The preface to its inclusion here notes that "as they are affirmed by the Marquis de Condorcet Turgot's biographer to be the germ from which Mr. Adam Smith formed his excellent treatise on The Wealth of Nations it is hoped the curious reader will not be displeased to find them here in an English dress".

Besides numerous fortification plans and views the plates show for example bridges tools for digging construction and demolition and a horse-powered Archimedes's screw for pumping water while three plates show the arrangement of troops' quarters in camp. While some of the fortification plans are theoretical others show the fortifications of cities of the Low Countries and Rheinland during the Eighty Years' War. The text is divided into three "books" the first covering the origins development and most recent Dutch improvements in the art of fortification the second systematically presenting the various forms of fortification and the third on offensive and defensive tactics of siege warfare. Together with the excellent plates it gives remarkable insight into the working techniques and tools of fortification building ca. 1630. The lexicon gives terminology for fortification and related fields in French German Dutch and Latin and remains an essential source on the subject.With two small drawings an occasional manuscript note some underlining and a bookplate. With some foxing in the engraved title-page and a few other leaves occasional mostly marginal stains and minor browning but otherwise in good condition. With superficial damage to the boards and worming slightly affecting the boards and badly damaging the backstrip which has been restored at the head and foot.

Corporate Bookplates In All Volumes. A "Printing And The Mind Of Man" Title. Human Greeds Tend To Cancel Each Other Out And Are Dangerous Only When Government Interferes On One Side Or Another. Thus Government Has No Role To Play In Using Military Force Or Diplomatic Resources To Protect Foreign Trade Although Of Course No Self-Proclaimed Adam Smith Acolyte Politician Would Agree Despite Their Justifications Of Liberalism Free Trade Democracy Etc. : The Greed Of Politicians The Primary Fact Of Modern Life Was Not Fully Anticipated By Smith. The Main Point That Is Usually Cited From Smith'S Long Work 4 Volumes Neglecting 99% Of His Analysis Focuses Only On The Idea That Unrestricted Free Trade Is Better. Modern Interpretations Further Claim That Free Trade Is Always Better And Should Be The Primary Goal- Period That It Is An Absolute Necessity. A Thought Experiment Can Show How That Is Ridiculous. Imagine A World Where A Country Spends Far More On Sex Tourism Overseas Than On Purchasing Anything Else. The Sex Workers Overseas Will Spend Some Money On That Country'S Services And Goods But If There Is An Unbalanced Outflow Most Of The Money In The "Purchasing" Country Will End Up In The "Selling Country". The Purchasing Country Has Nothing To Show In The Long Term For All Those Transitory Pleasures It Purchased And The Country Will Dissolve As It Can No Longer Pay The Normal Everyday Debts Of Government And Private Activity. One Can Listen To Professional Economists That Say That Is Not True But If It Is Not True Why Do The Unfunded Debts Of Federal State And Local Governments Worldwide Keep Going Up And Why Can'T Governments Worldwide Come Up With Working Budgets The Problem Is Not Just In Regulation It Is Also A Problem Of Too Much Consumption. If That Analysis Is Wrong Where Is A Country That Can Provide A Current Budget That Is Based On Receipts Rather Than Expectations And When Have Those Expectations Ever Been Correct Over Say A Century In World History Economists Are Not Historians They Are Bureaucratic Advisors Who Sell Their Advice That Is Not Based On Long-Term Evidence Have Themselves Never Built Anything That Endures Can Point To No Physical Evidence That They Understand How The World Works And Have No Responsibilities When Things Fail. Every Empire And Every Government Fails When It Can No Longer Pay Enough To Sustain And Defend Itself. The Best Interpretation Of The Free Trade Argument Is That Free Trade Is Better For Most Businesses That Make Money From Selling And That In Itself Is Better For Society. If That In Itself Is Better Than Not Having Free Trade If Free Trade Is The Highest Principle In And Of Itself Then Slavery Imperialist Warfare Dictatorship Poisonous And Unhealthy Food Pollution And The Destruction Of Every Natural Thing Become Acceptable So Long As Free Trade Exists. We May Look Forward To Seeing Articles From Economists That Defend That Position And Also To Detailed Budgets For National State And City Governments That Is Within The Boundaries Of Their Receipts. Absent That We Must At Least Consider That Whatever Professional Advisors Say There Is An Issue In The Real World Of "Government Budgets" And We Are Left To Consider What Is The System Of Trade Laws That Make It More Likely That We Will In The Foreseeable Future Have Balanced Them. <br/> <br/> London: Strahan And Cadell unknown

54285Niedzica Castle 1978. Vintage gelatin silver print ca. 1983 12.5 × 17.8 cm. Inscription by the artist to the right side of the print in flack felt tip pen. Very good. A live restaging of the Pieta motif this work is part of the Living Images series created by Adam Rzepecki b.1950 in 1978. Working under the slogan "I pretend to be an artist" Adam Rzepecki b. 1950 studied Art History at the Jagellonian University in Krakow his later artistic work continually referring to the history of art re-working tweaking and thereby commenting on artistic practice. In his student days Rzepecki created a series of photographs "Living Images" re-staging famous paintings from the history of art a signature practice of Lódź Kaliska which he co-founded in 1979 after meeting Marek Janiak a year earlier at the Poznań art festival. Their banner "Temple of embarrassing art" stretched over the festival grounds at Osieki 81 would be the first direct attack on Polish neo-avant-garde and signal the arrival of neo-dada. Commenting on gender and gender bending was another important feature of Rzepecki's work. His 1981 "Statue of the Polish Father" depicting a Rzepecki breastfeeding an infant recalls the imagery of Madonna and Child. Similarly his 1983 cover of the first TANGO contains a postcard of Madonna and Child Our Lady of Częstochowa with the image "desecrated" by a drawn-on mustache in a manner similar to Ducham's treatment of the Mona Lisa. In the Polish context Rzepecki's act was art-historical as well as political - part of Kultura Zrzuty distancing itself from both the state-sanctioned art and the artistic and political dissidents supported by the Catholic Church. unknown

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- Text in English. Description: " 'Maria Pergay: Complete Works 1957-2010" is the first comprehensive survey of the work of the legendary French furniture designer whose work has attracted clients and collectors from around the world for decades. Pergay is most renowned for her use of stainless steel which she began exploring in 1968 with the now iconic Flying Carpet Daybed and the Ring Chair. Since 1957 Pergay has worked with everyone from Pierre Cardin to the Saudi Royal family designing an extravagant Turtle Sofa for the couturier and the interiors of the Al Hada palace in Riyahd. In the late 1980s and through the 1990s the designer received important commissions from Russia and continued to pursue her innovative work in stainless steel combining it with materials such as mother of pearl lacquer and precious woods to striking effect. Since her major New York exhibition in 2006 Pergay now 80 has exhibited internationally and has continued to create pieces for major collectors. Compiled with the designer's collaboration Maria Pergay: Complete Works 1957-2010 covers more than 50 years of creation. As the only authoritative reference catalogue on the designer's work it presents detailed factual descriptions of more than 300 of Pergay's designs accompanied by contemporary and vintage photographs many of which have never previously been reproduced. Maria Pergay was born to Russian parents in Romania in 1930 emigrating to France at the age of seven. Pergay designed her first collection of contemporary silver objects in 1957 opening her own shop on Paris' Place des Vosges in 1960. In 1968 her first group of stainless steel furniture was exhibited at Galerie Maison Jardin and gained her instant success. Pergay has since been sought after by sophisticated collectors for private commissions around the world including Saudi Arabia and Russia. Since her major New York show in 2006 Pergay now in her eighties exhibits internationally while continuing to create pieces for a growing audience of major collectors." -- with a bonus offer-- - May be EITHER: out of print OOP and extremely rare in this pristine condition; signed by author or contributor; or a first or special edition; inquire for details .

Seltene und frühe lateinische Ausgabe der "Anatomischen Tabellen" des bekanntesten Kompendium der Anatomie des 18.Jhdts. Dieses Werk "stellte den ersten erfolgreichen Versuch dar den Wissensstoff der Anatomie der in den vergangenen zwei Jahrhunderten seit dem Erscheinen des Buches von Andreas Vesals "De corporis humani fabrica" im Jahre 1543 gewaltig angewachsen war in übersichtlicher und leicht lernbarer Form zusammenzufassen und mit Bildern zu erläutern." H.Goerke Die Beziehungen Japans zur europäischen Medizin im 18.Jhdt. J.Jap.Soc.Med.Hist. 20 1974 p.418-388 Johann Adam Kulmus 1689-1745 aus Breslau war Schüler von Herman Boerhaave 1668-1738 und des Anatomen Bernhard Albinus 1833-1721 in Leiden. Nach einer Studienreise durch Holland war er als Arzt in Danzig tätig und Professor für Medizin und Physik am Gymnasium in Danzig und hatte dort für seine Schüler und für Wundärzte die "Anatomischen Tabellen" verfaßt. Durch holländische Seefahrer gelangte sein Werk auch nach Japan und wurde übersetzt und unter dem Titel "Kaitai shinsho" von R. Mayeno herausgegeben. Dieses Buch war der Grundstein westlicher Medizin in Japan. Foundation of western Medicine in Japan! The rare Latin edition printed in Amsterdam of "Die Anatomische Tabellen". The Compendium became very well-known and wide-spread and it was the first anatomical compendium of modern medicine v. Goecke. The first edition is extremely rare since it was only designed for the use of Kulmus' students. The "Anatomische Tabellen" were even translated into Japanese. After the Japanese physicians MAYENO RYOTAKU 1723-1804 GENPAKU SUGITA 1733-1817 and JUN'AN NAKAGAWA 1739-1786 had convinced themselves the 4th of March 1771 in Kotsukappara near Edo by the dissection of an executed about 50 years old Japanese woman Aocha-Baba Mother Green Tea that those "Tabellen" presented the true anatomical relations thus demonstrated that anatomy as it had been taught in Japan up to that time was false. "The book in no way differed from what we saw before us. If we could translate parts of this Tâheru Anatomia we could gain a clear understanding entirely and advance medicine beyond its present level." Genpaku Sugita Rangaku katohajime 1815. So Kaitai Shinsho New Book on Human Dissections was the first complete translation of a medical work which originated on a German text. It represented an empirical approach to nature which was undermining the prestige of Chinese medicine in Japan. It took about 4 years and eleven attempts to translate it and was edited by GENPAKU SUGITA in 1774. The translator MAYENO RYOTAKU didn't sign it because of his extreme modesty. -cf. Hirsch-H.
