Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Printed in the U.S.A. at the Falcon Press. First printing. [Date from the copyright page.] Text replete with photographs and drawings; Notes and Acknowledgments; 203 pages, followed by a page with a note from the editors, and lists of donors, patrons, and sponsors. The dark gray French-fold decorated wraps are in excellent shape; the interior with illustrations on glossy paper is equally fine and completely clean. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] There is a passage quoted from Walter Benjamin as epigraph to the first entry: "The concept of the historical progress of mankind cannot be sundered from the concept of its progression through a homogenous, empty time. A critique of the concept of such a progression must be the basis of any criticism of the concept of progress itself." Contributors: Roland Barthes, David P. Billington, David Bohm, William S. Burroughs, Maria Bottero, Peter Caws, Umberto Eco, Antoni Gaudi, Louis I. Kahn, Claude Levi-Strauss, Robert Maillart, Rowland J. Mainstone, Robert Le Ricolais and Henriette Grindat. References are made to innumerable artists, philosophers, scholars and scientists throughout the ages. 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. Please note there is no extra charge for shipping this special work via domestic book-rate; however, priority costs might have to be increased. …

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.…
