1914206801914. Daniels John. In Freedom's Birthplace: A Study of the Boston Negroes 1914 presents an early twentieth century sociological examination of African American life in Boston grounded in extended field research and community engagement. Written by a social reformer affiliated with settlement work and urban social service institutions the study compiles nearly a decade of observation and consultation with Black Bostonians to document demographic patterns labor conditions class structure and institutional affiliations. The work situates Boston's Black population within a longer historical trajectory beginning with emancipation in Massachusetts in 1781 and continuing through the development of a free Black community closely tied to abolitionist activity in the nineteenth century providing a substantial empirical record for the study of race urban life and reform era social science.<br /> <br /> Daniels John. In Freedom's Birthplace: A Study of the Boston Negroes. Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin Company 1914. First edition. One volume. The text is organized in part through historical and analytical chapters with early sections addressing the formation of racial attitudes and subsequent chapters presenting data on employment property ownership and social organization including religious and political institutions. Daniels draws upon interviews local records and collaboration with numerous members of Boston's African American community whom he acknowledges collectively in the preface.<br /> <br /> Produced during the Progressive Era the study reflects contemporaneous efforts to apply social scientific methods to questions of race inequality and urban reform. Its detailed statistical and descriptive approach contributes to the broader development of American sociology and provides a foundation for examining the relationship between Black community formation and northern urban environments in the decades before the Great Migration.

Very Good Turkish Original wrappers. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In Turkish with Latin letters. 64 p., 1 portrait, 2 unnumbered b/w plates. First and only edition of this rare and early first and only separate travel account to Australia by a Turkish traveler in Turkish literature. Mehmet Osman Bey, (1878-1940?), was a son of Miralay Ahmed Bey, and the grandson of Emin Pasha who was the head doctor of Sultan Murat V. Mehmet Osman Bey, who circumnavigated the world in 1910, continued his journey across India, Sumatra, Java, Malaga, the Archipelago, Japan and China until the fourth month of the World War I. After arriving in Australia, he wrote his travel notes and later on was taken as a civilian prisoner by the British Army in Australia and was sent first to India and from there to Egypt. According to Demiray's preface, he was blind after returning to Turkey. This book includes two plates showing farmhouses in Australia. He described in his book Australia's educational, farming and medical systems as well as the topography of the land, the customs and rituals of the natives, their traditions of hunting, and the largely indigenous population in Queensland and the native camps outside Sydney. One of the purposes of publishing this book in the early Republican Turkey period was to examine the welfare level and systems in other countries in accordance with the conjuncture of the period. Only two copies in OCLC: 949418134 (Bogaziçi University Library & National Library of Australia).

1972022931Boston MA U.S.A.: New England Free Press 1972. First Edition Later Printing . Soft cover. Very Good. Precursor to the book of the same name with a slightly different subtitle that would become a cornerstone of the second-wave feminist movement of the 1970s breaking all kinds of barriers that stood in the way of women taking control of their own bodies & health. Born at a 1969 workshop entitled "Women and Their Bodies" it was first published by the Boston Women's Health Course Collective & printed by the New England Free Press in that same city in 1971. We believe that this is the Second Printing described as "New Printing of Women & Their Bodies" on the front cover described by the editors as having been "rushed to print with no revisions since the first printing sold out so quickly." In a brief editorial note on the Table of Contents page they outline revisions they plan to make in the upcoming 3rd printing & reach out to readers for additional suggestions of what they would like to see included. On the verso of this page however print runs & dates through the 8th printing in July 1972 are listed so this may be that 8th printing retaining the 2nd printing notice Unlike the softcover book in stiff white wrappers decorated in color that is so familiar to all women over the past five decades this early edition was still on newsprint in black & white with a cover price of $.35. It consists of 3 sections each about 44 pages stapled together on the left in 136 pages a two-page letter from the editors outlining their plans for turning this "course" into a book to be published by Simon & Schuster in the interest of using the publisher's massive distribution network to get it into the hands of as many women as possible far more than the Collective could manage. It became a reality in 1973. The book remains a critical cornerstone in the movement for women's rights & has never been out of print. Extremely scarce in this printing with only 2 copies available in the trade & 2 held by libraries in Germany & the Netherlands as of this writing Nov. 2023. Off-white wrappers show tanning around all edges. Only flaw is a torn triangular section to top edge of front cover 1.25" x 1.25" x .75" with tiny .25" vertical tear to same area on following 2 pages & a few microscopic tears/nicks to same edge.

Complete in wrappers and folded huge Africa map (size: 57 x 82 cm). Cover size: 28.5 x 20.5 cm. In Turkish. Scale: 1/20,000,000. A very rare chromo-lithographed Africa map, prepared for the geography lessons about foreign countries in Turkey in 1930. The map shows the territories of the African continent, which was still politically under European colonialism as of the 1930s. It includes Rio de Oro (Spanish territory), Fas [i.e. Morocco], Algeria, Sahara, Cameroon (French territories), Trabulus [i.e. Libya] as Italian territory; and Liberia, Egypt, East Sudan, Eritre [i.e. Eritrea], Habesistan [i.e. Ethiopia], Somali, Kenya, Belgian Kongo, Angola, Mozambique and South African land including Rhodesia (equivalent in the territory to modern Zimbabwe), Transvaal, The Orange Free State [Oranje-Vrystaat], Natal and Kap [Cape] with Madagascar.

Very Good Turkish Chapograph print. Extremely rare first and the earliest printing material in book form (both in scarce institutional holdings and market rarity), which has brought the concept of optical art to Turkey. This compilation and work were prepared by the contemporary Turkish architects Güven and Alemdar, who were experts on urbanization. The book includes nine chapters excluding the plates: History of op-art.; Optical effects: Black and white.; Optical effects: Color.; Reliefs, moving objects, and light.; Special joint characteristics in 'Op'.; 'Op' and other art genres.; Leading names in the European school of 'Op'.; British and American 'Op'.; Critics.; and Plates. Plates were taken from various American art magazines published in the period and German advertisements from German magazines which reflected 'Optic art'. Op art, short for optical art, is a style of visual art using optical illusions. Op artworks are abstract, with many better-known pieces created in black and white. Typically, they give the viewer the impression of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibrating patterns, or swelling or warping. The antecedents of op art, in terms of graphic and color effects, can be traced back to Neo-impressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Constructivism, and Dada. László Moholy-Nagy produced photographic op art and taught the subject in the Bauhaus. Time magazine coined the term op art in 1964, in response to Julian Stanczak's show Optical Paintings at the Martha Jackson Gallery, to mean a form of abstract art (specifically non-objective art) that uses optical illusions. Works then labeled as "op art" had actually been produced for several years before Time's 1964 article. For instance, Victor Vasarely's painting Zebras (1938) is made up entirely of curvilinear black and white stripes not contained by contour lines. Consequently, the stripes appear to both meld into and burst forth from the surrounding background. Also, the early black and white "dazzle" panels that John McHale installed at the 'This Is Tomorrow' exhibit in 1956 and his 'Pandora' series at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in 1962 demonstrated proto-op art tendencies. Martin Gardner featured Op Art and its relation to mathematics in his July 1965 Mathematical Games column in Scientific American. In Italy, Franco Grignani, who originally trained as an architect, became a leading force of graphic design where op art or kinetic art was the focus. His Woolmark logo (launched in Britain in 1964) is probably the most famous of all his designs. Op art perhaps more closely derives from the constructivist practices of the Bauhaus. This German school, founded by Walter Gropius, stressed the relationship of form and function within a framework of analysis and rationality. Students learned to focus on the overall design or entire composition to present unified works. Op art also stems from trompe-l'oil and anamorphosis. Links with psychological research have also been made, particularly with Gestalt theory and psychophysiology. When the Bauhaus was forced to close in 1933, many of its instructors fled to the United States. There, the movement took root in Chicago and eventually at the Black Mountain College in Asheville, North Carolina, where Anni and Josef Albers eventually gave lectures [.] (Source: Wikipedia).

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original brown half-leather bdg. with a clip. "Poesie" title on black cloth front cover. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic script). [2], 153, [3] p. Completely handwritten with numerous pages. All edges gilt. This unique manuscript is probably an early sketch written in Ottoman script to be used later for its first edition published by Maarif Vekâleti [i.e. Turkish Ministry of Education] in 1947 in modern Turkish with Latin letters. The Mysterious Universe is a popular science book by the British astrophysicist Sir James Jeans, first published in 1930 by the Cambridge University Press. In the United States, it was published by Macmillan. The book is an expanded version of the Red Lecture delivered at the University of Cambridge in 1930. It begins with a full-page citation of the famous passage in Plato's Republic, Book VII, laying out the allegory of the cave. The book made frequent reference to the quantum theory of radiation, initiated by Max Planck in 1900, to Albert Einstein's general relativity, and to the new theories of quantum mechanics by Heisenberg and Schrödinger, of whose philosophical perplexities the author seemed well aware. The book was denounced by the Cambridge philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, because "Jeans has written a book called The Mysterious Universe and I loathe it and call it misleading. Take the title... I might say that the title The Mysterious Universe includes a kind of idol worship, the idol being Science and the Scientist." A second edition appeared in 1931. The book was reprinted 15 times between 1930 and 1938 and again in September 2007. Salih Murat Uzdilek (1891-1967) was the first to translate this book into Turkish, printed in 1947 under the title "Esrarli kâinât". Although there's no sign in this manuscript, probably the author is Uzdilek. He was a Professor of Physics at Istanbul Technical University, graduated as a naval officer in 1908. It was his father Mehmed Sefik Bey, who as a mathematics teacher introduced him to the study of the subject. Salih Murat developed an interest in the history of mathematics through readings of books by F. Cajori and D. E. Smith. Uzdilek studied engineering in London prior to the First World War, where he was invited to present a communication on the "Introduction of logarithms into Turkey" at the Napier Tercentenary organized by The Royal Society of Edinburgh, 25-27 July 1914. The paper published in the Napier Tercentenary Memorial Volume (1915) was based on the research by Salih Zeki Bey, historian of science and Rector of Istanbul University between 1913 and 1917, published in his Kamus-i Riyaziyat (Encyclopaedia of Mathematics 1898). His findings indicate that Yirmisekiz Mehmet Çelebi, the Sultan's envoy to France, had been presented an astronomical text which included logarithms by the astronomer Jacques Cassini during his visit to the Paris Observatory in 1714. It was this collection that led to the introduction of logarithms into Turkey. Kalfazade Ismail Efendi, a timekeeper, and mathematician compiled an introduction to logarithms for his translation of the astronomical tables of J. Cassini in 1772, which is considered the first work on logarithms, into Turkish. Gelenbevi Ismail Efendi, renowned for his works in mathematics and logic, completed his Logaritma Serhi (Commentary on Logarithms) in 1787. After his return to Istanbul, Salih Murat Uzdilek was invited by the Austrian Dean of the School of Engineering, Prof. Philipp Forchheimer, to give physics lessons at the school. Prof. Uzdilek pursued his interest in the history of mathematics and physics throughout his long career. He was also an active researcher in the physics of sound and music and contributed to the contemporary tonal system of Turkish music. In his later years, Prof. Uzdilek was invited to lecture at the 400th anniversary of Galileo Galilei.
