2021br. «Il drive si tira per fare spettacolo, il putt per guadagnarsi la pagnotta.» L'adagio è ben noto ai golfisti e lo è ancor più a Bob Rotella, autore dei bestseller Il golf non è il gioco della perfezione e Il golf è questione di fiducia. La maggior parte dei golfisti passa il proprio tempo a tentare di migliorare lo swing per aumentare la distanza. Rotella invece sposta la loro attenzione verso il putt, aspetto del gioco tanto cruciale quanto trascurato. I grandi campioni sono consapevoli dell'importanza del putt e sono disposti a qualunque sacrificio pur di dominarlo. Un dominio che comincia proprio dal capire l'atteggiamento necessario per migliorare con il putter in mano. Il putt vincente contiene decine di esercizi che cambieranno per sempre il vostro gioco sul green, oltre a molte storie vere di grandi del golf come Jack Nicklaus, David Duval, Davis Love III e Tiger Woods, ed è ritenuto un punto di riferimento insostituibile del putt mentale per dilettanti e professionisti.
2022br. Nel golf vincere è soprattutto una questione di testa. Sul campo le insidie mentali sono infinite. Pensiamo al tee shot che annega nel laghetto; al ferro 7 parziale al green che resta corto; alle mani tremanti che sbagliano il putt da pochi centimetri. Sono tutti errori che nascono da un modo sbagliato di pensare, da un'abitudine che contrae lo swing e finisce per produrre proprio il colpo temuto, anziché quello giusto. Dare la colpa alla meccanica è tanto facile quanto inutile. Bob Rotella, il Doc, ci insegna a concentrarci su ciò che conta: il colpo, la routine, il bersaglio, ma anche la fiducia, il piano di gioco, l'atteggiamento in campo. Con parole semplici ed esempi tratti dalla pratica dei grandi giocatori, il libro formula una ricetta basata sull'accettazione dell'errore, unica via verso il buon risultato. Giocare bene a golf significa infatti imparare a fare il meglio possibile con lo swing che abbiamo. O, per citare Rotella, il miglior modo di pensare allo swing è non pensarci affatto. Campioni di tutte le epoche, da Ballesteros a McIlroy, si sono si sono scontrati con l'aspetto mentale del golf, spesso uscendone sconfitti. Fino all'incontro risolutore con il Doc.
2020ril. La fiducia, o "giocare con gli occhi" secondo la definizione di Bob Rotella, può fare differenza tra par e bogey, tra uno e tre putt, tra vittoria e sconfitta. Rotella aiuta il lettore a rivoluzionare la sua gestione del campo e il suo gioco mentale, analizzando episodi chiave della carriera di figure leggendarie del golf: dalle 17 vittorie (di cui undici consecutive) di Byron Nelson nel 1945 ai giri che hanno definito le carriere di Brad Faxon, Tom Kite e Davis Love III - momenti in cui la pressione è alle stelle e la fiducia è necessaria come non mai. Rotella porta il lettore in campo con il campione di turno ma soprattutto svela i segreti della sua mente nei momenti che contano.

Stored in decorative full cloth slipcases. First edition. Signed presentation copy, inscribed by the author to the entomologist and carcinologist Eugène Louis Bouvier (1856-1944), who wrote the introduction to this elaborate entomological work: "A Monsieur le Professeur Bouvier, à qui je dois toute ma reconnaissance pour avoir mené à bonne fin cet important ouvrage faisant le plus grand honneur à sa haut compétence et à son grand dévouement à la sciene [...]". - Between the years of 1904 and 1905 Maurice de Rothschild (1881-1957) led and financed a collecting expedition in East Africa, travelling from Djibouti, across Eritrea to Ethiopia and Kenya. The collected specimens were presented to the Paris Natural History Museum. A large number of entomologists, including Charles Rothschild (1877-1923), worked on the specimens, their descriptions - some in Latin - being published in the first two volumes. A total of 68 specimens were named 'rothschildi', although not all of them are today known by this name. The third volume, containing exquisite colour illustrations of the insects, occupied a similarly large number of artists. - Uncut. Bindings somewhat worn; interior crisp and clean. A very well preserved copy of this elaborate work. Rare: a single copy in auction records. BM (NH) VIII, 1096. Not in Nissen or Pankhurst.

Folio. 1 page. On uncut wove paper, bearing the Schoellers-Parole blind embossed seal, margins uncut. The original autograph contribution of Dr Rouchdy Bey to the Committee of the World League for Peace (Ligue Mondiale pour la Paix), a remarkable organization formed in 1925 with close ties to the League of Nations. The Committee itself was composed of such notaries as Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, King Carol II of Romania, John D Rockefeller, Marie Curie, and Albert Einstein, who personally gathered the present manuscripts over the course of seven years (1925-32). Among the public figures who contributed to the project were dignitaries from the newly-created League of Nations' member states.

[Signed] Dr Rouchdy". Pax Mundi. Livre d'or de la paix. Enquete universelle de la Ligue mondiale pour la paix sous le haut patronage de son comite d'honneur avec l'approbation de la Societe des nations, du Bureau international du travail et de la Cour permanente de justice internationale.

4to. 4 pp. on 4 ff. On headed stationery. Draft of a letter to Mohammed Salman, the Oil Minister of Iraq, about the administration of Abadan port, claimed both by Iran and Iraq, reflecting his concern with achieving consent in political matters as well as matters of the oil industry: "The Port of Abadan lies incontestably within the jurisdiction of Iran, and when the Iranian Government takes steps to provide its own harbourmasters in that Port it is doing nothing else than exercising a normal function of administration within its own waters. The past history of this question, and the fact that the Port of Basra has supplied harbourmasters for the Port of Abadan for some time [...] could not possibly deprive Iran of its right as an independent State to exercise sover[e]ignty over its territory. And yet this is what the attitude of your Government towards this question involves [...] If we cannot remove a difference of this simple nature, in which Iran is so evidently in the right; if the Iranian people are to be told that Iraq wishes to prevent Iran from administering the Port of Abadan in the same manner as Iraq administers, for instance, the Port of Basra; if the surprising statement of General Shawi that this matter concerns not the Iranian State but the Oil Consortium (which is foreign to both of us) is to be represented as the serious view of your Government, then how can we hope ever to achieve that harmony and unity of views and effective position on matters of joint importance, for example in relation ot OPEC, which is the first condition of success in the difficult common tasks which lie ahead of us? [...]". - With several corrections; the header "private and confidential" deleted.
4to. 937-959, (1) pp. Original printed wrappers. Stapled. Exceedingly rare paper on international agreements in the oil industry by Fuad Rouhani (1907-2004), the first Secretary General of OPEC. First presented in early 1962 at the United Nations petrol conference in New York, it discusses legal issues of the oil industry, especially adressing the problem of the uneven distribution of profits between oil companies and the countries in possession of the reservoirs: "On sait toutefois que ces dernières années les gouvernements des pays qui ont accordé des concessions ont acquis la conviction qu'il existe un écart trop grand entre les bénéfices que les compagnies retirent de l'indutrie qu'elles financent et les rentrées du pays qui possède les gisements" (p. 949). - Right edge slightly warped, otherwise very well preserved. Offprint from "Revue de l'Institut Français du Pétrole et Annales des combustibles liquides", vol. XVIII, no. 6. An English version is held at Pepperdine University Library in Malibu, California; no other copy traceable in libraries internationally.
8vo. VIII, 298 pp., final blank leaf. Printed original wrappers. First edition. Inscribed and signed by the author to Madame Maratuech, from 1919 to 1925 the director of the girls' boarding school at Saint-Denis operated by the French League of Honour: "A madame Maratuech, Directrice des Etudes de la Maison d'éducation de La Légion d'Honneur de St. Denis. Hommage respectueux de l'auteur [...]". - Interesting assessment of the impact of the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907, which regulated the spheres of influence over Afghanistan and Persia, with Britain controlling the entrance to the Gulf. It examines the growing influence of the British Empire in the Gulf region, particularly Bahrain, Kuwait and in Southern Arabia, before dealing with the geopolitics of Afghanistan, Tibet, and Persia, which was half under Russian and half under British influence. The work concludes with an analysis of the impact of the pact on both Muscat and Kuwait. Never translated into English; a Russian translation appeared in 1924. - Without the separately published lithographed map. Binding loosened; old adhesive tape in the gutter between front cover and flyleaf as well as to pp. 192f.; occasional small marginal flaws. OCLC 851237785.
