Very good. 31 separate and rare offprints from noted geneticist Robert P. Wagner of the University of Texas at Austin. Wagner was brought into Texas' renowned center for genetics by J.T. Patterson who served as his mentor. The majority of the papers concern his important research and experimentation with Neurospora crassa a model organism in biochemical genetics. Wagner is the co-author of four books the first of which Genetics and Metabolism 1955 was the "first major synthesis and summary of the emerging field of biochemical genetics and was an important influence worldwide being translated into several languages and used extensively as a textbook" "In memoriam Robert Wagner" available at the UT Austin web-page.

1899WRCAM31111Akron Oh.: The Werner Company 1899. 103pp. plus twenty-five chromolithographs. Oblong folio. Original pictorial cloth. Corners bumped cloth edgeworn and spotted. Hinges weak. Internally clean and fresh. Wagner's lavish work contains numerous large chromolithographs depicting the history of the army of the United States from the American Revolution to the Spanish-American War with depictions of all. It also serves as a useful guide for identifying military dress throughout the first hundred years of the U.S. Army. The Werner Company of Akron Ohio was a leading innovator in new printing technology at the end of the century. According to McGrath the plates were created by combining the primary colors and sienna in careful mixtures allowing far fewer color stones than would have traditionally been used. "Not only are the plates technically interesting but three are from drawings by Henry Alexander Ogden" - McGrath. The result of this trichromatic chromolithographic technique while somewhat blotchy in appearance probably considerably lowered the cost of printing such a plate. Wagner's work was published in a one-volume edition which contained forty-two plates including seventeen of the U.S. Navy with accompanying text. It was also published in a two-volume set with one volume for the army as here and one for the navy. McGRATH pp.149 163 172. BENNETT p.109. The Werner Company hardcover books

"Schottky although a theorist was the most important industrial physicist in twentieth century Germany. Being one of the 'outstanding research personalities' of the Siemens company he was granted scientific freedom to pursue problems of pure physics. Thus his contributions include both technological and scientific achievements: invention of the tetrode electron tube and the superhertodyne principle for receiving wireless signals discover of the 'small-shot effect' noise due to the quantum structure of electricity in electron tubes theory of crystal defects and theory of rectification in semiconductor-metal contacts.in the 1950s still on the Siemens payroll he played a pivotal role in the establishment of solid-state and especially semiconductor physics as a field of research in its own right in postwar Germany."

1944WRCLIT60306Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1944. Two volumes each foliated in reel/page format as: 11097101110108 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Second item stapled at left margin first formerly stapled. Some corner creases "Master File Copy" and production number stamps on title leaf of first item pencil annotations name and ink file number on title leaf of second. Very good. Two late production states of the script for the 1945 film based on a story idea by Jack Wagner cowritten with John Steinbeck and adapted as a screenplay by Frank Butler. The release dialogue script records a print totaling 51 more feet than the censorship script. Irving Pichel directed and Dorothy Lamour J. Carrol Naish and Arturo de Cordova led the cast. Obviously little apart from Steinbeck's treatment for the film the Valentine collection included a carbon typescript may be easily identified as purely Steinbeck's work; however nothing relating to the script saw lifetime publication so even continuity scripts such as these take on some significance for Steinbeck scholars.
