Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. This important book is "Foresight and Understanding : An Enquiry into the Aims of Science" by Stephen Toulmin. Its Foreword was written by Jacques Barzun. It was published as a Harper Torchbook in "The Science Library" in 1963, It is now Out of Print. (OP) The following is excerpted from Jacques Barzun's Foreword : " To know what science is, what it does, and how it affects other manifestations of mind is a task for the man who is at once critic, historian , and philosopher, and who has also been trained in one of the sciences as well as mathematics. Professor Toulmin, who is qualified in these ways, has the added merit of being a lucid and lively writer." Said Henry E. Kyburg in "The Philosophical Review" : "This is an interesting, well-written book, and a part of its burden is a thoroughly sound and much needed antidote to temporal provincialism."

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is "Sociology of the Renaissance" by Alfred von Martin, as translated by W. L. Luetkens. This edition was published by Harper & Row as a Harper Torchbook (# TB 1099) in its Academy Library Series. It has an Introduction by Wallace K, Ferguson. This is the 1963 First Torchbook Edition, which is also the First Paperback Edition. The following is excerpted from the Introduction by Mr. Ferguson : " 'Sociology of the Renaissance' is interesting, not only as a unique attempt to place the evolution of the dominant class of the Florentine society in relation to the whole cultural complex of the age, but, still more, because it marks the culmination of a definite stage in the socio-economic historiography devoted to the Renaissance during the opening decades of the Twentieth Century. As in his earlier studies, von Martin was endeavoring to discover and define the spirit or essence of the Renaissance. But now the 'ideal type' he placed in the foreground of his study was no longer the humanist, but rather the capitalist 'haute bourgeois' who represented the economically, politically, and culturally dominant class of the Renaissance, particularly as it existed in Florence, the 'bourgeois metropolis' which he regarded as most typical of the culture of the age ."

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. This is the First Edition of "Adventure of the Letter I" by Louis Simpson, published by Harper & Row as a paperback original. On the back cover is a brief blurb: "Louis Simpson's poetry has been widely acclaimed for its lyric and narrative power. In 1964 he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. This new collection presents the poems he has written since that time". Said Julian Symonds, literary critic of the "Sunday Times" : "These poems are elegies for a lost dream of civilization, pursued through an imagined Russia (the poet's mother was born there) into an imaginary innocent America that turns into the metropolitan wasteland where only the insensitive survive. Always intelligent, technically witty, lyrically absurd and tenderly comic as Chekhov, Simpson here achieves the effects he tries for with a deceptive look of effortlessness. This collection ranks with very good Stevens, finest Graves : an excellent vintage."

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. This is a signed and inscribed copy of "The Country Between Us" by Carolyn Forche; it's the Third Printing, published in 1982. "The Country Between Us" was a Lamont Poetry Selection of The Academy of American Poets for 1981. This copy is inscribed and signed in ink by Carolyn Forche on the title page ( "with very warm regards " dated 1990) These poems are a record of Forche's observations of what was happening in El Salvador. She was closely acquainted with Archbishop Romero, who urged her to return to the United States to tell her country what was truly happening in the war-torn Central American country - to relate the U. S. government's culpability through sponsoring brutality against the general population by a regime of militaristic dictators. Archbishop Romera was soon after assassinated. This edition is out of print. Denise Levertov had this to say about Forche's poetry : "Here's a poet who's doing what I want to do, what I want to see all of us poets doing in this time without any close parallels or precedents in history: she is creating poems in which there is no seam between the personal and political, lyrical and engaged. And she's doing it magnificently, with intelligence and musicality, with passion and precision." Margaret Atwood said: "Here is a poetry of courage and passion, which manages to be tender and achingly sensual and what is often called 'political' at the same time. This is a major new voice." Larry Levis said : " Forche's subject, El Salvadore, is one that could have been easily sentimentalized or sensationalized by a lesser Poet. And yet it is spoken of here with honesty and tenderness, even amidst its tortures. For these poems are not 'made up' at all, but come from the complexity and mire of human experience."

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 5th or later Edition. This is a signed and inscribed later printing of "Selected Poems" by the important Black poet Gwendolyn Brooks. She, aside from her importance as a leading Black poet, was one of the best American poets of the Twentieth Century. She was the first Black woman to receive a Pulitzer prize, and her poems still have the power, wisdom, and grace to charm readers. This copy of "Selected Poems" was issued in paperback format by Harper and Row (No. TD137) . A number line at the end of the book informs us that this was the 13th printing, issued in 1974. The book is inscribed and signed on the first page, "For Steve, Sincerely Gwendolyn Brooks". The book was signed at a reading that Brooks gave on March 25, 1980 at Mohawk Community College in Utica, New York. In the brochure printed for the occasion is printed the following : " Gwendolyn Brooks is one of the most highly-regarded living American authors. She has published more than a dozen books, and is editor of 'The Black Position', an annual magazine of essays. Pulitzer Prize - winner and Poet Laureate of Illinois, she has received thirty honorary doctorates, and was recently admitted to the National Institute of Arts and Letters." The following is excerpted from the rear cover write-up : "This new volume by a distinguished modern poet, recipient of the Pulitzer Prize in 1950, brings together the best of her work from three earlier books now out of print. It also presents a selection of new poems which have not appeared in book form. This book reaffirms Miss Brook's rich and varied gifts - her technical mastery, her compassionate, illuminating response to a world that is both special and universal, and her warm humanity."
