We see the location of the great electric power transmission line that will deliver power from Boulder Dam to five pumping plants along the Aqueduct. The power will raise Aqueduct water over mountain barriers. Water from the Colorado River - a billion gallons a day - will be delivered to the cities in the Metropolitan Water District - and the cities which may later enter the District. How the Aqueduct will deliver this unfailing and abundant water supply to all parts of the Metropolitan Water District is graphically revealed on the map.

Most oblong format. <br/><br/>Group of nine large-format photographs depicting lumbering activities of the St. Paul & Tacoma Lumbering Company Pacific National Lumber Company and the Simpson Lumber Company. All are captioned in the negative identifying Kinsey as the photographer. Clark Kinsey and his brother Darius 1869-1945 were two of the most important photographers documenting the logging and timber industries of the Pacific Northwest. Kinsey photographed the timber industry in the Pacific Northwest for thirty years from World War I until his retirement in 1945. <br /> <br />The images here record not only the equipment & activity of the logging industry but also of the timber cutters themselves capturing their postures and expressions posed amongst the logs and machinery of their trade. Three of the images are annotated on the verso two with some identifying names of the workmen in the photograph. Images are captioned as follows: <br /> <br />"No. 2. Camp #8. St. Paul & Tacoma Lmbr Co. / C. Kinsey Photo Seattle" -- Group photo of fourteen men posed in front of machinery. <br /> <br />"No. 5. St. Paul & Tacoma Lmbr Co. / C. Kinsey Photo" -- Group photo of fifteen men posed in front of a small building empty flatbed rail cars in front. <br /> <br />"St. Paul and Tacoma Lbr. Co #5 / Kinsey Photo" -- Group photo of seventeen men posing with a giant felled log. <br /> <br />"No. 7 St. Paul & Tacoma Lmbr Co / C.

Captioned on verso "Camp 3". <br /> <br />"Simpson Camp #3 / Kinsey Photo #12" -- Twenty men seated on large logs on the left with machinery the center focus. Captioned on verso identifying most of the men. <br /> <br />"Simpson Camp #3 / Kinsey #12" -- Depicts a group of seven men standing atop a pile of logs. Captioned on verso identifying one man. <br /> <br />The University of Washington has a large collection of Kinsey's negatives and photographs some of which they have digitized. Searching their database shows that the present images from the Simpson Lumber Company were likely taken in the 1930s while the images of the other camps are undated though we postulate they are from the same era which coincides with Kinsey's most productive period. <br /> <br />All-in-all an arresting group of large photographs documenting this important industry in the Pacific Northwest by one of its most noted photographers.

195321049Philadelphia: W. B. Saunders Company 1953. First edition. Octavo original maroon cloth. Boldly signed by Alfred C. Kinsey and Wardell B. Pomeroy on the front free endpaper. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket with a few small closed tears. Sexual Behavior in the Human Female was originally published in 1953 five years after the male volume. The material presented in this book was derived from personal interviews with nearly 6000 women; from studies in sexual anatomy physiology psychology and endocrinology. The book presents data on the incidence and frequency with which women participate in various types of sexual activity. The authors show how such factors as age decade of birth and religious adherence are reflected in patterns of sexual behavior. Some measure of the social significance of the various types of sexual behavior is provided. The authors make comparisons of female and male sexual activities and investigate the factors which account for the similarities and differences between female and male patterns of behavior. As before Kinsey documented an enormous gap between social attitudes and actual practices. Also as before the book was a media sensation but this time the counterattack was so ferocious including a congressional investigation of his financial support that the Rockefeller Foundation terminated its funding. Kinsey's health deteriorated under the strain of public attack and uncertainty about the future of his institute. He suffered from heart disease and after a brief hospitalization for pneumonia died in Bloomington on August 25 1956. In his own mind his principal legacy was to have brought scientific rigor to the study of human sexuality. But as his biographer James H. Jones points out Kinsey was not only a scientist; he was a reformer who sought to rid himself of his personal sexual demons while at the same time revolutionizing the repressive society in which he had grown up.
