragic in its subject matter but most of all it is an excellent homage to the victims both the miners and their families of the numerous mine tragedies in West Virginia from 1886 to 1968. Lacy A. Dillon describes the hopeless and fatalistic working conditions miners labored under and some of the unforgiving social conditions that forced them down in the darkness. Going down into the mines was a gamble; some men willingly took that gamble and others had no choice. Dillons book is fascinating and harsh. As other reviewers point out the book is tough to come by. I think that Dillon wanted to honor and remember the lost lives of the heroic miners and didnt care much for the monetary gains of writing a book.". 1st ed No additional printings listed. Hardcover.

[ECONOMICS] [MILITARIA] Von NEUMANN, John; MORGENSTERN, OskarBiblio.com

Theory of Games and Economic Behavior

194785730Princeton New Jersey: Princeton University Press 1947. Revised Second Edition. Octavo. 24cm. Publisher's deep brown cloth with red and gilt titles to spine. Dustjacket. xviii; 641pp. Some light scuffing to corners and a little light bumping and rubbing to the spine ends clean and bright; topstain red internally clean and fresh with some informed underlining and emphasis from a previous reader in the early part of the text; in a clean dustjacket with a portion of loss to the joint of the front and rear flaps toning most heavily to the spine panel and shallow chipping and loss to the spine ends with old tape reinforcement to the verso of the jacket. A very good handsome copy of an important book in a dustjacket that has seen some wear. Shows very well.<br /> <br /> Von Neumann and Morgenstern were the first theorists to build a framework for the analysis of strategic decision making ostensibly in "game" environments but essentially expanding that framework out over a significant portion of human interactions. The basic supporting member is that each decision maker will attempt to improve their own situation and maximize their own outcomes thus making their choices at least partially predictable and measurable. Much like Mackay's "Extraordinary Popular Delusions" "The Madness of Crowds" in 1841 "Theory of Games" is one of those works that changed enormously how we think about human interaction and the concepts of free will and independent decision making. The influence of this work has in one form or another extended into a myriad of different fields; from military intelligence via the stock market and economic to computing and how we decide to lay out supermarket shelves. Fiercely collectible since publication early printings are thin on the ground. Princeton University Press unknown
