The Amne Machin range runs in the general northwest-to-southeast direction in eastern Qinghai Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and the adjacent areas of the Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and the southwestern corner of Gansu's Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture. 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.

1937réf. 69051Leipzig: Verlag der Offizin Richard Hadl 1937. Rare offprint "separatum" from Artibus Asiae volume VII; 4to pp. 85 1; 16 mounted plates at the back a few illustrations in the text; first 2 leaves a bit toned else a very good sound copy in contemporary black wrappers printed paper label on upper cover. Rock 1884-1962 was "captivated by the ritual books he found in the possession of the Naxi religious specialists the 'dongba' while plant hunting in China's borderlands. Rock went on to devote the remaining years of his life to the translation of these books that contained such a treasure house of knowledge a corpus of literature that for Rock offered tantalising glimpses at the indigenous religion of pre-Buddhist Tibet. Rock a voracious autodidact appreciated an intellectual challenge: this was a script that by the time he first encountered it in the 1920s nobody had previously deciphered aside from some exploratory incomplete translations conducted via Chinese by French scholars and explorers. This vast corpus of ritual literature was essentially unexplored territory and this was where Rock liked to tread. Through his assiduous collecting and cataloguing and not without controversy he preserved thousands of these texts in collections now spread throughout the western world . While Rock's first published translations were no more than concise summaries of the stories he discovered within the Naxi manuscripts he later developed a more extensive anthropological style of translation. This meant recording in exacting detail the phonetic reading given by a dongba and then embarking upon a full written commentary. The first translation to use this method was published in 1937 as 'The birth and origin of Dto-mba Shilo the founder of Mo-so shamanism according to Mo-so manuscripts' a seminal work on Dobbaq-sheel'lo the mythical founding father of the dongba religion" see Poupard D.J.

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.

1965réf. 171321965. African American Education 2 original press photographs related to integrating Little Rock Central High School and the University of Alabama. n.d. 1957 1965. Silver gelatin print photographs 8 x 10". Both images include original typed press captions printed in image margins. Little Rock photo shows NAACP leaders including Daisy Bates reacting to positive court news.

The school is scheduled to open next Monday." Bates was an important figure in integrating schools and she hand-selected student called the Little Rock Nine who first integrated Central HS in 1957. Vivian Malone Jones was the first Black student to graduate from University of Alabama on May 30 1965. In the photograph she wears graduation cap and gown and smiles confidently at the viewer.

Malone was one of the first two African American students at the University in 1963. Malone earned her first bachelor's degree at Alabama A&M a historically black university but the school lost its accreditation after she graduated. 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. Then-governor George Wallace turned this event into a national event when he blocked the judge's ruling and declared his famous slogan "Segregation Now Segregation Forever." National Guard troops were brought in to ensure Malone could attend the University. Little Rock photo has light creases along top edge and bottom right corner not affecting image. Both in very good condition. 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
