The most popular botany textbook of its time and the first book by education activists Phelps the present is surprisingly scarce in trade. It last appeared at auction in 1989 and this is presently the only copy on the market.<br/><br/>A pioneer in American women's education Almira Phelps began her career tutoring students of the all-male Middlebury College in science mathematics and philosophy. "This experience illustrated the disparity between education available for men and for women and Almira spent the rest of her life fighting for more educational opportunities for females" History of American Women. Joining forces with her sister Emma Willard the founder of the Troy Female Seminary in New York Phelps began to teach rigorous humanities and science courses in addition to lecturing publicly on behalf of women's rights for equal education. Phelps established herself as a frontrunner in the field publishing ten books on the education of women. The present work is the first of these and it brought her into dialogue with earlier British women citizen-scientists such as Priscilla Wakefield and Jane Marcet. Like her predecessors Phelps wanted to make the study of botanical science accessible to readers bringing them into contact with the field's vocabularies and practices and encouraging them to find opportunities for study in the areas around them. Yet her book pushed this movement to the next level as it was designed specifically for the use of advanced schools. To this end it is designed for classroom instruction includes a note To Teachers and provides at rear sections on Vocabulary Analysis and a functional index. Ultimately Familiar Lectures on Botany made it possible for instructors -- especially women -- to improve the method and practice of their lessons by referring to Phelps' own tried and true methods. And it made botanical education of a more rigorous kind available to a new generation of students.<br/><br/>Ogilvie's Women in Science 147. History of American Women. H. and F.J.

195225980Indianapolis/New York: The Bobbs-Merrill Company. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1952. First Edition. Hardcover. price-clipped minor wear to book at spine ends and lower extremities; jacket is edgeworn with a few small nicks here and there a couple of tiny tears at several corners small chip at top front hinge. A sort of psychological suspense novel set immediately after the war 1946 concerning an editorial writer on a large New England newpaper who's suffering from what sounds a bit like PTSD: "Before the war and when he first came home his family consisting of a wife and three children were a happy close-knit family. Now he is withdrawn a touchy stranger of whom the boys are a little afraid." And he's afraid too: "not of atom bombs or a war with Russia but of something. At first he cannot see the face of his fear or put a name to it but it is there. He believes it is his problem alone that he can keep his family out of it but of course they are deeply involved from the first minute. Step by step Ethan comes closer to losing his grip." Honestly this author scares me a little bit. There's something in his eyes and the set of his jaw in his rear-jacket portrait photo that kind of spells trouble -- all the more so when one notes that like his protagonist he was a New England newspaperman who served in the war -- and "likes to collect old firearms"! -- and promises that his next novel "will be full of violence."!!!!. That next novel was about ten years in coming: published in 1961 and entitled "Native to the Grain" it was about a seventy-ish woman who fights the good fight to keep her family mill open when her New England town wants to shut it down. "Full of violence" though Not so much. Maybe the author got the violence out of his system by some other means. Maybe I shouldn't speculate too much about that. .
