Frong hinge a bit loose else in Very Good condition . Dr. Marshall Webb (1844-1883), author, lecturer, debater, clinician, inventor, and dentist extraordinaire, was a decade ahead of others in putting forth a concept of "extension for prevention." One hundred twenty years ago, he was one of the best known, most advanced, and highly regarded dentists in the world. His pioneering work in cardiology, preventive dentistry, ethics, and prevention of recurrent decay raised the standards of what we call operative or conservative dentistry, but he is almost unknown now. However, his concept of conservative tooth preparation could be applied today.. Book Condition: Very Good Stock number: 16854.

Imprint: Cologne, DuMont Verlag, 2005 Fine as new in like dustjacket. Hardocer catalogue to accompany the exhibit of this famous German actors photographic work at the Pinakothek in Munich. 135 pages. Fully illustrated. Text in German. Dass Bernhard Wicki, gefeierter Schauspieler und berühmter Regisseur, der mit dem Film »Die Brücke« 1959 Weltruhm erlangte, auch fotografierte, ist sogar in Kennerkreisen kaum bekannt. Dieser Band zeigt erstmalig seit 1960 eine beeindruckende Auswahl seiner fotografischen Werke.Als Wicki 1952 die Fotografie für sich entdeckte, war er so fasziniert, dass er sich von seinem Engagement am Münchner Staatsschauspiel freistellen ließ, nach Paris ging und dort »wie ein Besessener« arbeitete. Im Zentrum seines Interesses stand der Mensch, den er auf seinen Streifzügen durch Städte und Länder bei seinen alltäglichen Handlungen beobachtete. Wicki zeichnet so ein eindrückliches Bild von der Zeit nach den katastrophalen Ereignissen des Zweiten Weltkriegs, die geprägt ist von Einsamkeit, jeder Utopie beraubt, und doch zugleich nicht ohne Menschlichkeit und Hoffnung auskommt. Darüber hinaus hat er in sehr intimen Aufnahmen seine Künstlerkollegen porträtiert, so die junge Romy Schneider, Horst Buchholz und Maria Schell, aber auch Schriftsteller wie Friedrich Dürrenmatt und Max Frisch. 1960 werden Wickis Fotografien in einem bibliophilen Band des Züricher Interbook Verlags unter dem Titel »Zwei Gramm Licht« veröffentlicht, versehen mit einem Vorwort von Friedrich Dürrenmatt. 1961 erhält er eine Einzelausstellung in der Galerie Diogenes in Berlin. Doch schon zu diesem Zeitpunkt hatte Wicki die Fotografie aufgegeben und sein fotografisches Werk geriet in Vergessenheit.. Book Condition: Fine. Jacket: Fine Stock number: 18019. ISBN: 3832175709

Imprint: Boston, Massachusetts, U.S.A., Harry N Abrams Inc, 1993 Fine as new in original shrinkwrap. A beatuiful photograogic softcover catalog of this important African American photographer. VanDerZee was the first 20th-century African American photographer to achieve commercial success and fame. Between the wars, he ran a photography studio in Harlem, where he documented the famous and the everyday of the Harlem Renaissance more thoroughly than any other photographer. Thanks to the inclusion of some of his images in the 1969 Metropolitan Museum of Art exhibition "Harlem on My Mind," he was rediscovered at age 83, living in poverty in Harlem. Before he died, he again took up the camera to photograph many prominent African Americans, including Muhammad Ali, Romare Bearden, and Bill Cosby. Published on the occasion of an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, this first major survey of his work in 20 years presents a full retrospective in high-quality reproductions. Willis-Braithwaite ( Black Photographers, 1840-1988 , 1985) and Birt (humanities, San Francisco State Univ.) provide excellent essays tracing VanDerZee's life and work, while detailed captions accompany the photos. Highly recommended for photography and African American studies collections.. Book Condition: Fine as New. Binding: Illustrated Soft Cover Stock number: 17648. ISBN: 0810939231

Imprint: Frankfurt am Main, Germany, Peter Lang, 2007 THIS IS THE COMPLETE SET: ALL 4 VOLUMES IN PERFECT CONDITION. The collected letters of Jonathan Swift, D.D., Irish dean and celebrated author of Gulliver's Travels, have long been esteemed with the best to have emerged from eighteenth century England, an age distinguished for the excellence of its letters. In the half century from 1690 to 1740 some two hundred and thirty contemporaries, in all walks of life, thought to preserve his autographs: among them were his literary friends, his printers and publishers, politicians of the day in England and Ireland, his ecclesiastical superiors and other clergy, his friends of the nobility, and closer friends and relatives. He also diligently kept many of their replies. Together these project a marvellously animated panorama not only of his own life, but of his varied acquaintance, and the scenes of London, Dublin, and rural Ireland through a deeply interesting historical era. This entirely new edition prepared by a recognized authority presents over 1500 letters, derived from the earliest authentic texts in manuscript or print, and provides the most comprehensive commentary to date, based upon published and unpublished research of the last thirty years..
