Précieux exemplaire ENRICHI d'une lettre manuscrite de l'auteur datée du 20 octobre 1920, avec l'enveloppe originale, adressée au comte René Philipon (1870-1936), châtelain de Vertcoeur à Milon-la-Chapelle, ancien propriétaire de ce volume et y ayant placé son ex-libris à la licorne signé "J. de Andrada 1917". La lettre et son enveloppe sont reliées avec les premières pages. "Depuis qu'il est à la mode de posséder un Nattier, comme il l'était autrefois d'avoir un Téniers ou un Raphaël, les Nattier se sont multipliés et courent le monde. Le moindre vente de tableaux présente au catalogue ce nom devenu fameux... On ne lutte par contre le plaisir qu'il nous donne, on ne se défend point contre les séductions de ce pinceau adroit et nonchalant, qui connaît toutes les ruses d'un métier charmant et quelques-unes des ressources de la grande maîtrise... [T]outes les fois que Nattier a travaillé consciencieusement et suivant son génie propre, il a réalisé des portraits qui nous font pleinement partager la joie qu'il eut à les peindre." (Préface, pp. i-iii)

2002R145France: La Table Ronde 2002 Il y a douze ans le livre très remarqué du philosophe américain Francis Fukuyama annonçait La Fin de l'histoire tant l'avancée des sciences nous laissait perplexe quant à la possibilité d'un avenir maîtrisé sous quelque forme que ce soit. C'est la même inquiétude et la même interrogation qui est au centre de La Fin de l'homme une réflexion sur les conséquences de la révolution bioéthique. Sans être un vulgarisateur pédagogique ou un philosophe qui "s'occuperait" de science Fukuyama pose la question des rapports actuels entre la science et les techniques. À partir d'un point très clair donné sur les recherches actuelles dans les domaines des opérations transgéniques du génie génétique de l'énergie nucléaire des potentialités informatiques soit un état des lieux savant de notre monde contemporain Fukuyama établit le postulat suivant : la science en l'état actuel ne peut plus s'autoréguler. Convaincu qu'il faut rapidement et internationalement légiférer en matière de science Fukuyama appelle de ses voeux des décisions politiques sages qui enrayeraient un emballement économique.

Signed and briefly inscribed by author upon first blank leaf. xiv, 203 pages. Index. "From the vantage point of a European observer who has experienced the pathology of liberalism and communism on both sides of the Iron Curtain, Dr. Sunic offers incisive insights into Western and post-communist societies and culture. Always erudite and at times humorous, this highly readable postmortem report on the death of the West offers a refreshing, alternative perspective to what is usually found in the cadaverous Freudo-Marxian scholasticism that rots in the dank catacombs of postmodern academia." - back cover.

Gilpin an educator and writer on art "travelled widely in Britain with his notebook and sketching materials in order to identify locations which offered that particular kind of beauty in landscape 'which is agreeable in a picture'. Picturesque tourism constituted 'a new object of pursuit' as he wrote in the first of these books Observations on the River Wye 1782: the practice recommended was 'that of not merely describing; but of adapting the description of natural scenery to the principles of artificial landscape'. Further picturesque books with aquatint reproductions of Gilpin's pen-and-wash drawings included Observations on Cumberland and Westmorland 1786 the Scottish highlands 1789 south-west England and the Isle of Wight 1798 and the eastern counties of England and north Wales 1809" ODNB.

2008352975San Francisco California: Chonicle Books 2008. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Folio - over 12 - 15" tall. David Maisel. This is a lot of two 2 items the second being a Very Good condition copy housed in a Mylar sleeve of The West Shore magazine for January of 1889 and that features duotone illustrations of both "Salem Oregon - Asylum of the Insane" and "Oregon - State Penitentiary Salem" and suffuse with articles and news about Oregon and especially the Willamette Valley and the Oregon Coast. Simple brown printed wraps chipping at spine bottom stapled prior dealer's For Salem card inside front flap. News about the genealogy of the State of Oregon and of Oakland Newberg Baker Salem McMinnville and other Oregon towns and villages. Library of Dust is one of "those" books that will dent your psyche in a good way. "Dust is a peculiar substance. Less a material in its own right with its own characteristics or color dust is a condition . . . Dust is a potpourri of ingredients varied to the point of indefinability. Dust includes 'dead insect parts flakes of human skin shreds of fabric and other unpleasing materials'" Geoff Manaugh quoting Joseph Amato. Library of Dust is a somber sobering fascinating photographic right-thinking rumination in humane terms on a non-human perhaps even inhumane collection: the decomposing copper canisters that carried the cremated remains of the former Oregon State Hospital inmates that had gone unclaimed. Library of Dust is comprised of four stellar essays and arresting full color full page photographs of the copper-coated tins oceanic of appearance encrusted in unique patinas of color and texture that somehow invoke perhaps the former human beings captured inside them. Bound handsomely in illustrated black pictorial boards in folio hardcover format measuring 17 1/2" x 13 1/4" in height and width respectively. Note: what appear to be scuffings of and rubbings to tips and extremities are in fact not so but rather a faithful mimesis of the burnishings of the canisters themselves according to a publisher rep. Miniscule faint title font at front cover slightly larger at spine and at endpapers is just as meaningful--barely there but necessary. The heavy black card stock endpapers however feature a sort of typographic constellation: each tiny number from a single number to four numbers appears in dark space so as to denote a former human being. Assembled jointly by David Maisel and three interlocutors and with apparent editorial freedom from the publisher. Essays by Geoff Manaugh "Mineral Kinship" Terry Toedtemeier "The Soul Remains: a mineralogical account of the remarkable transformation of the cremation canisters at the Oregon State Hospital" and Michael S. Roth "Graves of the Insane Decorated" then Maisel's "The Library and its Self-Contained Double." Most of them being being larger at their bases than at their heads the copper canisters are not unlovely but have instead a worker-like handmade quality to them. Some are burnished brightly; others are depressingly dull. From some of them bloom colorful corrosion and some of the seams are well-nigh unto splitting. Some have numbers stamped into them like shotgun shell casings and yet others have abraded paper labels still affixed to them. The lowest number registered is 01 and the highest is 5121. Uncommon in this fine state.Member I.O.B.A. C.B.A. and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes and for sets.
