note: you'd think that the contributors list for a book purporting to feature "1oo voices" & "5oo visions" would number way into the hundreds but no; it's more often squibs about writers rather than any of their writing & the almost-complete-failure to acknowledge photographers (except Karsh) is downright shameful & deplorable. the editorial team on this book can go get fucked with something scaly with rust; may they suffer endless omissions of acknowledgement for their own works &, if given credit, may grievous errors occur in the spellings of their names (i've resisted here)
On February 20, 1962, after three years of training, John Glenn rocketed into space aboard the Mercury capsule Friendship 7. He became the third American in space and the first to orbit Earth. The historical flight was no easy feat. At the end of his first orbit, a yaw attitude jet clogged, forcing Glenn to abandon the automatic control system and use the manual electrical fly-by-wire system.
In 4 hours and 56 minutes, John Glenn circled the globe three times, reaching speeds of more than 17,000 miles per hour. The successful mission concluded with a splashdown and recovery in the Atlantic Ocean, 800 miles southeast of Bermuda.

Critical Acclaim From the English Press
"Mr. Henry Reed is a rare poet, in more senses than one. He writes very little; that little is highly finished and exactly chosen . . . Where he will go to one can't tell, but all the hints seem to be here of larger work. Already Mr. Reed has a mastery of the blank-verse line as extended by Eliot. He is drawn to legend (his Philoctetes is as beautifully distinct as his Tristram). He slips the handcuffs of the present with the ease of a Houdini. Well then! — In the meantime, buy, borrow, read, read again this remarkable first volume." —New Statesman and Nation
"No better first book of poetry has appeared or many years and it would be foolish to expect another comparable for as long." —Time and Tide

Project Gemini was NASA’s second human spaceflight program, conducted between projects Mercury and Apollo. It started in 1961 and concluded in 1966. It was an enormous undertaking, involving awesome risks, and set the stage for the last and greatest adventure in the U.S. space program, Project Apollo. “Appointment in the Sky” is the story of the men and machines of Project Gemini as told by Sol Levine, the deputy technical director of the project. Published in 1963, in the midst of Project Gemini, Levine describes its origin and purpose, the special training of the pairs of astronauts who participated, and the minute-by-minute procedures of the flight, the rendezvous in orbit, the uncoupling and the re-entry. It is filled with detail about space flight. President Lyndon Johnson wrote the Foreword to the book.

Landmark Books were a series of history books published in the 1950's for children. I loved reading them as a kid, but got most of them from the library where the had dull covers without dustjackets. I've been picking some up at thrift shops. I really enjoy the cover art, and since I seem to barely be able to make a dent in my monthly upload limit, I'm sharing them with you.
I keep a separate notebook for each of the "compartments" of my job. I scribble on the covers of the little black moleskines, cover my Doanes, and display my Field Notes with pride!

A Map of Verona and Other Poems, by Henry Reed. New York: Reynal & Hitchcock, 1947.
A MAP OF VERONA AND OTHER POEMS
This volume introduces the work of a young Englishman of acute talent. Whether writing of the routine adjustments for war or the omnipresent significance of legendary events, Henry Reed encompasses a poignant sense of beauty with a lively yet profound manipulation of language.
The verse in the book is in five sections, entitled: "Preludes," The Desert," "Tintagel," "Triptych," and "Ishmael." The poems of "Tintagel" were provoked by a visit to the ruins of the castle in Cornwall. The three poems of "Triptych" are of three figures from Sophocles: Chysothemis, Antigone, and Philoctetes. "Ishmael" consists of five lyrics which were part of a radio version of Melville's Moby Dick, commissioned by the British Broadcasting Corporation and produced in London in January, 1947.

The six adventurers, led by Thor Heyerdahl, about to set adrift in the Pacific Ocean in 1947.
The Kon-Tiki Expedition by Thor Heyerdahl 1950.
A team of Norwegian adventurers, led by Thor Heyerdahl, set out to drift a raft made of forest materials, from Equador to Polynesia, to test Heyerdahl’s theory that the Polynesians originated in South America.
The Kon-Tiki almost made the original destination, however was wrecked on the Raroia Reef off Tahiti.

This is the very rare first translation (albeit an adaptation) of Krol Macius into English, by Edith and Sidney Sulkin. The illustrations are by Irena Lorentowicz (New York: Roy Publishers, 1945). The dustjacket is missing, but I include a digitally restored version in my next photo. When this book was published, there were rumors that Dr. Korczak had escaped the train that was taking him to the death camp of Treblinka; this rumor, printed on a special page in this book, turned out to be unfounded.
I guess it's basically my philosophy that
1.) any of us could, without notice, suddenly and unexpectedly become a crochety woman whose sometimes erotic science-fiction-cum-political-satire is required reading for freshmen Women's Studies majors, and
2.) it's best to be prepared for that eventuality by taking an appropriate "Author Profile" dust jacket photo in advance.
So here we go!
