Binding is tight. Pages are clean, however only a couple of pages do have some margin marks. Covers have light edgewear and rubbing. "Through the artist's own words, we discover new facets of Michelangelo the man: his susceptibility to visions, his ironic sense of humor, his addiction to maxims, his irate temper, his penchant for self-debasement. Michelangelo's poetry, correspondence, and valuable recollections of his conversations heighten our understanding of his art. His descriptions and opinions give us a first-hand commentary on the life of the great Renaissance artist, a life which he described as a 'sweet chamber in hell.'" 0206N00195A6 Biography, Art 005692

Chicago, 1910-29: Building, Planning, and Urban Technology Condit, Carl W.
Chicago University of Chicago Press 1973 0226114562 Cloth Very Good Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Brown boards with gold lettering on spine. Binding is tight. Pages are clean. Slight shelfwear. Half title page soiled and one page creases at margin. DJ shows minor edgewear with small closed tears. "In this thoroghly illustrated study, Carl W. Condit introducts a new kind of urban history: a unique approach to commercial building that may be regarded as a technical biography of the American city. Professor Condit describes those human activities that together provide the basis of organized community existence - including the development of the entire range of urban technology as well as the processes of growth and decline in urban architecture and construction. The author focuses on Chicago - a city that has manifested the best and the worst of urban technology, a city that in mid-century presented a perfect paradox of brilliant architectural achievement standing beside the failure to produce a decent human environment for the majority of its citizens. This volume chronicles the building activity that took place in Chicago from 1910 - when the city instituted its famous Burnham Plan of renewal - until the depression brought building to a halt. Envisioning a metropolis of well-ordered spaces and splendid buildings, the great Burnham Plan also provided for boulevards, squares, monuments, and river promenades. It was designed to allow easy circulation of hundreds of thousands of people and to display 'the spectacle of the highest civic art constructed on a scale adequate to the immense number of daily visitors and hence to the new industrial city itself." 1007N0100D19 Architecture 010762

The Armies of the Streets: The New York City Draft Riots of 1863 Cook, Adrian

Brown boards with gold lettering in red block. Binding is tight. Pages are clean. Indexed. Slight shelfwear. DJ shows minor edgewear with small amount of chipipng at top near corner. Lightly soiled. "In July 1863 New York City experienced widespread rioting unparalleled in the history of the nation. Here for the first time is a scholarly analysis of the Draft Riots, dealing with motives and with the reasons for the recurring civil disorders in nineteenth-century New York: the appalling living conditions, the corruption of the civic government, and the geographical and economic factors that led to the social upheaval. Using affidavits and court records, Mr. Cook presents the disturbances from the rioters' and the victims; points of view as well as that of the authorities. In contrast to the exaggerated claims of crowd involvement and casualties, he provides a careful accounting, based on the records. He relates in graphic detail individual incidents of violence directed toward persons - especially blacks - and destruction of property. Despite the appalling frequency of disorders in the streets during these years, the police were neither trained nor equipped to cope with the situation." 0608N0100G18 History War 010813

These synonyms are not those to be found as such in any previously existing dictionary, book of synonyms, or thesaurus, but, with only slight overlapping, cover the unusual, dialectic, archaic, rare, and obsolete equivalents of the common words." 0305N00000E12 Reference 007992

Jubal Early's Raid on Washington: 1864 Cooling, B. Franklin;Cooling, Benjamin Franklin
Baltimore, Maryland Nautical & Aviation Publishing Company of America 1989 093385286X First Printing Hard Cover Very Good Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Maroon boards with gold printing on spine. Binding is tight. Pages are clean. Minor shelfwear. DJ shows slight edgewear. Colors bright. "The fate of the nation hung in the balance for two hot July days in 1864. After two weeks of hard marching, General Jubal A. Early had positioned his troops outside of Washington. General Robert E. Lee was relying on Early to relieve the pressure Ulysses S. Grant was putting on Petersburg. "Old Jube" possessed the right mix of brash independence and fierce loyalty to the Southern cause to stage a convincing attack on the enemy capital - Mr. Lincoln's City. Jubal Early's famous "raid" was to be the last Confederate invasion, yet it severly shook up the Union leadership. President Lincoln drove out to see how things were going each day of the attack. Traditionally seen as a prelude to the Valley Campaign of 1864, the author asserts that the July battles for Washington and Maryland were possibly even more pivotal." 0608N0100F18 Military History 010837

Methods changes - production standards - incentives - manning data - design - materials - job evaluation - maintenance - operating reports - training - performance reviews - job descriptions - these are some of the vital tools which the foreman must use effectively as a member of management. The foreman need not be an industrial engineer. But if he is equipped with a solid foundation of industrial engineering facts he not only will increase his value tremendously, but he also will spell the difference between high productivity or mediocre plant operation." 0107N0000B11 Business 009253
