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.

20011401892New York New York: New Directions 2001. First English Language Edition. Hardcover. Small octavo 336 pages. In Very Good condition with Near Fine condition dust jacket. Spine is black with white lettering. Dust jacket protected by mylar covering price uncut: "$27.95" on front flap. Boards quarter-bound in publisher's green cloth and have mild shelving wear along extremities mild bumping to fore corners and mild sun-bleaching along cloth head and tail edges; spine mildly cocked. Text block head edge has mild age-toning. Signed flat on title page by Javier Marías. CM Consignment. Shelved Room C. DARK BACK OF TIME is Javier Marías' response to the reception of his 1992 novel ALL SOULS. ALL SOULS is arguably semi-autobiographical: it follows a professor of translation working a stint at Oxford who finds himself surrounded by lost souls in academia much like Marías once did in real life. The souls the novel was inspired by--professors bookshop owners and others of that academic ilk--recognized themselves and ardently maintain that Marías' work was roman á clef. DARK BACK OF TIME begins by exploring the bizarre effect of Marías' experience publishing ALL SOULS and thus he's deemed the former a "false novel" intertwining autobiography and fiction to tell a non-linear and mysterious tale evocative of his masterful Argentine forefather Jorge Luis Borges. Javier Marías 1951-2022 remains a star in the canon of contemporary Spanish literature whose complex philosophical narratives continue to influence the fiction and mystery genres while provoking questions about the thin and often blurred line between fiction and reality. 1401892.

These items are each inscribed by clinical psychologist professor and author Esther Menaker to Harold Courlander -- himself a prolific and much-awarded novelist folklorist and anthropologist specializing in African Caribbean and African-American cultures. The included letters evidence Courlander's close relationship with Menaker and demonstrate Courlander's role in the publication of the Menaker's book Otto Rank: A Rediscovered Legacy; the letters show it was Courlander who provided Menaker with an introduction to the Columbia University Press who would eventually publish the book. This copy of the book acquired from Courlander's personal library was signed in direct appreciation of Courlander's help. 1407594. Special Collections. Columbia University Press hardcover
