Henry Morton Stanley was born in 1841 in Wales illegitimately as John Rowlands, abandoned as an infant by his mother, passed around to various relatives and eventually sent to the St. Asaph Union Workhouse for the Poor after his family members threw him out. As a child, Rowlands suffered years of abuse by his family and in the workhouse. In 1859, at the age of eighteen, he emigrated to America and began the process of reinventing himself, pretending to be an American and taking the name of Henry Hope Stanley, a successful cotton merchant he claimed he had met in New Orleans who informally adopted him and became a father figure to the young Stanley. In his autobiography, Stanley looks back on this time as being heavily affected by the abuse he endured and the stigma of illegitimacy. During the Civil War, Stanley became one of the few people to serve in the Confederate Army, Union Army, and the U. S. Navy, and after the war, he became a newspaper correspondent for the St. Louis "Missouri Democrat" covering General Hancock's army in the Indian campaigns. Stanley elaborates on his adventures during the Civil War and the Plains Indian Wars in the first half of the book. In 1868, Stanley began covering the war in Abyssinia for the "New York Herald," which sent him to Africa to find David Livingstone a year later, a feat that garnered him his first taste of international renown. Stanley then spent the following twenty years exploring and charting the African interior, authoring several best-selling books, and working as a colonial administrator for the Congo Free State of Belgian King Leopold II. In this latter endeavor, Stanley helped to establish one of the most controversial and violent colonial projects in the history of European imperialism. During this time, he worked on his autobiography, "as he indicates, out of a desire to make his nature and character comprehensible to the world which knew him in the day of his fame" (DAB). However, Stanley died in 1904 before he could finish it, and his wife, Dorothy, whom he married in 1890, stepped in to edit and prepare it for publication, completing the work from Stanley's notes and drafts. It was then published in London and Boston in 1909. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.

If you're tired of following the rules, dating people from Mars and Venus, gorging on chicken soup for your soul, or getting lost on a road less traveled, then it's time you listened to Ben Stiller and Janeane Garofalo, two people who actually sweat the small stuff . . . Because, let's face it, if your body doesn't sweat, it dies--much like Ben and Janeane's train wreck of a relationship many years ago. From that experience came wisdom and self-reproachment. Now, in Feel This Book, they tackle the tough questions: - Is love necessary? - How can I make money off my spouse? - Compassion--is it overrated? - Why can't I sleep around and still love you? - How many times have you told your significant other that you would pick up something for dinner on your way home from the office, and next thing you knew you're at an all-night eatery with some hermaphrodite you found on the strip, having eggs and bacon at three in the morning?

Cicero wrote On Obligations (De Officiis) in late 44 BC after the assassination of Julius Caesar to provide principles of behavior for aspiring politicians. It has subsequently played a seminal role in the formation of ethical values in western Christendom. Adopted by the fourth-century Christian humanists, it became transmuted into the moral code of the high Middle Ages. Thereafter, in the Renaissance from the time of Petrarch, and in the Age of Enlightenment that followed, it was given central prominence in discussion of the government of states. Today, when corruption and conflict in political life are the focus of so much public attention, On Obligations is still the foremost guide to good conduct. This new edition is based on a more systematic examination of the vast manuscript tradition than has previously been attempted, and shows with new clarity the major contribution to the improvement of the text made by scribes and readers of the later manuscripts, both in the Middle Ages and in the Renaissance.

In 1938, Freund had the opportunity to photograph James Joyce in Paris through her connections with Adrienne Monnier and Sylvia Beach. Joyce hated being photographed, and during one of the sessions he hit is head on a light, which cut his forehead. Joyce exclaimed, "I'm bleeding. Your damned photos will be the death of me," which he said, "forgetting in his pain that he had made it a rule never to swear in the presence of a lady." Freund was in a taxi crash right after the photo-session, which caused her cameras to crash to the ground. She called Joyce and said, "Mr. Joyce, you damned my photos you put some kind of a bad Irish spell on them and my taxi crashed. I was almost killed and your photos are ruined". Being superstitious, Joyce was convinced that his cursing in front of a lady had caused the crash, so he invited Freund back to his home for a second round of photographs. Time Magazine used one of these photos for its cover on May 8, 1939. The entire series of photographs would eventually be published in 1965 in James Joyce in Paris: His Final Years by Freund and V. B. Carleton and a Preface by Simone de Beauvoir. Freund became famous for her portraits of literary geniuses, including Samuel Beckett, Virginia Woolf, George Bernard Shaw and many others.

Andrew Duncan, the son of Dr. James Duncan, a well-known London practitioner, went to Highgate School and King's College, London. He was an outstanding student, winning the Leathes prize, the senior scholarship and three gold medals. After qualifying in 1874, he received junior appointments at King's College, Charing Cross and St. Mary's Hospitals, as well as the Stanhope Street Dispensary and the Seamen's Hospital. He also studied at Vienna, Strasbourg and Berlin and obtained the F. R. C. S. In 1877. A year later he denied himself the successful career as a consultant of which his qualifications gave promise, and entered the Bengal Medical Service as a surgeon. After passing out of Netley, where he won the Parkes medal, he was involved in the Afghan War of 1878-80 and seriously wounded at Charasiah. He served also in the Hazara campaign of 1891. But he received none of the important civil appointments normally granted to promising I. M. S. Officers. It was commonly supposed that his advancement was hindered by his authorship of a paper entitled The Unsanitary Tendencies of State Sanitation (1885) , in which he censured the chief sanitary authorities in India; this same paper, in expanded form, was better appreciated at home, where it was awarded the Parkes memorial prize in 1886 and appeared in book form under the title of The Prevention of Disease in Tropical and Sub-Tropical Campaigns in 1888. Duncan retired with the rank of lieutenant-colonel in 1900 and thereafter practised in London. He was appointed physician to the Albert Dock branch of the Seamen's Hospital and to the Westminster and Western General Dispensaries and lecturer on tropical medicine at the London School of Tropical Medicine and the Westminster Hospital. He published a Guide to Sick Nursing in the Tropics in 1908. He died in London, a man of courage, versatility and singular modesty. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
