Duke University Press, 1999. XII, 414 pages. With bw illustraions. Fine clean copy.  First edition. - In "The Seventies Now" Stephen Paul Miller (is) examining a wide range of political and cultural phenomena—from the long shadow cast by Richard Nixon and the Watergate scandal to Andy Warhol and the disco scene—identifying in these phenomena a pivotal yet previously unidentified social trend, the movement from institutionalized external surveillance to the widespread internalization of such practices. The concept of surveillance and its attendant social ramifications have been powerful agents in U.S. culture for many decades, but in describing how during the 1970s Americans learned to “survey” themselves, Miller shines surprising new light on such subjects as the women's movement, voting rights enforcement, the Ford presidency, and environmental legislation. He illuminates the significance of what he terms “microperiods” and analyzes relevant themes in many of the decade's major films—such as The Deer Hunter, Network, Jaws, Star Wars, and Apocalypse Now—and in the literature of writers including John Ashbery, Toni Morrison, Adrienne Rich, and Sam Shepard. In discussing the reverberations of the 1969 Stonewall riots, technological innovations, the philosophy of Michel Foucault (...).

New York: Grove Press / Bookthrift reprint (1963). Heavy hardcover, with worn jacket. XVIII, 983 pp. Foxing to endpapers and some wavyness to first pages else overall a solid and clean copy. Charming 1960's copy with jacket design by Roy Kuhlman. Komplet udgave af Frank Harris' erindringsværk 'My Life and Loves'. Værket var længe forbudt og skandaleombrust pga. de 'pornografiske' passager, hvor Harris beskriver sine elskerinder's og ikke mindst sine egne færdigheder som elsker. Reelt blev værket nok mest tilbageholdt pga. de skånselsløse beskrivelser af navngivne personer i den engelske overklasse, deres hor, stupiditet og uvidenhed. I dag står værket som et vigtigt og velskrevet erindringsværk fra det tidlige 20. århundrede.

In 1932, Marcel Duchamp published Opposition and Sister Squares Are Reconciled, a collaboration with chess champion Vitaly Halberstadt on endgames in chess. Ernst Strouhal's illustrated study approaches this volume as an "almost utopian treatise on chess endgames" and as a trilingual artist's book. Strouhal playfully yet validly demonstrates how Opposition and Sister Squares are Reconciled by M. Duchamp & V. Halberstadt (1932) not only comprises a rare, almost utopian treatise on chess endgames but is also a unique chess book for artists and an artist’s book for chess players.

Profile Books, London, 2013. Publishers hardcover, with jacket. XV, 382 pp. Fine unread copy. Prehistoric drummers used natural acoustics to recreate natural sound. In classical Europe, orators turned the human voice into a lyrical instrument. In Buddhist temples, the icons' ears were exaggerated to represent their spiritual power. And in modern metropolises we are battered by the roar of sound that surrounds us. In the first narrative history of the subject which puts humans at its centre, and following the author's major BBC Radio 4 series Noise, acclaimed historian David Hendy describes the history of noise - which is also the history of listening. As he puts it: 'By thinking about sound and listening, I want to get closer to what it felt like to live in the past.'This unusual book reveals fascinating changes in how we have understood our fellow human beings and the world around us. For although we might see ourselves inhabiting a visual world, our lives are shaped by our need to hear and be heard.

Georg D.W. Callwey München, 1961. Small slim 8vo in publishers hardcover. 105 pp. Illustrated. Text in German. Very good clean copy. 1. edition. - Tessenow (1876-1950) is considered together with Bruno Taut, Erich Mendelsohn, Walter Gropius and Mies van der Rohe one of the most important personalities of German architecture."Tessenow's basic ideas were expressed in his text Hausbau und Dergleichen, a very didactic book in which he goes over the basic and permanent issues of architecture, as well as presenting his projected work until 1916. One of the basic ideas is not to subtract from architecture the dignity that it has gained over the years. This argument was shared by the Italian architects who, during the fifties and after, defended the primordial importance of tradition in architecture, of the effort accumulated during centuries of experience and the distrust versus the experimentalist rhetorics who seek the formal renewal of architecture. Another basic idea is that of identifying craftwork with traditional bourgeois values. This leads him to give importance to the aspiration for order, loyalty and rigour as fundamental bourgeois values. Order, simplicity and clarity are also related to repetition as instruments used by simple people. This makes him tend towards a sort of primitive functionalism, a minimalist architecture that seeks to produce a strong and rich impression by means of repetition. In his books and his work, Tessenow always defended a rigorous research task of the essential forms: "The simplicity to which we aspire can represent the greatest richness, just as the formal variety that we have at our disposal can reveal itself as very poor". (JOSEP MARIA MONTANER).

Guggenheim Museum, 2008. 8vo in publishers hardcover, no jacket as issued. 254 pages. Illustrated in color. Some edgewear to bootom edge and lower corners, else well preserved and clean copy. 1st edition. "During the 1990s a number of artists claimed the exhibition as their medium. Working independently or in various collaborative constellations, they eschewed the individual object in favor of the exhibition environment as a dynamic arena, ever expanding its physical and temporal parameters. For these artists an exhibition can comprise a film, a novel, a shared meal, a social space, a performance or a journey. Their work engages directly with the vicissitudes of everyday life, offering subtle moments of transformation. This catalogue, which accompanies a major exhibition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, is the first in the U.S. to examine the dynamic interchange among a core group of these artists -- Angela Bulloch, Maurizio Cattelan, Liam Gillick, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Douglas Gordon, Carsten Höller, Pierre Huyghe, Jorge Pardo, Philippe Parreno and Rirkrit Tiravanija -- a many-sided conversation that helped shape the cultural landscape of the 1990s and beyond." (publisher) With a plethora of illustrative essays.
