New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1930. Red cloth covered boards with faded gilt titling and slight sunning to spine. Some bumping to spine ends and corners. Spine shaken. Clean, clear copy; 382 pages including index. As the writer in the family, Dodd followed her father as the appointed ambassador to Germany during the Second World War era, not realizing how the Nazi regime would affect their family's lives. During her time in Berlin, Dodd familiarized herself with many in high places, hearing proficient gossip and reporting her understanding of Nazi leaders, diplomats, foreign emissaries , and the fear-mongering, torturous, and cruel activity of the Nazi regime. Dodd's trip to Russia magnified the unpleasantness of Germany at the time, and by the end of their stay in Berlin, the family was more than ready to return home. This book depicting Dodd's stay in Germany is marked by the shift in her family's support of the Nazis to their growing anger with the events they witness.. First Edition (stated). Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".

Slough: Ricardo Consulting Engineers Ltd, 1990.. This edition of Sir Harry Ricardo's Memoirs has been produced to mark the 75th Anniversary of the foundation of Ricardo Consulting Engineers. "Because the author felt that radical development in the early days of the internal combustion engine were of more interest than the steady progress of recent times, and because of his awareness of the influence of his own early activities on his career, the emphasis of this book is on the early days and it ends at a time before World War II. ...This is the life story of a pioneer in mechanical engineering written in a manner that reflects the zest and passionate interest that has led the author to the top of his profession." Pp.264, black & white photo portrait frontispiece + 16 further photo illustrations. Black cloth, dustwrapper has edge wear bu now has a removable clear protective wrap. Scarce. VG/VG.

Description:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.
