Generally excellent.</p><p>A rare series of three consecutively printed dissertations 2 of them illustrated on the flora of Brazil diligently recorded in standard Linnaean form by Carl Thunberg Linnaeus' foremost disciple and the greatest botanical explorer and collector of his day. The specimens were collected by Georg Wilhelm Freyreiss in his travels to Minas Gerais Brazil in 1814-15. Only eight species out of the thirty described by Thunberg in these booklets had been studied until recently Moraes Smedt and Hjertson. Most of the specimens can still be found today at Uppsala University.</p><p>Although the dissertations are separately signed by Billberg Ahlberg and Holm Reyment notes that the work in each case was Thunberg's since it was customary for the professor to write the thesis which his students would then defend in public. Each dissertation is in the form of a scientific description of 10 different species of which several appear to be named and described for the first time: for example Billberg's thesis notes two <em>Lobelia</em> one <em>Begonia</em> and one <em>Euphorbia</em>; Ahlberg'sseveral orchids <em>Epidendrum Cymbidium</em> sp. nightshades <em>Solanum</em> sp. and a type of wild basil <em>Ocymum</em>; and Holm's a species of bromeliad <em>Billbergia speciosa</em>. Two of the theses are illustrated with detailed depictions of the specimens involved on large folding engravings.</p><p>Carl Peter Thunberg 1743-1828 rector of the University of Uppsala earned the epithets "father of South African botany" and "the Japanese Linnaeus." Of the disciples whom Linnaeus sent off on far-flung collecting journeys Thunberg traveled the furthest reaching South Africa Indonesia Japan where in order to be admitted he had to pass himself off as a Dutch Protestant merchant and Sri Lanka. Thunberg is cited in naming some 254 species of plants and animals though significantly more plants than animals and authoring more than 160 monographs and scientific papers.</p><p>OCLC: 3 parts together at NYPL U.

1942361083Tokyo: Burajiru ni Okeru Nihonjin Hattenshi Kanko Iinkai Publication Committee for the History of Japanese Development in Brazil 1942. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. A two-volume history of the Japanese in Brazil by a one-time California resident who helped open Brazil for the Japanese. The first Japanese immigrants settled in Brazil in 1908 not coincidentally the year after the Gentleman's Agreement restricted immigration to the United States. The new arrivals mostly pursued coffee cultivation around Sao Paulo.<br/> <br/> The first volume covers the diplomatic agreements and legal framework for Japanese immigrants in Brazil. The second volume describes the various colonies established successful businesses and offers biographies of some pioneers. These volumes were published to coincide with the 2600th anniversary of Japan a milestone used to stoke the flames of nationalism in the early 1940s. These books were reprinted in the 1950s when Japanese immigration to Brazil boomed again and then again in the 1990s.<br/> <br/> Aoyagi was a major proponent of Japanese emigration and for the establishment of colonies in the Americas. He arrived in California in the 1890s was the first Japanese to visit Peru and then led the push for agricultural colonies in Brazil negotiating the agreements to allow settlements and agricultural exports. Aoyagi was also instrumental in negotiating for Japanese government funds to buy land in Brazil for immigrant farmers. See Azuma In Search of Our Frontier pp. 110ff for more on Aoyagi's efforts in Brazil.<br/> <br/> "A general history of Japanese emigration to Brazil and the economic achievements of Japanese immigrants from 1908 to 1939.

1890363568Rio de Janeiro Brazil: Photographia do Commercio 1890. A group of six carte-de-visite format albumen prints likely dating from the 1890s. The subjects are all Afro-Brazilians posed standing with their right arm resting on a piece of furniture a table a chair a pedestal. Five of the six images have printed backs identifying them as originating from Photographia do Commercio Rua da Carioca no. 40 Rio de Janeiro. These printed backs are in two styles both similar but one is smaller than the other. The sixth image has no identifying information but the distinctive pattern of the cloth on the table visible in the image places it in the same photo studio.<br /> <br /> Wilhelm Gaensby 1843–1928 emigrated to Brazil from Switzerland with his parents when he was five in 1848. He learned photography from Alberto Henschel and opened his own studio in Salvador in 1875. About 1893 he moved to Rio de Janeiro keeping his original studio in operation. A number of albums of Gaensby's landscape and scenic photographs survive but little has been written about his studio work. Perhaps the best survey of his career can be found in the chapter devoted to him in Os Fotógrafos do Império Editora Capivara 2005; translated from Brésil: Les premiers photographes d'un empire sous les Tropiques; Gallimard 2005. Generally very good or better. Medium contrast images tending towards sepia tones. Photographia do Commercio unknown

N°3-4, de juillet-décembre 2000, de la 4è série, tome 121 de la série générale, de la revue trimestrielle fondée par Henri Berr; au sommaire, dossier "Anthropologies, Etats et populations": "il s'agit de l'anthropologie, de ses rapports avec la colonisation, bien sûr, mais aussi avec l'action des Etats ou celle des organisations non-gouvernementales, et ce souvent, aujourd'hui même, en France, au Brésil, en Afrique du Sud" (in avant-propos d'Eric BRIAN). "A la croisée de la sociologie des savoirs scientifiques, de l'ethnographie de l'Etat et de l'histoire sociale de l'anthropologie, ce volume étudie les relations entre la construction de l'anthropologie comme forme de connaissance de certaines populations et l'élaboration et la mise en œuvre par les Etats de politiques visant à administrer ces populations. Les articles traitent de lieux et de moments très variés: la place des populations indigènes dans la construction nationale au Mexique depuis le siècle passé, les débats classificatoires sur fond d'apartheid en Afrique du Sud, les projets de réforme de l'administration coloniale française, les politiques de l'Etat brésilien face aux populations indiennes et noires, le folklore dans la France de Vichy, la confrontation de l'architecture contemporaine à la réaffirmation culturelle kanak dans le Pacifique des années 1990, la délimitation des terres indigènes dans le Brésil d'aujourd'hui, ou les programmes contemporains de développement. L'histoire des sciences sociales, ainsi entendue, constitue une contribution autant à l'anthropologie des pratiques classificatoires et des processus d'identification qu'à la sociologie historique de l'Etat."
