Description:
1588 1st ed Pliny the Younger Epistles Panegyricus Vesuvius ROME Early ChurchPliny the Younger, one of the most notable 1st-century historians, is best remembered for his written works and orations. His best-known, and still widely popular work is his 'Epistles', which was a series of personal letters to other Roman figures. They give an important view of Roman everyday life as well as an interesting perspective on Pliny's views against Christianity. However, the most important epistles concern Pliny's account of the Mount Vesuvius eruption. Tacitus, a friend of Pliny, wanted to know more about the death of his uncle, Pliny the Elder, and the eruption itself.This 1588 first edition was published by Jean Richer and includes a dedicatory epistle from Claude MignaultItem number: #9875Price: $599PLINY the YoungerCai Plinii Secundi Novocomensis, Epistolarum libri decem.

1904 Confederate Civil War Reminiscences General John B Gordon Union Memorial"Gordon had a way of putting things to the men that was irresistible, and he showed the men, at all times, that he shrank from nothing in battle on account of himself." –Lt. Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson
General Robert E. Lee considered his compatriot, John Brown Gordon to be one of his most reliable and trustworthy generals during the US Civil War. Himself a general in the Confederate States Army, Gordon would endure not one, but two severe illnesses alongside eight significant wounds on the battlefield.
A rare "memorial edition" of Gen. John B. Gordon's famous autobiography, 'Reminiscences of the Civil War.' Held in high regard by many for its highly entertaining contents, this biographical work offers fascinating insight from a prominent Confederate military leader during one of the darkest times in US history.

"In this book, real life photos are used to help young people feel more comfortable with interacting with other children and making new friends. A Note From Fred Rogers: A child's first visit with a pediatrician usually comes soon after birth. It may be months or even years later, though, that a child first shows fear about going to see a doctor. The worry of an injection or some other unfamiliar medical procedure can trigger that fear. It can also appear because another family member may be feeling medical anxieties. And, of course, new body awareness and needs for privacy develop naturally in children's early years, so all these feelings can make it very hard for them to let doctors investigate the workings of…

ISBN: 0820317713 "Ranging in subject from England's poor laws to the Human Genome Project, The Rhetoric of Eugenics in Anglo-American Thought is one of the first books to look at the history and development of the eugenics movement in Anglo-American culture. Unlike other works that focus on the movement's historical aberrancies or the claims of its hardline proponents, this study highlights the often unnoticed ways in which the language and ideas of eugenics have permeated democratic discourse. Marouf A. Hasian, Jr. not only examines the attempts of philosophers, scientists, and politicians to balance the rights of the individual against the duties of the state, but also shows how African Americans, Catholics, women, and other communities--dominant and marginalized--have appropriated or confronted the rhetoric of eugenics. / Hasian…
