"The central goal of this exhibition is to display a selection of impressive and rare examples of this important yet unfamiliar category of prints that blossomed across Europe in the sixteenth century. It will introduce the composite print phenomenon in order to reassess and situate it within the history of Renaissance visual culture while also hoping to stimulate further study. For the first time since the ground-breaking exhibition Riesenholzschnitte Giant Woodcuts held in Germany in 1976 this exhibition assembles nearly fifty of these multipart works in one place. It however also expands the body of material from that earlier exhibition to include both engravings and etchings in addition to woodcuts." p. 8 With essays by Larry Silver Suzanne Boorsch Lilian Armstrong Alison Stewart and Stephen Goddard a substantial bibliography and the exhibition checklist of 47 items. Beautiful and detailed reproductions of the prints. Davis Museum and Cultural Center, Wellesley College hardcover books

1913BL4313Leipzig:: Wilhelm Engelmann 1913. 1913. Series: Handbucher der Abstammungslehre II. Band. 8vo. 179 figs. 3 color plates index. Original steel-gray gilt and black-stamped cloth. Very good . Plate was a student of Haeckel and a Darwinist. "From 1898 he was titular professor at Berlin where he was named curator of the Museum fur Meereskunde in 1901; he was also ordinary professor at the Landwirtschafiliche Hochschule. Plate's museum experience especially impressed Haeckel whom he succeeded in 1909 as professor of zoology and director of the Phyletische Museum at Jena. Haeckel who had strongly favored Plate's appointment expected to have his wishes followed; but bitter dissension soon broke out between the two. No doubt there were contributing factors in both personalities but the former pupil and protege did his best to derogate Haeckel and to make his position untenable. Plate was a founder and the coeditor for biology of the Archiv fur Rassen- und Gesellschaftsbiologie from its establishment in 1904. The publication was dedicated to the study of the laws of variability and inheritance of the development of races and the relation of the family society and the state to "racial and social hygiene" a goal perhaps initially eugenic but later having increasingly political application. Plate's views on zoological matters became entwined with his political opinions; and for years he digressed freely during his biological lectures to express his convictions as an avowed member of the Right as a Pan-Germanist and as an anti-Semite. He expounded his ideas on the labor movement and was a declared pro-Fascist long before 1933. Plate competent and painstaking in his zoological investigations was a member of the latter group although he was a staunch Darwinist. He examined the theory of natural selection as it might apply to numerous specific instances in which evolutionary changes were discernible." – DSB Gloria Robinson.

200726252Hong Kong/Köln/London/Los Angeles/Madrid/Paris/Tokyo: Barnes & Noble / Taschen. Fine in Fine dj. 2008 c.2007. Reprint. Hardcover. nice clean copy with no discernible wear to either book or jacket. Movie Icons Series B&W and color photographs There are certainly better and definitely bigger books about Steve McQueen than this small-format tome 6"x8" but if you're in search of a kind of "essence of McQueen" you couldn't do much better. There's an intelligent introductory essay "Steve McQueen: King of Cool" by Alain Silver followed by a "Visual Filmography" which takes up the heart of the book and presents stills from all his films all credited to The Kobal Collection and beautifully reproduced in the best Taschen manner. The Chronology Filmography alas with just the director's credit plus McQueen's role and Bibliography are all quite brief but that doesn't take away from its pleasure as a pictorial survey of his career. All text and captions are in English German and French. The original 2007 Taschen edition seems to have been issued as a paperback only; this edition hardcover with dust jacket appears to have been produced basically for the American remainder market yet seems to be less common than the paperback. Go figure. . Barnes & Noble / Taschen hardcover books
