Doerter, Jim Jim Doerter's All the Times (incorporating The East-West Chronicles)
Los Altos CA William Kaufmann, Inc. (c.1980, 1978) 0913232696 / 9780913232699 First Edition Wraps Very Good
[four newspapers, folded in quarters, each 18-22 pages, inside printed card-stock folder; the newspapers are yellowed but still in excellent condition]. (photos, drawings, etc.) This "Newspaper History of Humankind" (described in a publisher's note as the "Experimental Edition") is a "new and different set of newspapers designed to encourage and generate enthusiasm for the subject of history." The newspapers essentially cover world history from 3000 B.C. to the present, by presenting historical events in the style of modern journalism. "Each page covers an era of world events with irreverent, contemporary headlines, photographs, skillfully composed maps, scaled drawings, and a winning informal mix of textual humor and history. For readers accustomed to an emphasis on 'Western Civilization,' the cross-cultural mix in the papers is exciting and revealing. [The author], a gifted teacher at Southern Oregon State College, presents (side by side with Classical Meditteranean, Middle Eastern, and European history)synchronous developments in Asia, Africa and the Americas going back 5000 years. [The publication] features stories and sections on religion, drama, art, literature, science and politics. Interspersed are editorials, want ads, and advice columns for the lovelorn. [The author] reserves the sports page for news of wars and battles."
