The material is divided into sections covering daily life, nutrition, poisoning and allergies, infectious diseases, diseases of the blood, heart and blood vessels, respiratory and digestive organs, urinary system, and skeleton; the text is accompanied by diagrams and captioned anatomical drawings. The language here is particularly interesting: the terms are presented in the distinctive Ukrainian tradition of the 1920s—“pistriak” instead of cancer, “zhilyaky,” “bitter jaw,” “hay fever”—because the author relied on microfilms of rare Ukrainian medical dictionaries from that decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMykhailo Danyliuk (1919–1981) was a doctor, underground fighter, and memoirist. Born in the Kremenets region, he was a lieutenant in the Red Army in 1940–1941, an organizer of insurgent units in the Kremenets region during the war, and the commandant of the district under the pseudonym Otaman Blakytnyi. He emigrated to the West, studied medicine in Munich, and from 1950 onward in the United States, where he had his diploma recognized in Minnesota, earned a specialization in surgery, and served as a doctor in the American Medical Corps. Two years earlier, his “Insurgent Notebook” (1968) was published in the same “Svoboda”—memoirs of the UPA in Volhynia; he died in Minneapolis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author published part of the material from 1967 onward as a weekly column, “On Medical Topics,” in the “Svoboda” newspaper, and wrote the rest specifically for the book. The Ukrainian National Association—the largest Ukrainian fraternal organization in America and owner of “Svoboda”—published the edition; that same year, 1970, the same publishing house also released Danyliuk’s separate “Short English-Ukrainian Medical Dictionary,” whose author’s preface is dated January 1970 and is present in this copy.

The following eight chapters guide the reader through the entire half-century history: the founding of the first units in 1921, the Plast Law, the oath and trials, the “Samitni Risi” senior Plastian unit, the organization of the Selo-Plast among peasant youth, the camps and the Forest School in Solochyna in 1938, international jamborees, regional congresses, sports, exhibitions, Plastian press (“Plastun,” “Molode Zhyttia,” “My prosto ydem!”, the Berehove “Karpaty,” “Na stiytsi,” “Skob”), poetry and songs, and finally, seventeen biographical sketches of leading figures, from Prof. Andriy Didyk and Prof. Ostap Vakhnyanyn to scoutmasters Yuriy Sheriey-Hroma, Mykhailo Bazhanskii-Kudiyar, and Oleksandr Blystvyi-Haydamaka.

For a Galician reader in 1933, the comparison was obvious. Following the introductory “Brief General Remarks,” there is a historical account of the union of three communities in the Ritli Valley in 1291, followed by sections on the democratic system, industry (watches, cheese, lace, machinery), and travel impressions: Lucerne, Interlaken, and the Jungfrau cog railway. A contemporary review stated that the book should be in every school library.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlena Kisilevska (1869–1956), née Symenovych, was a writer, journalist, and women’s rights activist. From 1912, she edited a women’s page in Dil, and in 1925–1939 published and edited the Kolomyia-based women’s journal Zhinoche Dolia. In 1928–1935, she served as a senator in the Polish parliament representing the Ukrainian National Democratic Alliance. She traveled through Europe, North Africa, Canada, and the United States; her books from these travels include Impressions from the Road (1910), Journey to Africa (1937), and Letters from Beyond the Black Sea (1939). From 1948, she headed the World Federation of Ukrainian Women’s Organizations; she died in Ottawa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book was published at the author’s own expense by the Vasylian Brothers Press in Zhovkva — the largest Ukrainian church press in Galicia. The copyright line is in Latin script: “Copyright 1933 by O. Kisilevska, Kolomea,” which was unusual for a Galician publication and indicates that it was intended for American and Canadian audiences. The dust jacket was designed by Vasyl Dyadynyuk (1900–1944), a soldier in the Ukrainian People’s Army, later a student at Oleks Novakovskyi’s art school, a monumental artist and graphic artist, and creator of the portrait series The Rulers of Ukraine. He died in Vienna; in 1952, about ten of his works were destroyed at the National Museum in Lviv, so Dyadynyuk’s book illustrations are rare.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ARCHIVEVAM RARE BOOKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64601947046259,"sku":"SKU-00714","price":13500.0,"currency_code":"UAH","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/7885\/2723\/files\/pr-15531883331955.jpg?v=1793985205"},{"product_id":"matviichuk-mykola-tretia-knyzhechka-lviv-1931","title":"Matviychuk Mykola.

Forty color plates were intended to fill this gap — from arnica, chamomile, and opium on the first plate to coconut, date palm, and turmeric, from lavender and bulrush to cyclamen and primroses. The designations “Lek.” — medicinal plant and “Yad.” — poisonous are used with the names. The introduction presents the system of the plant world in two columns, Russian and Latin, and at the end contains an alphabetical index with references to the plate number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most interesting thing about the book is how the compiler speaks about names. Eng. Anton Sedláček, agricultural advisor, writes that there are many Russian names for plants, but in different regions the same plant is called by a different name; he took some of the names from the terminology compiled by Ivan Verchratsky and approved by the Ministry of Education in Prague, for lesser-known plants — from the work of Melnyk, while some he had to give artificial names. The publishing house admitted that errors were not ruled out in the book and asked that comments be sent together with the terminology used in the villages to the Pedagogical Society in Uzhhorod so that the terminology commission could review them. Thus, the atlas itself records the moment when Ukrainian botanical terminology in Subcarpathian Rus’ was still being compiled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Pchôlka” — an illustrated children’s monthly that came out in Uzhhorod from 1923 (the first year as a supplement to “Podkarpatske Pcholyarstvo”) with the circulation of the “Prosvita” society under the editorship of Pavlo Kukuruz; alongside the magazine came the book series “The Library of New Pchôlka,” which numbered 86 titles, and this atlas belongs to it.

In the preface, the author explains that the maps are presented in the most general terms — to highlight the main points rather than show details of borders, and that the aim of the booklet is to introduce the general reader to one of Europe's most important political problems: the political future of the Ukrainian people.
