UNESCO was created "to contribute to peace and security by promoting collaboration among the nations through education, science, and culture." No one spoke with greater authority about the plan for UNESCO than Julian Huxley. As Executive Secretary of its Preparatory Commission and first Director General, he was a major influence the organization's original vision. This facsimile edition provides both the English and French editions of Huxley's visionary policy document, first published in 1946 during preparatory negotiations.

Facsimile of 1856 edition of official Guide published by the Crystal Palace Company. Detailed descriptions and many illustrations make this Guide a comprehensive overview, together with descriptions of the special courts and galleries. It also offers a walking tour around the park's thematic gardens. The Geological Illustrations and Extinct Animals are described, including the famous dinosaurs of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins. Maps include both palace and park. Complete. We chose to reprint the 1856 edition because the information accurately describes the park as visitors actually experienced it. Compared with the 1854 edition, the 1856 guide has more maps and floorplans, more drawings of exhibits, and far better descriptions of the gardens.

History

Richard Owen

Europe

In 1915, Kellogg was a pacifist and humanitarian working with relief organisations in war-torn Europe. By 1917, he wanted war with Germany, pursued to total victory. Headquarters Nights is the story of his conversion. The Prussians told Kellogg how Darwinism justified war and offered the ultimate test for the 'survival of the fittest'. Kellogg was shocked. This perverted Darwinism. It had to be resisted. Kellogg's conversion was no easy journey. This offers an intimate study of one man's transformation from an opponent of all wars into a firm advocate of one war. It will offer insight for modern thinkers about world events today.
