[Russia],: 1953, 1953. Small folio. 10.5 x 11.75 inches. Not paginated. 59 original mounted photographs, with text referencing each photograph and additional text material. Original gilt-stamped maroon cloth; a touch of wear, some soiling to fore-edge, embossed stamp of Carnegie Institution [HALE]. Very clean and well preserved. No copy in WordCat. RARE. 59 ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHS OF NEBULAE. First and only edition of this large atlas volume of original photographs with accompanying text compiled by V. G. Fesenkov and D.A. Rozhkovsky who pioneered studying the gaseous nebulae. These are the leading Russian astrophysicists of their time who were the first to make a photographic "Atlas of Gas and Dust Nebulae" in trying to understand the "evolution of structure of nebulae, turbulent phenomena in interstellar clouds and in the vicinity of hot stars." / "In 1950, academician V. G. Fesenkov and D.A. Rozhkovsky began a detailed study of gas-dust galactic nebulae. A large collection of original photographs of them, over 700 negatives, made it possible to prepare and publish in 1953, for the first time in the USSR, the Atlas of Gas and Dust Nebulae, in which reproductions of several dozen nebulae and their individual details were presented. The purpose of this work was to study the evolution and structure of nebulae, turbulent phenomena in interstellar clouds and in the vicinity of hot stars. High-quality photographs of the atlas clearly illustrated a peculiar panorama of the fine structure of objects formed by the radiation of ionized gas and made it possible to reveal dust scattering the light of stars. The atlas contained new, very useful information and stimulated the interest of astronomers in observing nebulae." / "A detailed study of a large observational material allowed D.A. Rozhkovsky to discover about 30 new diffuse nebulae."

Description:
Against a stark horizon in a harsh climate, settlers in Nebraska everywhere erected monuments to their optimism. The buildings pictured in Dreams in Dry Places are not just famous landmarks like the State Capitol but also humble farmhouses, barns, grain elevators, courthouses, banks, churches, stores, and theaters. They represent every kind of architecture to be found in Nebraska--folk, high-style, commercial, residential, pioneer, and modern; the unexpected and the familiar, the poetic and the prosaic, good and bad. Caught by Roger Bruhn's camera, these structures always suggest the spiritual resources of their builders and inhabitants, who struggled for a livelihood on the Great Plains.Dreams in Dry Places has an architecture of its own, beginning and ending with images of the natural landscape and in between revealing unexpected continuities among disparate structures and settings, juxtapositions of forms, and the vanities and vagaries of architectural style. Exterior and interior shots are…
