Christo Vladimirov Javacheff was born on June 13 1935 in Gabrovo Bulgaria. Christo received private art instruction at a young age and the support of his parents who invited visiting artists to their house. While Bulgaria was under repressive totalitarian rule and Western art was suppressed Christo pursued realistic painting through the mid-1950s. He was admitted into the Sofia Academy of Fine Arts in 1953 but found the school dull and stifling. Instead he found inspiration in Skira art books and visiting Russian professors who were older than him and once active in Russian modernism and the Soviet avant-garde. In 1956 he used an academy connection to receive permission to visit family in Prague Amid fears of further Russian suppression in Hungary Christo decided to flee to Vienna as a railcar stowaway. In Vienna he stayed with a family friend who had not expected him studied at the Vienna Fine Arts Academy and surrendered his passport to seek political asylum as a stateless person. There he supported himself with commissions. At the behest of a friend relocated from Sofia he saved up to visit Geneva in late 1957. In violation of his visa he continued to pursue commissions whose works he would sign with his family name reserving his given name for more serious work and was transformed after visiting the Kunstmuseum Basel and Kunsthaus Zürich. In January 1958 he first began to wrap things as would become his trademark starting with a paint can. His collection of wrapped household items would be known as his Inventory. In February 1958 Christo left for Paris having received a visa with the assistance of a Sofia academy connection. In 1973 after 17 stateless years Christo became a United States citizen. L'Arc de Triomphe Wrapped a planned work by Christo and Jeanne-Claude went ahead posthumously in Paris in September 2021. Rizzoli International Publications, Inc hardcover

"This document contains information affecting the national defense of the United States with the meaning of the Espionage Act 50 U.S.C. 31 and 32 as Amended. Its transmission or the revelation of its contents in any manner to an unauthorized person is prohibited by law." The present manual was primarily designed for self-instruction and general use but also served as a text in recognition course. It includes four types of material: black and shite silhouettes wash drawings protographs and editorial matter. Silhouettes are the foundation on which all recognition training is based. The first requirement in warfare is the ability to distinguish friend from foe. Nowhere is this more difficult than in the air. Owing to the great speeds and heights attained by modern aircraft recognition is frequently dependent on a momentary glimpse. In the same way instant and accurate recognition of surface craft mechanized ground equipment etc. is fraught with great difficulties owning to varying conditions of visibility distance and variety of types. Before the outbreak of this war few realized the grave problems of recognition that the increasing dominance of air power would present. The existence of these problems was soon apparent when after two months the casualties of the British Advance Air Striking Force in France amount to:--Shot down by the Germans eight; shot down by the French nine. In those days the only questions asked was "Is it in range' Since them mistakes in recognition on the sea on land and in the air have been too numerous to mentions. Usually these mistakes are attended by the most serious consequences. It is now fully realized that the only way to prevent these occurrences is by demanding the highest general level of proficiency in recognition throughout the services. This can only be attained by concentrated study. It is not suggested that practice will main one absolutely perfect with it will certainly go most of the way toward reducing the changes of a man being a danger not only to himself but to his comrades-in-arms. The Navy's problem at sea whether on warship or merchant ship is to know as soon as possible where any aircraft or ship within sight is friendly or hostile what type it is and how it is likely to attack and from that to estimate the best method of defense. The Army's problems are also varied. Antiaircraft gunners should be able to recognize any airplane within range or likely to come within range whether flying directly toward the battery or not. Instant recognition save lives and leads to the destruction of the enemy. The first thin to be appreciated is that recognition does not begin and end with appearance. It is also essential to recognize the exact type. U.S. Navy Department paperback

The purpose of this volume was to provide in its true perspective the essential background information which would make possible intelligent planning in advance and appropriate action in an emergency. The first half of the book deals with the characteristics of atomic weapons and their effects on structures equipment and personnel. The second half considered the steps that could be taken to minimize those effects and to control their consequences. The Armed Forces Special Weapons Project AFSWP was a U. S. military agency responsible for those aspects of nuclear weapons remaining under military control after the Manhattan Project was succeeded by the Atomic Energy Commission. These responsibilities included the maintenance storage surveillance security and handling of nuclear weapons as well as supporting nuclear testing. The AFSWP was a joint organization staffed by the U. S. Army U. S. Navy and U. S. Air Force. Major General Leslie R. Groves was its first chief. The early nuclear weapons were stored as components rather than complete devices and required expert knowledge to assemble. The short life of their lead-acid batteries and modulated neutron initiators and the heat generated by the fissile cores precluded storing them assembled. The large quantity of explosives in each weapon demanded special care be taken in handling. A team of regular Army officers were trained in the assembly and handling of the weapons. GPO hardcover

1917233411917. U.S. Navy photo archive documenting the Mexican Patrol mission of USS Rainier a Pacific Fleet auxiliary schoonerduring World War I. This archive documents U.S. naval personnel moved between shipboard duty shore stations and regional exploration in Mexican and California waters. Taken by Lieutenant junior grade Dr. Louis Henry Clerf the ship's medical officer these photographs place a named naval physician inside the working life of a little-documented auxiliary vessel assigned to Division 2 Pacific Fleet and the Mexican Patrol after the Navy acquired and commissioned the former civilian schooner in 1917. Rather than isolating military routine from observational practice the archive shows how officers aboard a small auxiliary ship simultaneously functioned as servicemen medical staff coastal travelers and recorders of local environments and natural science during a period of expanding American naval movement along the Pacific and Baja coastline.<br /> <br /> <br /> Photo archive of 41 silver gelatin photographs with many captions most measure 3.5" x 4.5" aboard USS Rainier and in Pacific coastal locations including San Diego and the Guaymas region circa 1917 to 1919. Several photographs focus on animals aboard ship including dogs kept by the crew birds fish catches and larger game animals associated with hunting and provisioning activities carried out during the patrol. Other images depict sailors handling fish and displaying catches beside the vessel revealing the practical realities of subsistence and food sourcing aboard a small auxiliary ship operating in relatively isolated Pacific waters. Together the photographs document the intersection of military hierarchy environmental encounter maritime labor and animal life aboard a World War I patrol. The images include repeated shipboard views of sailors and officers in white tropical uniforms and darker service dress posed singly and in groups on deck among rigging spars deck fittings railings and a mounted gun firmly establishing the operational setting aboard a naval auxiliary rather than a private voyage. Several photographs show relaxed mess scenes beneath awnings men seated at tables or gathered informally at sea while others picture uniformed personnel beside an automobile ashore and in front of a large urban hotel or institutional building. A large formal group portrait taken before an ornate Spanish colonial church further extends the coastal location. One verso identifies "Duck shooting at Ensenada de Francisco Bay about 20 miles north of Guaymas" while another reads "Hospital. Navy Training camp San Diego" linking the group to both field excursion and medical infrastructure. The captions combined with views of harbor craft shore architecture and regional movement show the same photographic hand operating across military environmental and natural science subjects. There are also many photos of the fishes and animals of the Baha region with captions.<br /> <br /> <br /> USS Rainier built in Portland in 1917 as the civilian schooner Patrol and later renamed Angel entered Navy service as a Pacific auxiliary during World War I. Commissioned at Mare Island on July 30 1917 and assigned to Division 2 Pacific Fleet she served on the Mexican Patrol off Southern California and Baja California placing this archive within the history of continued U.S. naval surveillance and mobility in Mexican waters during World War I rather than in a purely European war frame. The archive is attributable to a trained Navy physician who later went on to a long and prominent civilian medical career Dr. Louis Henry Clerf of Washington state. this archive preserve the operational world of a Navy auxiliary schooner where smaller patrol and support vessels were essential to maritime presence but far less frequently documented than battleships or major transports. Clerf's position as medical officer gives the archive unusual coherence since the photographs join shipboard hierarchy working naval space coastal circulation and natural-history attention within one attributable officer's record of service during the final years of World War I and the Mexican Patrol. Dr. Cliff also seem to have a deep interest in natural sciences and has included many photographs of the fish and animals that could be found at the time in the Baha region. Light surface wear scattered fading and minor edge or corner wear; captions present on some versos with images generally clean and legible. The archive offers an identified record of Mexican Patrol service aboard USS Rainier and of the broader naval presence that connected California Baja California and the Gulf of California during the final years of World War I. unknown
