Ground Zero Books, Ltd acquired this item directly from Dr. Holland. Eckart Kehr (21 June 1902 in Brandenburg, Germany – 29 May 1933 in Washington, DC) was a German historian who was one of the first historians to emphasize the importance of social structure and economic interests in influencing political decisions. His most important work is his 1930 doctoral thesis (published 1931) Schlachtflottenbau und Parteipolitik 1894-1901 ("Battle Fleet Construction and Party Politics in Germany, 1894-1901: A Cross-Section of the Political, Social and Ideological Preconditions of German Imperialism"), which describes the domestic economic sources of Germany's naval policy during the years 1894 to 1901, reversing the cherished doctrine of the primacy of foreign policy in the life of the German state. The monograph gained slow acceptance, and his arrogant tone and historical mistakes held it back for decades, until West German historian Hans-Ulrich Wehler et al. revived it to create the Bielefeld School of social history in the 1960s-1970s. It is now considered a classic in the history of the Germany of Kaiser Wilhelm II. He died in 1933 of a heart attack after he had published 16 more essays. More

While at the Seattle Times, he won the paper's first Pulitzer Prize for National Reporting in 1950. Guthman was third on Richard Nixon's "Enemies List." He was a reporter for the Seattle Star, and The Seattle Times. His articles provided evidence that the Washington State Un-American Activities Committee suppressed evidence that cleared University of Washington professor Melvin Rader of false charges of being a Communist. In 1961, he was tapped by Attorney General Robert Kennedy to be his press secretary. He later served Kennedy in a similar position for one year when Robert Kennedy became U.S. Senator from New York in 1965. As a result of his work with Kennedy, he was third on Nixon's Enemies List. He was the national editor for the Los Angeles Times from 1965 to 1977 and then the editorial page editor for The Philadelphia Inquirer (1977–1987). He was a senior lecturer at the USC Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California, where he had been a professor since 1987. He retired in 2007. Rick Allen is a media and technology executive and has been a speechwriter, fundraiser, and state campaign manager for several presidential and Senate candidates.

Garden City, New York: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1917. Presumed First U. S. Edition thus. Hardcover. [6], 222, [2] pages. Cover stained and soiled at bottom. Includes three stories by Rudyard Kipling: The Fringes of the Fleet; Tale of "The Trade"; and Destroyers at Jutland. Inside the front cover is the bookplate of John Lyman! This is believed to be the John Lyman whose achievement in maritime history is particularly notable because, like most of his colleagues, Lyman worked regular jobs in the Navy and later in academia. He also obtained his advanced degrees in Oceanography (M.S., 1951; Ph.D., 1958) from Scripps while pursuing his avocation. Even working full-time and producing Log Chips, he was able to publish a dozen or more articles a year, a pace that increased after his retirement. Lyman also continued to publish work in oceanographic and linguistic journals and to consult and serve on the boards of various maritime societies and preservation projects. He continued to pursue his interests and build collections in maritime history and technology, linguistics, sea chanteys, the history and lore of flags, and the genealogy of the Lyman family. While Dr. Lyman usually described these activities as merely a way of filling his free time, Karl Kortum summarized the value of his work when he observed, "We have been benefiting from a scientist's mind -- educated, reaching, retentive, analytical -- and we've been lucky that sailing ship history is the 'sideline' it chose." He was a founding trustee and later advisor to the National Maritime Society, and an organizer and council member of the North American Society for Oceanic History, which annually offers the John R. Lyman Book Award in his memory. More
