Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 3rd Edition. A notable mid-20th-century educational work, Growing Up by Karl de Schweinitz (Third Edition, second printing, 1954; New York: The Macmillan Company) presents a clear and progressive introduction to human reproduction, birth, and early development for young readers. First published in 1928 and revised through subsequent editions (1935, 1953), the book reflects evolving postwar attitudes toward sex education, aiming to provide honest, age-appropriate explanations for children and families. This edition incorporates updated language and photographic illustrations to improve clarity and accessibility, maintaining its reputation as a pioneering text in educational publishing. The book is illustrated with black-and-white photographic plates and straightforward explanatory text, covering topics such as conception, fetal development, birth, and growth in both humans and animals. Its tone is direct yet sensitive, designed to answer common childhood questions (How was I born?) while avoiding euphemism. Intended for reading aloud or independent use by children, it was widely recognized for bridging a gap between scientific accuracy and parental guidance at a time when such topics were often avoided. This copy represents the Third Edition, second printing (1954), with Macmillan's New York imprint and original dust jacket priced at $2.25. The book is in Near Fine condition, with clean blue cloth boards, strong spine lettering, tight binding, and bright, unmarked pages showing only light natural toning. The dust jacket is Very Good, with moderate edge wear, small chips at corners and spine ends, light soiling, and a short closed tear, but remains complete and visually appealing. Karl de Schweinitz (1891-1966) was an American social worker and professor at the University of California, Los Angeles School of Social Welfare. A specialist in child development and family education, he wrote Growing Up to provide scientifically grounded yet accessible explanations of human development for young audiences, helping establish a more open and educational approach to discussing reproduction in mid-20th-century America.

Back panel features advert for "Ages in Chaos" and summary reviews from John J. O'Neill and Horace M. Kallen. Sharp early issue in near very good original wrapper. With this book Immanuel Velikovsky first presented the results of his decade of interdisciplinary research, founded modern catastrophism - based on eyewitness reports by our ancestors i.e. "myth" - and, shook the doctrine of conformity and uniformity of geology as well as Darwin's theory of evolution. He altered the nature and development of the solar system, Earth and humanity on a completely new basis - which faces continuing backlash. For a definitive reason - there is veracity in his models. "Worlds in Collision" - written in a brilliant, digestible and entertaining style - swith precise information - can be considered one of the most important and challenging books in the history of science. It is purported that this book was found open on Einstein's desk after his death. For all those who've wondered about the development of earth, history of mankind, traditions, religions, mythology or just the world as it is today, this book is an enduring must-read. Eleven-page index at back. 401 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. Levinson, Riki (Jacket Design) (illustratore).…
