‎Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum‎

‎Architect Frank Lloyd Wright‎

‎New York NY: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Horizon Press December 1966. Second printing stated. Trade paperback. Very good. 68 pages. Oversized book measuring 10 inches by 8 inches. Solomon R. Guggenheim industrialist philanthropist and patron of the arts commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design an original building for the display of the growing collection of contemporary art which he had bequeathed to the public. In composition in beauty and in majesty the building will long live among the nation's architectural treasures. Includes Frank Lloyd Wright's original statements on his concept of the Guggenheim Museum sent to S. R. Guggenheim in August of 1946. Also contains a section through the main gallery and dome a photograph of Mr. Wright visiting the museum during the early days of construction a photograph of the foundations of the administration building May 1957 many other photographs of the completed museum and inside and outside foldouts. Frank Lloyd Wright June 8 1867 - April 9 1959 was an American architect interior designer writer and educator whose creative period spanned more than 70 years designing more than 1000 structures of which 532 were completed. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment a philosophy he called organic architecture. This philosophy was best exemplified by Fallingwater 1935 which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." As a founder of organic architecture Wright played a key role in the architectural movements of the twentieth century influencing three generations of architects worldwide through his works. Wright was the pioneer of what came to be called the Prairie School movement of architecture and he also developed the concept of the Usonian home in Broadacre City his unique vision for urban planning in the United States. Solomon Robert Guggenheim February 2 1861 - November 3 1949 was an American businessman and art collector. He is best known for establishing the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Guggenheim was born into a wealthy mining family and he founded the Yukon Gold Company in Alaska among other business interests. He began collecting art in the 1890s and he retired from his business after World War I to pursue art collecting. He eventually focused on modern art under the guidance of artist Baroness Hilla von R creating an important collection by the 1930s and opening his first museum in 1939. The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum often referred to as The Guggenheim is an art museum located at 1071 Fifth Avenue on the corner of East 89th Street in the Upper East Side neighborhood of Manhattan New York City. It is the permanent home of a continuously expanding collection of Impressionist Post-Impressionist early Modern and contemporary art and also features special exhibitions throughout the year. The museum was established by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in 1939 as the Museum of Non-Objective Painting under the guidance of its first director Hilla von R. It adopted its current name after the death of its founder Solomon R. Guggenheim in 1952. In 1959 the museum moved from rented space to its current building a landmark work of 20th-century architecture designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The cylindrical building wider at the top than at the bottom was conceived as a "temple of the spirit". Its unique ramp gallery extends up from ground level in a long continuous spiral along the outer edges of the building to end just under the ceiling skylight. Solomon R.

‎Perri Klass and Sheila Solomon Klass‎

‎Every Mother Is a Daughter: The Neverending Quest for Success Inner Peace and a Really Clean Kitchen Recipes and Knitting Patterns Included‎

‎New York: Ballantine Books 2006. H3 - A first edition stated with complete numberline hardcover book SIGNED by Perri Klass and Sheila Solomon Klass and inscribed to previous owner on the title page in very good condition in very good dust jacket. Dust jacket has some wrinkling chipping crease and few small soiled patches on the edges and corners light discoloration and shelf wear. Book has some bumped corners and dents a few light stains on the page edges light discoloration and shelf wear. Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together Perri and Sheila tell their mother-daughter story with honesty humor zest and mutual admiration. A memoir in two voices Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet that resonates with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize. 8.5"x6" 289 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. Mothers and daughters go through so much - yet when was the last time a mother and daughter sat down collectively to write a book together about it all Perri Klass and her mother Sheila Solomon Klass both gifted professional writers prove to be ideal collaborators as they examine their decades of motherhood daughterhood and the wonderful if sometimes fraught ways their lives have overlapped. Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother's: Both have full-time careers Perri is a pediatrician; Sheila is recently retired from a long career as a college English professor but goes on teaching; both have published books articles and stories; each has three children; they both love to read and to pass books back and forth. They also love to travel - in fact they often take trips together and live to tell the tale. But in truth the harder they look at their lives the more Perri and Sheila acknowledge their profound differences in circumstance and temperament. A child of the Depression Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by Orthodox Jewish parents who considered education an unnecessary luxury for girls. Starting with her college education she has fought for everything she's ever accomplished. Perri on the other hand grew up privileged and rebellious in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s. For Sheila fanatically frugal wasting time or money is a crime and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury but has not been successful at enticing her mother into even the tiniest self-indulgence. Each writing in her own unmistakable voice Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains the love and resentment the petty irritations and abiding respect that have always bound them together. Sheila recounts the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing anthropological fieldwork. Perri confesses that she can't tame her domestic chaos even though she knows it drives her mother crazy. Sheila rhapsodizes about the bliss of becoming a grandmother. Perri marvels at her mother s fearless navigation of the New York City subways. Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working confess long-hidden sorrows relish precious memories and even offer family recipes and knitting patterns. Signed by Author.

‎Limiting the Spread of Weapon-Usable Fissile Materials‎

‎Santa Monica CA: RAND National Defense Research Institute 1993. Presumed First Edition First printing. Trade paperback. Good. xxviii 102. Footnotes. Illustrations Tables and Figures. Glossary. Bibliography. Cover has some wear soiling and edge tear tear is also on title page. MR-346-USDP is printed on the back cover. This report examines the problem of rapidly accumulating weapons-usable fissile materials and proposes an agenda to help the United States and other countries manage these materials. Weapon-usable fissile materials come from dismantled nuclear weapons and the spent fuel from civilian nuclear power plants. This report is an important resource for nuclear nonproliferation planners and analysts and also to nuclear energy planners. This study was requests by the Office of the Deputy for Non-proliferation policy Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. There has been a concern that mismanagement of nuclear materials from weapon dismantlements might result in some of the materials being refashioned into nuclear weapons. This study found that countries including the United States have paid inadequate attention to an equally if not more serious potential danger on the civilian side. Another problem is the existence of commercial gas centrifuge and other sensitive enrichments technologies in nonnuclear weapon states. This study recommends that the United States initiate and encourage counters to undertake a four-element program for managing civilian nuclear development: reducing plutonium activities use proliferation-resistant modes of nuclear power plant operations focus research on advanced proliferation-resistant reactors and negotiating an international arrangement that allows sensitive civilian nuclear materials and facilities to exist and operate only in the five currently declared nuclear weapon states.

‎All Those Mornings . At the Post; The Twentieth Century in Sports From Famed Washington Post Columnist Shirley Povich‎

‎New York: PublicAffairs 2005. Third Printing stated. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. xxvi 404 2 pages. Illustrations. Index. Introduction by Tony Kornheiser. Introduction by Michael Wilbon. Inscribed on fep by David Povich. Shirley Lewis Povich July 15 1905 - June 4 1998 was an American sports columnist and reporter for The Washington Post. Povich joined the Post as a reporter in 1923 during his second year as a Georgetown University law student and in 1925 was named Editor of Sports. In 1933 he became a sports columnist a responsibility that continued until his death. In 1944 Povich took on the assignment of war correspondent for The Washington Post in the Pacific Theater. Following World War II he returned to his sports desk. He was the sports editor for the Post for forty-one years. He celebrated his retirement in 1973 but continued to write more than 500 pieces and cover the World Series for the Post. He would write about both the modern game and memories of years past. At the time of his death he was one of few working writers who had covered Babe Ruth. His final column was in the Post the day after his death at age 92. A collection of his columns All Those Mornings.At the Post was published in 2005. Derived from a Kirkus review: As Post readers once knew Shirley Povich was practically synonymous with the sports pages. Hired after caddying a golf match between New York Post publisher Joseph Pulitzer and Washington Post publisher Edward McLean and being genially argued over Povich went to work in D.C. in 1922 in that most legendary of ways: "Go up to the city room" an editor barked when he showed up "and tell Mr. Fitzgerald you're the new copyboy he's been asking for." Four years later Povich was sports editor and seven decades later he was still at his desk dying in 1998 just after finishing a column. Povich covered an extraordinary range of events some history-making. One was the 1938 run at Pimlico between Seabiscuit and War Admiral. Another was the 1924 World Series in which for the first and only time the Washington Senators won the title thanks to pitcher Walter Johnson. Strong on being in the right place at the right time-and in sheer longevity he also certainly knew his stuff. He knew his readers too: a perfect item for all those Washingtonians who miss reading Povich over their morning coffee. PublicAffairs hardcover‎

‎Where They Ain't; The Fabled Life and Untimely Death of the Original Baltimore Orioles The Team that Gave Birth to Modern Baseball‎

‎New York: The Free Press 1999. First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good. viii 2 342 pages. Major League Standings Career Records Notes. Index. Cover has some wear and soiling. Burt Solomon is a contributing editor for The Atlantic and National Journal where he has covered the White House and many other aspects of Washington life. In 1991 he won the Gerald R. Ford Prize for Distinguished Reporting on the Presidency. He is also the author of the acclaimed Where They Ain't a history of baseball in the 1890s. GQ named it as one of the 20 best books of the millennium and the Boston Globe said it "possesses the pace sense of character and evocative power of a novel." Greedy owners spoiled players disillusioned fans -- all hallmarks of baseball in the 'nineties. Only in this case it's the 1890s. We may think that business interests dominate the sport today but baseball's early years were an even harsher and less sentimental age when teams were wrenched from their cities owners colluded and the ballplayers held out and the National League nearly turned itself into an out-and-out cartel. Where They Ain't tells the story of that tumultuous time through the prism of the era's best team the legendary Baltimore Orioles and its best hitter Wee Willie Keeler whose motto "Keep your eye clear and hit 'em where they ain't" was wise counsel for an underdog in a big man's world. Under the tutelage of manager Ned Hanlon the Orioles perfected a style of play known as "scientific baseball" featuring such innovations as the sacrifice bunt the hit-and-run the squeeze play and the infamous Baltimore chop. The team won three straight pennants from 1894 to 1896 and played the game with snap and ginger. Burr Solomon introduces us to Keeler and his colorful teammates the men who reinvented baseball -- the fierce third baseman John McGraw the avuncular catcher Wilbert Robinson the spunky shortstop Hughey Jennings and the heartthrob outfielder Joe Kelley who carried a comb and mirror in his hip pocket to groom himself between batters. But championships and color were not enough for the barons of baseball who began to consolidate team ownership for the sake of monopoly profits. In 1899 the Orioles' owners entered into a "syndicate" agreement with the ambitious men who ran the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers -- with disastrous results. The Orioles were destroyed and the franchise folded the city of Baltimore was relegated to minor-league status just when the city's industries were being swallowed up by national monopolies and even Willie Keeler a joyful innocent who wanted only to play ball ultimately sold out as well. In Solomon's hands the story of the Orioles' demise is a page-turning tale of shifting alliances broken promises and backstage maneuvering by Tammany Hall and the Brooklyn and Baltimore political machines on a scale almost unimaginable today. Out of this nefarious brew was born the American League the World Series and what we know as "modern baseball" but innocence was irretrievably lost. The fans of Baltimore in fact would have to wait more than half a century for the major leagues to return. Where They Ain't lays bare the all-too-human origins of our national game and offers a cautionary tale of the pastime at a century's end. The Free Press hardcover‎

‎In the Company of Educated Women; A History of Women and Higher Education in America‎

‎New Haven CT: Yale University Press 1985. First Edition First Printing. Hardcover. Very good/very good. DJ has slight wear and soiling. xxi 298 pages. Illustrations. Tables. Notes. Note on Sources. Selected Bibliography. Index. Inscribed on fep. The social cultural and economic circumstances that have shaped the development of women's higher education are discussed. After considering colonial America when women were outsiders to liberal arts institutions the creation of women's and co-educational colleges is traced and the process by which women of different ethnic racial religious and social groups became collegians is described. Four themes are stressed: women's struggles for access to institutions the dimensions of the collegiate experience the effects of education upon women's life choices and the uneasy connection between feminism and women's educational advancement. Consideration is given to specific periods and developments including: the utility of women's educations 1800-1860; women and the modernizing of liberal education 1860-1920; the collegiate education of women and its plural strands 1920-1940; the expectations of the first modern college women in the 1920s and 1930s; a public debate for college women 1920-1944; and the developments since 1944 including the effect of the GI Bill the launching of Sputnik by the Russians and federal legislation that was intended to recruit a wider spectrum of students including women. Barbara Miller Solomon educator and pioneer in women's history suggests the transformative role that education could play in individual women's lives a theme that also shaped much of her writing. Her insights about the rich history of educated women helped lay the foundations of modern women's history. Born Barbara Leah Miller in Boston on February 12 1919. She graduated from Boston Girls' Latin School and then entered Radcliffe College in 1936. Just before her 1940 graduation she eloped with Peter Herman Solomon Harvard '40 the son of Harry Solomon professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Maida Herman Solomon a pioneer in psychiatric social work. Rabbi Stephen Wise married the couple in New York. Under the direction of Oscar Handlin she earned her doctorate in American history from Harvard in 1953. Her revised dissertation which was published in 1956 as Ancestors and Immigrants: A Changing New England Tradition examined the attitudes of New England Brahmins toward recent immigrants including Jews from the 1850s to the 1920s. Demonstrating how many women combined family life with careers in the 1950s Barbara Miller Solomon began teaching at Wheelock College in 1957. In 1959 she became head of the Women's Archives at Radcliffe later the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America. In 1963 she was named associate dean of Radcliffe College and in 1970 she became the first woman dean at Harvard College an event that received national publicity. Teaching and research were just as important to Solomon as administration. In 1972 she offered the first lecture course on the history of American women at Harvard laying the groundwork for the formal establishment of women's studies there in 1983. The importance of higher education for women was a central theme in her prize-winning book In the Company of Educated Women: A History of Women and Higher Education in America published in 1985 the year she retired from Harvard. She died of cancer on August 20 1992. Yale University Press hardcover‎

‎Baton Rouge LA: LA State University Press 1995. First Printing. Hardcover. very good/Fair. DJ worn at edges and corners. 24 cm 458 pages illus. Written by a 16 year-old Jewish girl living in the South's largest metropolis during the early years of the Civil War this hitherto unpublished diary is an invaluable historical and cultural document. Clara Solomon was 16 when the war began. A native of New Orleans she was the second of six daughters born to Solomon and Emma Solomon members of an elite group of Sephardic Jews. Early in the war Clara's father left his former business to serve as a sutler supplying clothing and accoutrements to troops engaged in battles in Virginia. During his absence from the household Solomon entrusted to his wife their home; supervision over their domestic housekeeper and their domestic slave; and care of their daughters Alice a 19-year-old teacher at the nearby public school the Webster School Clara a 16-year-old student at the Louisiana Normal School where girls studied to be teachers Frances their 14-year-old also known as Fanny or Fannie Sarah their eight-year-old also known as Sallie Rosa four and Josephine their one-year-old also known as Josie. Clara tells her life story from June 1961 to July 1862 in her journal published as The Civil War Diary of Clara Solomon edited by Elliott Ashkenazi. Her diary entries give modern readers insight into the thoughts and feelings of Southerners during the Union occupation of New Orleans and before that period of the war. As an expressive and impressionable young woman Clara also reveals a lot about her own character in her writing. While she betrays a rare idealistic spirit not uncommon to her day and age in many ways Clara is the typical modern American teenager in her self-consciousness about her appearance complaints about her mother frequent disinterest in her studies and fickleness regarding her interest in young men. An afterword to Clara's story is recounted by the editor. In 1866 Clara married Julius Lilienthal a well-established jewelry merchant who was 20 years her senior. Julius who was in poor health at the time of their marriage died the following year while under the care of Dr. George Lawrence a medical officer in the United States Navy.
