The Anime Encyclopedia: A Guide to Japanese Animation Since 1917by Jonathan Clements, Helen McCarthyISBN 1933330104 (1-933330-10-4)
Softcover, Stone Bridge Pr
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Anime Encyclopedia: A Guide to Japanese Animation Since 1917'Book summary:In this important book, Jonathan Clements and Helen McCarthy present an enormous amount of information about 2,000 series and features, detailing their plots and relationships to other anime properties. In these areas, the book is definitive, and readers can only wish a comparable volume existed for American animation. The authors are less sure about non-Japanese influences (Cowboy Bebop owes more to noir detective films than to Route 66), and they focus more on storylines and the business of anime than on visuals. They don't discuss the influence of American Saturday morning TV on early anime designs (Speed Racer, the component series of Robotech) or the art nouveau styling in Revolutionary Girl Utena. The editorial evaluations are much harsher than McCarthy's The Anime Movie Guide: some of the most popular anime series in America--Tenchi, Evangelion, Ranma 1/2--receive sharp criticism. The result is a book that anime fans will either love or love to argue with. --Charles Solomon [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Art Nouveau'Book summary:[via]Art Nouveau crafts, architecture, and furniture designArt Nouveau, whose emergence at the same time as cinema was no mere coincidence, represents the most remarkable attempt to reconcile the demands of the technical age with the undying wish for beauty and glorificationor to pit them against the other.
Here the reform movement of the turn of the century is not only dealt with as an artistic event, but those economic and political interests which inspired, supported, and handicapped it are also taken into account. In the chapters "Movement," "Unrest", and "Equilibrium," the historical phenomenon as a whole is characterised and is also presented with its own distinct local features. The centres of Brussels, Nancy, Barcelona, Glasgow, Helsinki and Chicago are dealt with in subchapters as are Munich, Darmstadt and Weimar. Finally, Vienna, that city in which the synthesis achieved its culmination, is described separately. The outstanding artists are examined in detail in connection with the respective cities of their greatest activity. The result is a complex picture of the symbiosis of architecture, furniture design, and craftsmanship with their corresponding approaches to artistic revitalization.

Find This BookBook summary:No single volume sings the epic saga of the game with quite the rhythms of The Baseball Encyclopedia. Now in its 10th edition, the granddaddy of all sports reference books is, at just over eight pounds and 3000 pages, the National Pastime's weightiest tome. As all-seeing as Homer and Milton, as all-knowing as Shakespeare and Yeats, the encyclopedia finds its poetry in the rhythms of baseball's numbers. Every player--regardless of significance--is present, with all the essential statistics of his career. There are, no doubt, some soulless creatures who may open the encyclopedia and just see page after page of dry, meaningless, numbing data; the rest of us know better: 755, 714, 61, 511, .406, 1.12, and 4,256 are all self-contained dramas filled with tension, and inspiring awe. It is in these stats, and thousands more, that the mysteries of the game begin to reveal themselves. [via]

Dictionnaire De L'ethnologie Et De L'anthropologieby Michel Izard, Pierre BonteISBN 213044539X (2-13-044539-X)
Hardcover, Presses universitaires de France
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Dictionnaire De L'ethnologie Et De L'anthropologie'Book summary:Philosophes et historiens se penchent depuis longtemps sur la question des peuples et de la diversité culturelle. Il a pourtant fallu attendre l'investigation de terrain, l'immersion méthodique dans les sociétés étudiées, les monographies précises sur des peuples particuliers pour que cette question devienne l'objet d'une discipline autonome. L'ethnologie concrète sonna le glas de "l'anthropologie en chambre" des universités du XIXe siècle. Dès l'entre-deux-guerres, puis sous l'impulsion des travaux de Claude Lévi-Strauss, se constitua l'anthropologie moderne : liant l'enquête ethnographique à l'élaboration théorique, elle se donna un appareil notionnel précis grâce auquel les différentes écoles ont pu s'entendre et débattre sur les questions qui les opposaient.
Savoir jeune, en pleine croissance, l'anthropologie est suffisamment riche en résultats pour qu'il soit utile de faire le point, avec ce précieux dictionnaire, sur les positions respectives de chaque grand courant théorique, sur les questions débattues et sur l'état des recherches ethnographiques dans telle ou telle aire culturelle. Une synthèse indispensable et un ouvrage dont on n'a pas envie de sortir. --Émilio Balturi [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Gray's Anatomy'Book summary:The leg bone's connected to the hip bone, and so on. For many of us, anatomy can seem intimidating and unrewarding, but the right teacher can clear such feelings away in a heartbeat. Our fascination with our bodies is a powerful force, and once we start looking, we find that beauty is much more than skin-deep.
It so happens that the right teacher can take the form of a book. Gray's Anatomy is one of those few titles that practically everybody has heard of, and with good reason--it is a scientific and artistic triumph. Not just a dry index of parts and names, Gray's lets the natural beauty and grace of the body's interconnected systems and structures shine forth from the page. Using sumptuous illustrations and clear, matter-of-fact descriptions, Dr. Gray unleashed a classic on the world more than 100 years ago. Its clarity and usefulness keep it in print today. Whether you want to understand yourself or others, knowledge of our physical parts and how they fit together is essential. Gray's Anatomy provides that information in a simple, timeless format that cleanly dissects a body of knowledge grown over centuries. This book will not only fill the needs of people in the medical profession, but will please artists and naturalists as well. --Rob Lightner [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Natural Remedies'Book summary:This is an excellent reference book for alternative medicine, whether you're searching for a specific therapy to follow or you just want to view all the possible treatments for a specific ailment. The first half of the book breaks down alternative medicine into various schools of philosophy such as Ayurveda, Chinese herbal medicine, aromatherapy, and homeopathy. Each chapter provides a history of how the therapy developed, an illustrated explanation of the most common methods of treatment, advice on finding a qualified practitioner, and an exhaustive introduction to the therapy's most prominent herbs or other medicinal sources. These sections instruct you on how to use each type of herb or substance while offering cross-references to other therapies. For example, in the Chinese herbal chapter under ren shen, commonly known as ginseng, it not only tells you what to use it for and how, but also warns against side effects and refers you to similar uses in the herbalism chapter. The second half of the encyclopedia is divided into general areas, such as skin or respiratory problems, which are further broken down into individual ailments. If you want only one book to consult for your natural and alternative medical needs, this is among the most comprehensive and well written. [via]

It is the story of an eerily compelling madman pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopedia of whaling lore and legend, "Moby-Dick" is a haunting, mesmerizing, and important social commentary populated with several of the most unforgettable and enduring characters in literature. Written with wonderfully redemptive humor, "Moby- Dick" is a profound and timeless inquiry into character, faith, and the nature of perception. @greatwhitetale Call me Ishmael. You could call me something else if you want, but since that's my name, it would make sense to call me Ishmael. Captain obsessed with finding a whale called Moby Dick.

› Find signed collectible books: 'The New York Public Library Science Desk Reference'Book summary:Considering this volume is a mere 668 pages, it does a remarkable job of covering the major concepts and facts of biology, human anatomy, chemistry, physics, astronomy, Earth sciences, meteorology, environmental sciences, and engineering. Not surprising, as it was written by the New York Public Library staff who know what questions are most frequently asked by a knowledge-hungry public.
The ultimate test of such a reference volume is scrutiny of areas with which one is intimately familiar, then reading up on areas about which one is woefully ignorant. This book passed both tests: The biology chapter was sound (though I wanted much more information about evolutionary principles), and the section on particle physics was informative. Even if you already have a collection of several thousand books covering most of the sciences (like myself), this is a handy reference. And if you're a student or want access to a lot of scientific knowledge in the smallest possible non-digital package, this resource is essential for those times when you simply can't get to the library.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Typography, When, Who, How'Book summary:Text dt., engl. und franz. - Das Nachschlagewerk "Typographie - wann wer wie" bietet eine detaillierte und umfassende Übersicht über die gesamte alphabetische Kultur. Es schildert ausführlich die Geschichte der typographischen Stile und Moden -ausgehend von der unmittelbaren Gegenwart bis zurück zu ihren Ursprüngen. Im Hauptteil werden über 700 Typographen, Schriftentwerfer, Kalligraphen, Gestalter und Künstler - aber auch Schulen, Institutionen, Lehrer und Theoretiker - vorgestellt, die unser Schriftbild prägen. Im Schlußkapitel wird die Entwicklung der Werkzeuge - vom Faustkeil zum Computer - im Hinblick auf die verschiedenen typographischen Techniken beschrieben. Das Werk zeigt anschaulich in über 2.000 Abbildungen, daß Typographie ein einflußreicher Bestandteil unserer Kultur ist, und macht es zum Lexikon des gestalteten Wortes. The reference book "Typography - when who how" provides a comprehensive survey of the entire alphabetic culture. It chronicles in detail the story of typographic style and mode - starting with the present day and going back to the origins. The main section presents over 700 typographers, type designers, calligraphers, designers and artists, as well as schools, institutions, teachers and theorists, who have left their distinctive mark on typography. The final chapter describes the development of the tools - from the hand-ax to the Computer - in the context of diverse typographical techniques. Over 2,000 illustrations in this book graphically show that typography plays an influential role in society and make it a dictionary of the designed word. [via]
