1992réf. 219601992. Underground Music Indie Rock Zines Edited and largely written by Scott Rutherford the zine reflects a unique moment in American subcultural publishing when punk indie rock and vintage car culture collided in the DIY scene. Three issues of Speed Kills! a hybrid indie rock and automotive zine published in Chicago in the early 1990s. Each issue is a vivid chronicle of underground musical and visual culture with strong regional ties to Chicago and national relevance through its coverage of touring bands and scenes. The archive includes issues #2 Spring 1992 #5 and #7 all printed in black-and-white with screen-printed or offset color covers each approximately 8.5 x 11 inches. 1 Rutherford Scott ed. Speed Kills! No. 2. Chicago: Self-published 1992. This early issue includes coverage of the Richmond band Breadwinner East Coast drag racing the Australian noise-punk group Cosmic Psychos and a profile of Detroit drag legend Ed "Big Boss Man" Milhizer. As noted on the cover the zine delivers "Breadwinner! Unrest! Cosmic Psychos! Drag Racing! Lotsa Reviews!" The editorial notes refer to coverage from the "'92 Bedroom Nats" combining punk show reportage with drag strip atmosphere. The design incorporates full-bleed photo reproductions hand-lettering and found collage. 2 Rutherford Scott ed. Speed Kills! No. 5. Chicago: Self-published 1993. This issue includes a contributor list of more than two dozen names from the underground music and zine world including members of Gaunt Cherubs Pitchblende Don Caballero and Steadkaddy Six. The zine comes with a bonus 7" record featuring Gaunt and includes a faux-survey titled "Favorite Car Survey Yes." Interviewees include Merge Records co-founder Laura Ballance and record engineer Steve Albini who describes his favorite ride as "any van with over 250000 miles." One page advertises a music zine marketplace with the slogan "your needle is distorting sound by as much as 85%" blending fidelity humor with hardline DIY ethics. 3 Rutherford Scott ed. Speed Kills! No. 7. Chicago: Self-published 1994. Labeled the "Art & Science Special" this issue includes a piece titled "Futurism: Proto Punk" by Karen Pinkus linking early 20th-century Italian Futurism with the energy and aesthetic of punk rock. Includes contributions by indie rock standouts like Mac McCaughan Superchunk and Rachel Brook Flying Saucer Attack . A profile of the band Unwound is presented under the title "smashing the work ethic OR everyday is yesterday" while reviews cover artists including Don Caballero Cherubs and Labradford. The layout remains resolutely cut-and-paste incorporating xerox collage screen print textures and handwritten text. Speed Kills was a Chicago-based fanzine launched in 1991 by editor Scott Rutherford uniquely blending the worlds of underground indie rock and vintage drag racing culture. Emerging during a time when fanzines served as vital connectors within DIY music communities Speed Kills stood out by juxtaposing interviews and reviews of bands like Nirvana Pavement and Superchunk with in-depth features on 1960s drag racing legends and hot rod culture. Its pages often featured hand-screened covers vintage auto parts advertisements and detailed discussions on car mechanics reflecting a deep enthusiasm for both music and automotive subcultures. This fusion offered readers a tactile and immersive experience highlighting the shared spirit of creativity and rebellion in both scenes. Light toning to page edges. Minor staple rust and occasional handling creases. Covers bright and intact. Overall very good condition. Speed Kills! stands as a rare and distinctive zine that merged the grease-stained Americana of hot rod nostalgia with the avant-garde ethos of noise rock and punk embodying the collision of speed sound and subculture in the 1990s musical underground. unknown books
1885réf. 140841885. Dome of the Rock interior nineteenth century records the exposed Foundation Stone at the center of one of Jerusalem's principal sacred monuments. Completed in 691-692 CE under the Umayyad caliph Abd al-Malik the Dome of the Rock stands on the Haram al-Sharif or Temple Mount a site central to Islamic and Jewish sacred traditions and also closely connected with Christian biblical history. The photograph preserves the relationship between the Rock itself and the architectural enclosure constructed around it more than a millennium earlier. Albumen print measuring 11" x 8.5" unmounted. The Foundation Stone occupies the foreground while columns arches and the decorated interior rise behind it. The surrounding colonnades are faced with marble in their lower sections with mosaic ornament above allowing the photograph to record both the irregular natural surface of the Rock and the elaborate architectural treatment of its enclosure. Jewish tradition associates the Temple Mount with the First and Second Temples and identifies the Rock with the site of the Holy of Holies; the Second Temple was destroyed by Roman forces under Titus in 70 CE. Islamic tradition connects the Rock with Muhammad's Night Journey and ascent to heaven while traditions associated with Abraham's attempted sacrifice also attach sacred meaning to the site. The Dome of the Rock occupies the Haram al-Sharif alongside the Al-Aqsa Mosque and other religious and educational buildings. Nineteenth century photographs of its interior recorded spaces that were considerably less accessible to many Western travelers than Jerusalem's exterior monuments while the albumen process circulated such views through the expanding photographic market for images of the Holy Land. Very good condition. A detailed nineteenth century interior view centered on the Foundation Stone and the marble and mosaic architectural decoration surrounding it. unknown books

Rock Honorary Research Associate Far Eastern and Russian Institute University of Washington is one of the great explorers of the last half of the 20th century. He "was first sent to China in the early 1920s by the United States Department of Agriculture U.S.D.A. to collect seeds of a tree that later were used in the treatment of leprosy. His explorations resulted in the introduction of conifers rhododendrons 493 species potentilla and primula to the U.S. Nonetheless biographer Hubert Rhodes wrote in 1956 that Rock's collection process - collecting all plants not just searching for exotics - had important implications and opened possibilities for reforestation in North America's severest northern climates. Rock also introduced blight-resistant chestnuts. He deposited a sizable collection of birds and mammals at the U.S. National Museum the Arnold Arboretum and Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology. During his later years botanizing back in Hawaii in the 1950s Rock noted ominously that many native species he had collected earlier in his career had vanished completely . His efforts in linguistics are widely recognized; he spent years collecting and translating 8000 volumes of original Naxi literature including their religious tracts" Hunt Botanical Institute website.

To get an accredited degree Malone applied to the University of Alabama's School of Commerce and Business Administration and won a lawsuit over the segregationist admission policies.

A membership flyer printed in April of 1958 published as part of a fundraising drive around the Little Rock Nine.
