191590590New York London Boston: G. Schirmer 1915. Apparent 1st ed. with Johnson translation no later printing information. Paperback. Very Good. 165p. Softcover in original wrapper. Illustration mounted on front. 31cm. Vover illustration scuffed with some crease marks. Backstrip chipped at bottom and appears to have been reglued for four or five centimeters above above the chipping. Tape mark next to bottom of backstrip on both sides. Contents sound and clean. Johnson had great success as a lyricist early in the century but found chamged tastes when he attempted a return to song-writing in 1914. He did successfully translate the libretto for this opera which the Metropolitan Opera performed in 1916. Granados the Spanish Romantic composer of the piano pieces from which this opera was adapted attended the premiere but drowned in the English channel upon his return to Europe when a German submarine torpedoed the boat on which Granados was travelling. The libretto appears throughout the music in this edition with Granados's Spanish text immediately above Johnson's English translation. The libretto was also published separately by Schirmer in 1915 as a smaller-format 42-page pamphlet in their series of opera-librettos with Granados's Spanish text and Johnson's English translation appearing side by side in separate columns. We don't know whether either version has publishing priority but both are quite uncommon. G. Schirmer paperback

197045426New York: Max Ember 1970. Very Good. New York: Max Ember ca. 1970s. Quarto 29.5cm; post-bound mottled gray card wrappers; 1685026ll. printed mimeograph on rectos only. Light wear and toning to wrapper margins chiefly at spine foot front wrapper separating from metal binding clasp and first leaf slightly askew uneven toning to textblock; overall Very Good and sound.<br /> <br /> Stage script for an adaptation of Joan Didion's 1970 novel which had already been adapted into film in 1972. This adaptation for the stage was presumably written later in the 1970s when Ember's career started to take off after writing the Broadway adaptation of It's a Wonderful Life in 1976 and directing a revival of Death of a Salesman in 1977. <br /> <br /> While we haven't found contemporary press Ember shared with us that the production -- featuring a white box set heavy use of projectors costumes all in white for easy projection etc. -- was staged in Manhattan.<br /> No copies in the trade or OCLC as of September 2025.

The mission of the RSV committee was to offer a translation of the King James Bible that would match the accuracy of the 1885 RV / 1901 ASV yet without sacrificing the linguistic immediacy which they neglected in their word-for-word approach. The extent to which they succeeded in this is reflected in the widespread adoption of the RSV in liturgical settings as manifested in this Parish edition. 'The aim has been to present a version easy to read aloud in public worship and not hard for hearers to understand . Care has been given to rhythm euphony and cadences' -Luther Weigle head of the translation committee.

In: "Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A." Vol. LXXXV. XXIII605XXIV pp. and 11 plates. Entire volume offered. Wilson's paper: pp. 285-288 a. 1 plate. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of the paper which describes the final version of his invention the famous Cloud-Chamber - the first Cloud Chamber was invented by him in 1896 - for making visible and photographing the paths of charged particles an invention for which Wilson received a share of the Nobel Prize in 1827. By using the Cloud Chamber he was here 1911 able to observe the track of an alpha ray by condensing water drops onto the ions produced by its passage.The Cloud Chamber which Rutherford called "the most original apparatus in the whole history of physics" became standard equipment in physics laboratories and made possible numerous important discoveries in the fields of particle and nuclear physicsAfter 1896 "Wilson continued to experiment with ultraviolet radiation and other techniques for producing condensation effects but soon concentrated on atmospheric electricity not returning to the cloud chamber until December 1910. He designed an improved chamber with new methods of illumination and the possibility of photographing the results. At this time Wilson realized that it might be possible to reveal the track of an a ray by condensing water drops onto the ions produced by its passage. During March 1911 he saw this effect produced in his apparatus. Thus the elucidation of phenomena seen in the Scottish hills led to the possibility of studying the processes of radioactivity and the Wilson cloud chamber became an important piece of laboratory equipment. But it was in the study of cosmic rays that it achieved its full power particularly in the refined form developed by Patrick Blackett in which it was possible to study particles of very high energy and the production of electron-positron pairs with the chamber situated in a strong magnetic field."
