Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. Reprinted with revisions from the 1979 first edition. 74 pp.Performance and position in 1985 Strong profitability: An April 1985 New York Times article reported that J.P. Morgan & Co. was outperforming its rivals. It was the most profitable of the nation's 15 largest bank holding companies for two consecutive quarters. Focus on commercial and investment banking: In June 1985, an executive told the New York Times that the bank was "adapting to a changing environment" and aimed to be a strong commercial and investment bank. This emphasis on non-consumer banking was a key factor in its high profitability. Embracing deregulation: The 1980s was a period of intense banking deregulation. J.P. Morgan & Co. was a vocal proponent of overturning the Glass-Steagall Act, which separated commercial and investment banking. The bank was beginning to test the limits of these regulations by expanding its securities and underwriting activities. Leadership change: In June 1985, Morgan Guaranty Trust announced it was shifting two key executives, though no reason was given. The changes included the promotion of David Band to head of funding services.

NOT present] ; The 1968 second edition of Biological Science: An Inquiry Into Life (BSCS Yellow Version), edited by John A. Moore and published by Harcourt, Brace & World, was a seminal high school textbook emphasizing inquiry-based learning, molecular biology, and evolution. It aimed to move beyond rote memorization, focusing on scientific investigation rather than just facts. Key details regarding this 1968 edition include: Focus on Inquiry: The text and accompanying laboratory guide emphasized investigation, challenging students to analyze data and formulate hypotheses rather than just observing. Content and Structure: It was designed for 10th or 11th-grade students, heavily incorporating modern biological findings from the 1950s and 60s, including molecular biology and genetics. Reception: While lauded for promoting scientific thinking, some contemporary reviews suggested that despite the title, the text still contained a "good deal of telling" rather than pure inquiry, and it was quite rigorous. Impact: This BSCS text was considered a landmark in reforming biology education in the United States, moving away from descriptive biology toward a process-oriented approach. The book was frequently revised and reapproved for use in classrooms throughout the late 1960s and 1970s. ; 5 Excellent presentation of evolution, integrating synthetic theory. "Marred by progressionist ideology and claims of link to cultural evolution." ; BSCS "Yellow Version" aka Biological Science: An Inquiry Into Life ; FINE. Book.
