William Tully (1785-1859), became a medical practitioner in Connecticut; president and professor at the Vermont Academy of Medicine; faculty of medicine at Yale. The forward by John F. Fulton explains that Tully is an inadvertent Boswell to Nathan Smith (1762-1829), the founder of Dartmouth Medical School, and the co-founder of Yale's School of Medicine. Tully studied with Smith for the period of his journal, and his observations regarding Smith, as well as life in 1808 America, make for wonderful reading.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Illustrated by William Gropper (illustrator). First Edition. (no dust jacket) [modest wear to extremities, tiny tears and very slight fraying at spine ends, vintage bookplate on front pastedown, remnant of removed sticker on front endpaper]. (pen & ink drawings, illustrated endpapers) Episodic narrative of a hobo who gets tossed into a small-town jail which happens to be populated with an amazingly diverse gallery of crooks and lowlifes, individual chapter-portraits of whom comprise the bulk of the book. Tully, referred to by the New York Times as the (self-appointed) "high priest of the present-day cult of the underworld," was by 1930 firmly ensconced in Hollywood as a journalist and sometime screenwiter, but would continue to reach back to his vagabond early-life experiences for story material for many years thereafter.

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This book explores the universal virtues of humility and wisdom, as well as the interdependence of those two qualities. The author then traces how western society gradually moved away from treating them as virtues and began to relegate them to the status of vices because they allegedly reflected weakness and relics of religion.Many of modern society's most serious problems have at their root, the decline of humility and wisdom. Modern culture glorifies egotism, arrogance and even narcissism. Virtual perception now replaces reality and balanced perspectives.A return to humility and wisdom holds society's best hope for survival. By pursuing humble wisdom, mankind can return to its national pursuit of altruism, and society can return to a more civilized and kinder reality. Instead of overindulging ourselves, we can rededicate ourselves to the service of others.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The study seeks to gain a Combat Air Force (CAF) wide solution to reduce AWACS PERSTEMPO to a level commensurate with the AEF construct. The literature review will focus on the Air Expeditionary Force concept. Initially, we will explore the AEF Program Action Directive (PAD) to discern Low Density/High Demand capabilities as forwarded by the service. We will then investigate the Joint tasking process and seek a congruent tasking level between the service AEF goal of 90 days in 15 months and the Blackhawk shoot down mandate of 120 days. We will then take a historic view of E-3 PERSTEMPO rates in the 1990s and the success or failure of the joint tasking process to meet the 120 day goal.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Go to any bookstore and one will find a plethora of books dealing with the subject of leadership. Their methodology is strikingly similar--take a significant historical event, be it in business, sports, religion, or military endeavors, find the person most responsible for the favorable outcome and retroactively derive the individual's guiding principles. The vast majority tell compelling stories of past heroic acts while attempting to formulate strategies, lessons, laws, tenets, secrets, rules and tools, or principles of leadership. However, very few, if any, works pull together the leadership lessons learned and provide a framework that 1) can be used as an educational tool to a military, sports, business, governmental, or religious audience; 2) provides focus to a strategic end in an ever changing environment; and 3) delineates between the art and science of leadership, to include the importance of the questions what and how the art and science are to be executed. This paper attempts to provide a prescriptive framework which is malleable to the vast majority of these works, and augments AFDD 1-1, Leadership and Force Development, AU-2, Guidelines for Command, and AU-24, Concepts for Air Force Leadership. The paper will examine both the art and science of leadership and provide a framework to enable leaders in any field of endeavor to improve their leadership skills.

"Despite its cheery-sounding title, Circus Parade is light years away from Toby Tylerland, presenting a dark, violent and thoroughly unromanticized portrait of life on the road with a traveling show -- described by Tully as "generally a canvas nest of petty thieves and criminals among the lower gentry." The book's depictions of casual brutality -- including a shocking account of the troupe's exploitation of a young black girl's sexual favors -- got it banned in Boston and caused an uproar with circus fans (and, unsurprisingly, circus owners), which helped to put the kibosh on a proposed film adaptation by James Cruze" (PROUTY 4).

Boston Med. Surg. J., 48/ 8. - Boston, David Clapp, Wednesday, March 23, 1853, 8°, pp.149-168, fine wrappers. First Edition! "Communicated for the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal." "We are very sorry to notice, in some of our medical journals, severe and uncalled-for strictures upon the work of Dr. Tully on the Materia Medica and Therapeutics, now being issued from the press in monthly parts. We are sorry for two reasons. One is, that such strictures, unjust in themselves, may have the effect to lessen, if not entirely to take away, the patronage of the work, and so discourage those generous individuals who have taken upon themselves the responsibility of its publication. The other reason is, that the editors of these journals will regret, in the end, if the publication should go on to completion, their too hasty remarks, and be as sorry as we are that they were ever made. If these editors will let Dr. Tully get fairly into his subject before they " let fly their pop-guns," we assure them that they will have no cause to regret following the laisscz faire plan. In the mean time, however, should they continue to send forth their extemporaneous thoughts in the same strain, they may, so far as their journals have influence, do great disservice to the cause of medical science, in the department of the materia medica and therapeutics; especially if such remarks should discourage the patrons of the work-for it cannot go on without patronage. We wilt venture to add here, for we profess to have some knowledge of what Dr. Tully can do, that if the work should be completed, it will be unsurpassed in fullness and accuracy and in practical utility, by any other work, of the same sort, in the English language. We say this without intending to undervalue other works of the kind that have been already published." William Tully (1785-1859), medical practitioner in Connecticut; president and professor at the Vermont Academy of Medicine; faculty of medicine at Yale.
