hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check).

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The year in which this first number of 'Annals of Life Insurance Medicine' goes to press happens to be the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Swiss Reinsurance Com pany's activity in the field of underwriting and reassuring those risks which later became known as 'substandard lives'. In retrospect, it is a far cry from the old days when life assurance proposals were either accepted or rejected on medical grounds to the modern principles and methods of rating substandard cases both medically and actuarially. It can be assumed that in the course of the last few decades solutions, or at least approxi mate solutions sufficiently accurate for practical purposes, have been found to most of the numerous and often rather tricky actuarial problems relating to substandard policies, adequate premiums and reserves. No Life Assurer to-day however can fail to recognize that actuarial skill may only be applied to of medical assessment. Even the lay under substandard life risks on the basis writer certainly realizes that the medical and statistical problems inherent in the underwriting of substandard risks are infinitely more complex than any actuarial consequences of a calculated or assumed extramortality. It is primarily this basic fact which has stimulated the Swiss Reinsurance Company's plans to intensify and develop its research work in the field of the medical assessment of substandard lives.…

First, Limited Edition. No. 876 of 999 hand-numbered copies. Author's inscription to front endpaper: "To Mr. Alfred Wiehl with compliments," signed, undated but apparently contemporary with publication. Octavo. Green cloth, titled in gilt; 231pp; frontispiece and three unnumbered leaves of plates. A tight, Near Fine copy, with just a trace of rubbing to the binding at corners and spine ends. Collection of short stories and philosophical vignettes by this somewhat enigmatic figure - a Russian emigré and revolutionary, a friend of Maxim Gorki and a disciple of Tolstoi, Narodny was forced into exile following his involvement in the Kronstadt Rebellion. He arrived in New York in 1906, in the company of Gorki; he involved himself in commercial ventures (at one point being denounced by the Russian Government for presenting himself as the head of the "Russian Chamber of Commerce"); subsequently, he was reputedly involved in the sale of American arms to the Bolsheviks. After the 1917 Revolution, Narodny attempted to establish himself in legitimate international trade under the rubric "The Russian-American Asiatic Corporation," though we can find no evidence the venture succeeded. The inscribee is possibly the New York restaurateur Alfred Wiehl (1847-1932), proprietor of a popular turn-of-the century lower-Manhattan eatery. Uncommon. SMITH (American Fiction) N-5. Signed.…
