DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in black cloth with titles present to the spine. Boards lightly rubbed and worn. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid. This is the first volume of the series Ages in Chaos, in which Immanuel Velikovsky undertakes a reconstruction of the history of antiquity. With utmost precision and the exciting style of a presentation that's typical for him he shows, beyond doubt, what nobody would consider possible: in the conventional history of Egypt - and therefore also of many neighboring cultures - a span of 600 years is described, which has never happened! This assertion is as unbelievable and outrageous as the assertions in Worlds in Collision or Earth in Upheaval. But Velikovsky takes us on a detailed and highly interesting journey through the - corrected - history and makes us a witness to how many question marks disappear, doubts vanish and corresponding facts from the entire Near East furnish a picture of overall conformity and correctness. You will meet an Egyptian eyewitness of the biblical plagues and the mysterious Queen of Sheba. You will find out to where her legendary visit led her. You will, moreover, learn surprising details about the temple of Solomon and learn who was behind its sacking. In the end you do not only wonder how conventional historiography has come into existence, but why it is still taught and published. Just as Velikovsky became the father of "neo-catastrophism" by Worlds in Collision, he became the father of "new chronology" by Ages in Chaos. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 350 pages ., Doubleday, 1952, 3, London: Punch, 1953. This original printed appearance of a Punch cartoon featuring Winston S. Churchill comes from the personal collection of Gary L. Stiles, author of Churchill in Punch (Unicorn Publishing Group, 2022). His book is the first ever effort to definitively catalog, describe, and contextualize all of the many Punch cartoons featuring Churchill. This cartoon titled "THE ADMIRABLE WINSTON" appeared thus on p.497 of the 21 October 1953 issue of Punch. The artist is Michael Cummings (1919-1997), who worked for Punch for more than 30 years. The cartoon's caption is a verse supplied by B. A. Young, Punch writer and theatre critic: "For talents that both scintillate and vary Few in our age have shown themselves thy betters, Academician Extraordinary, And winner of the Nobel Prize for letters! Thou honorary member of Parnassus! Adopted son of half a dozen Muses! - Whom, rightly dubbed Immortal by the masses, Only the sourest Socialist abuses - How well the look, now frowning, now angelic, on That noble brow of thine contrives to show The easy way thy spirit skips from Helicon To Downing Street in half an hour or so." After being Leader of the Opposition since July 1945, Churchill finally returned to the premiership in October 1951 at nearly 77 years old. And as his premiership progressed and his infirmities became manifest, pressure mounted for him to relinquish leadership. But so, too, grew his accolades. This tribute to Churchill references both his Nobel Prize in Literature (awarded in 1953) and his being named an Honorary Adacemician Extraordinary of the Royal Academy of Arts. Churchill's second and final premiership would end with his retirement on 5 April 1955. He would spend his final decade as “a living national memorial" of the time he had lived and the Nation, Empire, and free world he had served. Punch or The London Charivari began featuring Churchill cartoons in 1900, when his political career was just beginning. That political career would last two thirds of a century, see him occupy Cabinet office during each of the first six decades of the twentieth century, carry him twice to the premiership and, further still, into the annals of history as a preeminent statesman. And throughout that time, Punch satirized Churchill in cartoons – more than 600 of them, the work of more than 50 different artists. It was a near-perfect relationship between satirists and subject. That Churchill was distinctive in both persona and physical appearance helped make him easy to caricature. To his persona and appearance he added myriad additional satirical temptations, not just props, like his cigars, siren suits, V-sign, and hats, but also a variety of ancillary avocations and vocations, like polo, painting, brick-laying, and writing. All these were skewered as well. Some Punch cartoons were laudatory, some critical, and many humorous, like the man himself. Nearly always, Churchill was distinctly recognizable, a larger-than-life character whose presence caricature served only to magnify., Punch, 1953, 0, Tulsa, OK: World Publishing Co., 1988.
