1955ref. 88623Moscow: Foreign Languages Publishing House 1955. First Edition. First printing. 12mo. Pictorial card wrappers with French flaps; 85pp; illus. Trivial rubbing to covers; still a tight unmarked Near Fine copy. A bit of show-off Cold War propaganda touting the achievements of Russian engineering - in this case a completely automated plant producing automotive pistons on the campus of the "Experimental Machine-Tool Research Institute." The achievements of the Soviet machine-tool industry are perhaps a trifle overblown here - but two years later Sputnik would prove that the USSR's scramble for technological and scientific relevance was anything but a pipe-dream. Uncommon; OCLC notes fewer than ten locations worldwide but only one in North America U. Mich. Foreign Languages Publishing House unknown

1981ref. 101H0701U.S.A.: The MIT Press 1981. Book. Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 410 pages. Index. Reproductions of black and white photos. Printed upon glossy stock. "The essays make the case that historically many advances and discoveries regarding metals and ceramics came about through aesthetic curiosity and the desire to improve works of fine and decorative art rather than through scientific investigation or in response to the need for products having practical utility. Other essays deal with the emerging understanding of the remarkable properties of steel the positive uses of corrosion ancient casting and molding techniques and the connection between attempts to reproduce oriental porcelain in Europe and modern geological ideas. Still others are more philosophical in approach." - from dust jacket. Includes bibliography of the author's works. Average wear to unmarked book. Binding intact.
