‎Francis Al s‎

‎, Phaidon, 2019 Hardcover, 240 pages, ENG edition, 300 x 260 x 27 mm, As Good as New, dustjacket, illustrated in colour. ISBN 9780714875002.‎

‎A leaking can of paint in hand, the artist strolls out of the gallery and drifts aimlessly through the cay, leaving a tral of colour as he goes. So what kind of artwork is the Leak (1995) ? , In one sense it's a painting, but a painting too large for any museum. It's also a performance, though one without an audience. Perhaps most of all, it's an invitation to take the artist's line for a walk, to explore the same path through the city, to breathe the same air and take in the same sights - and in so doing, to eliminate once and for all the division separating art from life. With humour, sensitivity and an acutely personal connection to his subject matter, Francis Al s examines the patterns of various urban sites before weaving his own fables into their tangled social fabric From that point onward, the fables take on a life of their own . A scene as such as a Volkswagen Beetle struggling up a hill in Tijuana (Rehearsal, 1999-2001), a man pushing a block of Ice in Mexico City (Paradox of Prams 1, 1997) or chasing a tornado in the desert (Tornado, 2000-10), or a group of children playing in the streets of Kabul (Reel-Unreel, 2011) can carry, a message that resonates far beyond the work's simple parameters. As the subbtle of his walking piece The Green Line (2004) puts it, "Sometimes doing something poetic can become political, and sometimes doing something political can become poetic". Originally from Belgium but based for the last thirty years in Mexico City, Francis Al s is a truly international artist who has realized works in such diverse locations as Baghdad, Copenhagen, Kabul, Lima, Jerusalem and Tanger. His work has also been exhibited at the world's top museums - including Tate Modern in London, Castello de Rivoli in Turin and the Museum of Modern Art in New York - and featured In the most significant International biennals - Including Gwangju (2009, 2018), Istanbul (1999, 2001, 2015), Sao Paulo (1998, 2005) Venice (1999, 2001, 2007, 2017) and Sydney (2008) as well as in Documenta 13 in Kassel (2012). In the Interwview, Russell Ferguson asks how the artist's identity as a cultural outsider has helped determine the remarkable path of as art over the years Cuauht moc Medina's Survey identifies the threads that run through the east's oeuvre while also sketching a political and social picture of Mexico City, the inspiration and setting for so many of as artworks. In the Focus, Jean Fisher examines the politic, heart of Al s's massive collaborative Land art project When Faith Moves Mountains (2002). In the artist's choice Augusto Monterroso's short tales capture the artist's enduring fascination with the role animals fables play in human society, Artist's writings include a series of short reflections on the everyday details of modern life as well as extracts from logbooks he wrote while working in the Strait of Gibraltar and in Iraq. Finally, In the Update, renown anthropologist MIchael Taussig takes as a starting point the time he spent together with Al s in Afghanistan to discuss the artist's philosophy and his most recent creative endeavours.‎

‎Gert Robijns. Re-Shade ‎

‎BE, Merz - Luc Derycke, 2005 Paperback, 260x210mm, 104p, English/ Dutch (NL) edition . ISBN 907697912X13978.‎

‎With small interventions Gert Robijns potters about the construction - that reality is after all - and forces our senses to re-construct the reception of our perception. His search for physical laws that challenge our cultural conventions, produced an impressive series of poetic work, of which this book is the first survey. Door vaak minimale ingrepen scharrelt Gert Robijns op de constructie die de realiteit tenslotte is, en dwingt onze zintuigen tot het her-contrueren van de aannames van onze waarneming. Zijn zoektocht naar fysieke wetten die onze culturele conventies uitdagen leverde een indrukwekkende reeks poetisch werk op, waarvan dit boek een eerste overzicht is. ‎

‎The Debt-Deflation Theory of Great Depressions. - [FISHER'S 'DEBT DEFLATION THEORY']‎

‎[Menasha, Wisconsin], The Econometric Society, 1933. Royal8vo. In a contemporary black half calf binding with gilt lettering to spine. In ""Econometrica"", Vol. 1, 1933. Entire volume offered. Light wear to extremities and small stamp to title-page. A fine copy. Pp. 339-357. [Entire volume: (4), 448 pp.].‎

‎First edition of Fisher's seminal work in which he introduced the concept of 'Debt deflation': a theory of economic cycles that holds that recessions and depressions are due to the overall level of debt shrinking (deflating): the credit cycle is the cause of the economic cycle.The theory was developed by Irving Fisher following the Wall Street Crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression. The debt deflation theory was familiar to John Maynard Keynes prior to Fisher's discussion of it, but he found it lacking in comparison to what would become his theory of liquidity preference. The theory, however, has enjoyed a resurgence of interest since the 1980s, both in mainstream economics and in the heterodox school of post-Keynesian economics, and has subsequently been developed by such post-Keynesian economists as Hyman Minsky and Steve Keen and by the mainstream economist Ben Bernanke. ""During the Great Depression, observing the catastrophes of the world around him, which he shared personally, Fisher came to quite a different theory of the business cycle from the simple monetarist version he had espoused earlier. This was his 'Debt-deflation theory of depression', summarized in the first volume of Econometrica, the organ of the international society he helped to found. The essential features are that debt-financed Schumpeterian innovation fuel a boom, followed by a recession between excessive real debt burdens and deflation. Note the contrast to the Pigou real balance effect, according to which prices declines are the benign mechanism that restores full-employment equilibrium. The realism is all on Fisher's side. This theory of Fisher's has room for the monetary and credit cycles of which he earlier complained, and for the perversely pro-cyclical real interest rate movements mentioned above.""‎

‎First printing of Fisher's seminal work in which he introduced his famous equation of exchange, known as the Fisher Equation. ""No other mathematical formulation in economics, perhaps no other in history save that of Albert Einstein, has enjoyed a greater vogue, and this continues without diminution to our own time."" (Galbraith. A History of Economics, Pp. 152-3).The Fisher Equation states MV=PT.

Fisher (8 pages), Index - Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher, est un biologiste et statisticien britannique, né à East Finchley le 17 février 1890 et mort le 29 juillet 1962. Il est considéré par Richard Dawkins comme « le plus grand des successeurs de Darwin » et par Anders Hald comme l'homme qui a « presque à lui seul fondé les statistiques modernes ». Bradley Efron le considère comme le statisticien le plus important du xxe siècle. Dans le domaine des statistiques, il a introduit de nombreux concepts clés tels que le maximum de vraisemblance, l'information de Fisher et l'analyse de la variance, les plans d'expériences ou encore la notion de statistique exhaustive. En génétique, sa théorie dite de l'emballement fisherien permet d'expliquer la présence de traits n'augmentant pas de manière évidente les chances de survie ou succès de l'organisme.

‎SEEDS OF KNOWLEDGE : Early Modern Illustrated Herbals ‎

‎, Silvana Editoriale, 2023 Hardcover, 528 pages, ENG, 300 x 250 x 45 mm, NEW, over 600 illustrations in fine colours, . ISBN 9788836646869.‎

‎Seeds of Knowledge highlights the collection of 15th to 17th-century European printed herbals of Dr. Peter Goop (Liechtenstein). Herbals were highly illustrated, critical texts to doctors and lay healthcare providers that included both the folkloric and medicinal uses of plants. The text and illustrations were repeatedly refined as the medicinal benefits of a plant's use were more clearly under-stood and the style of illustration tended towards higher degrees of naturalism. These books were working manuals and frequently annotated by readers with notes of herbal recipes/medicines or other uses not found in the printed text. Dr. Goop's collection is one of the most extensive in private hands. Using the Morgan's 10th-century manuscript of Dioscurides' De materia medica (MS M.652) as a centerpiece, this Thaw Gallery exhibition will explore developments in the understanding of the healthful and healing properties of plants, as Europe moved away from medicinal folklore towards an increased understanding of the natural world.‎

‎Redlands : Philip Brookman‎

‎, Steidl Publishers, 2015 Hardcover, 207 pages, ENG, 235 x 160 x 20 mm, dustjacket ( has a few minor scars) book itself is in Perfect condition, illustrated in colour. ISBN 9783869306865.‎

‎Redlands weaves together an intimate sequence of photographs and a short story by Philip Brookman, set in California, Mexico and New York City during the unsettled decades of the 1960s and 1970s. Brookman uses fiction and images from his own photographic diaries to create a first-person account of Kip, an artist who wanders back and forth between farmworkers and poets-between California and New York-seeking the meaning of his mother's death. When Kip learns that he can't trust the eyewitness accounts of his sister, he picks up a camera to find meaning in his own experience. By juxtaposing the oppositional strategies of fiction and documentary practice to find an invented narrative, Redlands questions the veracity of logical observation and embraces the poetry of the real world.‎

‎Turner's Classical Landscapes : Myth and Meaning‎

‎, Princeton University Press, 1990 Hardcover, 302 pages, ENG, 260 x 225 mm, brown linen with gold coloured imprint , dustjacket, lots of illustrations in b/w. ISBN 9780691040806.‎

‎Now famous for their immediate impact of color, light, and atmospheric effect, the landscapes of Romantic painter J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851) were at first the object of opposing critical claims: from one side the British artist was charged with painting ''pictures of nothing and very like,'' from the other, with allowing too much ''content'' to eclipse his presentation of nature. Taking this paradox as its starting point, Kathleen Nicholson's richly illustrated book proposes a thorough revision of how we understand the enigmatic artist who revolutionized landscape painting. Advancing the growing interest in Turner's handling of content, without ignoring questions of style, Nicholson shows how Turner used the themes of antiquity to explore the ways natural imagery can embody meaning, and how he came to view interpretation itself as a primary subject. Nicholson maintains that by seeking themes in ancient myth, culture, and history, Turner was able to reinvest nature with new values and concepts, thereby accomplishing a genuinely modern revision of classical landscape in an early nineteenth-century idiom. His inquiry into the nature of meaning, she argues, led him to articulate a narrative that engaged the viewer in ''reading'' or interpreting both symbolic and purely visual imagery. Among the first to analyze systematically the themes treated in Turner's early sketchbooks, Nicholson traces the artist's understanding of a given legend, ancient author, or formal source as it developed over time, providing rare insight into the extent and character of his manipulation of subject matter.‎

‎First printing of this important paper which coined the term ""cumulant"" within probability theory and statistics.Cumulants were first introduced by the Danish mathematician and statistician Thorvald N. Thiele in 1889. He, however, called them ""half-invariants"", a name that was not to be used for them in the future. It was not until the present work by the great statistical geneticist Ronald Fisher and the famous statistician John Wishart (eponym of the Wishart distribution) that these ""cumulants"" were given their name, the name that we still use today. According to the historian Stephen Stigler, the name ""cumulant"" was suggested to Fisher by Harold Hotelling. In another paper published in 1929, Fisher had called them cumulative moment functions.The present volume contains many other interesting and important mathematical papers, e.g. Carmichael's ""Expansions of Arithmetical Functions in Infinite Series"" (vol. 34), Mulholland's ""The Generalization of Certain Inequality Theorems Involving Powers."" (vol. 33), etc., etc.‎

‎First appearance of Fisher's paper on the analysis of variance.""Fisher devised his own extension of significance testing, the remarkable analysis of variance. This was bound in with his novel ideas on the wide subject of the theory of experimental design. He emphasized not merely the desirability but the logical necessity, in the design of an experiment whose results could not be freed from error, of maximizing efficiency (by devices such as blocks and confounding), and of introducing randomization in such a way as to furnish a valid estimate of the residual error. Whereas the time-honored practice in handling several factors had been to vary only one at a time during the experiment, Fisher pointed out that simultaneous variation was essential to the detection of possible interaction between factors, and that this change could be made without extra cost (in terms of experimental size and operational effort). Entrained with these innovations was the use of randomized blocks and Latin squares for the actual disposition of the test units."" (DSB)‎

Fisher was also the first economist to distinguish clearly between real and nominal interest rates, and Milton Friedman called him ""the greatest economist the United States has ever produced.""Considered ""the father of monetary economics"" (Pressman, 91), ""Irving Fisher was, in the opinion of many, the leading economic theorist in the United States during the first half of the 20th century.
