› Find signed collectible books: 'American National Biography: Supplement 1'
Told more as stories than history lessons, the biographies in American National Biography Supplement I recount the tales of all the different people who shaped America--leaders, composers, entertainers, entrepreneurs, writers, scientists, and outlaws. Each one written by an expert in the field and masterfully woven together to present the most accurate and up-to-date information, the entries bring forth a powerful narrative of America's past and some of the most important figures that went into its formation.
As the first in a series, ANB Supplement I extends the coverage from the original ANB to include notables who died prior to the end of 1999. This adds another four years of captivating history to the original 24-volume print edition's cutoff date of 1995.
Among the biographies in the Supplement are articles first published in the ANB Online. The result is hour after absorbing hour spent exploring the dance of Gene Kelly and the music of Ella Fitzgerald along with the lives of Revolutionary War General Peter Gansevoort and literary scholar Fredson Bowers, among many, many others.
With over 400 new listings, bibliographies after each entry, and a cumulative revised index of occupations and realms of renown, the Supplement continues the ANB tradition of bringing the people who have meant so much to this country to the forefront. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'A Calendar of the Correspondence of Charles Darwin, 1821-1882'
Charles Darwin's correspondence provides a unique window on Darwin's working methods, the atmosphere of intellectual revolution of his time, and his doubts, anxieties, and false starts that are now little known. This volume is the most comprehensive catalog to date of all presently known letters between Charles Darwin and his friends and associates. The editors of Darwin's Correspondence give information on the source and location of each letter, as well as a brief summary of the content of each. First published in 1985 (by Garland Publishing Company), the Calendar has been thoroughly updated to include recently discovered material, corrected dates, and reinterpretations of known letters. These amendments and additions--1500 in number--are all carefully listed in a new supplement. An essential reference book for all scholars of Darwin, this Calendar will also form a vital companion to The Correspondence of Charles Darwin, a multi-volume work currently in progress, eight volumes of which have already been published by Cambridge University Press.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Constitutionalism and Democracy: Transitions in the Contemporary World The American Council of Learned Societies Comparative Constitutionalism Pap'
The political changes which have occurred in the last three years have been phenomenal--the dissolving of the former Soviet Union, the impending union of Western Europe, and the evolution of democracy in Eastern Europe. What changes have occurred in the legal structure of these countries? How have their constitutions been affected by these developments? Stanley Katz, Douglas Greenberg, and other scholars and politicians from numerous countries discuss in this work the experiences of constitutionalism. Previously, little work has been done in this field, but now Constitutionalism and Democracy represents the range and depth for serious constitutional analysis. Discussing concrete issues such as human rights, nationalism, and pluralism, this volume will be essential in understanding the phenomenon of constitutionalism in various parts of the world. [via]

"This is the formal report of the Committee on Reserch Libraries appointed and sponsored by the American Council of Learned Societies. The ACLS Committee was created in response to a request from the National Advisory Commission on Libraries for a study of research libraries and recommendations for their future development."The ACLS undertook this study with alacrity in view of its enduring commitment to the effective performance of the nation's research libraries and its knowledge of the manifold problems with which they are now beset."At its first meeting on March 2, 1967, the Committee drew up a plan of inquiry and assigned responsibility for each major topic to two or three if its members. Papers were then commissioned and as they were written provided a basis for discussion at succeeding meetings attendend by their authors. The Commiittee's report was then drawn from the minutes of the meetings and the papers, several of which are incorported in it." --Frederick Burkhardt
