197914089kmsNew York: St. Martin’s Press 1979. First Edition Review Copy. Quarto blue leatherette hardcover gilt letters vii 152 pp. Good with soiling to page edges neat former-owner stamps former-owners published review pasted to rear endpaper in a Near-Fine dust jacket. From jacket: Over a quarter of the world’s surface is arid or semi-arid and there are fears that this total may increase sharply as the result of climatic change and growing pressures from an expanding and hungry world population. Urgent needs have led man himself to contribute alarmingly to the continuous depletion of the stock of usable lands through unconsidered exploitation: fertile areas are degrading rapidly and marginal ones are turning into deserts. This timely book shows how the threats to such fragile territories can be arrested controlled and reversed through the careful management of dry-land ecosystems. It examines the characteristics of arid and semi-arid environments throughout the world and describes the kinds of vegetation they are able to support. Drawing thier lessons from nature the authors show how indiginous vegetation can be used to create developments which are self-sustaining in the long run based on an apporach that works with nature rather than against it. They set out in great detail the techniques that are involved from the preliminary survey of climate topography soils and water through the analysis of the existing ecosystem to the planning of developments with plants and regimes of irrigation plant propagation and management of soil water vegeation and human settlements.

19451711Great Lakes Ill 1945. About very good. Two panoramic photographs 10 x 19.25 and 8 x 18.25 inches. Minor wear at corners; lower left corner of larger image partially stripped. Minor toning and dust soiling. A striking set of two panoramic photographs that comprise official portraits of African-American Naval Company 771 at the Great Lakes U.S. Naval Training Station at the end of World War II. The training center on the shore of Lake Michigan just south of Waukegan Illinois was the principal site for the training of naval recruits during World War II and the only location for Black recruits who were trained from 1942 through the end of the war at a segregated base within the larger facility called Camp Robert Smalls. The earlier of the two portraits dated July 24 1945 is a traditional group shot with the 127 men of the company kneeling and standing on bleachers. The second larger of the two images dated August 10 1945 calls the group the "Last Negro Company of Great Lakes Ill. Winners of All Competitive Flags" and shows the men standing in formation at attention in front of a training vessel. A fine pair of images. books
1945WRCAM55611N.p. 1945. Thirteen silver gelatin real photo postcards each 5 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. Moderate surface wear and silvering to some photos minor edge wear. Overall very good. A collection of thirteen real photo postcards featuring young African American Navy midshipmen serving or training during World War II twelve of which have been signed by the subjects in the margin below their photograph. Seven of the men have also added their address below their names while one serviceman inscribed his to "Mr. Strong." The sailors hail from a variety of locations namely Tennessee New Jersey Oklahoma Illinois Maryland and New York two from Brooklyn. The men are all posed likely against a studio backdrop and each is dressed in a blue uniform and white hat. <br> <br> The United States Navy was much slower to welcome African-American servicemen and integrate than the Army. In 1942 the Navy expanded service opportunities for African Americans beyond mess service and Camp Robert Smalls was created within Naval Station Great Lakes to host the first full albeit segregated training programs. The Navy began desegregating training in 1944 with the first thirteen African Americans becoming commissioned and warrant officers that same year the "Golden Thirteen". By 1945 all training was fully integrated. <br> <br> A useful group of photographs signed by African-American midshipmen of the Greatest Generation braving the American Navy during a transformative time in its history. unknown books
