Title: Photographische Fixirung der durch Projektile in der Luft eingeleiteten Vorgange
Author: Mach & Salcher
Seller: Jeremy Norman & Co., Inc. (United States)
Description: 1887. First Photograph of a Supersonic Object and the Mach Number Mach, Ernst (1838-1916) & Salcher, P. Photographische Fixirung der durch Projectile in der Luft eingeleiteten Vorgange. In Sitzungsber. k. Akad. Wiss., math.-naturwiss. Classe, 95 (1887): 764-80. Plate, text illustrations. Whole number, 8vo. viii, [2], 761-1119pp. 2 fold. plates (in addition to Mach plate), text illustrations. 248 x 160 mm. (uncut & unopened). Original printed wrappers, slight dust-soiling & chipping. Light foxing, otherwise fine. Boxed. First Edition. Mach's classic paper contains the first photograph of a shock wave in front of an object (in this case a bullet) moving at supersonic speed, and the first mathematical formula describing the physics of this wave. "The angle a, which the shock wave surrounding the envelope of an advancing gas cone makes with the direction of its motion, was shown to be related to the velocity of sound n and the velocity of the projectile w as sina = n/w when w > n. After 1907, following the work of Ludwig Prandtl at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institut fur Stromungsforschung in Gottingen, the angle a was called the Mach angle. Recognizing that the value of w/n (the ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound in the undisturbed medium in which the object is traveling) was becoming increasingly significant in aerodynamics for high-speed projectile studies, J. Ackeret in his inaugural lecture in 1929 as Privatdozent at the Eidgenossischen Technische Hochschule, Zurich, suggested the term 'Mach number' for this ratio. The Mach number was introduced into the literature in English by the late 1930s and since the end of World War II has taken on considerable importance in theoretical and fluid dynamics" (DSB).

Title: The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman Three Volumes
Author: [Arion Press] Sterne, Laurence; Melvyn New, essay; John Baldessari, illustrations
Seller: The Kelmscott Bookshop (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: San Francisco: Arion Press, 1988. Hardcover. Near Fine. Hardcover. One of four hundred copies. This is an adventuresome and inventive offering by the famed Arion Press. It is the 26th publication of the Press and is presented to the reader in three volumes. The first volume contains the complete text of the novel. The second volume is an essay of 42 pages by Sterne scholar Dr. Melvyn New of the University of Florida. Dr. New discusses Sterne's life and elucidates the complexities of Tristram Shandy for the first-time readers as well for those familiar with the book. The third volume is bound as an accordion fold and contains 39 photo-collages by the artist John Baldessari and each copy is signed by him. Baldessari (1931-2020) was an American conceptual artist known for his work featuring found photography and appropriated images. Initially a painter, Baldessari began to incorporate texts and photography into his canvases in the mid-1960s. In 1970 he began working in printmaking, film, video, installation, sculpture and photography.e created thousands of works which demonstrate-and, in many cases, combine-the narrative potential of images and the associative power of language within the boundaries of the work of art. [Wikipedia] Volume I with the text is bound with threee quarter green leather with green and white marbled paper boards. The paper was marbled by hand by Eileen Canning of Dancing Inks in Olympia, Washington, who used a style reminiscent of the marbling done for the first edition in 1760 - 1767. Printed on all-cotton Curtis Ruysdael paper using Caslon Old Style type for the text. It is 620 pages. The second and third volumes are bound in green Curtis Brightwater Cover. All three volumes are unified by a 6.75 x 10.25 inches format and are contained in a single slipcase covered in green cloth with gilt titling to spine. Near fine with wear and sunning to the spine of Volume I. The two other volumes are in fine condition. Slipcase is fine overall with light sunning to spine. Accompanied by the prospectus. A stunning achievement by the Arion Press. PRI/100424.

Title: Pair of Portfolios Showing the Fine Furniture of the Henry McCleary Residence, Olympia, Washington, 1920s
Author: [Architecture - Washington State] [Furniture] Henry McCleary Residence, Olympia Washington; Bradford, E.R.; Munago Company
Seller: Auger Down Books (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: Olympia, 1925. . Limp pebbled calf portfolios measuring 12 ½ x 10 ½ inches, with 106 illustrations, nearly all photographic, of furniture. Interior fine, some wear to portfolios, overall quite well preserved. Near Fine. The Henry McCleary residence in Olympia was built in 1923, sparing no expense. The mansion still stands today on 21st Ave. and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. McLeary, a timber baron and president of the Henry McCleary Timber Company, also spared no expense in his furniture choices for his new residence, as this pair of portfolios by the decorator E.R. Bradford shows. With furniture proposals for each room of the new house, the portfolios showcase in great detail the fine furniture of the era. Some of the companies represented are the Munago and Tobey companies of Chicago, both of which have letters sent to McCleary included in the group. McCleary married Mrs. Hildur D. Simons during this period, an event that was covered locally and in lumber trade journals. Overall the group provides a photographic record of fine furniture of the 1920s, with McCleary’s taste for timber perhaps coming across in the fine Midwestern furniture he chose to furnish his new residence. We find no record of the decorator, an E.R. Bradford, who was responsible for assembling the albums.

Title: WWII Era Women's Industrial Factory Labor in Rubber Parts Molding, Large Format Photo Archive, 1940s
Author: Women's Factory Labor
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1940. Women's wartime factory labor photo archive depicting rubber molding, inspection, precision trimming, packing, and bench production in the United States during the World War II era. More than six million women took wartime jobs in American factories, and wartime labor needs moved women into industrial work involving machinery, inspection, aircraft parts, laboratory work, and other production roles previously coded as male labor. The captioned Parker views place women inside a rubber parts operation where quality control, hand finishing, and distribution preparation were treated as essential production work. The archive records the practical shop-floor labor behind the larger wartime shift: long tables, stools, bins, boxed parts, inspection lamps, trimming tools, and women working in sequence across a factory interior. Photo archive of 4 large silver gelatin photographs, each measuring 8" x 10.75", United States, circa 1940s. One caption reads "View of inspection of Parker-molded rubber parts," with women seated along a long worktable examining parts before distribution. Another caption reads "Operators with equipment for precision-trimming of mold rubber parts," showing women working at a row of bench stations with overhead cords, boxes, and factory equipment. Additional scenes show women packing, sorting, and assembling small molded components at long tables surrounded by stacked cartons, metal containers, industrial windows, and production shelving. During and after World War II, women's factory labor did not simply fill temporary vacancies; it proved women could perform skilled industrial tasks in defense-related production, even as many employers pushed women out of those jobs when men returned from military service. Light handling wear, corner wear, minor creasing, and curling; photos generally clean and clear and captions remain legible on two mounts. Overall in very good condition. This archive shows the wartime demand for women's labor in order to keep American production moving during the war.

Title: Science Fiction Zine Culture at MIT During the Late New Wave Era, 1974 to 1980
Author: Twilight Zine
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1974. MIT Science Fiction Society, Twilight Zine archive, 1974 to 1980, documents collegiate science fiction culture at MIT during the late New Wave and early post-New Wave period, supporting research into fan publishing, student literary production, Cold War technological imagination, speculative criticism, and the social life of science fiction within technical universities. Founded in 1949, the MIT Science Fiction Society developed into a major student-run science fiction organization with a large open-shelf collection, making these zines part of a longer campus history in which reading, reviewing, parody, collecting, and society ritual shaped science fiction as both a literary field and a communal practice. The issues bring together criticism, original fiction, comics, humor, meeting records, convention reporting, and institutional satire, illustrating how MIT students used speculative fiction to test ideas about science, technology, fantasy, media, and social organization during a period when the genre was closely tied to computing, aerospace, space exploration, and Cold War futurity. Twilight Zine. Cambridge, MA: MIT Science Fiction Society, 1974 to 1980. Three issues. Archive of three side-stapled issues in pictorial wrappers, mimeographed or photocopied from typescript, with illustrations, comics, reviews, fiction, editorial matter, and society documentation. The set includes issue No. 28 from 1974, issue No. 30 from 1979, and issue No. 32 from 1980. Contributors include Jack Stevens, Michael T. Timmreck, Ala Lapu Mimm, Guy Consolmagno, Irwin T. Lapeer, Jonathan Fox, Roger Silverstein, Chip Hitchcock, Jon Inouye, Gary Goldberg, Jordin Kare, Cheryl Wheeler, Diana Worthy, and Joseph Romm. Several contributors later became associated with scientific or public intellectual work: Guy Consolmagno became Director of the Vatican Observatory, Jordin Kare became a physicist and aerospace engineer known for laser propulsion research, and Joseph Romm became a climate and energy authMass Media & Popular Cultureor with a Ph.D. in physics from MIT. MIT Science Fiction Society. Twilight Zine. No. 28. Cambridge, MA: MIT Science Fiction Society, 1974. Contents include editorial essays by Jack Stevens, Michael T. Timmreck, and Ala Lapu Mimm; Guy Consolmagno's report on Torcon 2; Irwin T. Lapeer's "Charley Tool and the Intertemporal Psi Spies"; Jonathan Fox's "Horror in the Cinema"; a parody section titled "Graphomics"; and illustrated contributions by Bjo, P. Pineda, and Mike Symes. The issue shows the zine's combination of fan criticism, convention culture, literary play, genre parody, and visual humor. [2] MIT Science Fiction Society. Twilight Zine. No. 30. Cambridge, MA: MIT Science Fiction Society, 1979. Includes reviews of The Sword of Shannara, The Shockwave Rider, and The Stone That Never Came Down, with commentary by Roger Silverstein and Chip Hitchcock, as well as original fiction by Jon Inouye, Gary Goldberg, and Jordin Kare. An editorial note attributes publication delay to a "conspiracy against the editor," while acknowledgment of support from the MIT Graduate Student Council places the zine within both informal fandom and recognized student institutional life. [3] Wheeler, Cheryl, ed. Twilight Zine. No. 32. Cambridge, MA: MIT Science Fiction Society, 1980. Edited by Cheryl Wheeler, with art direction and typesetting by Chip Hitchcock and Guy Consolmagno, and featuring Irwin T. Lapeer's "The Heroes," Diana Worthy's "Little Known Families of the Shire," Joseph Romm's "Clonemaker," reviews, and recorded minutes from MIT Science Fiction Society meetings. The issue is especially useful for documenting how fan writing, literary criticism, Tolkien-inflected parody, science-oriented fiction, design labor, and organizational recordkeeping coexisted in a student science fiction community. Minor age toning and staple oxidation throughout; interiors clean and legible, very good overall. Focused run of MIT student science fiction zines showing how 1970s campus fandom connected literary experimentation, technological imagination, humor, and community documentation within one of the most prominent university science fiction societies in the United States.

Title: [Flyer and T-Shirt For Lavender World's Fair]
Seller: Langdon Manor Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: [Los Angeles]: [Lavender World Productions], 1976. Very good. 11" x 8 ½". Broadside printed one side + Fruit of the Loom T-shirt printed both sides. Flyer very good with waviness at bottom; T-shirt very good plus or better. This is a flyer and t-shirt for a reasonably early LGBTQ+ festival that failed spectacularly. The 1st Annual Lavender World's Fair was held April 17th and 18th, 1976 at the L.A. County Fairgrounds at Pomona. It was promoted by Lavender World Productions ("LWP"), an entity which surreptitiously booked the event and disconnected its phone number the day after the fair concluded. Around three months prior to the festival, LWP booked the fairgrounds for Easter weekend for an event it called, "Picnic in the Park." The fairgrounds learned LWP's real plans when a Los Angeles ticket agency reached out asking to confirm that the "Gay World's Fair" would be held there on the specified dates. LWP then admitted the truth to the fairgrounds. In the leadup to the fair, LWP estimated an attendance of 50,000. The flyer offered here touted it as the "world's largest outdoor disco laser light show extravaganza," as well as a "spectacular grandstand concert." A spokesman for LWP also said, "the first annual Lavender World's Fair could well turn out to be a gay Woodstock," as he rattled off headliners for performances which included the Pointer Sisters, Iron Butterfly and Wolfman Jack. They also had to change the name of the event as "Gay World's Fair" was owned by someone else. Fair officials wanted to cancel the contract, but they listened to their lawyers who said they could not. Contemporary newspaper reports show that anti-gay activist Ray Batema and his Central Baptist Church of Pomona led a protest to stop the event from happening. They claimed to have 4,000 signatures on petitions, failed to prevent the festival from taking place, and apparently only a handful showed up to protest. These huge promises were met with little follow through, as LWP allegedly ran out of money. The headliners didn't show because they had not been paid and the heavily promoted sunrise Easter service was canceled. Estimates of attendees on the first day ranged from five to ten thousand, with reports of the second stating only a few hundred showed. In the days after the fair, hundreds sought refunds for their tickets, only to learn that LWP had disappeared. Not in OCLC. This item is offered by Langdon Manor Books, LLC, antiquarian booksellers.

Title: The diabetic problem of today, TOGETHER WITH Hyperinsulinism and dysinsulinism by Seale Harris, and "Optimal" diets for diabetic patients by Russell M. Wilder
Author: Joslin, Elliott P.
Seller: Biomed Rare Books LLC, ABAA, ILAB (United States)
Description: Chicago: American Medical Association, 1924. First edition. 1924 BRIEF REVIEW OF THE TURNING POINT IN DIABETES MANAGEMENT FOLLOWING DISCOVERY OF INSULIN, BY "THE DEAN OF DIABETES," ELLIOTT JOSLIN. 11 inches tall extract from JAMA including 3 papers on diabetes, unmarked and very good. The first by Joslin, who comments on the increasing life span of diabetics, and the increasing incidence of symptoms at later ages: an early recognition of the rise of type 2 diabetes. He comments on the importance of population studies comparing ethnic groups, and warns against assuming racial predispositions. Responding to the first use of insulin in 1922, he concludes that "insulin is better than any of us thought a year ago." He reports on status of his first 127 patients treated with insulin less than 2 years after its discovery. The patients received insulin an average of 18 months, and all for more than one year. 23 patients died, but "not one of the patients who died succumbed during the first year of the disease. ... Coincident with the increasing use of insulin, the death rate from diabetes has been declining for a year and half. There is no proof as yet that these two phenomena are connected. ... It was also shown by this study that insulin was much more commonly used in hospitalized cases than in the cases treated at home and that it is more extensively used in the larger cities than in rural areas or small towns." ELLIOTT PROCTER JOSLIN, M.D. (1869 - 1962) was the first doctor in the United States to specialize in diabetes and was the founder of today's Joslin Diabetes Center. Dr. Joslin was involved for seven decades in most every aspect of diabetes investigation and treatment, save for the fact that he did not discover insulin. Following the Toronto group's blockbuster discovery of insulin in 1921, and the group's disbanding several years later, Joslin became effectively the Dean of diabetes mellitus. In the mid 1920s, Joslin, in his mid 50s, took the reins as the world spokesman for the "cause of diabetes." He was the first to advocate for teaching patients to care for their own diabetes, an approach now commonly referred to as "DSME" or Diabetes Self-Management Education. He is also a recognized pioneer in glucose management, identifying that tight glucose control leads to fewer and less extreme complications. From the beginning of his medical practice he kept a diabetes registry, the first of its kind in the world. His carefully assembled data from his medical ledgers eventually allowed him to predict a global diabetes epidemic that is evident today. In 1908, in conjunction with physiologist Francis G. Benedict, Joslin carried out extensive metabolic balance studies examining fasting and feeding in patients with varying severities of diabetes. Joslin included the findings from 1,000 of his own cases in his 1916 monograph The Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus, the first textbook on diabetes in the English language. Here he noted a 20 percent decrease in the mortality of patients after instituting a program of diet and exercise. This physician's handbook had 10 more editions in his lifetime and established Joslin as a world leader in diabetes. When insulin became available as therapy in 1922, Joslin's corps of nurses became the forerunners of certified diabetes educators, providing instruction in diet, exercise, foot care and insulin dosing, and established camps for children with diabetes throughout New England. With insulin available, Joslin enlarged his medical practice into a team that evolved into the Joslin Clinic that was affiliated with the New England Deaconess Hospital and the Harvard Medical School. Joslin was adamant in his position that good glucose control, achieved through a restricted carbohydrate diet, exercise, and frequent testing and insulin adjustment, would prevent complications. This was debated for decades by other endocrinologists and scientists, and the American Diabetes Association was divided on this subject from its inception. Joslin's approach wasn't validated until 30 years after his death, when in 1993, a 10-year study, the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial Report was published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
