Drawing on inexhaustible reserves of energy and knowledge, the distinguished British historian J. A. S. Grenville tells a story as remarkable for its sweep and drama as for its deft attention to detail. From the economic fallout of Versailles to the emergence of Japan, from the Great Depression to the Spanish Civil War, from the Soviet threat to the Middle East Crisis, we see history unfolding here and encounter the forces and personalities that have transformed the world. Grenville paints clear, sharp portraits of great events and of key figures such as Churchill and Hitler, Kennedy and Khrushchev, Mao and Gandhi, Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed and in-depth look at typhus fever, a disease that has plagued humanity for centuries. Examining the historical context of the disease, the author presents a meticulous study conducted in Poland in 1920. The book delves into the technical aspects of the research, including the meticulous maintenance of louse colonies, the methods of dissecting and examining lice, and the staining techniques employed. It meticulously explores the clinical aspects of the disease, analyzing the symptoms, the course of the illness, and the treatment options available at the time. The text also delves into the pathology of typhus, providing a detailed description of the microscopic and macroscopic changes that occur in the body of infected individuals. The book explores the complex relationship between lice and the disease, investigating the role of these insects in transmission and the identification of Rickettsia prowazekii, the microorganism responsible for typhus. In examining the complexities of the disease and its relationship to its vector, the author provides a foundation for understanding the transmission, treatment, and impact of typhus, a disease that continues to present a significant public health challenge in many parts of the world.

Hardcover (Quarter Cloth). Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Gilt tooled red cloth backstrip with red cloth sides, illustrated in black and white. Light shelf wear to wrapper and a little discolouration to top edge of text block, but contents otherwise clean and sound. - The first full biography about the distinguished US surveyor-inventor and his sons. 75 Illustrations, references. It was June 1840 when U.S. surveyor William Austin Burt first entered Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a wilderness that, according to Henry Clay, "stretched beyond the remotest settlement of the United States". Neither Burt nor his sons could have envisioned the role they would play in helping shape the future of this area. William Austin would soon discover a new source of wealth for Michigan and the nation, and the event would confirm the value of Burt's unique invention for surveying the expanding U.S. Frontier, the solar compass. His son John would become a leader in the growth and development in the Upper Peninsula, particularly Marquette County. William Austin was on the Michigan Territorial Council, and in 1833, named associate judge for Macomb County Circuit Court. In that same year, at age 41, he received his first contract as a deputy surveyor and began surveying public lands. Size: Quarto. 188 pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
