It is a book with a very broad appeal, for its pages give a picture of the thoughts and fears common to everyone who has ever worn a uniform, no matter what role, heroic or otherwise, he may have played in war. Beach Red may be called a pre-view to action rather than a realistic record. It can best be interpreted as a study of all the things that run through a soldier's mind during days of training or on lonely nights in barracks or aboard a transport going East or West. And it reveals the seldom confessed truth--that everyone who goes to war lives through a thousand battles and dies a thousand deaths.Its style, which is split prose rather than verse, has the staccato flow of introspective thought."--essay ; Signature of John Ransom Lewis, the Poet Laureate of Georgia, on the front endpaper ; G.

I have not seen it for more than forty years, but the memory of it is fresh and sweet and sacred. If I were a poet, I would put its Bonaventure Cemetery into verse. It is itself a poem. There is nothing just like it elsewhere: the live-oak avenues, draped with the long sea moss, gently stirred by the soft breeze; a sky that bends in deepest blue above, with no sound to break the stillness save the faint note of a song bird in the minor key, or the whisper of a breeze like "the sighing of broken reeds" that symbolizes that of breaking hearts. Sidney Lanier might have sung the song of Bonaventure had he seen it as I have seen it. The elegance of the city and the heartiness of the country met you in the old Savannah in a way that gave you wonder and delight. " ; FAIR. Book.…

The murder of his brother during a pogrom that occurred in the spring of 1897 persuaded his family to leave Hungary. They immigrated to the United States in 1898, and settled in Chicago. Thorek earned money as a violinist while he attended the University of Chicago. Although he had no prior knowledge of the snare drum, he talked an administrator at the University of Chicago into granting him a full scholarship as a drummer for the University band. Thorek was thus able to enter Rush Medical College in the fall of 1900, which was then affiliated with the University of Chicago. He received his medical degree in 1904 from Rush College. Thorek worked in obstetrics, general, and reconstructive surgery. His innovative techniques and practices are still widely used in surgery today. He founded the International College of Surgeons in Geneva in 1935 and the International Museum of Surgical Science in a Chicago Gold Coast mansion in 1954. Thorek was also an internationally acclaimed amateur photographer during the pictorialist movement, and author of several books on the subject, including "Camera Art as a Means of Self-Expression (1947) and "Creative Camera Art" (1937). Thorek benefited the lives of his many patients, students, and colleagues. He not only taught doctors to be better surgeons, but his inquiries and experiments led to profound developments in many different areas of surgery, especially in internal medicine. Thorek was primarily known for his innovative operation for removing the gallbladder. His refinements to operations on the breast and abdomen improved plastic surgery, and his book Plastic Surgery of the Breast and Abdominal Walls helped make plastic surgery a respectable part of medicine." ; name on front ep and bookplate of John Ransom Lewis, MD, the one-time Poet Laureate of Georgia ; Contents : Anatomy, histology -- Embryology -- Histophysiology -- Historical, developmental and comparative considerations -- Physiology of the breast -- Folklore surrounding the female breast -- Racial characteristics -- Congenital anomalies of the breast -- Hypertrophies of the female breasts -- Etiology, symptoms, course and complications of breast hypertrophies -- Gynecomastia -- Indications and contraindications for reconstructive surgery of the female breast -- The technic of plastic operations for hypertrophy and penulosity of the female breast -- Scars and keloids -- Amastia, hypomastia and inequality of the breasts -- Diseases of the nipples -- Reconstructive surgery of the abdominal wall. ; textured red cloth with gold lettering ; no dustjacket ; foxing, edge wear ; numerous photographs of nudes from around the world, illustrations of surgical procedures, instruments, etc ;"This book provides the early history of breast reconstruction and the surgical methods of breast reconstruction " ; VG.
