Etat : Good. Investigations into the work of Copernicus It is the story of the author's search for original early editions of Copernicus' work, and in particular the early impact it had on European science as shown by the marginal notes made by early readers Gingerich is thus illustrating the practice of historical research by studying who had the books, what they wrote in or about the book, and how it related to the evolution of scientific thought It also provides the story of tracking down copies to study, where they are now housed around the world Much of this work was done ~50 years ago around the time of the 500th anniversary of Copernicus' birth, and involved travel to libraries behind the Iron Curtain where Copernicus lived and worked".…

Perfect Bound Soft Cover. Etat : This is a new book. First published in 1994, Robert Glück's Margery Kempe is one of the most provocative, poignant, and inventive American novels of the last quarter century. The book tells two stories of romantic obsession. One, based on the first autobiography in English, the medieval Book of Margery Kempe, is about a fifteenth-century woman from East Anglia, a visionary, a troublemaker, a pilgrim to the Holy Land, and an aspiring saint, and her love affair with Jesus. It is complicated. The other is about the author's own love for an alluring and elusive young American, L. It is complicated. Between these two Margery Kempe, the novel, emerges as an unprecedented exploration of desire, devotion, abjection, and sexual obsession in the form of a novel like no other novel. Robert Glück's masterpiece bears comparison with the finest work of such writers as Kathy Acker and Chris Kraus. This edition includes an essay by Glück about the creation of the book titled "My Margery, Margery's Bob.".…

Perfect Bound Soft Cover. Etat : This is a new book. Few writers had to confront as many of the last century's mass tragedies as Vasily Grossman, who wrote with terrifying clarity about the Shoah, the Battle of Stalingrad, and the Terror Famine in the Ukraine. An Armenian Sketchbook, however, shows us a very different Grossman, notable for his tenderness, warmth, and sense of fun. After the Soviet government confiscated-or, as Grossman always put it, "arrested"-Life and Fate, he took on the task of revising a literal Russian translation of a long Armenian novel. The novel was of little interest to him, but he needed money and was evidently glad of an excuse to travel to Armenia. An Armenian Sketchbook is his account of the two months he spent there. This is by far the most personal and intimate of Grossman's works, endowed with an air of absolute spontaneity, as though he is simply chatting to the reader about his impressions of Armenia-its mountains, its ancient churches, its people-while also examining his own thoughts and moods. A wonderfully human account of travel to a faraway place, An Armenian Sketchbook also has the vivid appeal of a self-portrait.…
