Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Just Enough Warmth is a deeply personal collection of stories drawn from the remembered life of Helen Hansen-a woman raised during the Depression years on farms in Iowa and South Dakota, in a world shaped by drought, hard work, cold winters, and quiet endurance. Compiled and introduced by her son, Verle Hansen, these stories preserve not only family history, but an entire way of life that has nearly disappeared.Told in Helen's own reflective voice, the book recalls corn husk mattresses, horseback rides to school, threshing crews, quarantine signs on farmhouse doors, prairie dances, bitter winters, and the daily realities of living without electricity, running water, or certainty about what tomorrow might bring. Yet these are not stories of complaint or nostalgia. They are stories of resilience, humor, dignity, and the quiet strength found in ordinary people simply carrying on.What emerges is more than memoir. It is a portrait of rural American life during the Depression and Dust Bowl years-seen not through history books or statistics, but through the lived experiences of one family. Helen's memories reveal how communities survived through cooperation, sacrifice, and an understanding that comfort was not expected and hardship was not exceptional. The smallest moments-a warm cup of cocoa after a long walk home from school, a horse blanket wrapped tightly against the cold, a handmade quilt finally understood decades later-become lasting expressions of love and survival.Written with warmth, honesty, and remarkable clarity, Just Enough Warmth offers readers a rare glimpse into a generation that learned early to make do, work hard, and find grace in ordinary life. It is a book for anyone interested in family history, rural America, the Depression era, or the enduring stories that shape who we become. …

Wraps. Zustand: Very Good. First printing. First printing. [2], [1]-xx, [2], 244 pages. 7 7/8 inches by 10 1/4 inches. Paper wrappers. Marbled grey printed background with green border, lettering, and microscope illustration. The first printing of the second and best edition. 475 figures, mostly black and white photos of instruments. Minor rubbing, reading crease to rear cover, and minor wear to the extremities. Binding sound, a great working copy. Wraps. One of the standard references in the field. The microscope collection documented here is very diverse, having been started by Lieutenant John S. Billings, a medical officer of the US Army, and curator of the Army Medical Museum from 1883 to 1893 and extended through donations and acquisitions in the years since. It is very helpful for dating unknown microscopes by form, useful for collectors, dealers, and historians. This second edition contains an additional 32 pages of microscopes added to the collection since 1967. The many, many photographs, descriptions of each instrument (including dimensions) make this an essential reference for the collector, dealer, or historian.…
