An English translation by Dr. C. F. Fisher, from the Scientific Publications of the Novara Expedition, comprising important and fascinating observations and survey work by German-Austrian geologist Ferdinand von Hochstetter at the onset of British settlement in the region. 8vo. 113 pages, plus table of contents, title page. Red cloth boards titled in gilt to front. Volume measures approximately 14 x 21 cm. Faint blemish to boards, otherwise very good condition, clean and bright. An early work presenting discoveries made in New Zealand, specifically in Auckland and Nelson, during the Austrian Imperial Novara Expedition. It includes two important lectures delivered by esteemed geologist and expedition leader Ferdinand von Hochstetter. A principal member of the expedition, Hochstetter was involved in its planning from the onset. His surveys were used in the making of the first geological map of New Zealand, created the bases for future geological research. The Novara Expedition (1857-1859) was the first large-scale scientific, around-the-world mission of the Austrian Imperial navy. In 1859, during the expedition, Hochstetter was funded by the government of New Zealand to make a rapid geological survey of the islands. Over 150 years later, his work is regarded as an authoritative primary source still today. the volume's content centers largely on Hochstetter's survey of Auckland, beginning with his lecture on the region's geology. Subjects further include its extinct volcanos, Lake Rotomahana and its hot springs [Te Tarata thermal springs], and three inlets on North Island - Whaingaroa [now known as Raglan], Aotea, and Kawhia. Approximately one quarter of the text is devoted to his geological work in the Province of Nelson.

19868966Berkeley CA: Pacific Editions 1986. One of 165 copies all on Twinrocker handmade rag paper each signed by the author and artist. Page size: 12 inches x 8-1/4 inches. Bound by Klaus-Ullrich Rotzscher: gilt stamped morocco and Twinrocker paper in custom clamshell box. Four of the five etchings accompany each of the four essays by Thomas and a fifth For Quartet weaves visual metaphors of the themes of the four essays. The etchings incorporate a variety of graphic techniques including aquatint spitbite drypoint and hard and soft ground methods. They were proofed by Kay Bradner at Katherine Lincoln Press and the edition was printed by Robert Townsend and Kate Hanlon. The text is handset in 16 point Bembo and Centaur and printed letterpress at the Arif Press by Wesley B. Tanner who also designed the book. Title calligraphy is by John Prestianni. This is a real collaborative effort among artists and the result encompasses Thomas' central themes: the dominant role of symbiosis in life on our planet; guarded optimism in the face of great odds; the magical role of music and metaphor; and the idiosyncracies of language and communication. The late Lewis Thomas National Book Award winner had a long and distinguished career as a scientist before combining that career with that of writing. Joseph Goldyne trained as a physician before embarking on a career in art. His work is widely collected and critically acclaimed. Pacific Editions unknown books

Of the printed matter most is affixed to paper some small tears and folds; overall excellent; photographs near fine. Mary J. Bremer 1917–2019 was a Technician fourth grade from Grant Township Nebraska. Her correspondents here include June Miller 1920–deceased an aviation cadet from Michigan and John Melotte 1919–deceased an artilleryman from Philadelphia. Bremer and Miller were members of the Women’s Army Corps WAC. Established in May of 1942 as the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps the WAC converted to active duty in July of 1943. The women of WAC known as Wacs served in noncombatant roles across the various theaters of World War II.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a small archive of Bremer’s documents and photographs relating to WAC: a few letters including a description of Paris the day after the Nazi surrender; two pamphlets including the War Department pamphlet Two down and One to go –; and a collection of photographs of Eisenhower’s victory parade and Roosevelt’s funeral procession.<br /> <br /> On April 12 1945 President Roosevelt died of a stroke in Warm Springs Georgia. His body was returned to Washington two days later and a military procession escorted it from the train station to the White House. Two photographs of the funeral procession are included in the archive. One showing a woman at the start of a section of the parade is identified verso as “WACs led by Capt. Machenâ€.<br /> <br /> The following month the Nazis surrendered. Bremer’s friend June Miller was stationed in Paris at the time. She wrote to Bremer the next day describing the celebration:<br /> “It began the night before when we stood on the roof and watched the flares go off all over the city--just like the 4th of July; the Sacred Couer was blazing with lights and it looked like a miniature fairy-land. Last night all the famous old buildings including the Arc d’Triumph was all lit up the fountains in the parks at Concord in front of the Trocadero--they were all going and the kids were wading and splashing around having the time of their life. It was really something to see--something the French had been waiting a long time for. “Fini le guerre†they kept saying--the end of the war!â€<br /> <br /> Miller also claims to have witnessed a bomber flying a celebratory loop through the Eiffel Tower:<br /> <br /> “When we came out of the Trocadéro the fountains were on and what a sight that is. Looking down over the water that looks like a miniature waterfall to the Eiffel Tower at the bottom of a small hill. And if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes I would never have believed that I saw a small bomber come through the bottom but that’s just what it did--and just did clear it too. The planes seemed to be going as wild as the people on the ground--they were so thick up there that pretty soon we thought surely something would happen.â€<br /> In June Dwight Eisenhower returned from Europe and a homecoming parade was held for him in Washington D.C. Six photographs of this parade are included in the archive including a shot of his plane arriving at the airport and one where he is visible standing in the back of a Jeep.<br /> <br /> Miller notes in her letter from Paris that “you wondered what was coming next; where we would go from here ‘cause in a sense there is still a war very definitely going onâ€. In fact John Melotte who seems to be Miller’s partner writes to Bremer that he “May be slated for that place they call the CBI but don’t tell June please. She does not want me to even mention the place in my letters so I let well enough alone†July 15 1945. Hostilities would continue in the CBI—the China-Burma-India theater—until September of that year.<br /> The process by which soldiers were selected to be sent to the Asia-Pacific theater is laid out in the War Department pamphlet Two down and One to go –. The pamphlet reminds them that there are still “a couple of big jobs ahead†the primary one being to “crush†or “smash†the “Japs†and the second one being to occupy and police “conquered lands . until the peril of future aggression is gone.†It is a visually striking piece with illustrations in a bold black and red color palette; its cover is a reproduction of a caricature of Hitler Mussolini and Hirohito by Polish-Jewish artist Arthur Szyk.<br /> <br /> Also included in the archive are a card from a friend with tickets to an American League baseball game; a humorous poem congratulating Wacs Ruth O.B. and Lenore I. Nier on new work assignments; and a Christmas 1945 WAC pamphlet with a dinner menu and list of WAC officers. The pamphlet assures the Wacs with a note from Colonel Kenton Cooley “Before another Christmas you all will have returned to civilian life and each of you will take with you my appreciation and my sincere admiration for a great job well done.â€<br /> Of interest to scholars of women’s history especially in the military; and of the events leading up to the end of the Second World War. unknown
