This book delves into the fascinating history of Pisa, a prominent Italian maritime republic that played a pivotal role in the Mediterranean during the Middle Ages. The author traces Pisa's rise to power as a major naval and commercial force, its fierce rivalry with neighboring city-states, and its eventual decline under the influence of the Anjou dynasty and the rise of Florence. Through meticulous research and analysis of primary sources, the author sheds light on Pisa's complex political landscape, its internal struggles between Ghibellines and Guelfs, and its intricate relationship with the Papacy and the Holy Roman Empire. The book explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the delicate balance of power in a tumultuous era of Italian history. The author's insights into the dynamics of medieval politics, the interplay of religion and power, and the economic factors that shaped Pisa's destiny provide a valuable perspective on the broader history of Italy and Europe.

NOT present] ; The 1968 second edition of Biological Science: An Inquiry Into Life (BSCS Yellow Version), edited by John A. Moore and published by Harcourt, Brace & World, was a seminal high school textbook emphasizing inquiry-based learning, molecular biology, and evolution. It aimed to move beyond rote memorization, focusing on scientific investigation rather than just facts. Key details regarding this 1968 edition include: Focus on Inquiry: The text and accompanying laboratory guide emphasized investigation, challenging students to analyze data and formulate hypotheses rather than just observing. Content and Structure: It was designed for 10th or 11th-grade students, heavily incorporating modern biological findings from the 1950s and 60s, including molecular biology and genetics. Reception: While lauded for promoting scientific thinking, some contemporary reviews suggested that despite the title, the text still contained a "good deal of telling" rather than pure inquiry, and it was quite rigorous. Impact: This BSCS text was considered a landmark in reforming biology education in the United States, moving away from descriptive biology toward a process-oriented approach. The book was frequently revised and reapproved for use in classrooms throughout the late 1960s and 1970s. ; 5 Excellent presentation of evolution, integrating synthetic theory.

(Betts: 34-234) Signed by J.R. Capablanca, M. Botvinnik. Dr. Alekhine, W. Winter, G.A. Thomas, M. Euwe, and E. Bogoljubow  on paper slip laid in. Round by round commentary by A J Mackenzie. First edition. Nottingham 1936, was a 15-player round robin chess tournament held August 10-28 at the University of Nottingham. It was one of the strongest of all time.Dr. J. Hannak wrote in his 1959 biography of Emanuel Lasker that "when it comes to awarding the plum for 'the greatest chess tournament ever', in 1936, the Nottingham Tournament was certainly just that". W. H. Watts in the Introduction to the tournament book called Nottingham 1936 "the most important chess event the world has so far seen". It is one of the very few tournaments in chess history to include five past, present, or future world champions (Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine, Euwe and Botvinnik)! A number of other prominent players, such as Reuben Fine, Samuel Reshevsky and Salo Flohr, were in the tournament. According to the unofficial Chessmetrics ratings, the tournament was (as of March 2005) one of only five tournaments in history that had the top eight players in the world playing, and was (in terms of the leading players playing) the third strongest in history. All of the top twelve players on Chessmetrics' August 1936 rating list competed in the tournament except for numbers nine and ten (Andor Lilienthal and Paul Keres). The event is also notable for being Lasker's last major event, and for Botvinnik achieving the first Soviet success outside the Soviet Union. In parallel with the main tournament, the venue also played host to the 1936 British Women's Championship. The event was won by Edith Holloway (1868-1956), age sixty-eight and a former winner in 1919.
