Description
1991. 12 ½" x 12 ½". Signed and inscribed by Nirvana Art Director Robert Fisher in silver marker on the rear of the album. About fine, with corners very lightly nicked and a touch of creasing to right edge of rear of album. Overall, a very unique piece of Nirvana memorabilia. This copy of the "Nevermind" record album is inscribed by the band's art director, Robert Fisher, who oversaw the art and design for all of Nirvana's Geffen releases, including "Nevermind," "Incesticide," "In Utero," and "MTV Unplugged in New York." In his inscription, he tells the origin of the iconic "Nevermind" album cover in his own words - how Cobain wanted the cover to be a picture of a baby being born underwater, and, from that starting point, the band and Fisher collaboratively came up with the image of a baby underwater looking at a dollar bill on a hook. Fisher is careful in his inscription to note his own contributions to the final image - for example, mentioning that it was he who found a photo of a baby in a pool that the band loved and based the final image on - which is particularly interesting given the recent legal battles that have come about involving Fisher and his role both in the creation of the cover of the "Nevermind" album and the iconic Nirvana smiley face logo. Inscription: "I was working at Geffen and heard / they were to sign Nirvana. Being / a fan I asked to work on it. No / one had any idea how big they would / become. Kurt and Dave wanted a photo / of a baby being born in water. I / found a phot [sic] of a baby in a pool / that they loved. We then hired Kirk Weddle to / shoot a similar photo. I said it needed more and / Kurt jokingly said lets [sic] add a fish hook. We spent / hours thinking of things we could put on the hook / until someone said a dollar bill. It was perfect!" .

Description
London: Macmillan and Co., 1912 First edition, first printing. Publisher's green cloth, with front board and spine lettered and decorated in gilt, and two pages of ads for The Charwoman's Daughter to rear. About fine, with upper corner of front board lightly bumped, and a touch of soiling to front board and along rear spine edge. Overall, a bright and attractive copy. Housed in a custom blue half morocco slipcase (some flaking to spine labels) and chemise. The Crock of Gold is a Celtic fantasy novel that established Stephens' reputation as an esteemed Irish author. The text is divided into six sections: Book I "The Coming of Pan," Book II "The Philosophers Journey," Book III "The Two Gods," Book IV "The Philosopher's Return," Book V "The Policemen," and Book VI "The Thin Woman's Journey and the Happy March." The nonsensical plot tells the story of a lone philosopher who seeks to save the farmer's daughter Caitlin Ni Murrachu, who has been seduced by the Greek god Pan. Throughout the novel, Stephens blends his original tale with traditional figures from Irish folklore, including leprechauns, their pots of gold, and the Celtic god of love Aengus Óg, among others.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine.

Description
New York: Oxford University Press, 2001. Hardcover. Good +. Hardcover. 11 1/4" X 8 3/4". xi, 542pp. Mild rubbing and shelf wear to covers, corners, and edges of paper over boards. Gentle bumps to head and tail of spine. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: There exists a wealth of information about the development of the spinal cord in journal articles and monographs, yet this beautifully illustrated work is the first book devoted to this important topic. Because the developing human spinal cord cannot be subjected to experimental manipulations, the knowledge gained from experimental work in animals is applied here to an interpretation of the time course and mechanisms of spinal cord development in man. The book begins with a review of our current understanding of the structure and functions of the spinal cord. Special reference is made to the phylogeny of the vertebrate spinal cord because the authors' interpretation of the development and organization of the human spinal cord is specifically an evolutionary one. Following a detailed experiment-based account of spinal cord development in the rat, the development of the human spinal cord is described, illustrated and interpreted in separate chapters during three epochs: the first trimester (the embryonic period), the second and third trimesters (the fetal period), and the first year of postnatal life. Special attention is paid to such topics as neurons, and the growth and myelination of the ascending and descending fiber tracts of the spinal cord. The book ends with a correlation of the development of motor behavior with different stages in the morphological development of the human spinal cord during the embryonic, fetal, and postnatal periods. The successive acquisition of voluntary control over different parts of the body during infancy is correlated with the progressive myelination of the corticospinal tract. * The book contains an extensive review of work on spinal cord organization and development throughout the 20th century. * The interpretations are based on experimental studies of spinal cord development in the rat carried out by the authors and their associates. * The histological material on human spinal cord development is the largest ever assembled and reproduced (combining the Carnegie, Minot, and Yakovlev Collections). * The collected material (which varies in quality and some of it has begun to fade) has been digitized and electronically reprocessed for improved reproduction. * Discrete components of the spinal cord and new developments are highlighted by color coding; typically on one side only, leaving the contralateral side untouched to allow the reader to use his own interpretation. * Summary graphs are presented, many in color, to convey important structural relationships, developmental events, or theories. * The authors revive a few forgotten theories and offer several new ones regarding the development and organization of the human spinal cord. Development of the Human Spinal Cord will be of interest to developmental biologists, neuroscientists, embryologists, molecular biologists (those working on stem cell research), pediatric neurologists, pathologists, child and developmental psychologists, and their students and trainees.(Publisher).
