VG+/VG+ in cardboard slipcase
Description
London: Royal Academy of Arts, 1993. Hardcover. VG+/VG+ in cardboard slipcase. Color pictorial dustjacket over black cloth. 234 pp., around 200 color plates. From the DJ: "The authors "begin this beautiful book on Pissarro's cityscapes by setting the paintings in their broad, art-historical context, tracing the tradition of the image of the city both within and prior to Impressionism and looking also at contemporary treatments of the urban scene. The authors examine the history of the representation of the city in the literature, poetry and philsophical [sic] writings of the nineteenth century and discuss Pissarro's knowledge of these alternative theories of the city. Using Pissarro's extensive correspondence from this period of his life, they describe the artist's attitudes toward his final works. The books also includes a catalogue of Pissarro's eleven urban series, each one introduced by an overview covering the history of the cityscape pictured and the production, exhibition history, and early critical reception of the series. Full data on each painting follows." Catalogue lists 154 works, selected bibliography. Contents as follows: Camille Pissarro and urban view painting: an introduction / Richard R. Brettell -- Pissarro's series: conception, realisation and interpretation / Joachim Pissarro -- Rouen: three campaigns -- Paris: The Gare Saint-Lazare -- Paris: The Boulevard Montmartre -- Paris: The Avenue de l'Opera -- Paris: The Tuileries Gardens -- Paris: The Square du Vert-Galant -- Paris: The Pont-Neuf -- Paris: Quai Voltaire -- Dieppe: The Church of Saint-Jacques -- Dieppe: The harbours -- Le Havre.

Cold Spring Harbor, NY: Eugenics Record Office, 1912. First edition. FIRST EDITION ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO DATA COLLECTION OF UNDESIRABLE "GENETIC" TRAITS OF AMERICANS. 15 x 23 cm gray paper printed covers, 101 pp. Light soiling of covers, cover corners chipped, embossed library stamp and "withdrawn" handstamp to title page, binding tight, text unmarked. Very good minus in custom archival mylar cover. CONTENTS: I. The Record of Family Traits II. Genealogical Records III. Data Furnished by Biographies IV. The Record of Special Traits V. Records of Recent Immigrants, by Rev. W. E. Davenport. VI. Records of Negro-White Crosses, by Florence H. Danielson VII. Records of the Feeble-minded and Paupers VIII. Records OP Epilepsy IX, Records of the Insane X. Records op the Criminalistic XI. Records of Sex Offense XII. The Study of Human Heredity, by Davenport, Goddard, Johnstone, Laughlin and Weeks. CHARLES B. DAVENPORT (1866-1944) was initially a professor of zoology at Harvard, where he became one of the most prominent American biologists of his time. He had a tremendous respect for the biometric approach to heredity pioneered by English eugenicists Francis Galton and Karl Pearson. In 1904, Davenport became director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. He founded the Eugenics Record Office there in 1910. Davenport's research was guided by the racism and classism of his time, and was particularly interested in race-mixing, which he saw both as a phenomenon that could shed light on the workings of human heredity and as a threat to society. He believed that the biological differences between the races justified a strict immigration policy, and that people of races deemed "undesirable" should not be allowed into the country. EUGENICS RECORD OFFICE located in Cold Spring Harbor, New York, United States, was a research institute that gathered biological and social information about the American population, serving as a center for eugenics and human heredity research from 1910 to 1939. It was established by the Carnegie Institution of Washington (Carnegie Science), Station for Experimental Evolution, and subsequently administered by its Department of Genetics. Both its founder, Charles Benedict Davenport, and its director, Harry H. Laughlin, were major contributors to the field of eugenics in the United States. Its mission was to collect substantial information on the ancestry of the American population, to produce literature fueling the eugenics movement, and to promote the idea of race betterment.

Brockport, New York: Boa Editions, Ltd, 2008. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 6x0x9. First edition. An exceptional copy. 2008 Hard Cover. 120 pp. Born in Syria in 1930, Adonis later moved to Lebanon and became a pivotal figure in the new poetry of the late 1960s. With the publication of Mihyar of Damascus: His Songs in 1963—widely viewed as a watershed moment in Arabic poetry—Adonis forged a new set of possibilities for Arabic poetry, writing in traditional meters but infusing them with modernist rhythms, styles, and conceptual complexities. Translators Adnan Haydar (University of Arkansas in Fayetteville) and Michael Beard (University of North Dakota) co-edit a series of books, Middle East Literature in Translation, for Syracuse University Press.
