1948441j1195New York: World Jewish Congress. Good. 1948. First Edition. Paperback. "This survey seeks to render an account of what the Congress has labored to achieve in the twelve years since its constituent meeting. The realities of Jewish life are rapidly shifting before our very eyes and soon a new generation will arise which knows not our problems and to which many of our controversies will be incomprehensible. A new leaf has been turned over in the relations beween the various Jewish ideological camps while the proclamation of the State of Israel deeply affects and colors all aspects of Jewish life everywhere. For the last thirty years the activities of the Comité des Délégations and the Congress have been woven into the woof and warp of Jewish history and their record cannot be written down without Jewish history being written at the same time." - Preface.

15151NIGHTINGALE Florence. Collection of 32 pieces celebrating the first 50 years of nursing education which made nursing into the first respected medical profession for women. This collection includes a First Edition of Nightingale's influential guide Notes on Nursing 1859 and a handwritten Nightingale letter with wonderful content on her training school and hospital followed by many more tactile and visual pieces from the period ranging from approximately 1880-1930 when women entered the first official nursing programs to obtain theoretical education on disease prevention and antisepsis practical training in patient-centered care and certification and accolades for their excellent work. <br/><br/>While nursing was initially considered a volunteer service the founding of the Nightingale School of Nursing in 1862 caused rapid changes developing nursing into a true medical profession. Programs opened worldwide basing their training on the "Nightingale Principles" that emphasized patient-centered care through systemic cleanliness and stemming of infection in hospitals. The first time these important ideas were placed in print was in Nightingale's 1859 Notes on Nursing¸ a guide to patient care within the hospital and community which has remained relevant to the present day. A First Edition of Nightingale's Notes on Nursing published before even her training hospital was founded is included with this collection. A wonderful early letter on St. Thomas Hospital the site of Nightingale's first training school which she wrote in 1864 shortly after its founding is included here are well. In this letter Nightingale laments that "poor St. Thomas is in such a "fix & has so many bad friends that he ought to keep all his good ones." She is no doubt referring to the back-handed business deal that led to the hospital's moved to an abandoned music hall with sub-par hygiene for nine years starting shortly after her training program had found its home there. She discusses the immediate effects on her own students "I should never have placed my Probationers at St. Thomas but that Mr Whitfield & Mrs Wardroper were there.and when St Thomas' with its ample income has not contributed one farthing to but has profited by the Services of my Training School." Nightingale herself championed the creation of a new building and helped design it for modern standards of safety and hygiene. Among the first programs to model itself after Nightingale's example wertr the Spelman Nursing Program founded in 1886 and the Johns Hopkins School of Nursing in 1889. In order to distinguish nurses' uniforms from those of servants the programs instructed nurses to wear pocketed aprons for carrying tools and the schools provided ruffled caps that were easy for patients to identify in hospital hallways. An early vintage cap from circa 1880 is included in this collection.<br/><br/>By the turn of the century nursing education had aligned with university criteria and rigorous training became mandatory. In 1902 the U.S. and New Zealand initiated standard requirements for registered nurses to pass medical examinations; and by 1909 the University of Minnesota was the first to award a bachelor's degree in nursing. In 1919 the U.K. passed the Nursing Act requiring all nurses to join a registry; and in 1923 Yale University School of Nursing became the first autonomous college in the field. Such programs required women to take 2-3 years of medical coursework and pass certification exams. As is evident by this collection's handwritten nursing class notebook these women gained intensive knowledge about anatomy nutrition and disease. The notes in this collection include anatomical drawings as well as detailed information on "the practice of hygiene important in care of patient.how to prevent infection.uses to body of food and amount of food needed by individual patient" based on condition and diagnosis. It comes with a very rare 1911 "The Trained Nurse" booklet which contains educational matter on sexual and dental hygiene for patients to lower the risk of infection as well as information about a nurse's commitment to her training program. OCLC Worldcat lists no other known copies.<br/><br/>After completing classes nursing students apprenticed in their program's hospital until graduation. Instructors and administrators continued to value the use of uniforms and they made the clothing more functional for women whose daily tasks ranged from explaining doctors' diagnoses and treatments during consultations to the dressing of wounds. While uniforms evolved to become more streamlined they still bore visual signs of a student's experience and accomplishments. The nursing cap continued to be the most recognizable sign of entrance to the profession and getting her cap was a formal right of passage to a young nurse. Women only obtained the cap during a ceremony in which nurses from the program pinned the caps to the new nurses' heads. As students rose through the ranks and ultimately graduated they would receive a nursing lapel pin showing their entrance into a specialized field. This collection includes each of these important pieces: a white vintage nursing cap and lapel pin. In addition it contains a handwritten journal with beautiful colored handdrawn illustrations poems and diary entries by a nurse during her hospital training.<br/><br/>The women who graduated from nursing programs had met the mandatory benchmarks; indeed these women also often exceeded requirements and won honors for their work. Celebrating these landmark accomplishments this collection includes a set of 5 turn of the century graduation invitations an early commencement booklet with individual nursing graduation photos 3 early diplomas for women graduating from nursing programs 8 class photos and 7 individual female graduate portraits. The photos visually document the collective changes that these nurses' uniforms underwent across the decades as well as the women's pride in obtaining their degree. The collection also contains a "Champion of Head Nurses" trophy awarded to a young nurse for her leadership within her new hospital.<br/><br/>As this collection shows these women's educations led them to become proud and dedicated professionals excited to apply their knowledge in ways that made a difference.

1795441j1158London: Printed for John Stockdale Piccadilly. Very Good. 1795. First Edition. Hardcover. "The following history is intended as much to show that abuse of power and disregard to public opinion brings on revolutions as to show the danger that attends them when they are brought on. Had the court of Versailles been willing to make the reforms wanted it would not have been itself reformed and destroyed. Had the nobility and the clergy been willing to sacrifice to the just claims of their fellow citizens those privileges which were useless and unjust we should not now have seen them straying loke vagabonds over the face of a strange country seeking for bread. It is impossible for a lesson to be written in more legible characters and it must be confessed that till the Parliament of England shows a disposition to crush the abuses which exist and augment in many departments of the state the mouths of those who cry out for reform will never be effectually stopped. Such would be the way effectually to crush Jacobinism." - p.21. "William Playfair 1759-1823 was a Scottish engineer and political economist who served as a secret agent on behalf of Great Britain during its war with France. He reported on the French Revolution and organized a clandestine counterfeiting operation in 1793 to collapse the French currency. He was the inventor of the pie chart bar chart and several others." - Wikipedia. 5-816 pp. Recently professionally rebound in marbled boards. Tight clean and unmarked.

"On very rare occasions a book appears which forever changes the way in which we perceive the world around us. Within a short while it becomes hard to understand how we could have functioned without the knowledge gained from it. This is such a book. Quigley presents certain 'keys' crucial to the understanding of 20th century political economic and military events - events of the past present and future. The fact that Carroll Quigley 1910-1977 a highly respected professor at Georgetown University and an instructor at Princeton and Harvard could not find a publisher for this work is in itself significant." - Stephen A.

1983328c6775USA: Service. Good. 1983. First Edition. Hardcover. 081912947X . "Carroll Quigley historian and teacher at Georgetown University died January 5 1977 leaving unfinished this manuscript upon which he had been working for the preceding twelve years. His colleagues and friends upon reviewing the manuscript decided to press forward with its publication. Although the manuscript is frustratingly incomplete in time sequence - it ends its narrative in the fifteenth century - it carries further toward completion the uniquely anthropological holistic analysis of history which is the theme of his earlier works. Quigley is incredibly successful in abstracting essence from reality - in analyzing mankind's experience in socializing. He describes weaponry as not an end in itself. It is part of a whole in which by far the greater part of persuasion and cooperation is accomplished by institutionalization of ideologies. This book is one of those human efforts which shapes the mind." - from Foreword by Harry J. Hogan. 1043 pages. Bibliography. List of books and articles by the author. Moderate external wear.

"The facts presented in the following pages may perhaps not be accepted without surprise and wonder as to their authenticity. The world at large has not yet quite appreciated the full extent of the secret intrigues which were carried on in the former German Empire before and during WWI that was to break its might and destroy it. And yet the whole fabric of German politics was built on these intrigues. From the time that Bismarck instituted his famous Bureau of Espionage these machinations were steadily going on throught the whole of Europe and in America as well and it seems desirable that the activity of this bureau in its nefarious work in Russia be exposed." - page 1. 8 293 pp. Frontispiece photo of Trotzky and Lenine marshalling their forces for revolt plus eight additional black and white plates.

1922441j1306London: Chapman & Hall Ltd. Good with no dust jacket. 1922. First British Edition. Hardcover. "The revolutionary unrest which to-day afflicts the entire world goes far deeper than is generally supposed. Its root-cause is not Russian Bolshevik propaganda nor the late war nor the French Revolution but a process of racial impoverishment which destroyed the great civilizations of the past and which threatens to destroy our own. In light of recent biological discoveries confirmed and amplified by investigations in other fields of science especially psychology all political and social problems need to be re-examined. Such a re-examination of one of these problems - the problem of social revolution - has been attempted in the present book." - Preface. "Lothrop Stoddard 1883-1950 was an American historian journalist and political scientist. He wrote several books advocating eugenics white supremacy Nordicism and scientific racism. His books were once widely read both inside and outside the United States. This book introduced the term Untermensch the German translation of 'Under-man' into Nazi conceptions of race.

It was published just after the Folio edition a few months after for the first volumes and almost simultaneously thereafter. The first two octavo volumes corresponding to the first folio volume and printed in 1604 identified here as Pars I and Partis Primae Tomus II is bound in four volumes as is the second volume published in two octavo volumes in 1606 and corresponding to the Folio volume also published in 1606. They are identified as Tomus Secundi Pars Prima and Tomi Secundi Pars altera. The final volume identified as Libri VI is bound in one and published in 1608 the Folio edition was published in 1607-8. Because Thou was editing and changing his systems of identification as he published the books the naming system is a little odd - this final volume follows the third and fourth octavo volumes and not the first two in how it is numbered. 1005pp index; 1013 index; 958 index; 886 index; 501 privilege index.

"Outlines the historic background leading to the famous Balfour Declaration of 1917 which put England on the side of aiding the Jews in setting up a national state in Palestine and airs the amazing circumstances under which the terms of the Mandate for Palestine have been from time to time altered or re-interpreted. It is a complete indictment of the course which the Mandatory has followed and recites in startling detail the reasons behind the various riots and disturbances which have convulsed the Holy Land from the advent of the British Administration up to the present date." - dust jacket. "The book is full of political dynamite - in its documented indictment of the British camarilla which in betraying the Jewish nation is betraying the British nation as well and in its unsparing exposure of self-deluded Zionist leadership." - Eugene Lyons. xiv 2 612 p.
