05-06351968. Gouache painting on board. 1.5 x 17 inches. BellevueAnnotated titled and dated on the mount by the artist in pencil. Literature: Millard Sheets. One-Man Renaissance by Janice Lovoos and Edmund Penney p. 148. Authenticated by the artist's son Tony Sheets on the verso. "Hilton’s Rainbow Murals Perhaps second only to Diamond Head as a Waikiki landmark the rainbow murals adorning the mauka mountain and makai ocean ends of the Village’s Rainbow Tower are the world’s tallest ceramic murals. Designed by renowned artist Millard Sheets the colorful ceramic tiles climb the entire height of the 31-story tower. By design the murals welcome all visitors to Oahu regardless of their hotel choice; the focal point for the murals is 2.5 miles away which on the ocean side coincides with the air corridor in and out of Honolulu International Airport. An inscription in Hawaiian on the mural reads: “Ho’ola’a ia I na kanaka me o ka uhane o Hawaii†“dedicated to the people and spirit of Hawaiiâ€. During 2004 the murals will receive a facelift of sorts – more than 100 tiles that have cracked broken or become badly weathered by the elements over the past 35 years will be replaced with exact recreations that will be impossible to discern from Sheets’ original masterpieces." 1968. unknown

Luther "Die Titeleinfassungen der Reformationszeit" pl. 89. <br /><br />From what modern scholarship can discern Serenus was a poet who had a keen interest in medical science and pharmaceuticals. He is famous for using the formula "abracadabra" in the treatment of illness and for amassing a personal library of 60000 scrolls. The 1107 hexameter lines that make up this essay were inspired by the "Medicina Plinii" a book of pharmacy by a pseudo-Pliny of the mid-4th-century as well as the real Pliny's Natural History and the Greek guide to materia medica by Dioscorides. The text consists of prescriptions and remedies for about 65 different diseases. The poem was extremely influential in the practice of Late-Antique and Medieval medicine. It was reprinted 21 times between the first edition of 1484 and 1731 apart from inclusion in many compilations of medical texts. As late as 1866 it was translated into German Prescriptions cover a range of ailments from headache itching elephantiasis bad breath gall stones pimples treatment of wounds and even money bites. The text is followed by Remmius Flavianus "Carmen de ponderibus et mensuris" a versified explanation of weights and measurees specifically for use by physicians.

A fine clean and wide-margined copy. <br/><br/><em>First edition of a fundamental work in Meteorology in which Saussure describes how to construct a hygrometer from human hair that can measure the relative humidity and discussing the principles behind it. Cuvier regarded this book as one of the greatest contributions to science of the eighteenth century."A milestone work in chemistry physics and meteorology which established hygrometry as an exact science. Primarely a geologist who explored and published on the Alps Saussure 1740-1788 was the first to prove that air expands and becomes less dense the more humidity it contains. In these Essais the work offered he describes his experiments with the hair hygrometer of his invention and his theory of the evaporation and hygrometry with their applications to meteorology. he also enunciates his theory of the evaporation of water in hydrogen carbon dioxide and other gases."Neville II p. 427 a."In his essay on the theoretical principles of hygrometry which he conceives as "the art of measuring the absolute quantity of water suspended in the air" De Saussure distinguishes three classes of methods of determining humidity which respectively utilize i observations of changes in the weight dimensions or shape of a hygroscopic body; ii observations of the capacity of the air for taking up water; and iii observations of the quantity of water condensing from the air under given conditions on a cold surface or of the degree of cold necessary to start such an condensation."Wolf "A History of Science Technology & Philosophy in the 18th Century" I p. 326 ff.Partington III 763. - Partington "Breakthroughs" 1783 M - Poggendorff II 755-56. </em> hardcover
