1973BB011SENDAK MAurice<br />MAX - Where The Wild Things Are Animation 1973<br />A series of seven character sketches of the protagonist Max dressed in his wolf suit intending to show the animators how the figure should move throughout the animated film.<br />Weston Woods Studio under the leadership of Morton Schindel introduced film strips in 1968 and eventually translated popular children's picture books into animated films for American schools. In 1973 he developed a rendition of Sendak's WILD THINGS created under the direction of Gene Deitch in Prague which proved a great success. Sendak put together this study sheet showing a variety of hand and foot gestures head motions &c with both front and partial profile views. Each of the seven sketches he has annotated below then writing a full line of extended text across the bottom: <i>"Note: all of this should be more agitated - more stacato ! - all sharp pointing stabbing gestures - Hitler moves : harsh sharp goose-stepping gestures"</i> with his signature at far right "M Sendak". <br />The drawings are first sketched in pencil and then further developed in ink using a pentel felt tip pen on smooth matte paper. A few copies were photographically reproduced to send to Czechoslovakia for animators to follow but this sheet is the actual artwork. books
196896790New York: Atheneum 1968. First edition of Watson's ground breaking work regarding the discovery of DNA for which the author Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1962. Signed by all three laureates on the title page James D. Watson Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins. Octavo original blue cloth with numerous diagrams and photographic illustrations. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Jeanyee Wong. Foreword by Sir Lawrence Bragg. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. We have never seen another example signed by all three contributors; exceptionally rare. "Science seldom proceeds in the straightforward logical manner imagined by outsiders" writes James Watson in The Double Helix his account of his codiscovery along with Francis Crick of the structure of DNA. Watson and Crick won Nobel Prizes for their work and their names are memorized by biology students around the world. But as in all of history the real story behind the deceptively simple outcome was messy intense and sometimes truly hilarious. To preserve the "real" story for the world James Watson attempted to record his first impressions as soon after the events of 1951-1953 as possible with all their unpleasant realities and "spirit of adventure" intact.

196495688Amsterdam: Elsevier Publishing Company 1964. First edition of this collection of Nobel Lectures in physiology or medicine from the years 1942-1962. Thick Octavo original yellow cloth. Signed by all three Nobel Prize-winning scientists Francis Crick James D. Watson and Maurice Wilkins on the title page. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1962 "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material."Fine in a very good dust jacket with some closed tears and toning to the spine. An exceptional piece signed by these Nobel Prize-winning scientists. In the early 1950s the race to discover DNA was on. At Cambridge University graduate student Francis Crick and research fellow James Watson had become interested impressed especially by Pauling's work. Meanwhile at King's College in London Maurice Wilkins b. 1916 and Rosalind Franklin were also studying DNA. The Cambridge team's approach was to make physical models to narrow down the possibilities and eventually create an accurate picture of the molecule. The King's team took an experimental approach looking particularly at x-ray diffraction images of DNA. Watson and Crick took a crucial conceptual step suggesting the molecule was made of two chains of nucleotides each in a helix as Franklin had found but one going up and the other going down. Crick had just learned of Chargaff's findings about base pairs in the summer of 1952. He added that to the model so that matching base pairs interlocked in the middle of the double helix to keep the distance between the chains constant. Watson and Crick showed that each strand of the DNA molecule was a template for the other. During cell division the two strands separate and on each strand a new "other half" is built just like the one before. This way DNA can reproduce itself without changing its structure -- except for occasional errors or mutations. The structure so perfectly fit the experimental data that it was almost immediately accepted. DNA's discovery has been called the most important biological work of the last 100 years and the field it opened may be the scientific frontier for the next 100.

194716078Paris: Imprimerie National 1947. First edition of Allais' groundbreaking work. Octavo 2 volumes original wrappers as issued. Inscribed by Maurice Allais on the title page of volume one. From the library of fellow Nobel Prize-winning economist Kenneth Arrow with his name in each volume. In near fine condition with light shelfwear minor mending to the first few pages of volume one. A nice association linking these two Nobel Prize winning-economists and giants of twentieth century economics. In Economie & Interet Maurice Allais introduced the first overlapping generations model later popularized by Paul Samuelson in 1958 introduced the golden rule of optimal growth later popularized by Edmund Phelps or described the transaction demand for money rule later found in William Baumol's work. In 1988 Maurice Allais became the first French citizen to receive the Nobel Prize in economics. He won it for his contribution to the understanding of market behavior and the efficient use of resources. Allais also showed that his insights could be applied to help set efficient prices for state-owned monopolies of which France had many. Allais's work paralleled and sometimes preceded similar work done by English-speaking economists Sir John Hicks and Paul Samuelson. He also proved a result in growth theory in 1947 that had been credited to Edmund Phelps. Allais did not get credit as early as his English counterparts because his work was in French. "Had Allais' earliest writings been in English" commented Paul Samuelson "a generation of economic theory would have taken a different course. Imprimerie National unknown books

First Edition. Orenstein: Ravel Man and Musician p. 228. <br/><br/>L'Heure Espagnole was first performed in Paris at the Opéra Comique on May 19 1911 to a libretto closely based on the play by Franc-Nohain. <br/><br/>Madame Jean Cruppi the dedicatee convinced the director of the Opéra-Comique Albert Carré to stage the work in spite of its risqué story line. "In a letter of 17 May 1911 two days before the première Ravel wrote: 'What I've tried to do is fairly ambitious: to breathe new life into the Italian opera buffa: following only the principle . the French language like any other has its own accents and inflections of pitch.' At the same time he referred to Musorgsky's Zhenit'ba 'The Marriage' as the work's only real ancestor. It also forms part of a larger group of Spanish works that spanned Ravel's whole career and the necessary Spanish colouring provided him with a reason for a virtuoso use of the modern orchestra which he felt was 'perfectly designed for underlining and exaggerating comic effects'." Roger Nichols in Grove Music Online. Indeed composer-writer Reynaldo Hahn somewhat critically referred to Ravel's technique as "a sort of transcendent jujitsu."<br/><br/>Noted music critic Georges Jean-Aubry 1882-1949 "belonged to a circle of avant-garde musicians and littérateurs and was a frequent contributor to periodicals. Encouraged by his 20-year friendship with Debussy he wrote enthusiastically in support of contemporary French composers noting similarities between their music and that of the 18th century Couperin Rameau. He wrote perceptively in praise of Spanish composers Falla Granados Albéniz but rejected German Romanticism as expressed in the works of Wagner and Strauss." Grove Music Online. A.
