Gottingen: Steidl, 2003. First Edition. Essay and editing by Urs Odermatt. Small folio. Black cloth. Fine in Fine dust jacket. Text in German, French and English.

With thoroughness and meticulous attention to detail, Swiss police officer Arnold Odermatt photographed automobile accidents on the streets of the Swiss Canton Nidwalden, documenting accident scenes and property damage during his 40-year career. In his photos the drivers have gone and the victims have been removed. All thats left are the wrecked cars that tell the stories of excessive speed, drunk driving, right-of-way errors and plain foolishness. The de-formed steel takes on a malleable quality. The cars become sculptures that show the sudden end to many hopes and dreams, the intrusion of the unforeseen into well-regulated daily life. What results from the picture-taking policeman's official work is a selection of melancholic, sometimes funny and always strange atmospheric photos of our mobile society.

Berlin:: [s.n.], 1796., 1796. 19 cm. Small 8vo. xvi, 462 pp. Dedicated to Johann Heinrich Fischer. Original plain paper over boards, later paper spine tag; rubbed. Some offsetting of ink from an ownership inscription. Very good copy. This is a treatise on the diseases of children and their physical education. It contains sixteen chapters. The work treats nutrition, care of the newborn and infant, wet-nursing, breastfeeding, weaning and the foundling hospital. One section details twenty-six health issues or diseases of infants (including sores, limping, bowed legs, teething, redness, coughing, etc.). There are two issues of this book from 1794 and 1796. We have the 1796 issue, which has a longer pagination and wherein the publisher’s name is not given - noting that H.A. Rottmann was publisher of the first issue of 1794. / Abt-Garrison has nothing good to say about this author of St. Gall, Switzerland. ?. . . a vain, disputatious and somewhat superficial writer, who was one of the opponents of the… Read More

Description:
Routledge, 1990. 8vo size trade paperback; 390 pages including index From back: "This is a unique study, continuing the work of Merleau-Ponty and Heidegger, and using the techniques of phenomenology against the prevailing nihilism of our culture. It expands our understanding of the human potential for spiritual self-realization by interpreting it as the developing of a bodily-felt awareness informing our gestures and movements. The author argues that a psychological focus on our experiences of well-being and pathology as embodied beings contribute significantly to a historically relevant critique of idealogy. It also provides an essential touchstone in experience for a fruitful individual and collective response to the dangers of nihilism." Edgewear, moderate wear to covers with sunned spine; marginalia, underlining and very light highlighting on least 58 pages prior to page 107; two previously folded page corners, some stray ink marks on outside pages.
