193432450Washington DC: Nervous and Mental Disease Publishing Co 1934. First edition. Original black cloth blocked in green; xvi 437 pp. one ad leaf. 3 inch crack in rear endpaper but a very good copy. Illustrations in black red blue and green. There is an inscription on the front endpaper indicating its use by the War Office Selection Board in 1942. The Board was a scheme by British Army psychiatrists to discover and develop officer candidates and Moreno's sociometrics were influential in Eric Trist and Wilfred Bion's experiment of Regimental Nomination where units were encouraged to nominate candidates.<br/>Linton C. Freeman identified four defining properties of social network analysis: 1 It involves the intuition that links among social actors are important. 2 It is based on the collection and analysis of data that record social relations that link actors. 3 It draws heavily on graphic imagery to reveal and display the patterning of those links. And 4 it develops mathematical and computational models to describe and explain those patterns.<br/>He wrote "Until the 1930s however no one had used all four properties at the same time. Modern social network analysis was introduced by a psychiatrist Jacob L. Moreno and a psychologist Helen Jennings. They conducted elaborate research first among the inmates of a prison later in a reform school for girls. Moreno and Jennings named their approach sociometry." A chapter on psychological geography anticipates the work of the Lettrist International.<br/><br/>"Moreno founded psychodrama and pioneered group psychotherapy. Apart from its psychiatric and sociological significance this work contained some of the earliest graphic depictions of social networks— data visualization methods later applied to numerous other disciplines. These images were later called sociograms." Garrison-Morton-Norman 7700. <br/><br/> Nervous and Mental Disease Publishing Co hardcover books

Edition rinted by Artisans Imprimeurs F. LefÄvre Paris. 5" x 7" Original wrappers glassine card slipcase. Very fine unopened.<br/><br/> “Painter René Rimbert mentioned in a letter to Jacob that if his expected child were to be a girl he would name her Saskia after Rembrandts’s young wife. In his answer Jacob pointed out that Saskia is not a Christian name and that it is important not to subject a child to lifelong ridicule. This exchange of letters gave him the impetus to write the charming story.†P.188 Black & Green. The story concerns a girl who is named Saskia much against her mother’s wishes. The inscription reflects Jacob’s intention of writing a playful parable for a young person “What better processes to delight the father than to love his children.â€<br/><br/> Jacob’s influence on modern French poetry was profound and his modernist lyrical verse is still widely read. Encyclopedia Britannica notes of Jacob: he “played a decisive role in the new directions of modern poetry during the early part of the 20th century. His “novels†mainly epistolary are exercises in verbal mimicry reproducing every nuance in the conversation of the petitbourgeois of whom he was a sardonic but affectionate observer as in Le Nom. He influenced many of his contemporaries and toward the end of his life was surrounded by a devoted group of younger and older artists.â€<br/><br/> Ref: online Encyclopedia Britannica: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/298950/MaxJacob; Black Moishe & Maria Green Ed and trans. “Hesitant Fire: Selected Prose of Max Jacob†U of Nebraska Press 1991.

This is the most advanced textbook on Cosmic Physics and Meteorology of its time. "His acclaimed textbook on physics and meteorology Elements de physique experimentale et de meteorologie was published in four parts.6 Also it was translated into German by Johann Heinrich Jakob Muller and published with the title Lehrbuch der Physik und Meteorologie." – Wikip. "Pouillet's lectures — which were partially collected in his Elements de physique experimentale et de meteorologie 1927 and in the Lecons de physique de la Faculte des sciences 1828 — were widely read. Pouillet published a popular account of Elements in 1850. Although offering no spectacular novelties they presented in clear language a survey of the state of the various branches of physics and of recent developments in them." – DSB XI p. 111. / A much revised and expanded version of what was originally Pouillet's Elements de Physique Experimentale et de Meteorologie 1827 which Muller translated into Lehrbuch der Physik und Meteorologie 1842 and then expanded with the supplement Lehrbuch der Kosmischen Physik 1856. It was eventually taken to a ninth edition by Pfaundler 1886-98 and finally revised and expanded yet again by Pfaundler into this final edition including an additional volume Magnetismus und Elektrizitat 1909 written by Walter Kaufmann 1871-1947 and Alfred Coehn 1863-1938. The final version unifies almost a century's worth of effort in various disciplines into a single textbook. F. Vieweg, 1905-7, 1909. hardcover books
