Paperback. Condición: Fine. First Edition, First Printing. New York, ICP International Center of Photography / G?ttingen, Steidl, (2010).2 softcover volumes housed in thin paper slipcase. First Edition. Vol 1 with 192 pages. Vol 2 with 400 pages. With essays by David Balsells, Simon Dell, Kristen Lubben, Michel Lefebvre and Bernard Lebrun, Paul Preston, Brian Wallis, and Cynthia Young. Text in English. "In late December 2007, three small cardboard boxes arrived at the International Center of Photography from Mexico City after a long and mysterious journey. These tattered boxes the so-called Mexican Suitcase contained the legendary Spanish Civil War negatives of Robert Capa, Gerda Taro, and David Seymour (known as "Chim"). Rumors had circulated for years of the survival of the negatives, which had disappeared from Capa's Paris studio at the beginning of World War II. Together, these roles of film constitute an inestimable record of photographic innovation and war photography, but also of the great political struggle to determine the course of Spanish history and to turn back the expansion of global fascism. BOOK CONDITION: Fine (the set) in a Near Fine slipcase showing slight splitting at paper corners.

Young and Ramsay in partnership at University College, Bristol, published an exhaustive series of researches concerning the vapor pressures of liquids, thereby clarifying Kopp's quantitative laws held at all pressures. In 1885 Ramsay and Young derived an empirical equation that relates the ratio of absolute temperature of two liquids at a given vapor pressure. The significance is that this ratio is constant at all vapor pressures and that the ratio of the boiling points of two similar substances is the same, no matter what the external pressure. These papers "are of as much importance now as when first published, for they deal with fundamental properties determined with the highest degree of accuracy." - DNB (Young). William Ramsay is best known for his discovery and isolation of the family of inert gases of the atmosphere. For this experimental work, along with the theoretical work that situated these elements in the periodic system, Ramsay was awarded the 1904 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

A good well-written correspondence, painting a good picture of the day-to-day life of an English expatriate in the occupied city. Letters are signed 'Malcolm' and (once) 'Mac'. Young names himself in valedictions as Celia's brother. He does not sign with his surname, which can however be deduced from the combination of postscripts signed 'M H Y'; and Celia being named in the endorsement to one letter as 'C. G. Young'. He is is presumably 'Malcolm H. Young, agent', who features in the Tsingtao / Hong Kong List for 1941. Several references indicate a conventionally Christian religiosity, and some connection with a church for English expatriates in the city. Ten long letters. Three from 1937 (18 January, 28 November and 10 December); seven from 1938 (13, 20 and 27 February, 6 March, 7 April, 6 May and 13 November). A total of 30pp, 4to, neatly and closely written. A little aged and worn, but in good overall condition. Two of the letters are incomplete; that of 10 December 1937 only consists of the first page; that of 13 November 1938 lacks the fourth page of five. The correspondence contains a deal of personal matter, but the extracts that follow concentrate on the political situation on the ground. Letter One (18 January 1937) puts us straight in the action: 'I think I last wrote to you on Sunday before last, just before the Japanese came in. This took place on the Monday without incident or conflict of any kind - no one killed or injured & no shot fired. It was a tense time however all the forenoon, as it was not known what would happen. From early morning Airplanes were flying all over quite low & making an noise. It was alarming but they were only making quite sure that there were no soldiers here. They dropped a few bombs in the outskirts to frighten people - & where they thought there might be soldiers - but no harm was done. / It was a day of deliverance & thankfulness when in the afternoon they marched in quietly & took possession.' He refers to 'many unpleasantnesses' as 'a new City Govt: [is] inaugurated - this took place yesterday, just a week after the troops came in - we are glad to have the war cloud removed - that is we hope it will be - Shops have been kept close shut & the poor Chinese much frightened by their rough treatment & seizure of houses, goods & people. However they also gave employment to many coolies. Even the houses of Foreigners were not exempt from intrusion, but on the whole, as invading armies go, they have not been too bad.' This brings us to the end of the first of the thirty pages of text. He continues the first letter with more news of the state of affairs, including: 'We had a lot of the soldiers encamped just below here in empty summer bungalows, some of whom were a nuisance & our servants were alarmed; - they even intruded on ours and our neighbours premises, but did no harm: and on our complaining to the Consel, who took prompt action with the Japanese Military Head Quarters, were soon checked. This crowd has moved on elsewhere now, & I hope we shall have no more.' He reports that 'The Censors [.] are at work here in the P.O. making delay in delivery of mails'. In the second letter (November 28 1937) he reports: 'The Japanese are advancing in the N. of the province, but rather hesitantly, - I suppose negotiations are going on. They have huge commercial interests in Shantung - especially at Tringtao, which it is to their interest to preserve. The Chinese may be using these to bargain with the enemy at our gates. It is hard to know what is happening. Meanwhile Shai is suffering terrible aftermath of war with its hungry crowds of refugees, poorly clad & with sickness among them; & still the Japanese advance & Nanking is threatened is threatened.' He has every sympathy for 'the Chinese who have fought so bravely', but believes it is time to make peace, 'since they cannot hope to win in the unequal struggle. Japan's better trained & equipped armies carrying all before them. Locally the tension increases & the price of food & coal increases. The railway being, if not actually interrupted, so denuded of cars removed South by the Govt. that no coal trains can come from the mines.' On 13 February 1938 he reports on 'Work on clearing the port - blocked by departing Chinese troops with sunken ships & other obstructions - [.] while the demolition of buildings - destroyed by the Chinese - is progressing preparatory to re-building later. Whatever happens the Japanese are going to keep Tsingtao so the only thing is to make the best of things & as far as possible work with them - this for Chinese & Foreigners alike [.] I fear that the Chinese will be afraid to open up their shops much. The Japanese are opening & numbers of them returning by every steamer from Japan & Dairen. Commodities too are showing cheaper prices. Water is very short, but work is in hand for repairs & they say that after 10 days there will be improvement.' On 6 March 1938: 'As you surmise it is still far from plain sailing both for ourselves and the original inhabitants of these regions the Chinese. The power & authority of the new masters is everywhere felt, and we as well as the Chinese have to mind our Ps & Qs with them. The name and authority of the Occidental powers is not what it was - & they like to let us know it. [.] The Railway is not yet working fully & the harbour is still closed'. On 6 May 1938 he bemoans 'the present disturbed state of the country, which alas shows no signs of improvement. - But what would you? - if the incomers win, peace & order follow, but naturally the people of the land oppose them in all ways with resulting chaos & danger to all. It is very sad. & fighting with heavy losses on both sides continues. [.] all along the Railways, we are told villages on both sides have been burned down. Business of all kinds is very little, except among the Japanese, who appear to be very busy & are re-building their factories & doing other business - giving employment it is true.
