2013Best.-Nr. 411177Houston: Menil Foundation; Yale 2013. First edition. Generally a clean copy. 11 x 9.75 inches. 128 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original cloth; pictorial dust jacket. Includes 62 color illustrations. "Luc Tuymans b. 1958 is a painter engaged with "figuration" using imagery that he reworks in a critical or self-critical way. He combines images from various sources--photographs film stills mirror images--with a spare palette unexpected cropping and blurring to reinforce the painted image's status as a replica. Perhaps more than any other genre portraiture allows Tuymans to explore the balance between revealing and concealing and to comment on history and its perpetrators. Portraits. Luc Tuymans presents 35 paintings from bodies of work ranging over the artist's entire career. Most seem conventional portraits --Himmler 1997/98 A Flemish Intellectual 1995--but others such as Bloodstains 1993 and Fingers 1995 exhibit the artist's elliptical approach to re-presentation. Tuymans's canvases are placed in counterpoint to his selections from the Menil Collection: masks statuary and paintings from African ancient Mediterranean and Native American cultures as well as European figurative works. The assembly explores such themes as death and memorials ritual or religion power evildoers and altruism" the publisher. Menil Foundation; Yale unknown books

1935Best.-Nr. 215j3031U.K.: Constable & Co. Ltd. Good with no dust jacket. New Edition. Hardcover. "The biography of Gustav Stresemann 1878-1929 Germany's Foreign Minister from 1923 to 1929. The title highlights his 'race with death' to restore Germany's post-WW1 international standing and stabilize the Weimar Repubilc before dying of a stroke in 1929. His efforts centered on bringing Germany back into the international fold including the 1925 Locarno Pact and securing Germany's entrance into the League of Nations. He died just hours after lobbying the Reichstag to accept the 1929 Young Plan which aimed to restructure WWI reparations. He was frustrated by the limits of his power and Germany's volatile politics. His death at 51 just weeks before the Wall Street Crash created a leadership void that paved the way for political instability leading to the ultimate rise of Hitler. The book highlights his transition from wartime nationalist to proactive peace-oriented diplomat." - paraphrased from Google AI. 8 343 p. Frontis photo portrait of subject.

2001Best.-Nr. 1269New York: AAAS 2001. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION JOURNAL ISSUE IN ORIGINAL PRINTED WRAPS OF THE 1st PUBLICATION & ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE 1st COMPLETE GENOME SEQUENCE OF A LIVING SPECIES inclusive of Venter's poster of the genome sequence itself. The genome sequence of Haemophilus influenzae used a newly developed technique of whole-genome shotgun sequencing was 1.8 million base pairs in length and required 4 months of sequencing to produce. The entire issue is dedicated to the announcement of the sequencing of the human genome. Until March 2000 rival teams of scientists who had been working independently to map the complete sequence pooled their data: American-born biochemist-geneticist J. Craig Venter and his colleagues at Celera Genomics and working with a public consortium under the direction of the NIH known as the Human Genome Project HGP geneticist Francis Sellers. Together an amalgam of public and private researchers was able to successfully map and sequence the human genome. This issue includes initial analyses of the genome and genomic data as well as in-depth discussions of the implications of the results both at publication and into the future. Included with the issue is Venter's large folded poster depicting "the human genome chromosome after chromosome its major features color-coded and described. Black tick marks show the coding regions along orange blue pink and purple genes the colors reflecting the function of the corresponding proteins. All told some 2.9 billion bases of the genome are represented. For example while it took geneticists 7 years to find the gene involved in cystic fibrosis here it can be located in few seconds in the last third of chromosome; here the genes implicated in hereditary breast cancer BRCA1 can be found just as quickly on chromosome 17. 15 months prior to publication the positions of barely 10% were known; at publication 90% were represented with varying degrees of certainty" Pennisi The Human Genome Science 291 5507 2001. Each team of scientists employed a different technique. The NIH's Human Genome Project believed it too expensive to sequence the complete human genome. Instead they "adopted a 'shortcut' which was to look just at sites on the genome where many people have a variant DNA unit" Chan Biostatistics for Human Genetic Epidemiology 9-10. Essentially they "shredded the DNA of the whole genome into overlapping pieces sequenced the pieces and then reassembled them with powerful computers and sophisticated algorithms" Diamond Openness to Creative Destruction 25. "This is known as the 'hierarchical shotgun' approach because the genome is first broken into relatively large chunks which are then mapped to chromosomes before being selected for sequencing" Chan. The technique of sequencing the complete human genome that the HGP had vetoed as too expensive and "logically impossible" Venter and Celera then used and made work Diamond. Venter's team used a clone-by-clone technique by generating "a massive shotgun library derived from its own DNA sequence data combined with the "shredded" Human Genome Project DNA sequence data which together corresponded to a total of 43.32 million sequence reads Venter et al. 2001. Celera then used computational methods and sophisticated algorithms to identify overlapping DNA sequences and to reconstruct the human genome. And it was only the beginning. that "genome sequence was only 1.8 million base pairs in length and required 4 months of sequencing to produce. Five years later as a result of dramatic changes in automation and massively parallel DNA sequencing it was possible to sequence the human genome at 3 billion base pairs in only 9 months a >1000-fold improvement" Venter The Human Genome at 10 Science 33 2011 pp. 546.
