From Library Journal: "Since the 1987 publication of Allan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind the question of whether that body of works referred to as either the Classics or Great Books should be required reading for college students has divided academia. Journalist and biographer Atlas Delmore Schwartz who covered the debates as waged between traditionalists and multiculturalists for the New York Times here revises an overview of curriculum controversies at major universities that he wrote for Whittle Communications' Larger Agenda series in 1990per BIP .He traveled to Duke Harvard and Chicago to interview professors and examine course catalogues in search of 'our educational mandate.' He contributes a refreshing voice to a discussion dominated by academics evincing a 'spirit of curiosity' where dry polemics are the rule. But he offers little in the way of original thought nor is his argument in favor of the 'canon of Great Books' unified. Denser more closely reasoned new books on the subject include David Bromwich's Politics by Other Means: Higher Education and Group Thinking Forecasts Aug. 10 and Beyond the Culture Wars by Gerald Graff Forecasts Sept. 7."

194764270Portland OR: Oregon Blue Print Co. 1947-1959. Oblong atlas folio. 21 x 17.5 in. 52 leaves not contiguously numbered. all dyazo-print whjteprint maps w/ first consisting of a large folding “Oswego Oregon Street Map†many leaves w/ creasing corners worn some with closed tears secured at gutter margin w/ 4 brass split-pins over thick brown paper stock still a VG- exemplar. First edition thus of this exceedingly rare realty atlas for Oswego Oregon chronicling its’ explosive growth following World War II prior to the consolidation with surrounding suburbs and renaming as the City of Lake Oswego in 1960. These real estate atlases were sold in installments to Lake Oswego & Portland area real estate agents land use boards and public institutions with installments appearing from 1947-1959 but the Oswego atlas sheets are far scarcer than even the very rare Portland issues. Oswego and surrounding suburbs such as Alto Park Acres Forest Hills Lake Grove Rainbow Terrace Uplands Crest and Woodmont were all developed initially by the Ladd Estate Company which first platted the area with Paul C. Murphy overseeing the design with the aid of of Frederick & John Olmsted to create a park like setting around the Lake. This atlas with key map opening details the evolution from 1947-1959 the street-by-street and plat-by-plat of the surrounding area providing essential information on the emergence of these suburbs from the original donation land claims as the city grew from about 1500 to over 10000 by 1959. The more than 100 new residential plats created from the original donation land claims throughout the Lake Oswego area including the plats on the south side of South Shore Drive which created the Palisades Neighborhood and just prior to the July 2 1959 annexation which brought all of Oswego Lake parts of Lake Grove Palisades and others in the Lake Grove Sanitary District all evolve through these maps. Researchers can trace the evolution of the Portland-Salem Expressway later called the Baldock Freeway and further developed into the I-5 corridor alongside Lake Oswego along with the rapid growth of the area. Original Donation Land Claims are clearly demarcated including those of Charles Brown Bryant Waters Carman Albert Durham and many others. Oregon Blue Print Co. was established on SE Hawthorne in Portland OR by the early 1940’s and were the printers for the Pittmon maps which were extensively used and continually updated in the Portland area. Under Walter & Min Underwood the company focused on blueprinting and engineering plans as well as land promotion brochures and street maps. Company still remains family owned. It appears that later versions of the Oswego Oregon Street Map were used as land promotion brochures and some early versions do survive in holdings of Lake Oswego City Government and 1 in OHS but no other examples are located in Worldcat. No similar versions of this atlas have survived in institutional holdings that this cataloguer could identify accurately.

First edition of this remarkably scarce plat map atlas for the Matanuska coal fields and township sites surveyed by Walker & McDaniel during their surveys following those on the Kenai Peninsula. By 1912 with the act establishing Alaska as a U.S. Territory and in 1914 the authorization to construct an Alaska Railroad there became an increased need and demand for coal. The Matanuska mines located about 45 miles northeast of Anchorage first began production in 1916 and would stay in continuous production through both World War I and World War II and well into the 20th Century re-opening again in the 21st Century. Not only do these maps show available government lease sites for coal mines but also available Township sites for homesteaders as required by the original Homestead Acts of 1866 and the 1916 Act for Alaska requiring surveys and resurveys to accurately determine boundaries of unsold railroad lands and identify their boundaries.
