Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. This is the 1992 Reprint of "1001 Afternoons in Chicago:" by Ben Hecht, with wonderful pen and ink illustrations by Herman Rosse, published by the University of Chicago Press. The following is from the book's blurb : "In 1921 Ben Hecht wrote a column for the 'Chicago Daily News', which his edit…or called 'journalism extraordinary; journalism that invaded the realm of literature!' Hecht's collection of sixty-four of those pieces, illustrated with striking pen drawings by Herman Ross, is a timeless caricature or urban American life" Brothertown talking here : . and specifically Chicago urban life, which included all that one might expect from the jazz age : nightclubs, jazz and blues music, conspicuously eccentric persons, crowded life, back alleys, automotive dreams and craziness, big city entertainment personalities --- and looming over it all the towering skyscrapers that were championed as heralding the new American life. And, again from the blurb , said "the New York Times" : "Mr. Hecht is attempting to do for Chicago what Dickens did for London; he stands appalled before the spectacle of the streets, with their tumultuous, mysterious throngs." Further, L. S. Klepp, of "Voice Literary Supplement", is also quoted on the rear cover: " The hard-boiled audacity and wit that became Hecht's signature as Hollywood's most celebrated screen-writer are conspicuous in these vignettes. Most of them are comic and sardonic, some strike muted tragic or somber atmospheric notes . The best are timeless character sketches that have taken on an added interest as shards of social history."

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. This is a 1940s reprint of a book first published in 1869. The title page reads, "Bundling : Its origin, Progress and Decline in America", by Henry Reed Stiles. (The spine's title label reads : "On Bundling'). The book is decorated with humorous wood cuts by Herb Roth, a leading illustrator. On anoth…er edition of Mr. Stile's book is the following: "Bundling was an important part of American courting life, enjoyed by all good country maids and men and blessed by all honest folk. During the nineteenth century, many elders clothed bundling in a licentious mantle, and a dark veil was drawn over the subject. Henry Reed Stiles, no believer in the theory that objectionable portions of history should be kept in the shadows, here defrocks these misconceptions and sheds light on this lost American custom and its origins." Bundling --- ahhh bundling --- 'twas a polite custom that created much wonderment and humor. Mayhaps it would be good to revive its use. Peruse this quaint volume and see if, perchance, thou wouldest deign to have it revived. The text includes a history and a collection of humorous verse, which are both for and against bundling. And I must add - Mr. Stiles does not restrict himself to early American courting , but touches on the premarital activities of a number of foreign cultures around the world.

["Weinert war ein deutscher Anthropologe, der wä hrend des NS-Regimes im Sinne der NS-Rassenhygiene wirkte..,1934 wurde Weinert Mitglied im NS- Lehrerbund, gehörte aber erst seit 1937 der NSDAP an. Er vertra…t um diese Zeit einen Stammbaum, der von Gibbon über Orang- Utan, Gorilla und Schimpanse (als Gipfel von Seitenästen) zum Menschen aufstieg - im Gegensatz zu älteren Vorstellungen, in denen die Neger vom Gorilla und die mongolische Rasse vom Orang Utan abstammen sollten. Er ä nderte seine vorherigen Anschauungen nur wenig, fasste sie aber in die unter der neuen Regierung erfolgversprechenden Auskünfte. Dies gilt insbesondere für die Ä usserungen als Professor in Kiel, wohin er erst 1934 vertretungsweise berufen wurde und seine Habilitationsschrift Biologische Grundlagen für Rassenkunde und Rassenhygiene. Im April 1935 wurde ihm die Kieler Professur angetragen, er übernahm das dortige Institut für Anthropologie und versprach, dieses im nationalsozialistischen Sinne zu fü hren...In den folgenden Jahren bis 1939 unternahm er verschiedene Ausgrabungen in Italien und Frankreich, die einen Aufschluss über die Herkunft des Urmenschen" und der Neger" geben sollten. Als er jedoch in seinen Verö ffentlichungen in den Jahren 1934 und 1935 eine Herkunft und Nä he der Menschen zu den Menschenaffen ausbreitete, stiss er bei Heinrich Himmler auf Ablehnung.
