JEWS AT A GLANCE
Mac Davis
1956 02872608 Hard Cover. Very Good book jacket. . First Printing. Out of Print. 8 x 10' . From the preface by the author: "Any book of stories about the lives of the greatest Jews, the most famous, the most amazing, the most important or the most extraordinary, is bound to be provocative and controversial. To write such a book takes a lot of research, a lot of work - and a lot of nerve! However, I have essayed this delicate but fascinating task and here is the why of it. Several years I wrote my first book of biographies and it was well received. In that book sixty Jews were presented from Moses to Einstein - Jews who left their mark on civilization. When my published urged me to do another book, he said to build a larger gallery of Jewish greatness and achievement. Hence THIS book of biographies. Now, there are 114 Jews to meet; people chosen from many places, from many fields of human endeavor, and from many periods of civilization. All in this book are marked by the same two characteristics; all began as Jews, and all MADE THINGS HAPPEN! Intended for readers of all ages who have a lively curiosity about the lives and achievements of unusual Jews . " The captivating black & white drawings are incredibly life-like and are true works of art that all readers will enjoy looking at. It's wonderful to put the face to the story of their lives. No book jacket, clean & tight pages; slight yellowing due to age. A wonderful, wonderful read!! New York: Hebrew Publishing Co, 1956
