Nobel Laureate Martin Karplus was eight when his family fled Nazi-occupied Austria via Switzerland and France for the United States. He would later credit his life as a refugee as a decisive influence on his world view and approach to science.Spinach on the Ceiling is an autobiographical telling of Karplus' life story, and how it led him to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2013. The book captures pivotal moments in Martin's life - from his escape to Switzerland in 1938 shortly after Hitler's entrance into Austria; to memorable moments like when his parents gave him a microscope which opened his eyes to the wonders of science; to his education in New England and California; and his eventual scientific career which took him to England, Illinois, Columbia, Strasbourg, and Harvard. It relates how Martin's optimistic outlook and belief in his vision made it possible for him to overcome setbacks in his life, and turn a subject of study his colleagues considered a waste of time into a central part of chemistry and structural biology. It is his hope to inspire and aid young readers, in particular, to have a successful trajectory in their own lives. Although research and teaching have been his primary focus, he has traveled the world photographing people and places with a Leica IIIC and has had numerous exhibitions of the photographs. He has also enjoyed a lifelong interest in cooking and worked in some of the best restaurants in France and Spain., 6, London: Ilife and Sons, (1939).. leather_bound.

Good.General Dynamics Electric Boat Company was founded as the Electric Boat Company in 1899 and supplied 74 submarines and 398 PT Boats for the navy during the Second World War.The photojournalist, Thomas D. McAvoy (1905-1966) was one of the first photographers to use a Leica for news coverage. He is well known for chronicling the Presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Together with Margaret Bourke-White, Peter Stackpole and Alfred Eisenstaedt, he was one of the first photographers to work for Life Magazine., Groton, Connecticut: [Life Photo, August 12], [1940]., 2.5, [=Money or Life].

From Boo-Hooray: 'Carl Johan De Geer, born in 1938, grew up in absurd privilege and abject unhappiness as a member of one of Swedens most powerful aristocrat families, his parents showed no discernable interest in him or his siblings. He grew up on a grand country estate with his grandparents, went to art school in the late 1950s, and in an epic choice of rejection lived his life to this day as a perennial Swedish underground artist, working in counterpoint to the privilege of his surname, and simultaneously getting noticed by the societal and cultural elites (who sometimes overlap) in that duck-pond of a nation due to that very same last name. Carl Johan De Geer, as a masterful Leica M4 snapshot giant à la Van Der Elsken or Moriyama, had the sacred ability to capture the monotone grit of everyday life and demand its reflection. The crumbling façades and interiors of buildings moments before demolition provided a backdrop to a culture where sixties- Stockholm-bohemians were making love and raising families, paying rock bottom month-by-month rent. De Geer gives us a glimpse of a Sweden inhabited by people who are the other, whose life experience is impregnated with otherness, providing a visual cue into an unseen world, alas the wonder of great documentary photography. The visible scratches, fades and imperfections, the wabi-sabi of this collection of vintage prints, is reflected in the images. Throughout his life, De Geer developed a polyglot canon that exhibited a multitude of disciplines, all of which he seemed master, avoiding the all too common problem of dilettantism. De Geers rarified work as a textile designer from the 60s until today, provided a bright and cozy decorative through-line in the often nomadic life of countercultural living arrangements. The intricate and playful designs, combined with vivid coloration, betray another medium where the artist is fluent. Among other occupations, De Geer is a skilled painter, silk-screen artist, novelist, filmmaker, and a producer of documentary material. As an auteur of Swedish independent cinema, the mass of his feature-length and short films, produced with his late partner Hakan Alexandersson, were a unique coagulation of high and low culture. This strange concoction of influences, ranging from Freud to Mickey Spillane, culminated in the bizarre and erudite childrens television program: Tartan (The Cake). At the time loved by children and scorned by critics and pedagogues, it is today hailed as a masterpiece of absurdist media. The feature-length films, often with a gothic horror slant, rival Terry Gilliam for the fine-tuned execution of both physical and inner dirtiness, and of course for a hundredth of a Hollywood production budget....'    , 0, Santa Fe, New Mexico: Radius Books, 2009.

Without DJ, as issued. Presents Alex Webb's and Rebecca Norris Webb's "Violet Isle: A Duet of Photographs From Cuba". Shimmering, evocative photographs of the fabled island. Violet Isle is the little-known nickname for Cuba, "inspired by its richly colored soil, one of the many qualities that make the country so seductive to photographers. Offers an engaging, at times unsettling, document of a country that for the past 50 years, has remained in an economic, political, cultural, and ecological bubble, isolated from the rest of the world (though it is unlikely to stay that way any longer) . A collaboration between Magnum photographer Alex Webb, who captures Cuba's street life with his trademark attention to detail and color, and Rebecca Norris Webb, who focusses on the unique, quixotic collection of animals she found there. An insightful blend of two different photographic aesthetics" (Publisher's blurb) . As a serious photographer who works in color, Alex Webb has few peers. His unerring eye for color, compositional brilliance, and admirable composure in the face of his often harrowing subject, the entropic chaos called modern life, are regarded by many commentators and admirers as being on the same level of achievement as Miguel Rio Branco, one of the greatest Latin-American photographers of our time. An absolute "must-have" title for Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Slipcased Edition. It is very prominently and beautifully signed in black ink-pen on the title page by Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page.

History of the German Leica camera company. Published on its 99th year, Leica seems to have more than a close connection with the number 9. On 09/09/09 there were 9 products shown and released to the public, which was a significant milestone in the development of Leica on the path towards success. Especially with the introduction of the Leica M9, one of the products introduced on this date and another nod to the number 9. Part history lesson, part compilation of personal anecdotes, part pop culture retrospective, Ninety Nine Years Leica, ushers readers into an undiscovered Leica Universe. A unique, fun and enlightening combination of compelling images and expressive texts tells the story behind a brand well on the way to becoming a living legend. Throughout the book, it becomes evident that not only has Leica played an active role in the world's celebrations, sadness, relief and hope but also in the lives of its camera owners. The result of a close collaboration between Leica and the multiple-award-winning publisher 99pages - under the creative direction of Ansgar Pudenz, Rainer Schillings and Till Schaffarczyk - Ninety Nine Years Leica takes readers on a trail of photographic discovery blazed by legendary Leica photographers such as Henri Cartier Bresson, Robert Capa and Elliott Erwitt. Ninety Nine Years Leica debuted at the photokina 2012 trade show to rave reviews. In North America, fewer than 1,500 English copies of this special edition were printed and made available exclusively through the Leica Stores, Boutiques and Dealers. I do not know how many German copies were printed, but, as a promotional, I would estimate 1,000 copies, and certainly very few that have been preserved as new.

While the magazine began with a 50 copy, hand stapled run in late 1999, those first copies look more sophisticated than most other zines you might have considered in the same category. The covers were silk-screened on corrugated cardboard and the docutek used to replicate the black & white art in the magazine rivaled the performance of most offset printers. It had a great homemade feel that was bona fide quality. Excellence in production is still of primary importance to Arkitip today. Artists contributing to the magazine respect this, as they know their art will not be compromised in any way. Today, Arkitip is a hand numbered 4/color art book. The fact that the magazine publishes site specific work at a lower price point than what hangs on gallery walls makes it available to art collectors of all economic levels. Each issue is like an original piece of art in and of itself. The magazines founding principles remain as they were when we began:- Support the arts- Promote freedom of expression- Make art affordable and accessibleArkitip Magazine serves these principles every day by its very existence. What began as a creative project between friends has become a full fledged business and a worldwide source for groundbreaking art and design today.5 Things you might not know about Arkitip:Site specific artwork:Arkitip delivers original, site specific artwork in every issue. The assignment for the artists who contribute is to create something original to run in the magazine. Artists have the opportunity to design and layout the art they contribute as well. Making a contribution to Arkitip is like creating your own installation that is then distributed around the world. Its like a traveling exhibition that you can take home.We put it out there:Supporting freedom of expression has never been an easy thing, but the magazine has successfully published the art of many controversial artists. Some of these artists have contributed work that had never been published before (or since), because it was considered too controversial. Using the magazine as a medium, Arkitip provides artists with a platform for open expression. We believe this helps keep the true spirit of art alive.No compromise:Arkitip is a completely home grown, self-supporting operation. We have complete control over all aspects of the magazines content, design, manufacturing, marketing and distribution. This gives us the freedom to feature any type of art we think is relevant because no one is attempting to assert his or her influence. Maintaining autonomy is crucial to Arkitip, as it allows us to create a completely unique and distinctive product.No art snobs:Arkitip accepts artwork from professionals and amateurs, so you dont have to have an MFA to contribute. The only requirement is that we like the project. Our taste is not the same as the mainstream art establishment, so anyone is eligible. We have literally hundreds of submissions each month so not everyone makes the cut but if you think you have an original project, wed love to hear about it. The magazine strikes a balance between unknown artists and well-known artists alike.The future:The evolution of Arkitip is vital to its success. We are constantly thinking and re-thinking the role of creativity in our lives and the magazine is currently exploring new avenues to document this. Stay tuned for more features in the magazine that document the artistic process.» 010, Hollywood, Arkitip, o. J. [ca. 2005], 0, Tokyo, Japan: Bunka-Sha, Inc, 1946. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. Fair. Ihei Kimura (Photographer) [Identified in Maggs B. Unpaginated (approximately 70 pages). Format is approximately 10.25 inches by 7.25 inches. Black and White Illustrations. Cover has wear and soiling. Most of the text is in Japanese, but there is some English language narrative and photo captions. This is a photoessay on the immediate post-surrender situation in Tokyo and the initial recovery signs. During the war Kimura worked as photographic editor of magazine 'Front' which quickly renamed itself 'Company of Culture (Bunka-sha)' after the surrender. The present was it's first publication. The 'forward' is rich in metaphor: "The cause of the disease was deeper than expected and had laid hidden within the body for a long time. It was clear to anyone that this necessitated a big surgical operation. And then in the summer of 1945, a surgical operation of great proportion was effected in the presence of many witnesses... Tokyo today is still convalescent. She is still far from being called a metropolis, but has taken her first unsteady step after having undergone treatments such as continuous injections and blood tranfusions. The scars of her surgical operation is still fresh...". Black markets, GIs & Jeeps, queues, returning soldiers, cereals being grown at Nihonbashi, and scars everywhere... this is a superb document from beginning to end. Ihei Kimura (12 December 1901 - 31 May 1974) was one of the most celebrated Japanese photographers of the twentieth century, particularly known for his portrayal of Tokyo and Akita Prefecture. Born on 12 December 1901 in Shitaya-ku (now Tait -ku), Tokyo, Kimura started taking photographs when very young but his interest intensified when he was around 20 and living in Tainan, Taiwan, where he was working for a sugar wholesaler. He opened a photographic studio in Nippori, Tokyo in 1924. In 1930, he joined the advertising section of the soap and cosmetics company Ka , concentrating on informal photographs made with his Leica camera. In 1933, he joined Y nosuke Natori and others in forming the group Nippon K b ("Japan workshop"), which emphasized "realism" in photography using 35mm cameras; but this rapidly broke up and Kimura formed an alternative group, Ch K b ("central workshop") with Nobuo Ina and others. During the war, Kimura worked in Manchuria and for the publisher T h -sha. In 1950, Kimura was elected chairman of the newly formed Japan Professional Photographers Society (JPS); together with Ken Domon he did much to encourage a documentary spirit in amateur photography. In the mid-fifties, Kimura made several trips to Europe, providing photographs for the camera magazines. His work was included by Edward Steichen in the world-touring 1955 MoMA exhibition The Family of Man. Pari, a collection of his color photographs of Paris, would only be published in 1974, but the use of color was ahead of its time. On his return to Japan, Kimura concentrated on photographing rural life in Akita. He also worked on portraits, particularly of writers. Kimura died at his home in Nippori on 31 May 1974; the Kimura Ihei Award for new photographers was promptly set up in his honor. His work was exhibited at the Rencontres d'Arles festival in 2004., Bunka-Sha, Inc, 1946, 2, Boston: New York Graphic Society. Good in Good dust jacket. 1979. First U.S. Edition. Hardcover. 0821207563 . "Working with his portable and discreet Leica - the metal covered with black tape to hide the shine - Cartier-Bresson has roamed the streets and backroads of the world seeking that decisive moment when meaning and composition unite to make an image at once significant and beautiful. This book is the crowning publication in a great career, a summation of his lifework. It is the only major book now available on this preeminent and influential figure, and it does full justice to the original photographs, through the finest quality double impression offset printing and the large-scale, one-to-a-page presentation. The photographer selected the images included, which date from 1929 to 1979; it is an extraordinary body of work." - dust jacket. 155 duotone illustrations on glossy stock.
