Scientific American Jan - Jun 1900: A Weekly Journal of Practical Information, Art, Science, Mechanics, Chemistry and Manufactures

  • Used
  • Hardcover

416 Pages.
This compilation of the weekly editions of the magazine, Scientific American from January 1 through the end of June in the year 1900 is full of fascinating aged items. The exterior of this over 100-year-old book has 2 slightly worn corners and 2 worn corners, very worn areas at the top and bottom of the spine, lightly worn areas on the other edges, a small white paint area on the bottom left of the closed book's page edge, worn areas along the spine's left vertical edge and a very worn and stained area on the back cover's right side and small spots and worn areas on the front and back cover. The interior of this large volume has the remnants of what was a sticker inside the front cover, small tears or pieces missing in various places throughout, the erased remains of a name on each week's edition's front top right corner, and is missing page 277-278. Outside of these distractions, all of the pages' printing, illustrations, and photographs are in a very well-preserved and thus enjoyable condition. For a 100+-year-old volume, this book's interior was pretty carefully preserved.

This volume will be carefully wrapped up, padded, and then boxed and sent right away to you from here in New Jersey, and will come to you with our absolute appreciation for your interest in this and for your order. Due to the book's weight (over 6 lbs) and size, there may be additional postage needed depending upon where and how shipped.

Description:
London: Adam and Charles Black, 1911. The provenence of this antiquarian volume is what makes this book unique. Pasted to the inside cover is the bookplate of Louis Agassiz Shaw, co-inventor (along with Philip Drinker) of the iron lung in 1928. 394 lightly tanned pages followed by several pages of publisher advertisements. Some rubbing wear to maroon cover. We noted some red pencil marks to equations on page 175. Some mild foxing to endpapers. A poor quality rubber cement repair has been made to inside cover and title page, so residue is visible on the seams of those pages and title page does not open flat. Shaw bookplate has caused a darkened area the shape of the bookplate, paste residue on bookplate. Small green stamp on fep, penciled price, penciled price on page v. Rubber cement residue on inside seem of back cover. Small blemish on back cover.

Description:
97 - 127 Seiten. Die Monatsschrift "Esra" erstrebte, wie es in einer Ankündigung heißt, "die Verknüpfung des jüdischen Intellektuellen mit der Entwicklung und mit dem Geschehen seines Volkes". "Esra" verstand sich als Forum zur kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit den Leistungen des offiziellen Zionismus.

Die Zeitschrift stand der 'Jüdischen Renaissance' nahe und zielte darauf, vor allem den assimilierten Kreisen des Westjudentums genuin jüdische, vornehmlich osteuropäische Kulturtraditionen zu vermitteln.
