Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Printed in the U.S.A. Date on the title page. First Printing. Introductory Remarks, Figures, Tables, Notes and References, Name and Subject Indexes; [xiv], 205 pages. The tan cloth is excellent, with corners square and gilt lettering bright on the gently-bumped spine. The interior is pristine: fresh, crisp, and completely clean; endpapers are gray. A lovely copy. The original unclipped pictorial dust jacket has a few spots, but is otherwise crisp and fine. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] "This is a unique work. No other book draws so authoritatively or so broadly from the vast literature in the study of time. The author has published widely in biology, philosophy, and psychology, developing a systematic approach to the general interpretation of time. In this study he handles paradoxes and problems in both physics and philosophy with originality and imagination. The book is beautifully written, sure-footed, and bound to be controversial"---Nathaniel Lawrence. As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.…

Shopbeschreibung

The books listed here are, indeed, from my father's library, representing the depth and varied interests of a modern scholar's mind. Dr. Henry LeRoy Finch, professor emeritus of philosophy and a published author, trained in the classics (graduating top in his class at Yale), and went on to develop an appreciation for modern thinkers. It took over half-a-century to amass this collection of primarily-scholarly books with a broad range of subjects from Philosophy and Religion (with an emphasis on the interrelationships and intricacies of Eastern and Western Thinking) to scientific influences played out over the entire history of humankind, touching necessarily on Art, Anthropology, Archaeology, Literature, History of various Cultures, Psychology, Physics, and Spiritual Thought, including Theosophy and Mysticism. Many are esoteric philosophical works, out-of-print and unavailable elsewhere. A great number cover the interconnections of so many subjects as to defy classification. His was a working library: each volume was read and familiar, its whereabouts on a shelf always known, even when "double-parked." Though many of the books are esoteric, others will appeal to the general reader, often making an abstruse subject more approachable. (There are a hundred books on Einstein alone!) In addition, there are numerous paperbacks--classics, scholarly, first-published editions, several versions of the same book (in different translations), handy for packing along in a back pocket. Each of the volumes from the collection has a bookplate tipped in at the front and may have pencil marginalia--sparse or profuse. I have tried to reflect this in all the listings, but feel free to call and discuss further details of a book's condition. As it will take a long time to write up all the descriptions, some of you may wish to call and ask about a particular book you have been seeking. Meanwhile, I'll try to keep an eye on the "Wants" list. Thank you for visiting this page. I hope my father's books will eventually find happy homes; it was one of his last wishes.…
