Soft cover. Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. First Trade Paperback Edition. INVALUABLE: INDISPENSABLE, ENTRALLING, AMBITIOUS: AS-NEW First Trade Paperback Edition (Orig. 1995) Fifth Printing (c. 2010): Volume 3 in the series "Weimar and Now: German Cultural Criticism" edited by Anton Kaes w/ Martin Jay & Edward Dimendberg * 6.48" x 9.74" x 1.86", 1.54 kg, xx+810 (830) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: A laboratory for competing visions of modernity, the Weimar Republic (1918-1933) continues to haunt the imagination of the 20th century. Its political & cultural lessons retain uncanny relevance for all who seek to understand the tensions & possibilities of our age. "The Weimar Republic Sourcebook" represents the most comprehensive documentation of Weimar culture, history, & politics assembled in any language. It invites a wide community of readers to discover the richness & complexity of the turbulent years in Germany before Hitler's rise to power. Drawing from such primary sources as magazines, newspapers, manifestos, & official documents (many unknown even to specialists & most never before available in English), this book challenges the traditional boundaries between politics, culture, & social life. Its 30 chapters explore Germany's complex relationship to democracy, ideologies of "reactionary modernism," the rise of the "New Woman," Bauhaus architecture, the impact of mass media, the literary life, the tradition of cabaret & urban entertainment, & the situation of Jews, intellectuals, & workers before & during the emergence of fascism. While devoting much attention to the Republic's varied artistic & intellectual achievements (the Frankfurt School, political theater, 12-tone music, cultural criticism, photo-montage, & urban planning), the book is unique for its inclusion of many lesser-known materials on popular culture, consumerism, body culture, drugs, criminality, & sexuality; it also contains a timetable of major political events, an extensive bibliography, & capsule biographies. This will be a major resource & reference work for students & scholars in history; art; architecture; literature; social & political thought; & cultural, film, German, & women's studies. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "'The Weimar Republic Sourcebook' is an INVALUABLE resource for understanding one of the most important & resonant eras of the 20th century. SInce the Weimar debate has continued to repeat itself, albeit w/ less intellectual brilliance, this book is as much about the present as about the past. Here is the Weimar era in all its many-voiced & eloquent complexity: most of these texts, even those by the most famous names of the period, appear for the first time in English. This is an INDISPENSABLE, ENTRALLING, properly AMBITIOUS book." -Susan Sontag * ABOUT THE AUTHORS-EDITORS: ANTON KAES is Professor of German & Director of Film Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. He is author most recently of "From Hitler to Heimat: The Return of History as Film" (1989). MARTIN JAY is Sidney Hellman Ehrman Professor of History at the University of California, Berkeley.

Condición: Good. No Dust Jacket. First Edition, First Printing. NORTH AMERICAN WILDLIFE THROUGH THE ART OF WALTER ALOIS WEBER. A large-format natural-history book introducing young readers to the behavior, habitats, migration, hunting, family life, and adaptations of North American mammals. Written by Field Museum zoologist Karl Patterson Schmidt and extensively illustrated by wildlife artist Walter Alois Weber, the volume combines accessible natural history with twelve full-page color plates and numerous drawings throughout the text. Bibliographic records confirm the 1934 edition, 64 pages, and twelve color plates. Weber's illustrations range from wolverine, beaver, rabbit, jaguar, marten, bear and caribou to otter, fox, bats, armadillo and badger, giving the book considerable appeal as a work of vintage American wildlife illustration. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: TWELVE COLOR PLATES IN AN OVERSIZED PICTORIAL FORMAT. +++ Publisher's rust-colored cloth spine over illustrated paper-covered boards, the front depicting deer and a squirrel in a woodland setting. Large quarto, approximately 12 inches tall. 64 pages. +++ Pictorial endpapers printed in rust-colored ink and illustrated throughout with wildlife drawings by Walter Alois Weber. Twelve full-page color plates, including the color frontispiece, with additional illustrations incorporated throughout the text. The National Agricultural Library bibliographic record describes the volume as 64 pages with twelve leaves of color plates and a height of 32 cm. +++ Contents include chapters on animal workers, hair and fur, predators and prey, fishing animals, migration, play, family life, unusual North American mammals, and animal behavior. CONDITION: WORN BOARDS; FIRM BINDING AND VERY GOOD INTERIOR. Good overall. Pictorial boards show considerable surface rubbing, scuffing and areas of paper loss, particularly around the margins and upper portion of the front board, with additional edge and corner wear. Rear board shows general age-soiling and handling wear. Cloth spine remains intact. Binding firm. Interior Very Good, with pages and illustrations clean and well preserved. Color plates remain bright and attractive. No dust jacket. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: WALTER ALOIS WEBER AND THE POPULARIZATION OF AMERICAN WILDLIFE. Karl Patterson Schmidt was a prominent American zoologist associated with Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History. Here his account of North American mammals was presented for a juvenile audience through the work of Walter Alois Weber, whose wildlife illustration became familiar to generations of American readers. A specialist children's bookseller specifically identifies Weber as a noted National Geographic illustrator and emphasizes his role in the book's appeal. Published in 1934, the volume belongs to a period when illustrated natural-history books helped introduce younger readers to animal ecology and behavior through a combination of scientific observation and narrative presentation. Its oversized format, decorative endpapers, abundant text illustrations, and twelve color plates make it particularly representative of illustrated juvenile natural history between the wars.
