Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The White Rose (die Weisse Rose) was the name given to a resistance circle at the University of Munich in the early 1940s whose members secretly wrote and distributed anti-Nazi pamphlets. At its heart were undergraduate students, including Hans Scholl, Sophie Scholl, Christoph Probst, Alexander Schmorell, Willi Graf, and Professor Kurt Huber, all of whom were executed in 1943 by the Nazi regime. The youngest among them was just twenty-one years old. Defying Hitler presents the White Rose resistance pamphlets in full, translated by modern-day students at the University of Oxford. These translations are the result of work by undergraduate students around the same age as the original White Rose authors.

Hardcover. Condizione: VG. Light shelfwear/bumping. Quarto. Hardcover. Illustrated boards. No jacket, as issued. 79 pages : illustrations (chiefly colour) ; 27 cm. William Henry Fox Talbot, the English inventor of photography, created around 15,000 photographs in the nineteenth century, most of them attempts to produce compelling scientific documents or pictorial records of the world around him. However, among those that have survived are also prints in which an image has been obscured, obliterated or simply failed to register. Borrowing its intriguing title from a poem written by Talbot, this book features twenty-four of these prints, his most experimental photographs. Originally intended as test prints or creative exercises, all that remains on these shaped pieces of photographic paper are chemical stains or imprinted patterns or shapes. Offered to the reader as enigmatic physical artefacts, these failed or ruined photographs are here reanimated as objects of beauty, mystery and promise, as artworks that speak of photography's most fundamental attributes and potentials.An accompanying essay illustrated with comparative images places these photographs in a broad historical context leading up to the present, revealing what relevance Talbot's experiments have to contemporary concepts of the art of photography. -- publisher's statement.…

Laminated illustrated wrappers with flaps, 4to, 29 cm, 360 pp, profusely illustrated, chiefly in colour. Published to accompany an exhibition held at the Morgan Library and Museum, New York, 6 June - 14 Sept. 2014, and the Bodleian Library, Oxford, 21 Mar. - 20 Sept. 2015. From the blurb:- "Genius is the mysterious pinnacle of human creativity, a gift that cannot be acquired through dedication and hard work. And while genius is difficult to define, we all recognize that elusive quality when we encounter it. This book, and the exhibition it accompanies, examines the various meanings of genius, from its ancient origins to its modern meaning. The Bodleian's unparalleled collection contains many manifestations of genius, whether the creative brilliance of Shakespeare or Mendelssohn, or the scientific innovation of Robert Hooke or Dorothy Hodgkin. Books and manuscripts which are works of art in their own right are a reminder that genius is not necessarily solitary and self-sufficient; it can equally be collaborative, and is always embedded in the tastes and traditions of its time. Marks of Genius also considers the relationship between genius and learning, and in particular explores ways in which the works of genius found in a university library can be acquired, collected and read. The re-founding of the University Library in Oxford by Sir Thomas Bodley in 1602 was itself an act of genius that had a profound effect on the world of scholarship. Four hundred years on, the Bodleian Library is an institution through which traces of genius run like a golden thread. If the various forms the character of genius has taken over the centuries have anything in common, it is that they celebrate the variety and creativity of human beings. From Euclid, Dante, Kafka and Handel to Einstein, Austen and Gandhi - and including such iconic pieces as Magna Carta and the Gutenberg Bible - Marks of Genius pays tribute to some of the most remarkable testimonies of genius in human history." Principal contents comprise: Preface, by Richard Ovenden; Foreword, by Toby Blackwell; Blackwell's and the Bodleian, by Reg Carr; The genius of Sir Thomas Bodley : the Bodleian LIbrary, by Richard Ovenden; The character of genius, by Stephen Hebron; Catalogue: Part 1.
