Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Published in conjunction with the 1994 Minneapolis Institute of Arts exhibition Otsu-e: Japanese Folk Paintings from the Harriet and Edson Spencer Collection, this beautifully produced softcover catalog remains one of the most informative English-language r…esources on Otsu-e - the lively popular paintings once sold as traveler's souvenirs along the T?kaid? road in the Edo period (1600-1868). Essays provide a clear historical overview, explore characteristic themes and motifs, and situate these playful, sometimes satirical images within broader Japanese folk and woodblock traditions. High-quality photographic plates and detailed object entries offer a strong visual and scholarly foundation for students, collectors, and curators. This copy is in Near Fine condition, unusually well-preserved for a museum-issued softcover. The covers remain clean and bright, with only the faintest touches of surface rubbing to the rear green panel and minimal edge wear. Interior pages are crisp, unmarked, and fresh, and the binding is tight with no signs of use beyond very gentle handling. A superior example of a title often found with heavier wear. A first and only edition (1994), the catalog was designed by Ruth Dean and typeset by Patrick Atherton, with photographic contributions by Gary Mortensen and Robert Fogt. It documents key works from the Spencer Collection, including 18th- and 19th-century images of Buddhist figures, demons, legendary characters, humorous genre scenes, and classic motifs such as Daikoku shaving Fukurokuju and symbolic pagoda forms - hallmarks of the Otsu-e tradition. Because the Spencer Collection represents one of the most significant assemblages of Otsu-e in the West, this publication remains a sought-after reference for those studying Japanese folk art, Edo-period visual culture, and the intersection of vernacular creativity with religious, social, and humorous narrative imagery. Matthew Welch is a curator and scholar specializing in Asian art, long affiliated with the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. His publications focus on Japanese painting, decorative arts, and visual culture, emphasizing accessible scholarship supported by close object analysis. Welch's work has helped introduce Otsu-e and other vernacular traditions to a wider international audience. Photography by Gary Mortensen and Robert Fogt (illustrator).

"This stunning two-volume book is the long-awaited catalogue of the exquisite collection of Ch'ing (Qing) dynasty imperial textiles and costumes from… the collection of The Minneapolis Institute of Arts. This collection has a rich history. Approximately half of it belonged to the San Francisco attorney William E. Colby, who had amassed the collection throughout the opportunistic decades of the 1920's and 1930's, and was acquired by The Minneapolis Institute of Arts under the advice of Alfred Pillsbury. Now consisting of over 600 items, it is considered one of the finest and most comprehensive holdings of Ch'ing textiles outside of China."--Publisher's description. VG.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Development and Implications of Antimicrobial Resistance One of the most ominous trends in the field of antimicrobial chemotherapy over the past decade has been the increasing pace of development of antimicrobial resistance among microbial pathogens. The hy…pothesis that man can discover a magic bullet to always cure a particular infection has proved false. Physicians are now seeing and treating patients for which there are few therapeutic alternatives, and in some cases, none at all. Until recently there was little concern that physicians might be losing the war in our ability to compete with the evolving resistance patterns of microbial pathogens. Now the general public is very aware of the threat to them if they become infected, thanks to cover story articles in major magazines such as Time, Newsweek, newspapers, and other news sources. Antimicrobial resistance is not a novel problem. Shortly after the widespread introduction of penicillin in the early 1940s, the first strains of penicillin-resistant staphylococci were described. Today it is an uncommon event for a clinical laboratory to isolate an S. aureus that is sensitive to penicillin. Other gram-positive strains of bacteria have become resistant, including the exquisitely sensitive Streptococcus pneumoniae. Sensitivity to vancomycin was once so uniform that it was used in routine clinical laboratories as a surrogate marker for whether an organism should be classified as a gram-positive. That criterion can no longer be relied upon because of emerging resistance among some species. Gram-negative bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites all have succeeded in developing resistance.
