Utrecht: Epsilon Uitgaven, 2005 8vo (23.5 cm), XIV, 140 pp. Laminated wrappers. A history of mathematics in the twentieth Century. "Er is niemand meer die de wetenschap of zelfs uitsluitend de wiskunde overziet en het valt te betwijfelen of deze relatieve versmalling van onze kennis goed is voor het ’wetenschappelijk discours’ en voor de maatschappij als geheel. De poging van Odifreddi om de hele ontwikkeling van de wiskunde in de twintigste eeuw te overzien kan dus haast niet slagen. Maar de tekst bevat wel enorm veel informatie zowel over zuivere als over toegepaste wiskunde; de poging is echt interessant en deze kan zeker een uitgangspunt zijn voor veel discussie. Hopelijk heeft het boek een remmende invloed op de versnippering van de wiskunde." (from the blurb)

His travel diaries and letters are filled with descriptions of classical sites, drawings of buildings and statues, and copies of hundreds of Latin and Greek inscriptions. This volume presents letters and diaries from 1443 to 1449, the period of his final voyages, which took him from Italy to the eastern shore of the Adriatic, the Greek mainland, the Aegean islands, Anatolia and Thrace, Mount Athos, Constantinople, the Cyclades, and Crete."

SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering, 2019 4to (25.5 cm), XIII, 240 pp. Laminated wrappers. "This book discusses the principles and the latest progress of silicon optical modulators as cutting-edge integrated photonic devices on silicon-photonic platforms, which play key roles in modern optical communications with low power consumption, small footprints, and low manufacturing costs. Silicon Mach-Zehnder optical modulators are emphasized as the principal small-footprint optical modulator because of their superior performance in high-speed optical modulation at operational temperatures beyond 100 degrees Celsius without power-consuming thermo-electric cooling in spectral bands over 100 nm." (publisher's description)

Kodansha International, 1982 Folio (37 cm), 48 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "The last great master of the Japanese tradition of woodblock printing known as ukiyo-e was Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858). In the Japan of his day, Hiroshige's landscape prints, deeply poetic, genial, intimate, fostered in the common man a new appreciation for nature in art. To such Western artists as Whistler, Cézanne and Gaugun, his work presented a vision of nature that was revolutionary." (from the publisher's description)

"The tools used by binders to decorate the covers of a book are of three types -- small stamps, rolls and panels. The first two are impressed by hand; the third by a press. In his "English Blind-Stamped Bindings", Mr Oldham classified and illustrated the impressions made on English bindings with stamp and roll-tools. This companion volume gives the same treatment to panels, reproducing all that are known, and giving them intelligible system of classification". (from the publisher's description)

Washington: National Gallery of Art, 2008 4to (28.5 cm), 279 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (minor shelf-wear, bookplate). "Making knowledge visible" is how one 16th-century naturalist described the work of the illustrator of botanical treatises. Presenting images found throughout Europe in works on natural history, medicine, botany, horticulture, and garden design, and studies of insects, birds, and animals, the contributors emphasize their artistic as well as scientific values. Illustrators are shown to have been both artists and either naturalists or gardeners, bringing to their work aesthetic judgment and empirical observation. Their fascinating images receive a fresh, wide-ranging analysis that covers such topics as innovation, patronage, readership, reception, technologies of production, and the relationship between the fine arts and scientific depictions of nature.
