‎Aleksey Mikhailovich Remizov (???????? ??????????? ????????)‎

‎Vesennee Porosh'e‎

‎Sirin Publishing House 1915. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Good. 328 Pp. Grey Wrappers Printed In Red Wrappers Laid Down And Rebound; Original Spine Mostly Perished. Aleksey Mikhailovich Remizov ; 1877-1957 Was A Russian Modernist Writer Whose Creative Imagination Veered To The Fantastic And Bizarre. Apart From Literary Works Remizov Was An Expert Calligrapher Who Sought To Revive This Visual Art In Russia. Remizov Was Reared In The Merchant Milieu Of Moscow. As A Student Of The Moscow University He Was Involved In The Radical Politics And Spent Eight Years In Prison And Siberian Exile. At That Time He Developed A Keen Interest In Russian Folklore And Married A Student Of Ancient Russian Art Who Brought Him In Contact With The Roerichs. In 1905 He Settled In Saint Petersburg And Started To Imitate Medieval Folk Tales. His Self-Professed Ambition Was To Catch "The Bitterness And Absurdity Of Folklore Imagination". Remizov's Whimsical Stylizations Of The Saints' Lives Were Ignored At First Partly Due To Their Florid And Turgid Language But His More Traditional Prose Works Set In The Underworld Of Russian Cities Gained Him A Great Deal Of Publicity. In His Satirical Novella The History Of The Tinkling Cymbal And Sounding Brass 1910/1922 Remizov Depicted The Eccentricities And Superstitions Of Rural Sectarians. Another Striking Work Of This Period Is "The Sacrifice" A Gothic Horror Story In Which "A Ghostly Double Of A Father Comes To Kill His Innocent Daughter In The Mistaken Belief That She Is A Chicken". By The Time Of The Russian Revolution Remizov Had Concentrated On Imitating More Or Less Obscure Works Of Medieval Russian Literature. He Responded To The Revolution By The Lay Of The Ruin Of The Russian Land A Paraphrase Of The 13Th-Century Work Bemoaning The Mongol Invasion Of Russia. In 1921 He Moved To Berlin And Then In 1923 - To Paris Where He Published An Account Of His Attitudes Towards The Revolution Under The Title Whirlwind Russia 1927. During His Years In Exile Remizov Brought Out A Number Of Bizarre Works Featuring Demons And Nightmare Creatures. The Writer Also Developed A Keen Interest In Dreams And Wrote A Few Works On The Subject That Involved Prominent Figures Of Russian Literature Gogol Dostoyevsky And Others. Although He Was So Prolific Many Of His Works Failed To Find A Publisher In Fact From 1931 To 1952 There Was Not A Single Book Published. Remizov Was Also The First Russian Modernist Author To Attract The Attention Of The Luminaries Of The Parisian Literary World Such As James Joyce. His Reputation Suffered A Decline When Following World War Ii He Announced His Interest In Returning To The Soviet Union And Even Obtained A Soviet Passport Which He Did Not Have A Chance To Use. After That Remizov Was Abhorred By The Émigré Litterateurs The Most Famous Of Whom Vladimir Nabokov Used To Say That The Only Nice Thing About Remizov Was That He Really Lived In The World Of Literature. The Years 1952 To 1957 Saw A Number Of Remizov's Books Published Though Only A Very Limited Number Of Copies Were Printed. Along With Andrei Bely Remizov Was One Of The Most Famous Russian Modernist Writers. He Became Known For His Experimental Skaz Techniques And "Underground Dostoevskianism". As D. S. Mirsky Notes Remizov's Works Influenced Yevgeny Zamyatin Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy And Mikhail Prishvin. Of All The Representatives Of Radical Impressionism In Contemporary Russian Literature Remizov Is Perhaps The Most Radical. He Does Not Imagine The Real Life Except Through Some Ominous Ugly Fantastic And Mysterious Glass . <br/> <br/> Sirin Publishing House paperback‎

‎The Villa Madama Rome: A Reconstruction Edition De Luxe In Niger Leather‎

‎London: John Tiranti & Co 1928. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine. Viii 75 Pp. 13" X 10 1/2" The Library Edition Is 12 3/4" X 9 3/4" The Edition De Luxe In Full Niger Morocco With Five Faux-Gold Medallions Inset Into Five Deep Recesses In The Front Cove; Top Edge Gilt Deckled Edges Grey Endpapers. 33 Plates With 44 Drawings And Photographs Including Two Double-Page And 23 Other Colored Reproductions. With The 8 Page Prospectus Finely Printed On Apparently Hand-Made Paper. Inscribed By The Author To Robert Ladd Gifford Of Pasadena. Villa Madama Sometimes Considered The Finest Decorated Villa Of The Renaissance Was Highly Influential For Subsequent Architects Of The High Renaissance. Cardinal Giulio De' Medici Commissioned The Initial Design Of The Villa From Raphael; Raphael Died At The Age Of 37 In 1520 With Work At The Villa Far From Completed And Construction Passed On To His Disciples. After The Sack Of Rome In 1527 By A Ragtag Starving Multinational Army See The Excellent Book "The Sack Of Rome" The Villa Was Never Completed. The Villa Madama Was One Of The First Of The Revived Roman Type Of Suburban Villas Designed For Parties And Entertainment Built In 16Th Century Rome And It Was Consciously Conceived To Rival Descriptions Of The Villas Of Antiquity Like Pliny's Famous Description Of His Own. The Villa Later Passed Into Private Hands Later To Mussolini And Is Now Owned By The Italian State And Used Occasionally For Official Events. William Ernest Greenwood The Author Of This Book Was A Fellow And A Member Of The Council Of "The Institute Of British Decorators." He Later Moved To Pasadena And Worked As An Artist And Later As A Teacher. Robert Ladd Gifford Was The Son-In-Law Of Mrs. Everett Wellington Brooks For Whom Brookside Park Home Of The Rose Bowl Is Named. Brooks And His Son-In-Law Robert Ladd Gifford Built A Massive Home In 1910 As A "Double Residence" For Their Families Designed By Frederick L. Roehrig To Design The Home In The Late 19Th Century English Arts And Crafts Style. Roehrig Designed Several Nearby Homes And Public Buildings Including The Green Hotel Distinguished For Its 1898 Moorish-Style Section Featuring Cylindrical Turrets And Ornate Cornices. The Home Has 11 Bedrooms And 10 Bathrooms In Slightly More Than 13000 Square Feet On 1.7 Acres. <br/> <br/> John Tiranti & Co hardcover‎

Near Fine Previous Owner's Name. Dj With Slight Wear Two Short Tears At Top Of Rear Panel. Remarkably Thorough Experimental And Theoretical History And Analysis. Definitive For The Advanced Student And The Expert. Per Wikipedia Chien-Shiung Wu Chinese: ; Pinyin: Wú Jiànxióng; Wade-Giles: Wu2 Chien4-Hsiung2; 1912 - 1997 Was A Chinese-American Particle And Experimental Physicist Who Made Significant Contributions In The Fields Of Nuclear And Particle Physics. Wu Worked On The Manhattan Project Where She Helped Develop The Process For Separating Uranium Into Uranium-235 And Uranium-238 Isotopes By Gaseous Diffusion. She Is Best Known For Conducting The Wu Experiment Which Proved That Parity Is Not Conserved. This Discovery Resulted In Her Colleagues Tsung-Dao Lee And Chen-Ning Yang Winning The 1957 Nobel Prize In Physics While Wu Herself Was Awarded The Inaugural Wolf Prize In Physics In 1978. Her Expertise In Experimental Physics Evoked Comparisons To Marie Curie. Her Nicknames Include The "First Lady Of Physics" The "Chinese Madame Curie" And The "Queen Of Nuclear Research". After Work On The Manhattan Project During Wwii Wu Accepted An Offer Of A Position As An Associate Research Professor At Columbia. She Would Remain At Columbia For The Rest Of Her Career And Was First Named Associate Professor In 1952 Which Made Her The First Woman To Become A Tenured Physics Professor In University History. In November 1949 Wu Experimented With The Conclusions Of Einstein's Epr Thought Experiment Which Called Quantum Entanglement "Spooky Action At A Distance". Wu Was The First To Establish The Phenomenon And Validity Of Entanglement Using Photons Through Observing Angular Correlation As Her Result Confirmed Maurice Pryce And John Clive Ward's Calculations On The Correlation Of The Quantum Polarizations Of Two Photons Propagating In Opposite Directions. Specifically The Experiment Carried Out By Wu Was The First Important Confirmation Of Quantum Results Relevant To A Pair Of Entangled Photons As Applicable To The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Epr Paradox. Her 1950 Letter To Physical Review Famously Identified Confirmation Of Wheeler's Ideas On Entanglement. Tsung-Dao Lee And Another Chinese Theoretical Physicist Chen Ning Yang Grew To Question A Hypothetical Law Of Elementary Particle Physics The "Law Of Conservation Of Parity". Lee And Yang Worked Out A Pencil-And-Paper Design Of An Experiment For Testing Conservation Of Parity In The Laboratory. Because Of Her Expertise In Choosing And Then Working Out The Hardware Manufacture Set-Up And Laboratory Procedures Wu Then Informed Lee That She Could Carry Out The Experiment. Wu Chose To Do This By Taking A Sample Of Radioactive Cobalt-60 And Cooling It To Cryogenic Temperatures With Liquid Gases. Cobalt-60 Is An Isotope That Decays By Beta Particle Emission And Wu Was Also An Expert On Beta Decay. The Discovery Of Parity Violation Was A Major Contribution To Particle Physics And The Development Of The Standard Model. The Discovery Actually Set The Stage For The Development Of The Model As The Model Relied On The Idea Of Symmetry Of Particles And Forces And How Particles Can Sometimes Break That Symmetry.The Wide Coverage Of Her Discovery Prompted The Discoverer Of Fission Otto Frisch To Mention That Those At Princeton Would Often Say That Her Experiment Was The Most Impactful Since The Michelson-Morley Experiment That Inspired Einstein's Theory Of Relativity. In December 1962 Wu Experimentally Demonstrated A Universal Form And More Accurate Version Of Fermi's Old Beta Decay Model Confirming The Conserved Vector Current Cvc Hypothesis Of Richard Feynman And Murray Gell-Mann On The Road To The Standard Model. <br/> <br/> Interscience Publishers / John Wiley & Sons hardcover‎
