Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Sigmund Freud's 'Reflections on War and Death' delves into the psychological impact of war and the human relationship with mortality. A profound exploration of civilization and its discontents, Freud applies his psychoanalytic lens to understand aggression and its manifestations in societal conflict. This collection of essays examines the nature of war, death, and human nature, probing the psychological underpinnings of violence and its implications for civilization. Freud meticulously dissects the emotional and philosophical challenges posed by war, offering insights into our understanding of ourselves and the societies we create. A crucial contribution to both philosophy and social psychology, 'Reflections on War and Death' remains a vital resource for anyone seeking to comprehend the complexities of the human condition. Its timeless observations provide a framework for contemplating the enduring questions of war, death, and the psychological forces that shape our world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. faithful facsimile reprint in folio, with portfolio of plates, or the original 1831 printing. shows minor wear, tear, tanning.

Hardcover. First. First edition, finely colored issue. London: C. Baynes for John and Arthur Arch, 1831. Folio (14 3/8" x 10 3/8", 365mm x 264mm). [Full collation available.] With 40 hand-colored plates with gouache and gum arabic, of which 36 are aquatint-engravings and 4 (nos. 23, 25, 27 and 28) lithographs. Bound in later half deep green calf over marbled boards. On the spine, five raised bands. Title and author gilt to morocco in the second panel. All edges of the text-block speckled red and glazed. A little scuffed at the extremities. Peripheral tanning throughout, with foxing just to the first two leaves. Offsetting from the plates. Ink-stamp of the King's Inns Library, Dublin to the verso of the title-page and to the final page of text. William Beattie Booth (ca. 1804-1874) was a corresponding member of the Horticultural Society of London, listed in the publication (Transactions of the Horticultural Society of London, volume 7 (1830), pp. 519-562) of his paper on the camellia, read in two sessions in 1829, as a "garden clerk." Thus covered in dirt, Booth wrote with particular authority on the Asian genus -- with the leaves of Camellia sinensis being used for tea -- that was so eagerly sought in Britain and in Europe for its ornamental use. Whereas the THSL article was illustrated with just one plate (drawn by "Mrs Withers"), the present volume boasts 40 plates after Alfred Chandler (1804-1896), a nurseryman whose illustrations belong to the heraldic rather than the naturalistic school of flower portraiture. Bibliographers have identified three issues: uncolored and two with color, one more elaborately so. The de luxe issue is in some places tied to large paper, in others to gum arabic and still others to the use of opaque pigments (i.e., gouache). The present example is amply margined, with many preserved deckles at the lower edge, and richly deploys gouache (Dunthorne's criterion). It should be noted that the works ends with "END OF VOL. I" although vol. II was never published; some trial sheets of a proposed second volume have since been identified. The King's Inns in Dublin is the oldest law school in Ireland, and the sole Inn of Court (i.e., professional organization, not unlike a guild, to which all barristers must belong in order to practice) for the Bar of Ireland. Its library -- including of non-legal books, such as the present volume -- expanded considerably in the XVIIIc; by 1972 the Inns chose to deaccession legal books in order to raise funds for the maintenance of its core collection. The present volume was lot 51 in the Sotheby's London sale of 24 April 1972. Dunthorne 77; Nissen, BBI 209; Pritzel 1662 ("pulcherrimae!"

One of finest works on camellias, here in its most desirable state. Described by Wilfred Blunt as 'handsome and rare', with magnificent plates after the drawings of Alfred Chandler 'beautifully coloured with opaque pigments' (Dunthorne), the work was available in three issues: uncoloured, coloured, or -as in this example- coloured and highly finished with gum arabic. Chandler's drawings were mostly based on examples of camellia grown by at the nursery at Vauxhall run by his father. The Camellia was first introduced into Europe by Lord Petre in 1739, and the work includes Japanese, Chinese and English-bred varieties. Beautiful evergreen shrubs, sometimes growing into small trees, they are found in eastern and southern Asia, from the Himalayas east to Japan and Indonesia. The best known species, albeit not necessarily known consciously, is the Camellia sinensis, the tea plant, of major commercial importance because tea is made from its leaves. While the finest teas are produced by C. sinensis thanks to millennia of selective breeding of this species, many other camellias can be used to produce a similar beverage. For example, in some parts of Japan, tea made from C. sasanqua leaves is popular. Intended to be a two-volume work, the second volume was never published. Volume I (all published) folio (38 x 28 cm.).With 40 hand-coloured plates (36 engraved, 4 lithographed) by S. Watts and Weddell after Chandler, heightened in gum arabic; fine contemporary green half morocco gilt, covers with L-shaped corners with multiple gilt fillets, flat spine with gilt geometric designs and floral tooling, marbled sides and edges, plates clean and fresh, a most attractive example.
