Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a captivating exploration of the unique challenges and opportunities faced by those living in the bustling metropolis of Manhattan Island at the turn of the 20th century. The author, a keen observer of human nature and societal trends, delves into the concept of "Newyorkitis," a condition characterized by the strain of adapting to the city's fast-paced and demanding environment. Drawing upon 25 years of experience living and working amongst the diverse population of New York, the author examines the impact of urban life on individuals' mental, moral, and physical well-being. The book sheds light on the allure of the city that draws people from all walks of life, seeking wealth, success, or simply a chance to escape the confines of their previous existence. Readers will gain insights into the complexities of navigating the social landscape of New York, where perceptions of status and success are often distorted by materialism and the pursuit of wealth. The author challenges conventional notions of achievement and encourages a more holistic approach to life that prioritizes intellectual growth, genuine human connection, and a sense of purpose beyond material possessions. By offering a thought-provoking analysis of the human condition within the context of a rapidly evolving urban environment, this book serves as a timeless reminder that true fulfillment lies not in external validation, but in cultivating the qualities that elevate us above the pursuit of mere material gain. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Pamphlet. Condición: Good. 4 pages. 9 x 12 inches. An extract from the New York Medical Journal of April 9th, 1887, this brochure is in effect an advertisement for Dr. Girdner's Telephonic Bullet Probe in conjunction with the Hazard, Hazard & Co. manufacturers, the only place "a reliable instrument can be had at present" according to the brochure. Old folds from mailing. Tears at the folds and chipping not affecting the text in the margins. Stabilized with archival tape at several folds. Nicely illustrated with cuts from Hazard, Hazard & Co. Pamphlet. In July 1881 President Garfield was shot in the back by Charles Guiteau. The bullet proved hard to locate given the investigatory procedures of the day. Alexander Graham Bell tried to make a new tool using balanced induction coils to determine where the bullet was located. The tool failed because the bullet was too far removed from the surface (this was discovered after the fact). Bell returned home, and experimented frantically, trying to find another solution, and invented a "Telephonic Bullet Probe" which could be used for such applications, but Garfield had died in the interim. He later showed physicians this new tool, and Dr. Girdner was present at those experiments. Some years later, Girdner started using the tool in his own practice, and advertising it. The present offering is an example of that advertising derived from a "report" in the New York Medical Journal of it's history and current application. While in this brochure he gives proper credit to Alexander Graham Bell it turns out that this didn't remain the case for long. He eventually claimed the invention as his own, something Bell was apparently aware of but didn't protest. (See Bell: Alexander Graham Bell and the Conquest of Solitude by Robert V. Bruce for an in depth historical review of the events). Scarce, with a place holder but no institutional holdings attached in Worldcat/OCLC.…
