pp.x, 235. "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

194 + xiv pages. Index. "This book tells the story of who caused the slump (Great Depression) and how they caused it, and it directs attention to two simple steps that can be taken to save our farmers and traders... The depression from which we now suffer is due to an artificially induced variation in the purchasing power of money. In these pages will be found ample evidence in support of this statement. The quarter from which the trouble is coming is indicated, and the amazing manner in which the machinery for monetary control of the world was established is traced out." - from Introduction.

pp. (4), 318. Uncut and unopened. 4to. [310 x 245 mm.] Deckle edged. Foxed. Later half-morocco leather binding. John Baskerville (1706-1775) was the greatest printer of his era. Born in Wolverley, Hereford - Worcester, England, he became a writing master in Birmingham. He also carried on a successful japanning (varnishing) business there. In about 1750 he began to make experiments in letter founding, and produced the wonderful series of types now named after him. His first book, the Virgil of 1757, was also the first to be printed upon wove paper (manufactured by a process that he invented). In 1758 he be came printer to Cambridge University. All of his books bear show fine craftsmanship and a refined sense of design. In the last few years before his death, Baskerville published a few Latin classics in quarto and duodecimo. "All these bear the marks of unabated genius even in his declining days: and suffice, had he printed nothing else, to distinguish him as the first typographer of his time" - T. B. Reed, in 'Old English Letter Foundries'. Obviously, unopened Baskerville quartos are uncommon and significant. Gaskell 51; Brunet V:87; Grasse VI:242. EXTREMELY RARE. W113.

This copy is a 1957 second printing of the 1956 first edition. 310 pages. Black and white photographic plates. "For thirty-seven years Harry M. Hoxsey has been one of the most controversial figures in American medicine. During that period thousands of patients - many of them declared "hopeless" by their own doctors - have taken the Hoxsey treatment. Today, five, ten, in some instances twenty years later, a suprising number of them are still alive, apparently in good health, with no discernible evidence of the deadly disease. They hail Hoxsey as a modern 'miracle man'. On the other hand, he has been branded as 'America's Number One Cancer Quack and Charlatan' - his treatment denounced as worthless... Convinced his treatment can save as many as eight out of ten cancer victims if applied in time, Dr. Hoxsey has undertaken in this book to bring his startling story in full before the public for the first time." - from dust jacket.

Led by Arthur Thistlewood the event known as the Cato Street Conspiracy was an attempt to murder all of the ministers and prime minister of King George IV in 1820. Motivated in part by the economic depression of the period the conspirators wished to avenge earlier protests suppressed by the state such as the Paterloo Massacre. The conspirator's goal was to overthrow the government and initiate a revolution similar to the French Revolution. Betrayed by one of the co-conspirators Thistlewood and four others were captured tried and executed. There are many accounts of this trial nearly all published in London. This account by a Barr is rare. Library Hub locates 1 copy at the British Library.
