Description:
xx+644 pages with frontispiece, appendixes and index. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 7") issued in wrappers. From the library of George M Foster. First edition.Francisco del Paso y Troncoso, 1842-1916, sixth son in a family of 10 born to Pedro del Paso y Troncoso and Teodora Medina in Veracruz. He was locally educated for a mercantile career, but in 1867 his family sent him to Mexico City to prepare for a future in Medicine. However, through accident and luck, he turned to preparation a history of medicine in Mexico. He laid out an elaborate plan that encompassed examination of Aztec science as a prelude to that in the colonial and national periods. His completed parts of aboriginal botany, astronomy and medicine appeared in the MNA Anales. He never finished his thesis or received a degree. He was appointed Visitor to the National Museum in 1888, and successively was named acting and then permanent director (1889), a post he nominally held until his death. He reorganized the publication programs,…

Description:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.
