From the library of Jack Jackson, the author of Manuscript Maps Concerning the Gulf Coast, Texas, and the Southwest (1519-1836); VG- condition hardcover with foxing on edges in VG condition dustjacket. Handwritten notes by Jackson in text. The Texas coast remained for a long time one of the least-known stretches of the American Atlantic littoral, and Galveston Bay, the coast's most prominent feature, was not even shown by commercial mapmakers until 1799. The extensive cartographic collection of the Rosenberg Library in Galveston documents the development of cartography for this region. The Rosenberg holds maps that show Galveston Bay from 1725 on, as well as the rest of Texas, the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea, and adjacent coasts. Its maps illustrate European exploration of the New World during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and the development of Texas during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This detailed guide to the important cartographic collection at the… Read More

Fine condition hardcover in like dustjacket with faint shelf wear, clean and unmarked, 256 pp. Between the mid-1830s and the late 1850s, authors such as Hannah Lee, Catharine Sedgwick, Eliza Follen, Maria McIntosh, and Maria Cummins wrote dozens of novels and stories depicting the effects of financial panic on the home and proposing solutions to economic instability.

"...although he came from a rural family and is not university educated, his drive was diverted to art rather than to amassing great wealth. Over the past decade, Thompson has executed around 600 paintings, and two separate versions of the remarkable Revelation murals (one 300 feet long and the other 175 feet in length). He has developed an unmistakable style which owes much to the lack of normal control of his arms and legs caused by his illness. He mixes his acrylic paints right on the canvases spread out on the floor, and paints very quickly. The wavy, unsteady execution of the images and the plentiful lettering around them is due to his physical impairment and he accepts that otherwise they would lack their dynamic excitement and childlike charm..."-Raw Vision Magazine

Very good condition hardcover in like dustjacket, clean and unmarked. Illustrated with color photographs, 96 pp. In Medieval and Renaissance Europe, where life expectancy was under 40 and the Catholic Church taught that, after dying, the soul faced a terrifying and uncertain onward journey, death was a major cultural preoccupation. This fascinating book sets out the beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife in a mainly Catholic Europe, and explores how these shaped attitudes to the visual arts.Explaining Medieval and Renaissance concepts of the afterlife, indulgences, purgatory, and salvation, this volume reveals how people of every background commissioned devotional works and wore protective amulets, built tombs, and went on pilgrimages – all to improve their soul's chances after death. Fully illustrated with images from a wide range of media including sculpture, jewelry, and painting, this is a unique look at the art of death.

VG- condition softcover, slightly rounded and curled corners, text appears unmarked, 240 pp. This book is a collection of papers presented at the NATO ASI conference Transdisciplinary Information Sharing for Decision-Making against Biological Threats. Traditionally, it has been natural disasters and industrial accidents which have posed the greatest threat to society, but increasingly, chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) emergencies present new challenges, with the potential to become global threats on an unprecedented scale. This has led to calls for the international community to implement a new way of thinking to enable better communication worldwide to counter the threat of global terrorism. A successful counter terrorism strategy requires cooperation between agencies traditionally reluctant to share information: governments, industry, the scientific community and civil society in general. The body of knowledge and experience being developed in this… Read More
