New York, New York, U. S. A.: Carroll & Graf Publishers. New in New dust jacket. 2003. First Edition. Hardcover. With colorful narrative detail this book brings to dramatic life the extraordinary stories behind 20 groundbreaking achievements in the field of medical science. It is a field populated by the bold, eccentric, and inventive likes of Werner Forssmann, a doctor who had so much confidence in his theory of catheters being inserted into human hearts for diagnostic purposes that he inserted one into his own; Wilhelm Roentgen, who in his basement developed the X-ray machine; and Jean-Baptiste Denis who performed the first recorded blood transfusion with lamb's blood. From Typhoid Mary to Dolly and everything in between, here are the healers and dreamers who marched resolutely ahead of their time - and altered the face of medicine for all time. There is a small remainder mark on the bottom. ; Remainder; 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall .

Description:
Berkeley, CA: University Of California Press. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1997. First Edition. Hardcover. The author of this memoir lived in Japan during her childhood, and her adult years in the United States. She went back to Japan in the 1990's to tend to her gravely ill grandmother; modern postwar Japan made a great impression on her, which she discusses in juxtaposition with her life in the United States. Many subjects are important to both countries including facets of how the war affected individuals, biracial/bicultural families, last farewells of kamikaze pilots, and the dehumanizing effect of Japan's postwar economic boom. A strong, intimate look at happenings mostly not familiar to Americans. Running through this essay is the realization that the personal and the political are perpetually entangled, that past and present converge and overlap. The jacket is clear mylar and scuffed at red cloth band. ; Octavo (standard book size); 204 pages .

New York: Weatherhill. New in New dust jacket. 1995. First Edition. Hardcover. This is a beautiful cloth-bound volume. During the Meiji period (1868-1912) the Japanese laid the foundations for what is now the most advanced nation in Asia. Like Victorian Britian, a potent model, Meiji Japan was characterized by faith in progress, civilization and the growth of empire. The architecture and feats of engineering described and illustrated in this volume stand as monuments to the dynamism and ambitions of the age, and to Japan's transformation from an isolated feudal society into a modern and remarkable cosmopolitan nationan-state. Factories and schools, palaces and prisons, private homes, churches, hospitals, railways, canals, bridges, shipyards, parks, and museums are presented with careful attention to both the nuances of their design and construction and their broader significance to the people who built and used them. Includes a guide to Meiji sites and an extensive index. ; 4to - over… Read More

Padell Book Company. Near Fine with no dust jacket. 1951. Reprint. Hardcover. The author is a former inspector of Federal prisons. "Why is there such a wall of silence encircling the subject of Sex in Prison? We are living in a frank and realistic age, yet the subject of sex in prison - so provocative, so vital, so timely in view of the recent epidemic of prison riots - is shrouded in dread silence. The voluminous literature concerning American prisons is not only sparse when it comes to dealing with this important subject of sex, but has evaded its discussion as much as possible. Prison officials contacted by the publisher were wary and non-committal. Two communications printed here will serve to give the reader an idea of the type of fruitless replies which the publisher received in his quest for data on the subject. Nonetheless, this is a fascinating book, and includes prisoner poetry. 256 pages including 2 appendices. The binding is reddish cloth with minor wear at both spine… Read More
