149944San Francisco: Chronicle Books 1998. First edition of this multidimensional visual portrayal of women’s lives. Quarto original publisher's cloth illustrated with black and white photographs. Presentation copy with a lengthy autograph notecard inscribed by the photographer Mariana Cook to Ruth Bader Ginsburg laid in. The recipient American lawyer and jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020 and was responsible for some of the most eventful legal decisions of the past half-century. Nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993 to replace retiring justice Byron White Ginsburg became the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Court after Sandra Day O’Connor. Ginsburg spent much of her legal career as an advocate for gender equality and women’s rights winning many arguments before the Supreme Court. During her tenure as associate justice of the Supreme Court Ginsburg received attention for her fiery and passionate dissents that reflected liberal views of the law. She was popularly dubbed “the Notorious R.B.G.†a moniker she later embraced. She authored several important majority opinions related to gender discrimination voting rights and affirmative action in cases such as United States v. Virginia 1996 which struck down the Virginia Military Institute’s male-only admissions policy as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment Olmstead v. L.C. 1999 in which the Court ruled that mental illness is a form of disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Friends of the Earth Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services Inc. 2000 in which the Court held that residents have standing to seek fines for an industrial polluter that affected their interests and that is able to continue doing so. Fine in a fine dust jacket. From the library of American lawyer and jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. Photographic and literary exploration of the relationships between women across different generations. The book features intimate black-and-white portraits of grandmothers mothers and daughters accompanied by personal narratives that reflect on themes of heritage identity and familial bonds. Through these stories Cook captures the complexities of womanhood emphasizing both the shared experiences and the individuality of each subject. Chronicle Books hardcover
ril. L'isola madre traccia una genealogia tra le scrittrici caraibiche contemporanee Jean Rhys e Jamaica Kincaid a partire dalla complessa eredità culturale materna. Percorrendo i temi della dislocazione e della diaspora, della memoria e della rimozione, il volume rilegge, sostenuto dagli strumenti critici degli studi culturali e postcoloniali, la scrittura di Rhys e di Kincaid in una prospettiva più specificamente caraibica. Attraverso l'immaginario dell'isola madre, spazio geografico e mentale in cui s'intrecciano e si stratificano traumi storici e tradimenti culturali, Manuela Coppola suggerisce nuove intersezioni nell'esplorazione delle assonanze e delle dissonanze tra le due scrittrici.

Their learned description concludes: "Edward John Eyre the renowned Australian explorer of southern Australia & New South Wales and the first European to explore the coastline of the Great Australian Bight. Drawing upon his experiences overlanding sheep in the 1830's Eyre 1815 - 1901 applied for the job of laying out an overland route to the west. In June 1840 the expedition started out but failed. Sending back all but Baxter & Wylie Eyre set out from Fowlers Bay to cross the Great Australian Bight. After much hardship & losing Baxter Eyre & Wylie ran into and were saved by a French whaler which gave them supplies to continue. This letter was written in the period following Eyre's governor ship of the colony of Jamaica during which time he had brutally suppressed the Morant Bay Rebellion using government troops to kill innocent men women & children. Eyre returned to England August 1866 where those who called him a murderer founded a committee calling for him to be put on trial; he was charged with murder twice but the cases were never pursued."
