Tiny creases to a few lower page corners, else Fine in a Fine slipcase. Reed's classic eyewitness account of the first ten days of the Bolshevik-led October Revolution in 1917. Reed joined the staff of the prominent Socialist magazine The Masses in 1913, the same year his first book was published, and married his wife, journalist Louise Bryant, in 1916. "On the Masses, Reed's modus operandi, as a reporter, was to get arrested, which he regularly did, while looking for trouble. Soon, weary of provoking the US authorities, he broadened his horizons to take in the ferment in the old world as well as the new. In 1917, appalled by Woodrow Wilson's declaration of war against Germany, the newlyweds set off for Europe, and wound up in St. Petersburg at the beginning of the revolution. Reed saw at once that this was his great opportunity. Where previously he had written and published poetry and flirted with the Mexican revolution, now his prose caught fire at the prospect of a worldwide socialist catharsis" (McCrum, Robert. "The 100 best nonfiction books: No.47 - Ten Days That Shook the World by John Reed (1919). The Guardian, 19 December, 2016). Upon his return to the United States, according to his editor Max Eastman, Reed shut himself away, and wrote his account of the revolution in ten days. A landmark of 20th-century journalism. 83626.

Durkheim formally established the academic discipline of sociology and is commonly cited as one of the principal architects of modern social science, along with both Karl Marx and Max Weber. Much of Durkheim's work was concerned with how societies can maintain their integrity and coherence in modernity, an era in which traditional social and religious ties are much less universal, and in which new social institutions have come into being. Durkheim's conception of the scientific study of society laid the groundwork for modern sociology, and he used such scientific tools as statistics, surveys, and historical observation in his analysis of suicides in Catholic and Protestant groups. Durkheim's first major sociological work was "De la division du travail social" (The Division of Labour in Society) (1893); followed in 1895 by "Les Règles de la méthode sociologique" (The Rules of Sociological Method). Also in 1895 Durkheim set up the first European department of sociology and became France's first professor of sociology. Durkheim's seminal monograph, "Le Suicide" (1897), a study of suicide rates in Catholic and Protestant populations, pioneered modern social research, serving to distinguish social science from psychology and political philosophy.' (Wiki) ***'How can difference in the rate of suicide be explained? It was always possible to explain the incidence of suicide--why one person rather than another committed it--but the problem of why one country has a higher rate of suicide per thousand of the population than another, why one social class or religious group has a higher rate than another, was never adequately explained before Durkheim wrote his book. It was perhaps his most important work, serving for successive generations as a model in social theory. Its influence on the social sciences has increased with years.'

Best condition, Sehr guter Zustand. -- Perhaps the most important legal treatise ever written in the English language, Sir William Blackstone's "Commentaries on the Laws of England" (1765-69) was the first effort to consolidate English common law into a unified and rational system. Clearly and elegantly written, the work achieved immediate renown and exerted a powerful influence on legal education both in England and America. This handsomely produced, slipcased four-volume set includes facsimiles of the eighteenth-century first edition, undistorted by later interpolations. The "Commentaries" is divided into four books. The first, introduced by Stanley N. Katz, deals with what Blackstone called "the rights of persons," what a modern lawyer would call constitutional law, the legal structure of government. Book II includes an introduction by A. W. Brian Simpson and describes the law of property. Book III, introduced by John H. Langbein, analyzes civil procedure and remedies. The last book, which is devoted to criminal law and procedure, includes an introduction by Thomas A. Green. Now regarded as a literary, as well as a legal classic, Blackstone's "Commentaries" brilliantly laid out the system of English law in the mid-eighteenth century, demonstrating that as a system of justice, it was comparable to Roman law and the civil law of the Continent. Ironically, the work also revealed to the colonists the insufficiencies of the system and became a model for the legal system of the fledgling American nation in 1789. Supplemented with commentary by experts in the field, these classic facsimile volumes belong on every lawyer's bookshelves.
