‎Buffon. 6111 giorni di Juve‎

‎ill., br. Il 17 maggio 2018 Gianluigi Buffon, in una conferenza stampa sentita ed emozionante, annuncia che la domenica successiva, quella contro il Verona sarà la sua ultima partita con la Juventus. Termina così un'epopea lunga 17 stagioni e 656 partite, con un numero smisurato di titoli e riconoscimenti personali e di squadra, a ripagare ampiamente l'investimento di oltre 100 miliardi delle vecchie lire che nell'estate del 2001 regalò alla "Vecchia Signora" un'autentica icona generazionale. Un tempo potenzialmente infinito e che pure è trascorso senza quasi che ce ne accorgessimo, partita dopo partita, stagione dopo stagione, campionato vinto dopo campionato vinto, fino all'abbraccio di uno Stadium che, dopo Del Piero, si vede costretto a salutare l'ultimo degli eroi che ha contribuito a (ri)costruire tutto sulle macerie di Calciopoli e della Serie B. Un romanzo che continuerà altrove, ma che ha visto le pagine più romantiche e suggestive scritte all'ombra di quella Mole che è stata la sua casa per tanto tempo. E che, in fondo, continuerà a esserlo anche ora che, sullo sfondo, c'è la Tour Eiffel.‎

‎First edition of this extensive landmark work in natural science. After his death several other volumes were published making the total number of volumes 44. Together with Diderot's Encyclopaedia, this work represents the peak of book printing of the French enlightenment. Buffon was the first to sum up an entire natural history, based on science instead of theology"" It constitutes one of the first attempts to provide a comprehensive account of the natural world aiming at describing the entire known natural world - including plants, animals, and minerals - in a single work. Buffon based his work on first-hand observations and scientific analysis, rather than on second-hand accounts or mythological beliefs, making it a seminal work in the development of modern science. ""Buffon's ""Natural History, General and Particular"" presented for the first time a complete survey of natural history in a popular form [...] he was the first to present the universe as one complete whole and to find no phenomenon calling for any but a purely scientific explanation. In 1739, he was appointed Director of the Jardin du Roi (now Jardin des Plantes). It would appear that the 'Natural History germinated in the preparation of a catalogue of the royal collection. Buffon then enlarged its scope to Aristotelian or Plinian proportions and finally transformed it into a conspectus of nature of a breadth and depth previously unknown"". […] he was the first to present the universe as one complete whole and to find no phenomenon calling for any but a purely scientific explanation."" (PMM). Buffon's work had a significant impact upon the field of natural history and influenced many other scientists, including Charles Darwin"" In a part of the work, (""Des Epoqeus de la Nature"" (Supplement vol. V, 1778, present here)), Buffon attacked several Christian doctrines on natural science. He saw man as a part of the animal world, he objected to earth being only 6000 years old, and he dismissed a rigid classification system thus paving the way for Darwin's thoughts a century later:""Georges Buffon set forth his general views on species classification in the first volume of his Histoire Naturelle. Buffon objected to the so-called ""artificial"" classifications of Andrea Cesalpino and Carolus Linnaeus, stating that in nature the chain of life has small gradations from one type to another and that the discontinuous categories are all artificially constructed by mankind. Buffon suggested that all organic species may have descended form a small number of primordial types"" this is an evolution predominantly from more perfect to less perfect forms."" (Parkinson, Breakthroughs). ""Buffon's work is of exceptional importance because of its diversity, richness, originality, and influence. Buffon was among the first to create an autonomous science, free of any theological influence. He emphasized the importance of natural history and the great length of geological time. He envisioned the nature of science and understood the roles of paleontology, zoological geography, and animal psychology. He realised both the necessity of transformism and its difficulties. Although his cosmogony was inadequate and his theory of animal reproduction was weak, and although he did not understand the problem of classification, he did establish the intellectual framework within which most naturalists up to Darwin worked."" (DSB) From the library of Danish zoologist Jonas Collin (1840-1905), who issued a new edition of Kjærbølling's ""The Birds of Scandinavia"" in 1875-1877 (See Anker 251) - a work most likely inspired by his knowledge from his (i.e. the present) copy of Buffon's ""Histoire Naturelle"".The 'Histoire Générale' was widely reprinted and translated. Sometimes only individual sections were produced, other times the complete work appeared. PMM 198.Nissen 672.Brunet I, 376.Dibner 193.Sparrow p. 23.Anker 6.‎

‎London: Thomas Tegg; J. Cumming Dublin; and R. Griffin and Co. Glasgow 1831. 170 x 100 mm. 6 3/4 x 4". Four volumes. Edited by John Wright. <br/> Contemporary black morocco covers with an elaborate frame in gilt and blind raised bands spine compartments gilt with foliate volutes turn-ins with a narrow gilt roll marbled endpapers all edges gilt rear hinge of fourth volume very neatly repaired. The first volume WITH AN EXCELLENT FORE-EDGE PAINTING DEPICTING ROTTERDAM FROM THE WATER. The first volume WITH AN EXCELLENT FORE-EDGE PAINTING DEPICTING ROTTERDAM FROM THE WATER. All volumes with numerous wood-engravings in the text. Corners and spine somewhat worn joints a little rubbed hinges of first volume open but nothing loose; pastedowns with shadow of bookplate removal but internally fresh clean and bright with only trivial defects.<br/> <br/> This set of an English adaptation of one of the most widely read works of the Enlightenment features a pleasing fore-edge painting full of charming detail. With his enormously influential "Histoire Naturelle" Buffon 1707-88 became the first person to present the natural world as one unified whole entirely explicable in scientific terms and in a popular form. Modern evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr called Buffon "the father of all thought in natural history in the second half of the 18th century" and declared that the "Natural History" was read by "every educated person in Europe." Our editor John Wright has augmented Buffon's work with the works of other naturalists including Culver Lacepede and "a British botanist of acknowledged note" among others. The text is supplemented by numerous wood engravings with perhaps livelier and more attractive depictions than might be expected from a small format abridged edition like this one. The main attraction here the fore-edge painting has been done with not inconsiderable skill and charm. In it two vessels cruise the glassy waters of Rotterdam the city's iconic canal houses and the gothic church of St. Lawrence rising in the background. The scene mixes tranquility and commerce in a tableau rendered with a great deal of care and delicacy in its minute details. Thomas Tegg; J. Cumming, Dublin; and R. Griffin and Co., Glasgow unknown‎
