This includes reprints (or possibly overprints) of four articles that all seem to be from National Geographic Magazine, Volume LXXXV, No. 3, March, 1944: The Greek Way by Edith Hamilton pages 257-272, with 11 illustrations {this article contains excerpts from the author's book, The Greek Way]; Greece, The Birthplace of Science and Free Speech by Richard Stillwell, pages 273-289, with 13 illustrations and a map, [subtitled: Explorations on the Mainland and in Crete and the Aegean Isles Reveal Ancient Life Similar to That of the Present]; The Glory that was Greece by H. M. Herget (32 paintings with text), pages 290-354 pages; and The Isles of Greece by Richard Stillwell with 12 Illustrations in Black and White, Map, and 16 Illustrations in Color, pages 593-622. Edith Hamilton (August 12, 1867 - May 31, 1963) was an American educator and author who was "recognized as the greatest woman Classicist." She was 62 years old when The Greek Way, her first book, was published in 1930. It was instantly successful, and is the earliest expression of her belief in "the calm lucidity of the Greek mind" and "that the great thinkers of Athens were unsurpassed in their mastery of truth and enlightenment." In 1957, when the Book-of-the-Month Club selected The Greek Way (1930) as a featured book, it enhanced her efforts at directing the American mind towards Ancient Greece, despite it having been published twenty-seven years earlier. Moreover, by then, she already had published other books, among them The Roman Way (1932), Mythology (1942), and The Echo of Greece (1957); to date, at the high school and university levels, Mythology remains the premier introductory text about its subject. The New York Times has described her as the Classical Scholar who "brought into clear and brilliant focus the Golden Age of Greek life and thought ... with Homeric power and simplicity in her style of writing".Richard Stillwell was a Lieutenant in the United States Naval Reserve when this article was published. He was formerly Director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.Herbert M. Herget was an archaeological painter for National Geographic magazine. He did not live to see his last major project published in the magazine in 1951. The subject of Herget's illustrations in that posthumous issue was "ancient Mesopotamia, a light that did not fail." Following is a quotation from the 1951 magazine describing the artist: "In the paintings by H.M. Herget, the facts about a complex civilization that lasted several thousand years were compressed and arranged in chronological sequences from remote to prehistoric times down to the middle of the first millennium B.C., National Geographic Society, 1944, 3, China Light Industry Press. paperback.

First edition of Caldecott winner Chris Raschka's celebration of saxophonist John Coltrane, in which the elements of Coltrane's "Giant Steps" are performed by a box, a snowflake, some raindrops, and a kitten: "swirling, leaping, tumbling 'sheets of sound.' That's what he called it. But why tell you when we can show you?" Raschka would go on to win the Caldecott Medal in 2006, for Hello, Goodbye Window, and in 2012, for A Ball for Daisy.

Philately and postal history of Ethiopia of the period 1895-1936 are well documented; however, until now, no comprehensive documentation was available for the period 1936, end of the Italo-Ethiopian war, to 1974, year of deposition of Emperor Hailé Selassié I. This book now fills the gap. Throughout the book chapters devoted to the historical backgrounds summarize the facts of the different periods and in some cases indicate the reasons for some issues. The period 1936-1974, from the end of the Italo-Ethiopian war to the deposition of Emperor Hailé Selassié I, a rather elusive period for the Ethiopian postal history, has been studied. One chapter devoted to the post offices during the Italian occupation reports all the towns and villages that had a post office and the number of different types of cancellors used. Another chapter deals in detail with the postal arrangements of the period January 1941 - 31 January 1942 during the liberation of Italian East Africa (A.O.I.) The types and numbers of Military post cancellors used in Ethiopia during the liberation war are reported together with their period of use in the country. All the sets issued after the restoration are described in detail giving information not reported in the stamp catalogues. New information is included, therefore: the reasons for the issues, the number of sets printed, the reported and some unreported varieties both of colour and of overprinting and much more information not generally available to collectors. Many unreported facts deriving from unpublished studies by the author are also included in this new book. The appendices are an important addition to the book and include a list of the Ethiopian post offices in the period 1942-1974 and a list of the known cancellors with the reproduction of most of them. The most interesting and new appendix concerns the postal rates of the period 1942 to 1974 which until now were a mystery. The author obtained from U.P.U. the official documentation for surface and airmail rates that were not even available in Ethiopia, thus enlarging the knowledge and the scope of the Ethiopian postal history. This aspect of postal history is completed by the study of the airlines operations from 1940 through the restarting of the Ethiopian Airlines in 1947 and to 1974. Other appendices include a list of postal stationery, postal cards and registration labels. An elusive topic is the postal rates of the Italian East Africa, a very difficult sector with some information that shows its difficulty. Other appendices covering other aspects of postal history are also included. A table of equivalence between catalogues will help collectors of different countries to recognise the sets and stamps that are hidden in the numbering of other catalogues.
