A propos de cet article

Printed in Germany. First Printing. [Date and place from the copyright page.] 248 pages. The original leather covers are in excellent shape---full Morocco, with bright gilt lettering and decorative lines on the spine and just a touch of rubbing to the extreme edges. The interior is pristine; the paper is of a high quality and the essays contain much that is still pertinent today. The original slipcase is very good, with curved leather tips protecting the head and tail of the book's spine. A lovely copy. [Please see my 10 images of the actual book.] The Contributors include four Nobel laureates*: Erwin von Beckerath, *Adolf Butenandt, Hans Dolle, *Otto Hahn, Willy Richard Paul Hartner, *Werner Karl Heisenberg, *Richard Kuhn, Werner Schollgen, Helmut Thielicke. "All over the world reforms are decreed and decisions of a revolutionary character are made by men who, often enough, owe their power only to the accidental result of elections. And only as long as the laws of democracy still permit individual objection and [as long as] the mental resistance of the citizens of our democratic states is not yet broken, can these factors form a counterbalance to the precision of our organizations, which is becoming more and more deadly."---page 143 (Heisenberg) As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.…

Description de la boutique

The books listed here are, indeed, from my father's library, representing the depth and varied interests of a modern scholar's mind. Dr. Henry LeRoy Finch, professor emeritus of philosophy and a published author, trained in the classics (graduating top in his class at Yale), and went on to develop an appreciation for modern thinkers. It took over half-a-century to amass this collection of primarily-scholarly books with a broad range of subjects from Philosophy and Religion (with an emphasis on the interrelationships and intricacies of Eastern and Western Thinking) to scientific influences played out over the entire history of humankind, touching necessarily on Art, Anthropology, Archaeology, Literature, History of various Cultures, Psychology, Physics, and Spiritual Thought, including Theosophy and Mysticism. Many are esoteric philosophical works, out-of-print and unavailable elsewhere. A great number cover the interconnections of so many subjects as to defy classification. His was a working library: each volume was read and familiar, its whereabouts on a shelf always known, even when "double-parked." Though many of the books are esoteric, others will appeal to the general reader, often making an abstruse subject more approachable. (There are a hundred books on Einstein alone!) In addition, there are numerous paperbacks--classics, scholarly, first-published editions, several versions of the same book (in different translations), handy for packing along in a back pocket. Each of the volumes from the collection has a bookplate tipped in at the front and may have pencil marginalia--sparse or profuse. I have tried to reflect this in all the listings, but feel free to call and discuss further details of a book's condition. As it will take a long time to write up all the descriptions, some of you may wish to call and ask about a particular book you have been seeking. Meanwhile, I'll try to keep an eye on the "Wants" list. Thank you for visiting this page. I hope my father's books will eventually find happy homes; it was one of his last wishes.…
