EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION IN JAPAN
|
|
|
Sophia University, Japan and Charles Tuttle Co.: 1967 148 pages, and 49 Tables. "In a short period of time from the beginning of the modern school system, Japan enforced compulsory attendence and wiped out illiteracy. This eagerness to give top priority to the problems of education has been manifested again in recent years when television appeared as a possible instrument of education.This book is the first attempt to offer in a Western language a study both descriptive and analytical on the subject. Cultural differences, however, as well as the language barrier have contributed toward keeping the Japanese broadcasting system in the shadow, practically unknown in spite of its gigantic dimensions and importance."

LEGAL KIDNAPPING. What Happens To A Family When The Father Kidnaps Two Children
|
|
|
Beacon Press: 1977 The first printing, 148 pages. "The chances that a child close to you- your own child or grandchild- will be kidnapped are probably much greater than you suspect. You do not have to be rich for your children to be targets; their safe return may involve the local police but not the FBI; and you will not be able to prosecute the kidnaper. Not yet, because, despite the permanent wounds inflicted on a shocking and growing number of America families, parental kidnapping remains legal." FINE HARDCOVER, FINE DUST JAKET. . Hard Cover.

JOHN HOWARD AND THE PRISON-WORLD OF EUROPE. From Original And Authentic Documents
|
|
|
Robert Carter & Brothers: NY: ., 1850. 401 pages. "In his researches (the author), he has left but little if anything to reward any future inquirer; and, he has advanced far enough to answer his prominent design- to wit, that Howard was the father of Prison Science, and that the present advance state of prison discipline is owing to a return to those very views which, when first advanced by the Philanthropist, were ignorantly spurned." A fascinating look at the overall view of prisons in the 1850. The first chapter is a historical look at "the prison world before the days of Howard", then moves to Howard's life and onto the prison-world of England and the continent. A VERY GOOD HARDCOVER, WITH THE ORIGINAL BLIND STAMPED BOARDS. SOME FOXING IS PRESENT THROUGH OUT THE TEXT.. Hard Cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

Boston, Ma.: Otis Clapp & Son:, 1886. 278 pages. The author notes in his preface, "A review of mortuary statistics reveals the startling fact that nearly fifty per cent of deaths occur under the age of five years, about sixty per cent. of these being infants under twelve months. That this enormous blight of humanity is the legitimate outcome of ignorance or carelessness concerning the fundamental laws of life, and failure to conform to simple hygienic measures, becomes a melancholy probability in view of the significant fact that everywhere the chief decimating factor is NUTRITIONAL DISORDERS." As issued in it's original cloth,with some wear at the spine and cormers of boards, and front hinge has loosened. VERY GOOD- HARDCOVER.. Hard Cover.
