Illustrated front cover. Illustrations. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Front cover has slight weakness and has been restrengthened with glue. Foreword by Harwell Hamilton Harris. Collects and analyzes letters between Louis Sullivan and R. M. Schindler and then Schindler and Richard Neutra. Esther McCoy November 18 1904 in Horatio Arkansas – December 30 1989 was an American author and architectural historian who was instrumental in bringing the modern architecture of California to the attention of the world. During World War II McCoy worked as a draftsman for R.M. Schindler. From 1950 until her death in 1989 McCoy was a frequent contributor to John Entenza's Los Angeles-based magazine Arts & Architecture to Architectural Forum Architectural Record and Progressive Architecture as well as to European magazines such as L'Architectura and Lotus. She also wrote pieces on architecture for the Los Angeles Times and the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner. Her first major book published in 1960 was Five California Architects the first work to bring to the attention of a wide audience the works of pioneer California modernists Charles and Henry Greene Irving Gill Bernard Maybeck and the Los Angeles-based Austrian emigre Rudolf Schindler. This book was followed by others devoted to the Case Study Houses sponsored by Arts & Architecture Schindler's fellow emigre Richard Neutra and architects Craig Ellwood Calvin C. Straub among others. "Vienna to Los Angeles: Two Journeys" is noted California architectural historian Esther McCoy's detailed study of the confluence between R.M Schindler and Richard Neutra. It explores the great modernist architects' Viennese roots and publishes for the first time scores of photographs drawings and typographically transcribed correspondence between Schindler and Neutra as well as Schindler and the renowned Louis Sullivan. Harwell Hamilton Harris FAIA July 2 1903 – November 18 1990 was a modernist American architect noted for his work in Southern California that assimilated European and American influences. He lived and worked in North Carolina from 1962 until his death in 1990. Richard Neutra 1892-1970 was an Austrian-American architect whose building career in Southern California established him as one of the preeminent Modern Architects of the 20th century. Hailing from Vienna Rudolph Michael Schindler 1887 – 1953 like his colleague Richard Neutra emigrated to the US and applied his International Style techniques to the movement that would come to be known as California Modernism. Influenced by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and taking cues from spatial notions found in cubism he developed a singular style characterized by geometrical shapes bold lines and association of materials such as wood and concrete as seen in his own Hollywood home built in 1921-22 and the house he designed for P.M. Lovell in Newport Beach 1923-24. Louis Henry Sullivan September 3 1856 – April 14 1924 was an American architect and has been called a "father of skyscrapers" and "father of modernism." He was an influential architect of the Chicago School a mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright and an inspiration to the Chicago group of architects who have come to be known as the Prairie School. Along with Wright and Henry Hobson Richardson Sullivan is one of "the recognized trinity of American architecture." The phrase "form follows function" is attributed to him although the idea was theorized by Viollet le Duc who considered that structure and function in architecture should be the sole determinants of form. In 1944 Sullivan was the second architect to posthumously receive the AIA Gold Medal. Arts + Architecture Press paperback

1925152480Tulsa OK: American Association of Petroleum Geologists 1925. Original offprint of the seminal 44-page paper which revolutionized the field of micropalaeontology by proving that microfossils could be used to date the layers of the Earth's crust. It remains a turning point in the development of modern geology. In 2017 it was included in the AAPG's 100th Anniversary project recognizing the ten most impactful papers over their 100 years of publishing. Lead author Esther Richards Applin 1895-1972 was a petroleum geologist at the Rio Bravo Oil Company. "In a paper presented at a Geological Society meeting in 1921 by her supervisor at Rio Bravo Applin suggested that microfossils could be used to date strata. She was ridiculed by more experienced geologists for her audacity. To verify her claim Applin worked with Alva Ellisor and Hedwig Kniker to find ways to separate the fossils from the matrix of the cuttings. In 1925 the three coauthored a paper that detailed the sequences and oil-bearing zones in the Gulf Coast using microfossils" Ogilvie & Harvey. "Because of their discovery the field of micropalaeontology expanded exponentially and oil companies universities and geological surveys hired hundreds of micropalaeontologists over the next four decades" Gries p. 249. Ellisor 1892-1964 was one of the first professional female stratigraphers in the United States and probably the first woman to do geological work for an oil company the Humble Oil and Refining Company. "She recognized the importance of combining laboratory work with field work. She examined nearly every area of the gulf coast visiting Pliocene Miocene Oligocene and Cretaceous exposures of the coast. After her first paper was published 1918 she identified the first Foraminifera ever observed on the Gulf Coast. this discovery supplied the oil industry with the means to identify these oil-bearing formations where previously they had been dependant on large fossils or fossil fragments. After this discovery she became Humble's first research stratigrapher and paleontologist" Gries p. 249. Ellisor was elected vice-president of the Houston Geological Society twice and was a Fellow of the Geological Society of America. Kniker 1891-1985 graduated from the University of Texas in 1916 with degrees in German psychology and geology. During her professional career she worked for Texaco in Houston Phillips Petroleum in San Angelo and United Geophysical Company in Chile as well as spending twenty years in Patagonia developing an oil field for Gulf Oil.
