The format is approximately 9.25 inches by 11.5 inches. Two-Volume Set. Volume One A-K 2viii 2 1-512 1 pages. Volume Two L-Z 4 513-1048 pages. No dust jackets present. While primarily in English this work contains bibliographic information in the major European languages and a few others. These printed catalogues and lists represent 53 separate alphabetical lists and about 4500 chronological groups were were transcribed by hand and realphatetized and reordered by date into this single alphabetical author and chronological title compilation. About 15000 separate titles are recorded here represented the work of about 4000 authors spanning the period from about 1450 through about 1940 and printed in all the major and some minor European languages. The original catalogues and lists include a few titles in Greek but they did not include any titles in Asian languages Hebrew Cyrillic or other non-European orthographies. As a literal transcription of a series of catalogues and lists of a single library the final product retains all the archaic idiosyncratic and out of date elements of the original as well as all the advantages and disadvantages of library catalogues in general and this highly regarded one in particular. This catalogue gives a reasonably accurate picture of what the collection looked like from about 1822 to 1940. It revels what the librarians themselves all active RAS members and astronomers at the society thought the membership need to know about its holdings. The Royal Astronomical Society RAS is a learned society and charity that encourages and promotes the study of astronomy solar-system science geophysics and closely related branches of science.2 Its headquarters are in Burlington House on Piccadilly in London. The society has over 4000 members known as fellows most of whom are professional researchers or postgraduate students. Around a quarter of Fellows live outside the UK. The society holds monthly scientific meetings in London and the annual National Astronomy Meeting at varying locations in the British Isles. The RAS publishes the scientific journals Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Geophysical Journal International and RAS Techniques and Instruments along with the trade magazine Astronomy & Geophysics.<br /> The RAS maintains an astronomy research library engages in public outreach and advises the UK government on astronomy education. The society recognizes achievement in astronomy and geophysics by issuing annual awards and prizes with its highest award being the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society. The RAS is the UK adhering organization to the International Astronomical Union and a member of the UK Science Council. The society was founded in 1820 as the Astronomical Society of London to support astronomical research. At that time most members were 'gentleman astronomers' rather than professionals. It became the Royal Astronomical Society in 1831 on receiving a Royal Charter from William IV. Between 1835 and 1916 women were not allowed to become fellows but Anne Sheepshanks Lady Margaret Lindsay Huggins Agnes Clerke Annie Jump Cannon and Williamina Fleming were made honorary members. In 1886 Isis Pogson was the first woman to attempt election as a fellow of the RAS being nominated unsuccessfully by her father and two other fellows. All fellows had been male up to this time and her nomination was withdrawn when lawyers claimed that under the provisions of the society's royal charter fellows were only referred to as he and as such had to be men. A Supplemental Charter in 1915 opened up fellowship to women. On 14 January 1916 Mary Adela Blagg Ella K Church A Grace Cook Irene Elizabeth Toye Warner and Fiammetta Wilson were the first five women to be elected to Fellowship. One of the major activities of the RAS is publishing refereed journals. It publishes three primary research journals: the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society for topics in astronomy; the Geophysical Journal International for topics in geophysics in association with the Deutsche Geophysikalische Gesellschaft; and RAS Techniques & Instruments for research methods in those disciplines. The society also publishes a trade magazine for members Astronomy & Geophysics. The Royal Astronomical Society has a more comprehensive collection of books and journals in astronomy and geophysics than the libraries of most universities and research institutions. The library receives some 300 current periodicals in astronomy and geophysics and contains more than 10000 books from popular level to conference proceedings. Its collection of astronomical rare books is second only to that of the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh in the UK. The RAS library is a major resource not just for the society but also the wider community of astronomers geophysicists and historians. The Royal Astronomical Society has been collecting books and manuscripts since it was established in 1820. It now has a core collection of 4300 rare books purchased or donated by Fellows. The 1922 bequest of the astronomer and soldier Colonel Edmond Grove-Hills is one of the most valuable donations: more than 500 books dating from 1472 to 1700. The collection includes 36 incunables books printed in Europe before 1501 in the earliest days of the printing press. The incunables in the Grove-Hills collection represent an interweaving of knowledge and skill spanning centuries: the learning of the classical and medieval scholars whose works were transmitted in manuscript and then in print. They include examples of innovations in scientific publishing - multicolored figures and paper instruments - that made these volumes the cutting-edge scientific tools of their day. Now they provide a window into 15th-century scientific thought that is valuable for outreach as well as research. Martino Publishing hardcover

Accompanied by an Essay by Alex Ross the brilliant and influential music critic of The New Yorker Magazine. "Did Alaska create the music of John Luther Adams or did the music create his Alaska For the past thirty years the vastness of Alaska has swept through the distant reaches of the composer's imagination and every corner of his compositions. Adams proposes an ideal of musical ecology the philosophical foundation on which his largest most complex musical works are based. His installation 'The Place Where You Go To Listen' is a sound-and-light environment that gives voice to the cycles of sunlight and darkness the phases of the moon the seismic rhythms of the earth and the dance of the aurora borealis 'a place for hearing the unheard music of the world around us'. Includes two seminal Essays the composer's journal telling the story of the day-to-day emergence of The Place musical notations graphs and illustrations of geo-physical phenomena" Publisher's blurb. "Only John Luther Adams one of our most audacious and visionary artists could compose a piece to be played by the sun and the cycling moon by stresses and quakes in the earth's crust and fluctuations in the planet's magnetosphere. Uncanny metamorphic ethereal telluric Adams' music compels our participation often using the most up-to-date technology to draw the human body into a deeper rapport with the elemental forces of Nature" David Abram.
