Hardback. Condition: New. The unique convergence of architecture and landscape found on the Bernina Pass inspired Swiss photographer Guido Baselgia to create a visual epic. The result is a one-of-a-kind presentation of the new road maintenance base near Bernina Pass, designed by renowned Swiss firm Bearth and Deplazes Architekten, in a seemingly arctic winter landscape. Baselgia explored the territory along the road and railway line with his analogue camera. His images also draw a connection between the existing infrastructures for traffic and energy production - built over the course of the landscape's industrialisation and continued development since the late 19th century - to the architecture of the new maintenance base.A concavely curved shield wall topped by a round tower is all that is visible of this vast, purely functional, and largely underground space. The shield wall cuts a segment from the existing topography and thereby encloses a courtyard along with an area of the surrounding landscape. The tower refuses direct encoding - until entering the camera obscura at its very top, which connects photography, architecture, and landscape to reveal that this place is about insights and not outlooks.The book features a selection of Guido Baselgia's striking photographs and reproductions of camera obscura images from the tower in outstanding duotone reproduction and documents Bearth and Deplazes' architecture through concise texts, images, and selected plans.Text in English, German and Italian.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The constellation of architecture and landscape inspired Swiss photographer Guido Baselgia to create a visual epos. The result is a unique image of the new read maintenance base near Bernina Pass, designed by renowned Swiss firm Bearth & Deplazes Architekten, in a seemingly arctic winter landscape. Baselgia explored the territory along the road and railway line with his analogue camera. His images also relate the existing infrastructures for traffic and energy production, built in the course of the landscape's industrialization and development since the late 19th century, to the architecture of the new maintenance base. A concavely curved shield wall topped by a round tower is all that is visible of this vast, purely functional and largely underground space. The shield wall cuts a segment from the topography and thereby encloses a courtyard along with an area of the surrounding landscape. The tower refuses direct encoding-until entering the camera obscura at its very top, which connects photography, architecture, and landscape to reveal that here it is about insights and not outlooks. The book features a selection of Guido Baselgia's striking photographs and reproductions of camera obscura images from the tower it outstanding duotone reproduction and documents the Bearth & Deplazes' architecture through concise texts images, and selected plans.; Die Konstellation von Architektur und Landschaft hat den Fotografen Guido Baselgia zu einem Bildepos inspiriert, das den von Bearth & Deplazes Architekten gebauten neuen Strassenunterhaltsstützpunkt auf dem Berninapass in einzigartiger Weise und in arktisch anmutender Winterlandschaft ins Bild setzt. Baselgia erkundet den Landschaftsraum entlang der Verkehrswege mit seiner analogen Kamera und stellt dabei auch die im Verlauf von dessen Industrialisierung und Erschliessung seit Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts entstandenen (Kunst-)Bauten für Eisenbahn, Strasse und Energieproduktion in Beziehung zur Architektur des neuen Strassenunterhaltsstützpunktes. Von diesem grossvolumigen und weitgehend unterirdischen Zweckbau sind lediglich die konkav geschwungene Schildwand und darüber ein Rundturm zu sehen. Die Schildwand schneidet ein Segment aus der Topografie und umfasst damit einen Vorplatz samt Landschaftsraum. Der Turm entzieht sich einer direkten Entschlüsselung - bis zum Betreten der Camera obscura an seiner Spitze, die eine Verbindung von Fotografie, Architektur und Landschaft schafft und klar macht, dass es hier um Einsichten und nicht um Aussichten geht. Das Buch zeigt eine Auswahl von Guido Baselgias eindrucksvollen Fotografien und Wiedergaben der Camera-obscura-Bilder aus dem Turm und dokumentiert in Text und Bild sowie mit Plänen die Architektur von Bearth & Deplazes.…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. D.A. Sutherland et al. "Direct observations of submarine melt and subsurface geometry at a tidewater glacier" in Science, vol 365, issue 6451, 26 July 2019, pp 297-404 with the Sutherland on pp 39-373. Original wrappers. Near-fine copy except for a mailing label on the bottom of the front wrapper. One of the overall working ideas here is sort of overwhelming: mapping the underwater geometry of glaciers. Sutherland's 2019 paper was significant because it directly measured underwater glacier melting and showed that warm ocean water, focused by turbulent freshwater plumes, can produce highly localized and intense submarine melt, which is a key process in glacier retreat and sea-level rise, validating ocean-glacier interaction models. 714.3.…

mezza pelle. Condition: Good. 3 vol. in-8 (mm 205x130), pp. XX, 532; XVI, 445; VIII, 541; robusta legatura mezza pelle e angoli, titolo e fregi oro ai dorsi, taglio super. dor. (sono errate le scritte sui dorsi relativamente alla numeraz. dei vol.: la prima serie edita da J. Ball, ad esempio, reca il numero III ed il nome ''Kennedy''sul dorso). Prime due serie di quello che viene considerato il primo periodico alpinistico, voluto dall'alpinista John Ball e dall'editore William Longman, ambedue tra i promotori della più antica associazione alpinistica, l'Alpine Club, fondata il 22 dic. 1857 e da subito presieduta dallo stesso Ball, sotto l'egida della quale si realizzò l'idea di ''riunire in un volume annuale le relazioni dell'attività alpinistica dei soci. Il largo successo di questa pubblicazione ebbe una grande influenza nella diffusione e nello sviluppo dell'alpinismo'' (Garimoldi n. 46). La seconda serie è in prima edizione, mentre la prima, pur recando l'anno 1859, ha l'indicazione ''fourth edition'' (ma, come avverte lo stesso Perret al n. 66, le edizioni seconda-quarta apparvero a distanza di qualche mese dall'originale). Sono complete del ricco corredo illustrativo formato complessivamente da gran numero di vignette, 23 carte topografiche delle Alpi a colori f.t., alcune più volte ripieg., 8 vedute in cromolitografia e 12 in silografia f.t. Assieme raro e ricercato (alla completezza di tutto il pubblicato manca solo il vol. della terza serie pubblicato nel 1932): ''one of the most famous titles in mountaineering literature'' (Neate). Contengono vari significativi contributi dei pionieri dell'alpinismo, da Ball a Tyndall, da Kennedy a Whymper, da Mathews a Whitwall, e altri. In ottimo stato, con usuali fioriture. Perret 66, 67 e 68: «Les quatre volumes constituent un ensemble remarquable, rare et très recherché». Neate A32, A34, A36. Mathews 314. ACL 8. Book.…
