1998Best.-Nr. 1696London: Macmillan & Sons 1998. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS OF THE LANDMARK DISCOVERY OF RNA INTERFERENCE RNAi A FUNDAMENTAL MECHANISM OF GENE REGULATION. RNAi became both a major research tool and a new class of therapeutics. In terms of impact on biology medicine and biotechnology this paper is considered a foundational discovery not just an incremental advance. Fire and Mello won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine IN 2006 just eight years after publication unusually fast recognition for how transformative it was. Prior to Fire and Mello's paper researchers knew that injecting antisense RNA into C. elegans could sometimes silence genes but the effect was often weak inconsistent and poorly understood. Fire and Mello showed that the actual trigger was double-stranded RNA dsRNA not single-stranded antisense RNA as had been assumed. They found that dsRNA was far more potent than either sense or antisense strands alone effective at just a few molecules per cell that it could silence genes with striking specificity that the effect could spread between cells and even to offspring and that it worked catalytically rather than stoichiometrically - implying an amplification mechanism. The discovery that RNAi is a natural evolutionarily conserved gene-regulation and antiviral defense mechanism found across plants animals and fungi. The rapid development of RNAi as a laboratory tool for knocking down specific genes to study their function - now a standard technique in virtually every molecular biology lab.

1968Best.-Nr. 233001968. Fire destruction of Trinity United Methodist Church on South 2nd Street in Clearfield Pennsylvania photographed during the active overnight blaze of December 21 1968 in a dramatic sequential record of one of the borough's largest twentieth century urban fires. The archive captures the church while fully engulfed preserving flames erupting through the roofline smoke pouring from the arcaded façade hose streams striking the structure from darkened streets and the silhouette of the church tower rising above the fire. The photographs record not only the destruction of a major downtown religious landmark led at the time by Rev. Oliver H. R. Krapf but also the operational reality of late 1960s volunteer firefighting systems in small town Pennsylvania where borough police volunteer companies ladder apparatus hydrant pressure and regional mutual aid networks were rapidly assembled in an effort to contain a spreading structural fire. The blaze was first spotted around 2:10 a.m. by taxi driver Billy Knepp after which Fire Chief William Swisher summoned neighboring companies to prevent the fire from spreading beyond the church into the surrounding civic center. Photo archive of 16 silver gelatin photographs mounted to a large cardstock sheet measuring approximately 20" x 14" each image roughly 3.5" x 5" Clearfield Pennsylvania December 1968. Each photograph is numbered by hand from 1 to 16 and together they function almost cinematically moving through different stages and vantage points of the firefight. The images center the church's cut stone arcades and bell tower as bright interior firelight blows outward through the large arched openings and flames tear across the roof structure above. Several photographs show powerful hose streams cutting diagonally across the frame toward the burning façade while others pull back into wider nighttime street scenes where bare winter trees utility poles parked cars wet pavement and gathered onlookers remain visible beneath smoke and reflected firelight. One frame includes a firefighter seen from behind at street level facing the inferno while another captures a bicyclist or passerby entering the foreground as the church burns behind him. Multiple views emphasize the repetition of the long arcade row transforming the church exterior into a glowing sequence of arches illuminated by active fire inside the structure. The resulting series preserves not only the destruction itself but the visual atmosphere of the emergency response: steam smoke glare darkness reflective pavement and shifting vantage points from the surrounding streets as firefighters attempted to control the blaze. The archive is especially significant as documentation of pre modernized municipal fire response during a period when Pennsylvania boroughs depended heavily on intercompany volunteer assistance for major structural fires. The identified responding companies from Lawrence Township Hyde Curwensville Philipsburg and Chester Hill gives the group great specificity within the history of regional mutual aid firefighting networks. At the same time the photographs preserve the loss of an architecturally prominent early twentieth century Methodist church before widespread sprinkler retrofitting and later fire protection standards transformed many American religious and civic structures in the decades that followed. Mount toning with expected contrast loss and glare in several high intensity night exposures. Overall good condition. unknown

1889Best.-Nr. 11467Seattle: Journal Publishing Co 1889. First Edition. Single leaf. Good. 11 x 18 in. P. 1 printed recto only. Age toned single mellowed horizontal crease five-inch vertical closed tear from the top edge with aged cello tape repair verso small edge chips. Single-page issue of the short-lived Seattle Morning Journal published the day after the fire leading with the headline: "IN ASHES Seattle Sorely Visited by Fearful Fire." With their headquarters destroyed the Journal staff had temporarily moved into the printing office of Benjamin Baker Dearborn. While the competing but long-established Post-Intelligencer on the same day incorrectly attributed the origin of the fire to an overturned glue pot in McGaugh's sign shop the Journal reports here "It is learned that the fire started in the carpenter shop under the sign works. A workman was melting glue with a gasoline lamp and the lamp exploded." This report has withstood historical scrutiny but has gone unrecognized. Seattle's commercial Daily Trade Journal was started in 1888 but within a year had changed owners dropped "Trade" from its name and expanded focus to include daily local events. The Seattle Directory for 1889 lists the editor as E. W. S. Tingle. While the self-described Democratic-leaning paper survived the Great Fire the paper was only printed into the mid-1890s.Meany Newspapers of Washington Territory 48-49.

1912Best.-Nr. 177181912. Fire department photo album ca 1912 a visual record of early motorized firefighting that documents the transition from horse drawn apparatus to mechanized emergency response in California. The album centers on a small town department identified by the uniform insignia "CCFD" capturing a moment when motor vehicles were beginning to replace traditional equipment even as many larger cities still relied on horse drawn engines. The presence of specialized vehicles and organized crews reflects the modernization of municipal and volunteer fire services in the early twentieth century as departments adopted new technologies to improve response speed and operational capacity. Photo album containing 42 silver gelatin photographs housed in original string bound black leather covers. Images depict firefighters posed with motorized apparatus including vehicles associated with Kissel an early automobile manufacturer known for producing service and utility vehicles. Several photographs show crews at fire scenes alongside the charred remains of structures while others document equipment group portraits and operational contexts. One loose photograph bears the caption "This Rig is used for carrying back dirty hose. The other three are useless" providing a candid comment on equipment function and intra crew perspective. Additional imagery includes a woman seated on a Kissel automobile indicating the broader presence of early motor vehicles within the community. The album documents a transitional phase in firefighting history when mechanization reshaped emergency services reducing reliance on animal power and enabling more complex logistical coordination. Departments adopting motorized equipment during this period often represented early adopters of automotive technology within their communities and their visual documentation provides insight into both technological change and local organization of public safety. The combination of posed and candid images captures both formal representation and everyday practice within a fire brigade adapting to new tools and methods. Covers show light wear with secure string binding; photographs remain clear and well preserved. Overall very good condition. unknown
