Numbered limited edition this being 3 of 3. Signed by artist and poet. <br/><br/>"Random Reports is a series of poems by Barbara Henry derived from vocabulary lists chosen by chance and choice from the first section of The New York Times.

Many many years ago I asked Barbara to allow me a binding gathering the volumes 1 2 and 3. Time being a theme on all I try my hand at this sat unfinished for about 7 years. After an involved first attempt with low-relief carvings of scaffolding layers on wood covers that were deep enough for the gauging but too thick for the binding its potential baffled the binder: thanks to Barbara’s kaleidoscopic talent with words the number of design venues to explore was vast. Not to mention the weight of my own deflation. Little did I realize how ambitious that first attempt had been. It might photograph well but oh it functions poorly. Under deadline-pressure I even went ahead and submitted it out to be handled. Oh the shame. <br />Trusting the process kernel originally glimpsed however I embraced as propelling force a writing technique known as “hasta pronto adelante“: forward forging ahead from wherever the work is at – a mindset that shares an essence with the poetic constraints of the work. Binding-wise I was in for a trial-and-error loop but at least this time I kind of knew it. Such kindness to myself totally shared a vibe with Barbara’s forbearance: she never once asked me what was going on. <br />Forever forward moving the initial scaffolding dimensional backdrop made its way to the foreground with the recourse of graffiti rubbings: reminiscences of the tactile response one gets from handling inky newspapers the original substratum for the poems. <br />The back covers offer a contrast with this rough reality through the sensuality of leatherwork – alum goat hand-dyed to match Barbara’s color motif – bringing the harsh graffiti input to an immediate association with skins: layered experience in tandem with the poems essence." artist statement hardcover books

1981140947862Los Angeles: Camp of the Lost and Found Sheep of the House of Israel 1981. Single 8.5" x 11" sheet printed on rectos only. Good only very fragile loss along edges closed tears the largest being from the top edge right side creased stained tape on verso. <p>An extremely scarce flyer promoting a protest by an obscure likely Black Israelite group about which very little info could be found in L.A.'s Exposition Park in response to a string of around 28 murders possibly more in the Atlanta Georgia area from July 1979 to May 1981. They were collectively known as The Atlanta Child Murders even though some of the victims were adults. 23 year-old Black Atlanta native Wayne Williams would be publicly blamed for the murders but not ever formally charged with any of them; he likely was responsible for some murders but quite likely not all. Many in the Black community of Atlanta had strong suspicions at the time that white supremacists might be responsible for the crimes with a few pieces of circumstantial evidence corroborating that idea. In March 2019 Atlanta's mayor had the local police reopen the case although little has been publicly revealed since then. <p>The Atlanta Child Murders proved to be a galvanizing moment for African Americans around the country but especially in Atlanta where they informed the nascent hip-hop scene that would flower a little more than a decade later. They are little-documented in print and in pop culture making this odd ephemeral item a rather remarkable survival. Camp of the Lost and Found Sheep of the House of Israel unknown

1947223Lancaster: American Physical Society 1947. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION FIRST ISSUE IN ORIGINAL WRAPS of the paper in which Lamb announced the fine structure of the hydrogen atom discovered the discrepancy in electromagnetic theory called the Lamb Shift and began the revolution that led to Quantum Electrodynamics QED. <br /> <br /> QED basically describes how light and matter interact addressing it as a small difference between energy levels of two orbitals of the hydrogen atom that was unexplained and at odds with prevailing electromagnetic theory then Dirac's quantum theory of the electron. Lamb explains "electromagnetic attraction and repulsion. in terms of the exchange of photons between charged particles" Peacock The Quantum Revolution 100. <br /> <br /> The Lamb Shift then is a small difference between energy levels of two orbitals of the hydrogen atom that was unexplained and at odds with prevailing electromagnetic theory then Dirac's quantum theory of the electron. This small difference caused by the interaction between the electron and the vacuum became the impetus for the development of QED. QED sometimes said to be the most accurate physical theory ever written became the model for quantum field theories that would be developed in the future" ibid. Able to mathematically describe all phenomena involving electrically charged particles interacting by means of exchange of photons QED can make extremely accurate predictions. Richard Feynman has called it "the jewel of physics" for this reason. <br /> <br /> In 1955 Lamb was awarded the Noble Prize along with P. Kusch whose paper is also included here "for his discoveries concerning the fine structure of the hydrogen spectrum" Noble Prize Committee. CONDITION & DETAILS: Volume 72 Number 3. Original Wraps 4to 10.5 x 8 inches; 263 x 200mm. Meticulously rebacked at the spine to match the green of the wraps. The wraps are in near fine condition as is the interior.
