1996146247New York: Four Walls Eight Windows 1996. Softcover. VG. Gray & BW illus. wraps French flaps 168 pp. BW illus. "In October 1963 the once great Pennsylvania Stations was dismantled piece by elegant piece carried away to a waste dump in New Jersey. Just as the classical structure was an emblem of turn-of-the-century prosperity and architectural grandeur it became a national symbol of mindless greed and civic self-destruction fifty years later. This book reasserts the profound importance of our urban architecture -- culturally socially aesthetically. This book is more than a lament for a destroyed treasure; it not only tells a cautionary tale of the destruction of a single great building but of our collective history." flap.

Gilt-stamped green cloth dust-jacket; jacket slightly worn along edges. Near fine. br ISBN: 0521331153 FIRST EDITION. "This book tells how quantitative ideas of chance have transformed the natural and social sciences as well as everyday life over the past three centuries. A continuous narrative connects the earliest application of probability and statistics in gambling and insurance to the most recent forays into law medicine polling and baseball. Separate chapters explore the theoretical and methodological impact on biology physics and psychology. In contrast to the literature on the mathematical development of probability and statistics this book centers on how these technical innovations recreated our conceptions of nature mind and society" Cambridge publishers.
