Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book includes a list of names to replace the numbers currently used by New York City's Elementary schools. In the early 20th century, the city decided to make this change as the numbers were seen by some to be impersonal, with no connection to the communities the schools served or… the contributions of important historical figures. The author provides a cross-referenced list of names for each school, taking into consideration location, the school's history or surrounding community, and makes an argument for retaining the names of living persons from consideration. The author also supplies a brief biography of each person whose name is suggested, providing a well-rounded overview of the rich contributions made by people from all walks of life in the history of New York City. The author's thoughtful suggestions and historical background will appeal to local historians, New Yorkers with an interest in their city's past and present, and anyone who appreciates the value of preserving diverse cultural heritage. 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.

Contact seller4-star seller[WORLD WAR II]. First edition. Original photograph album. Oblong 10 1/2" x 13 3/8" padded and string-tied faux leather with a color decoration of an inn and horse and carriage of the front cover. 133 total photographs, the album contains 59 original images (mostly 3 1/4" x 4 1/2," some 3" x 3," and one 8" x 10." Each photograph…is fitted into red-white-blue photograph corners on 10" x 12" black paper stock. The compiler refers to himself as "Jack" or "Jackie," and he is pictured with wife Madge and small son "Little Billy," and his father "Big Jack." He traveled to the WWII Pacific theatre on the "USS Canberra," the only US warship named for a foreign city. The "Canberra" entered service in 1943 and was later torpedoed in the Aerial Battle of Taiwan-Okinawa in 1944 and returned to the US for repairs. Jack was probably at Guadalcanal just after the Campaign ended (Feb. 3, 1943), when it became a major base for the Allies.
