Description: "The most highly publicized building renewal process in the world today-and the most significant survey of competing architecture designs since the international design competition for the Chicago Tribune Tower in 1922-is for the reconstruction of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan. It has inspired a multitude of designs and has engaged architects on a global scale in the re-imagining of the vacant 16-acre site. Published in conjunction with Architectural Record the most important architecture journal in the United States 'Imagining Ground Zero' documents not only the various competitions sponsored by the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation but also the informal proposals sponsored by the New York Times New York Magazine and the exhibition at Max Protetch Gallery as well as a selection from thousands of schemes submitted independently for the World Trade Center site and Memorial. Among the key figures in contemporary architecture whose work is featured here are Coop Himmelblau Peter Eisenman Norman Foster Charles Gwathmey Zaha Hadid Hardy Holzman Pfeiffer Associates Steven Holl Rem Koolhaas Greg Lynn Richard Meier Eric Owen Moss David Rockwell Lindy Roy Ben van Berkel and Caroline Bos Rafael Viñoly and many others. With its exhaustive approach to these myriad voices in the discourse surrounding the World Trade Center site 'Imagining Ground Zero' is destined to become the canonical reference for this unprecedented event in world architecture." -- with a bonus offer--; Architectural Record Book . 2004. 0847826570 .

"Ce pays inconnu des terriens est la Lune et l’inversion du point de vue « au clair de terre » permet de réduire certaines certitudes à l’état de préjugés ou réciproquement de fournir une justification de plusieurs préjugés. Un chapitre est consacré aux « causes de tant de lois bizarres, de coutumes singulières, d’usages extravagants ou barbares ». C’est un véritable cabinet de curiosités anthropologiques que le lecteur est invité à visiter. Il découvre des peuples qui pratiquent les sacrifices humains, des enfants qui dévorent leurs parents, des veuves qui se font brûler avec leur époux, des hommes qui mettent les femmes en commun, des femmes qui se prostituent au temple de Vénus... Les cas de superstitions qui seront discutés par Rétif et Nodier sont ici replacés dans une perspective anthropologique plus large qui relativise les us et coutumes à travers le monde et du même coup la frontière entre préjugé et raison. (in, Réhabilitation des préjugés et crise des Lumières, Michel Delon, p. 143-156. Revue Germanique internationale, 1995, La crise des Lumières.) "Edition originale de cette utopie lunaire. L'auteur, musicographe et auteur d'un opéra comique, fait l'éloge, dans son "Epître à moi-même" en début du vol. 1, de l'amour-propre comme facteur de perfectionnement moral." (Querard II, 791). Cet ouvrage a parfois été attribué à Thiphaigne de la Roche. Jost de Villeneuve est peu connu. On sait qu'il fut directeur des finances de la Toscane (notice Bnf), et auteur dramatique On lui doit notammen Zéphir et Fleurette, opéra-comique, ballet par Messieurs de Villeneuve et L. [Laujon.] (1750). Le Voyageur philosophe est son principal ouvrage. "Cette odyssée philosophique est un songe au bout duquel le voyageur se retrouve au bas de son lit. Le pays du rêve, celui des Sélénites (habitants de la lune), permet la comparaison de l'état social et de l'état naturel : dans l'absence du mien et du tien, il n'y a pas de vice, pas de crime, pas de crainte de la mort. A Sélénopolis, les sciences ont fait de grands progrès. C'est le siècle des Lumières parfaitement réalisé." (A. Soboul, Utopies au siècle des Lumières, Hachette, n°034/5). Référence : Versin, Encyclopédie de l'Utopie, p. 540.) Exemplaire imprimé sur grand papier (papier fort de Hollande à grandes marges). Ce tirage est dénommé "papier royal" dans le catalogue des livres qui se trouvent chez le libraire Neaulme en 1762. Bon exemplaire, en grand papier conservé non rogné, de ce chef d'œuvre utopique du XVIIIe siècle.

1929Best.-Nr. 82794Indianapolis IN: The Bobs-Merrill Company 1929. First edition first printing. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To Jean Hersholt a great artist from the author of this book Lorna Moon". With the bookplate of the Motion Picture Country House tipped-in above the inscription and two MPCH ink stamps to the front pastedown. The author Nora Low grew up in Aberdeenshire but eventually moved to the US and became a Hollywood screenwriter working on a number of hits in the 1920s including Mr. Wu starring Lon Chaney Don't Tell Everything 1921 starring Gloria Swanson and Her Husband's Trademark 1922 with Gloria Swanson and directed by Cecil B. DeMille Love 1927 and Anna Karenina starring Greta Garbo. She also wrote two semi-autobiographical literary works: the short story collection Doorways in Drumorty 1925 and the present novel Dark Star 1929 which was adapted as the film Min and Bill in 1930. Both were based on her childhood in a small inward looking town in Scotland and explore similar themes including "the particular codes and conventions created by such a closed community patterns of surveillance strictures of public morality evidence of private despair. They engage with the margins of this world presenting itinerants outcasts and misfits with a distinct lack of sentimentality. Low's work is also striking in its awareness of the position of women in the community: her stories deal with minutiae with networks of power which operate in apparently insignificant areas" ODNB. Though Hersholt one of the leading Hollywood actors of the early 20th century never appeared in a film written by Low the two may have been acquainted either socially or professionally. The bookplate records that this copy was donated by Hersholt to the Motion Picture Country House a retirement community for Hollywood figures that as president of the Motion Picture Relief Fund he was instrumental in founding in 1940. A lovely copy uncommon in such nice condition with an excellent association. Octavo. Original black cloth white cloth backstrip titles to spine in black and red red top-stain. With dust jacket. A little pale spotting to boards top stain faded. An excellent copy in the jacket with faded spine panel a few minor nicks and a short closed tear to the lower panel. hardcover

1655Best.-Nr. bn1541A Rouen chez Jacques Cailloüe, dans la Cour du Palais Relié 1655 Très rare ouvrage, ici bien complet de son frontispice présentant Copernic, Kepler et Galilée. 'L'oeuvre s'adresse au grand public plutôt qu'aux experts sur le sujet, et son but est de populariser la vision de l'univers que l'on doit à Copernic, Kepler et Galilée. Le principal argument est que la Lune n'est pas un disque brillant mais plutôt un monde avec un paysage comme celui de la Terre. Bien sûr Wilkins n'est pas le 1er à avancer une telle théorie ; par exemple Galilée l'a indiqué de manière semblable. De manière peut-être plus surprenante, il pense que la Lune est une planète habitable et prédit qu'un jour le voyage vers elle sera possible. Ici aussi Wilkins n'est pas le 1er à faire cette suggestion mais elle est typique de la manière dont il pense, permettant à son esprit de vagabonder au milieu d'idées que d'autres auraient trouvé trop non conventionnelles pour les considérer.' In-12 relié plein parchemin (relié et lavé en 1861 d'après une note sur la garde). D'après une note figurant au 1er contre-plat, l'ouvrage a été « lavé et relié en 1861 ». Sa couverture est en plein parchemin, probablement de récupération : des restes d'écriture manuscrite sont encore parfaitement visibles. Cette technique, assez usuelle aux XIXe et début du XXe siècle produit parfois des résultats imparfaits. Ici cependant, la reliure a été soigneusement réalisée et ne souffre d'aucun défaut. Pièce de titre : frontispice, 8 pages non paginées contenant le titre et au lecteur, 269 pages pour le texte de la première partie, 3 pages non paginées pour la table, 2 pages non paginées pour le titre, 284 pages pour le texte, 3 pages non paginées pour la table des propositions.
