1940C1549<p>295 pages. small octavo 7 3/4" x 5 1/2" bound in original publisher's black cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Signed by the author. First edition.<br /><br />At the end of his life Lasker wrote "<em>The Community of the Future</em>" - a book in which he tried to put down his idea for an ideal society. Two problems were especially dear to his heart: the fate of the European Jews and the problem of unemployment. To solve the first Lasker proposed Alaska as a possible place for immigration - a proposal that at that time did not sound as absurd as it may sound today. Lasker also thought about the origin of antisemitism and identified unemployment as one of the main reasons that made people turn against the Jews. His remedy against unemployment was the idea to erect camps modeled after the Kibbuz system in Israel to train people for the job-market.<br /><br />Not only was Emanuel Laster World Chess Champion for 27 years - longer than any other player before or after him - but he also held a PhD in Mathematics published a number of philosophical works wrote one drama and regularly commented upon political events. In his prime Lasker was one of the most dominant champions and he is generally regarded as one of the strongest players ever. He finally lost the title to Capablanca in 1921. Lasker demanded high fees for playing matches and tournaments which aroused some criticism. He had seen how Steinitz's life had ended in poverty and was determined to avoid this fate. The conditions which Lasker demanded for World Championship matches in the last ten years of his reign were controversial and prompted attempts to define rules for championship matches. Lasker was also a talented mathematician and his Ph.D. thesis is regarded as one of the foundations of modern algebra. He was a first-class contract bridge player and wrote about this and other games including Go and his own invention <em>Lasca</em>. Emanuel Lasker was the son of a Jewish cantor. At the age of eleven he was sent to Berlin to study mathematics where he lived with his brother Berthold eight years his senior who taught him how to play chess. To supplement their income Emanuel Lasker played chess and card games for small stakes especially at the Cafe Kaiserhof. In 1890 he finished third in Graz then shared first prize with his brother Berthold in a tournament in Berlin. In spring 1892 he won two tournaments in London the second and stronger of these without losing a game. At New York 1893 he won all thirteen games one of the few times in chess history that a player has achieved a perfect score in a significant tournament. In 1892 Lasker founded the first of his chess magazines <em>The London Chess Fortnightly</em> which was published from August 15 1892 to July 30 1893. In the second quarter of 1893 there was a gap of ten weeks between issues allegedly because of problems with the printer. Shortly after its last issue Lasker traveled to the USA where he spent the next two years. The match was played in 1894 at venues in New York Philadelphia and Montreal. Steinitz had previously declared he would win without doubt so it came as a shock when Lasker won the first game. Steinitz responded by winning the second and was able to maintain the balance through the sixth. However Lasker won all the games from the seventh to the eleventh and Steinitz asked for a week's rest. When the match resumed Steinitz looked in better shape and won the 13th and 14th games. Lasker struck back in the 15th and 16th and Steinitz was unable to compensate for his losses in the middle of the match. Hence Lasker won convincingly with ten wins five losses and four draws. Lasker thus became the second recognized World Chess Champion and confirmed his title by beating Steinitz even more convincingly in their re-match in 1896-1897 ten wins five draws and two losses.<br /><br /><strong>Condition:</strong><br /><br />Signed on the front end paper with a stamp "Chess Festival Chamber of Commerce Sonoma California" corners bumped small split at spine head ring stains to cover else about very good.</p> M J Bernin hardcover

Pages toned with light scattered foxing throughout mostly limited to pages 193-209; overall unmarked legible and pleasing. The second work by the first native-born American woman novelist it has become quite scarce. Currently the only first edition on the market this title has appeared only three times at auction since 1983.<br/><br/>The rare second novel by best-selling Massachusetts author Hannah Webster Foster. Only one year before the release of her epistolary novel The Coquette made Foster a literary sensation. "Not only was it the first novel written by a native-born American woman in its depiction of an intelligent and strong-willed heroine the novel transcends many of the conventions of its time and place" History of American Women. Her sophomore release was no less important. Continuing to deploy the popular epistolary form of its predecessor The Boarding School "promotes improved female education through its depiction of an exemplary boarding school teacher" and remained "equally concerned with the status of women in the early republic" ANB. At a time when the fledgling nation was debating women's status and establishing its earliest statutes on schooling Foster uses her platform to argue "the many advantages of a good education and the importance of improving those advantages." Dividing the work into two key sections Foster uses the first portion to describe "the finishing school run by Mrs. Maria Williams including exhortations on social conduct reading and general preparations for survival"; meanwhile the second portion is dedicated to "letters from the students to the teacher and to each other demonstrating the beneficial effects of Mrs. William's instruction" History of American Women. Recent scholarship has emphasized that The Boarding School builds upon an already central concern in Foster's prior novel: "the crucial role played by tightly knit circles of women" which "would have been deeply resonant to the young women who were her primary readers" Pettengill. Like The Coquette her second book "portrays women during the crucial transition in their lives from daughterhood to wife-and-motherhood from parental to husbandly authority. But the boarding school set is younger with school days still fresh in their memories and the complications of courtship and marriage only just coming into their range of vision.in The Boarding School the male world is shadowy and vague.not yet jostling the women with demands that threaten even as they support the logical self-sufficiency of sisterhood and the female sphere" Pettengill. By bridging the didactic advice book with the epistolary novel Foster suggests that women need education as "the foundation of a useful and happy life" and that school provides them with this as well as with a lifelong female community built on shared experience. The "perfect Republican mother" Mrs. Williams provides the girls with the perfect model on which to base themselves giving Foster a means for arguing that women must educate other women in order to create a strong and lasting national foundation Newton. <br/><br/>BAL 6242.

Among other positions he was an archdeacon in charge of administering a diocese or part of it under the orders of the bishop he was appointed vicar general; He was also appointed as the schoolmaster which means that he was in charge of teaching the ecclesiastical scenes as well as archbishop of Santo Domingo but whether or not he took office is unknown. the pope appointed him delegate of the Augustinian cause over the alternative he died on June 1 1653.<br /><br />Bernardino Alvarez 1514–1584 promoted the formation of a congregation to take care of the ill founding the hospital in 1569. This congregation was given all the privileges of which the Brothers Hospitallers of St. John of God enjoyed. The Brothers remained as a congregation until 1700 when the petition of Hipolitos and Pope Innocence XII gave them the possibility of making chastity votes poorness obedience and hospitality under the rule of San AgustÃn. The San Hipólito Brothers' order was important for New Spain because seven hospitals were under their charge six of which were founded by money obtained from alms. One of those was San Hipólito hospital also founded by Bernardino Ãvarez. He was a priest born on Rosales León Spain. He studied humanities and Latin on a preceptorship located on Vegarienza León. He did his training prior making his vows before being a member of the religious institute on El Escorial Monastery where he finalized his novitiate in September 22 1531. He worked in Rome in the Real Monastery in the Ucles Monastery and in Santiago Monastery. He became a priest in 1538. He went back to Spain where he worked as a teacher in El Escorial Monastery. Bernardino Ãlvarez was imprisoned on August 6 1547. When he was released he went to Mexico after the fall of Tenochtitlan. When he arrived he started the religious order of the Hipólitos. He founded San Hipolito Hospital and "Santa Cruz" hospital in Oaxtepec Morelos Mexico. This hospital was also dedicated for patients with mental diseases. During the next years he opened other hospitals one in Puebla that was named "San Roque" which was for female psychiatric patients another one in Jalapa Veracruz called "La Concepción" and one in Acapulco Guerrero. Ãlvarez decided the foundation of five hospitals in Mexico was not enough so he traveled to Mesoamerica and founded more hospitals than he expected all the way from La Habana Cuba to Mexico. The information about his death is nonexistent but it is known that today there is a tribute to the priest on the Hospital de Jesús.<br /><br />Luis GarcÃa Pimentel 1835-1930 He was the son of and the also bibliographer and historian JoaquÃn GarcÃa Icazbalceta.

158636N.p.: N.p. 1971. Vintage two-color poster for an unseen performance by punk icons the Stooges queer hippie theatre troupe the Cockettes all-girl rock group The GTOs and John Mendelsohn's short-lived rock band Super Star held at the Hollywood Palladium on July 16 1971. The show would ultimately be canceled after The Stooges formally broke up on July 9 1971.<br /> <br /> A preview of The Cockettes' satirical 1971 film "Tricia's Wedding" was also to have been shown. The film featured The Cockettes reenacting President Nixon's daughter Tricia's wedding to Edward Cox interspersed with a number of humorous scenes including Eartha Kitt spiking the punch bowl with LSD.<br /> <br /> Even before it was canceled it's hard to imagine how this concert would have come together given the clashing styles of the acts. Founded in 1969 in San Francisco the Cockettes were a performance art group that performed improvised musical numbers in elaborate genderbending costumes and had become a sensation among the West Coast arts and culture scene. The GTOs were a satirical rock band formed in Los Angeles with ties to Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa who would produce the band's only album Permanent Damage 1969. And the Stooges were simply the Stooges.<br /> <br /> 11.25 x 26 inches. About Near Fine. N.p. unknown
