New York: Gramercy. Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1993. Hardcover. 0517093189 . Color Illustrations; 9 3/4 x 12; 137 pages; Hard cover is blue with white lettering on spine. DJ has slight rubbing, bumping; in a mylar cover. Pages are clean and tight; appears as if unused. Compiled and edited by G. H. Gregory. Exhaustively illustrated with 100+ mostly color, American posters from WW2. When you think of the weapons of WWII, what comes to mind? Planes, tanks, money? Bullets, machine guns, and grenade launchers? Yes, all of these were important tools in the effort to win the war. But so was information. In this case, government issued information. Over the course of the war the U. S. Government waged a constant battle for the hearts and minds of the public. Persuading Americans to support the war effort became a wartime industry, just as important as producing bullets and planes. The U. S. Government produced posters, pamphlets, newsreels, radio shows, and movies all designed to create a public that was 100% behind the war effort. "What American posters of WW2 lost in seriousness and high moral tone, they gained in directness of expession, graphic and appealing images, clever slogans, satire and humor. The subjects touched on every aspect of American wartime life--from enlistment in the armed forces to the recycling and conservation of resources in the home. The artistic styles reflected a consumer society grown sophisticated in the techniques of advertising". Oversized/3#. ., Gramercy, 1993, 3, MIT Press, 1978. Paperback. Good. Unmarked. Some wear and age tanning on cover. Illustrated. Includes "Structural Hierarchy in Science, Art and History" by Cyril Stanley Smith, "On Broken Symmetries" by Philip Morrison, "Visualization Lost and Regained: The Genesis of Quantum Theory in the Period 1913-27" by Arthur I. Miller, "The Mathematical Unconscious" by Seymour A. Papert, "Darwin's Tree of Nature" and other Images of Wide Scope" by Howard E. Gruber, and "Rationality and Intuition" by Geoffrey Vickers. Bibliography. Index. 180p., MIT Press, 1978, 2.5, This is a collection of apocrypha and other writings from the early Church. For the most part, the apocrypha are fanciful and imaginative legends and stories, all of which were not accepted as "canonical," that is, inspired Scripture, worthy to be read in church at Sunday Mass. As literature, these gospels etc. are fascinating glimpses into the thinking and history of an earlier time. As historical documents, they are unreliable, often heretical, and misleading.This book also provides an English text for some documents that do have lasting value, even if they are not canonical. Such documents include the letters of St. Ignatius of Antioch, for example, as well as the Epistle of Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hermas. Of special interest to historians is the First Epistle of Clement of Rome to the Corinthians. These documents give us some insight into the Church of that time. For example, the letter from Clement indicates the importance of the Church of Rome at an early date, as well as the fact that Clement is writing on behalf of the leadership of that community, as opposed to an individual bishop speaking on his own authority.The very first edition of this work dates from 1820, so the English translation, to our ears, is often stilted and archaic. However, the illustrations are cool; they are line drawings derived from early Christian art. The back of the dust jacket, for example, has a drawing of the Emperor Constantine presenting to Christ the canons of the Council of Nicea. Christ, with a big halo, much bigger than that of Constantine, raises his right hand in blessing, with two fingers held up. Christ is seated on a throne, like the chair of a bishop. His left hand holds a Gospel Book, as would a bishop., Gramercy, 1986, 5<
