Winston S. Churchill, The Official Biography, Companion Volume V, Part 3, The Coming of War 1936 - 1939 Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston 1983 - The Official Biography of Winston Churchill, initiated by Randolph Churchill but completed by Martin Gilbert, is an epic piece of scholarship about a singularly epic life, comprising eight mammoth main text volumes and - so far - seventeen accompanying document or "Companion" volumes. The eight main text volumes were published between 1966 and 1988. Publication of the Companion volumes continues today. This is it - the rarest, most keenly sought, and most difficult to acquire of the Official Biography Companion Volumes - Companion Volume V, Part 3. There was just a single printing in England, which included sheets for this U.S. Houghton Mifflin edition. Consequently, the British and U.S. editions look almost exactly alike. The sole difference in terms of shelf appearance from the British edition is the publisher's name at the base of the spine. Here is the first U.S. edition, near-fine in a fine dust jacket. The red cloth binding is excellent - clean and bright with virtually no wear, square corners, and bright spine gilt. The contents are crisp, clean, bright, and tight with no spotting and no inscriptions. The red-stained top edge of the text block shows no fading whatsoever. The only flaw is some neat pencil notation along the right edge of the ffep and a small triangle at the top right corner of the ffep has been clipped. The crisp dust jacket is unclipped and exceptionally clean. There are no tears, no losses, and virtually no wear. And the notoriously fade-prone title print on the spine is bright and unfaded. This is a premium copy. The dust jacket is protected in a removable, archival quality clear cover. Bibliographic reference: Zoller A302e3.

An Archive of 20th Century Sado-Masochism: Letters to The Black Knight (1975-1983) [Northampton, Massachusetts] 1983 - A remarkable collection of nearly 30 love letters (including five photographs) sent by a Baptist minister from Massachusetts to his elder lover: "The Black Knight." The letters document in graphic and loving detail illustrated their illicit Sado-Masochistic affair that began in the spring of 1975 and continued through to the spring of 1982. All but one has the original mailing envelope, near fine. Most of the letters are handwritten in the pastor's attractive calligraphic hand, including two elaborately illustrated by him. All are well-written, indicative of a highly educated man from an established Dutch-American family, and in nearly all of the letters he writes with unconstrained passion of his insatiable love, spiritual and physical, and of his desperate need to be sexually enslaved and brutalized by his "Almighty Regent . my Black Knight of infamous mystic stirrings." Included are two early albumen prints (family portraits), and three contemporary color photographs taken at the height of their affair, showing the pastor's Church, the pastor and the elderly Black Knight, and the Black Knight seated in his apartment. As it appears likely that the pastor was married at the time of the affair (he fathered children, and played an active leadership role in The American Baptist Churches of Massachusetts throughout his 35-year ministry), the names of both men have been withheld.

The order of the genes C, Sh and Wx in Zea Mays with reference to a cytologically known point in the chromosome. [Bound as issued with:] A correlation of cytological and genetical crossing-over in Zea Mays. First edition, the very rare offprint issue, of these landmark papers, bound back-to-back in a single offprint, which describe the "revolutionary" discovery of 'jumping genes'. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 1983 was awarded to McClintock "for her discovery of mobile genetic elements" (nobelprize.org). "Beyond any question, this is one of the truly great experiments of modern biology, and the conclusion-that pairing chromosomes heteromorphic for two or more regions exchange parts at the same time that they exchange genes assigned to these regions-will doubtless continue to stimulate as much research during the next as they have during the 25 years following its publication" (Gabriel & Fogel, pp. 267-8). No copy of this offprint listed in OCLC.<br/><br/> "Some of the most profound genetic discoveries have been made with the help of various model organisms that are favored by scientists for their widespread availability and ease of maintenance and proliferation. One such model is Zea mays (maize), particularly those plants that produce variably colored kernels. Because each kernel is an embryo produced from an individual fertilization, hundreds of offspring can be scored on a single ear, making maize an ideal organism for genetic analysis. Indeed, maize proved to be the perfect organism for the study of transposable elements (TEs), also known as "jumping genes," which were discovered during the middle part of the twentieth century by American scientist Barbara McClintock. McClintock's work was revolutionary in that it suggested that an organism's genome is not a stationary entity, but rather is subject to alteration and rearrangement-a concept that was met with criticism from the scientific community at the time. However, the role of transposons eventually became widely appreciated, and McClintock was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1983 in recognition of this and her many other contributions to the field of genetics. <br/><br/> "Barbara McClintock began her scientific career at Cornell University, where she pioneered the study of cytogenetics - a new field in the 1930s - using maize as a model organism. Indeed, the marriage of cytology and genetics, became official in 1931, when McClintock and graduate student Harriet Creighton provided the first experimental proof that genes were physically positioned on chromosomes by describing the crossing-over phenomenon and genetic recombination. Although Thomas Hunt Morgan was the first person to suggest the link between genetic traits and the exchange of genetic material by chromosomes, 20 years elapsed before his ideas were scientifically proven, largely due to limitations in cytological and experimental techniques. McClintock's own innovative cytogenetic techniques allowed her to confirm Morgan's ideas, and these techniques are numbered among her greatest contributions to science" (Pray & Zhaurova, p. 169). <br/><br/> The two papers were published back-to-back in the journal and, unusually, together in the same offprint. The paper by Creighton and McClintock refers twice to the "preceding paper" without a citation, assuming the reader will read the two together. Creighton's doctoral dissertation under McClintock's mentorship provided the basis for their landmark joint paper, which was unique in merging cytological with genetic data. The companion paper by McClintock set the essential stage with data on the cytological and genetic features that Creighton applied. <br/><br/> M. Gabriel & S.

1 p. ALS, IN ORIGINAL AIR MAIL ENVELOPE, TO DAVID GOTHARD, CO-FOUNDER OF THE RIVERSIDE STUDIOS, LONDON. 8 October 1983 - 1 pp. ALS, 200 x 150 mm, on stiff card, to the verso of which Hals' painting of Hamlet, cut from a magazine, has been affixed. Envelope dated 8 October 1983. Fine. In both form and content, a wonderfully elegant letter of refusal. Gothard had asked Joan Littlewood to come to the Riverside as a guest producer: 'J.L to D.G -- Sorry for delayed reaction to yr kindly letters -- situation here so unstable that I have only this day found peace to open the letters which have been waiting, in a menacing pile -- for months. I am flattered by yr invitation -- but as a guest producer I would be a disaster. It's not my game. I have no feeling of obligation towards T[heatre].R[oyal]. E.15. I couldn't bear the place, it was impossible when we moved in -- + couldn't be improved. Delighted with yr success and trust that health and harness will hold. And here is yr Franz Hals award. Joan.' East 15 drama school grew out of Littlewood's groundbreaking Theatre Workshop, now most often remembered for its premiere productions of Oh! What A Lovely War and Shelagh Delaney's A Taste of Honey, both later filmed. By the time this letter was written Littlewood had left England and was living in France with Baron Philippe de Rothschild (whose autobiography she ghosted). The letter is written in a riot of random capitals and lower cases, all in Littlewood's beautiful hand -- even the envelope's wording has been underlined in alternate red and blue double rules.
