Jena u. Leipzig, bei Christian Ernst Gabler, 1798. 8vo. Recent hcalf. Gilt spine and with gilt lettering. (2),494 pp. The "Vorwort" lacking. A few underlining, otherwise fine. First edition of one of Fichte's most important works, the "System of Ethics" (or "System of a Theory of Morals"), which constitutes the second of his two main practical works. With this work the foundation of the practical side of Fichte's system is laid, and it represents one of the cornerstones of German idealism. (See PMM 224). "If Kant had opened up the path which German, and indeed all, philosophy was to take in the nineteenth century, the credit for the complete description of its subject-matter belongs to Fichte." (PMM 244, p. 148).Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762-1814) was of one of the founding thinkers of German idealism. He is considered a very important philosopher in at least two respects: 1) as the uniter of the ideas of the two great - Kant and Hegel -, and as an important philosopher in himself, who has contributed originally to the philosophy of the self. By some he is considered the father of German nationalism.

Copenhagen: Forlaget Rhodos, 1969. Original paper boards as issued. Unpaginated. Only minor wear to edges, and overall a very good, clean above average well preserved copy. More photos available upon request. Largely unknown 60s hip artist book by Danish photographer Flemming Arnholm and poet Klaus Rifbjerg: 'Fotografier og digte fra New York' ('Photographs and poems from New York'). Poems by Rifbjerg (in Danish) and photographs in black and white by Arnholm. Young photographer Flemming Arnholm went to New York in 1968 where he wrote articles and reviews on photography for a Danish photo magazine. In New York he met and interviewed Richard Avedon, Karsh, Irving Penn and other star photographers and during that period he shot the photos for this book. The book was arranged by Michael Malling (who did several outstanding and award winning graphic designs for books published by Rhodos) and the result was a highly unusual photo book object, a 2-way folded 'leporello' or accordion-book (it can be folded and placed in various ways) containing very fine photographs from New York late 1960's. It was chosen as one the 28 most important Danish photo books for the catalogue and exhibition '28 Danish Photographic Books' (2006) in connection with exhibition 'The Open Book' by The Hasselblad Centre (2004). The book unfolds in different ways and directions: one of the central panels unfolds vertically whereas the lateral panels unfold horizontally, allowing for different combination and juxtaposition of pictures. The panels can also be unfolded in ways that allow the book to take different geometric forms and to become a photobook-sculpture. First (and only) edition.

(New York, American Telephone and Telegraph Company, 1951). 8vo. Volume XXX, 1951 of The Bell System Technical Journal. Bound without the general title-page in a nice full green cloth. Library stamp to front free end-paper and first page of tables of contents. Very minor bumping to extremities. A tight and clean copy. Pp. 50-64. [Entire volume: 32, 1255 pp). First edition of Shannon's famous article in which he measures the entropy rate of English text to be between 1.0 and 1.5 bits per letter, or as low as 0.6 to 1.3 bits per letter."A new method of estimating the entropy and redundancy of a language is described. This method exploits the knowledge of the language statistics possessed by those who speak the language, and depends on experimental results in prediction of the next letter when the preceding text is known. Results of experiments in prediction are given, and some properties of an ideal predictor are developed." (From the introduction to the present article)."Natural languages are highly redundant; the number of intelligible fifty-letter English sentences is many fewer than 26*50, and the number of distinguishable ten-second phone conversations is far smaller than the number of sound signals that could be generated with frequencies up to 20.000 Hz. This immediately suggests a theory for signal compression. If you can recode the alphabet so that common sequences of letters and abbreviated, while infrequent combinations are spelled out in lengthy fashion, you can dramatically reduce the channel capacity needed to send the data." (Sethna, Statistical Mechanics: Entropy, Order Parameters and Complexity, Oxford University Press, 2006, pp. 100).
