Slowly, over more than a century & a quarter, the history of Permian terrestrial vertebrates has been pieced together by discovery & study of fossil-bearing strata in all of the continents except Australia & Antarctica. The decade of the 1950s has been exciting from the standpoint of new discoveries both in North America & abroad. New finds have gone far toward bridging the gaps between the lower & upper Permian & have presented new & quite revolutionary data on the distribution of Permian terrestrial faunas. Contents of this study: Introduction; Systematics; Geology; Interpretations; & Evolution. Illustrations. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find publication.

This study aims to trace the origin and evolution of the idea of prolongevity: the belief that it is possible and desirable to extend significantly the length of life by human action. Primary attention is given to developments before the end of the 18th century. There are, however, numerous references to modern times. The author has tried to integrate the history of ideas and the history of science, for a concept like prolongevity reflects almost equally the influence of philosophy, religion, science, and medicine. He has also attempted to apply some of the methods of world history. Contents: Introduction: The Problem of Death, and the Idea of Prolongeviry; Apologism; Prolongevity Legends; Taoist Prolongevitism in Theory and in Practice; The Alchemists; The Hygienists; The Philosophes; Epilogue; Bibiliography.

This is a print on demand pub. Raymond D'Aguilers, chaplain of Count Raymond IV of Toulouse, wrote an eyewitness account of the crusades entitled "Historia Francorum qui ceperunt Iherusalem." His 12th-cent. history has influenced later historians in their accounts of the First Crusade and has led to many misinterpretations. This translation offers a clearer understanding of the crusades; it catches the spirit of the chaplain and reveals the suffering and misgivings of the clerics who journeyed to Jerusalem. Explains the author's use of visions and Biblical material and his resort to ecclesiastical fiction. "Offers a vivid account of the crusaders' journey to Jerusalem and the capture of the Holy Sepulchre in 1099." Maps. (reprint ed.)
