FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- -- with a bonus offer--; The appearance during the first millennium A.D. of small exquisitely carved artifacts of walrus ivory in the Bering Strait region marks the beginning of an extraordinary florescence in the art and culture of North America. The discovery in the 1930s and 1940s of world-class carvings of animals mythical beasts shape-shifting creatures masks and human figurines astounded scholars and excited collectors. Nevertheless the extraordinary objects that belong to this fascinating sometimes frightening world of hunting-related art remain largely unknown. Gifts from the Ancestors examines ancient ivories from the coast of Bering Strait western Alaska and the islands in between—illuminating their sophisticated formal aesthetic cultural complexity and individual histories. Many of the pieces discussed are from recent Russian excavations and are presented here for the first time in English; others are from private collections not usually open to the public. The essays written by an international group of scholars adopt a refreshing interdisciplinary approach that gives voice to the various competing and now sometimes cooperating stakeholders including Native groups museums archaeologists art historians art dealers and private collectors. . 2009. 0300122063 .

1930réf. C3036xii255 pages with frontispiece tables and diagrams. Octavo 8 1/2" x 6 1/4" bound in original publisher's blue cloth with brown lettering to spine. Signed on the frontispiece. Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana: 1516 Second edition. First published in 1929. Fully annotated games played by the author illustrating the theories discussed in My System and arranged under the headings: Centralization Restriction & blockade Over-protection The isolated queen's pawn Alternating maneuvers against enemy weaknesses Excursions through old and new territory of hypermodern chess. Aron Nimzowitsch was a Latvian-born Danish chess player and writer. In the late 1920s Nimzowitsch was one of the best chess players in the world. He was the foremost figure amongst the hypermoderns and wrote a very influential book on chess theory: My System 1925–1927. Nimzowitsch's seminal work Chess Praxis originally published in German in 1929. The height of Nimzowitsch's career was the late 1920s and early 1930s. Chessmetrics places him as the third best player in the world from 1927 to 1931 behind Alexander Alekhine and José Capablanca. His most notable successes were first-place finishes at Copenhagen 1923 Marienbad 1925 Dresden 1926 Hanover 1926 the Carlsbad 1929 chess tournament and second place behind Alekhine at the San Remo 1930 chess tournament. Nimzowitsch never developed a knack for match play though; his best match success was a draw with Alekhine but the match consisted of only two games and took place in 1914 thirteen years before Alekhine became world champion. Nimzowitsch is considered one of the most important players and writers in chess history. His works influenced numerous other players including Savielly Tartakower Milan Vidmar Richard Réti Akiba Rubinstein Mikhail Botvinnik Bent Larsen Viktor Korchnoi and Tigran Petrosian and his influence is still felt today. He wrote three books on chess strategy: Mein System My System 1925; Die Praxis meines Systems The Practice of My System 1929 commonly known as Chess Praxis; and Die Blockade The Blockade 1925 although much in this book is generally held to be a rehash of material already presented in Mein System. Mein System is considered to be one of the most influential chess books of all time. It sets out Nimzowitsch's most important ideas while his second most influential work Chess Praxis elaborates upon these ideas adds a few new ones and has immense value as a stimulating collection of Nimzowitsch's own games accompanied by his idiosyncratic hyperbolic commentary which is often as entertaining as instructive. Condition: Signed by the author on the frontispiece. Cover heavily foxed soiled and color faded corners bumped and rubbed spine ends rubbed and frayed. A good copy internally very good.

1928réf. 55257Leipzig: Verlag Karl W. Hiersemann 1928. Limited edition. Hardcover. Very good condition. 1/350 copies. This is #326 hand-numbered on the colophon at the rear of the facsimile volume. This set provides a stunning full reproduction of the beautiful and notable late medieval illuminated manuscript Haggadah held at the State Library of Darmstadt along with critical text discussing the work. Originally produced by the scribe Israel Ben Meir of Heidelberg in conjunction with an unidentified artist this fascinating Passover Haggadah has been noted for its unique illustrations. Scholars have remarked on its inclusion of egalitarian images of men and women and have noted that it visually seems to have more in common with non-Jewish works from the period. The last two leaves of the manuscript are not connected with the Passover text but instead depict a hunting scene and the Fountain of Youth. All though the scholarly text of this edition written by German Rabbi Bruno Italiener 1881-1951 along with German art historian August L. Mayer 1885-1944 historian Aron Freimann 1871-1948 and Adolf Schmidt dates the manuscript to the 14th century superseding scholarship has now ruled out that possibility for stylistic reasons. The manuscript is now believed to have been produced sometime around 1430. Vol.1 text: Octavo. xi 1 313 1pp. 16 plates. Pebbled leather over decorative paper boards with gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the spine. Top edge in gilt. Frontispiece b/w photographic reproduction of the binding of the original manuscript. German and Hebrew text throughout critically discusses the Haggadah manuscript and analyses a number of other related manuscripts from the period. The final leaves contain 16 plates of high quality b/w photogravure reproducing pages of various manuscripts mentioned in the text. Vol. 2 "tafelband" facsimile volume: Folio. 58 double-sided leaves. Pebbled leather over decorative paper boards with gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the spine. Top edge in gilt. This volume gorgeously reproduces in full the content of the illuminated manuscript Haggadah. The reproduction utilizes what was at the time state of the art full color photography highlighted with lustrous gilt overprinting. The visual reproduction is surprising in its faithful accurate and vibrant reproduction of the leaves text and imagery. The resulting facsimile is successfully able to replicate the look and feel as well as the physical aspects of the interior of the original manuscript. Text volume with very minor rubbing to extremities of the binding and some minor foxing to the bottom and foredges of the book block. Interior with minor sporadic foxing to the pages usually confined to the margins. Facsimile volume with some very minor rubbing to the extremities of the binding. Interior clean and vibrant. Book blocks tight. Bindings in very good to near fine interiors in very good to near fine condition overall.
