With black silk page marker. Many Duotone full page photographic illustrations. Includes English title page on verso of Hebrew title page. Illustrated with a number of b/w facsimile photographs of important figures and historical casts from certain plays performed by Habimah.The book is a history of Habimah ("The Stage") which was founded in Moscow in 1917 under the Moscow Art Theatre. Habimah was the first professional group to ever perform their plays in Hebrew. Led by Nahum Zemach, the company aspired to portray the problems of the Jewish people. Habimah had a few problems of its own; many members of the Communist Party opposed the existence of Habimah. Stalin, however, allowed the group to continue to operate. In 1926, the company went abroad on tour. The following year, in the United States, Habimah split. Zemach and several additional actors remained in the U.S., while others decided to settle in the British Mandate of Palestine (Eretz Israel). Tel Aviv was the new home for Habimah. In 1945, Habimah moved into the building in which it now resides, in the heart of Tel Aviv. Thirteen years later, it became the National Theater of Israel. Each photo has Yiddish and English description.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 2nd Edition. FREUNDLICH, Erwin; Albert EINSTEIN (preface). The Foundations of Einstein's Theory of Gravitation. With a preface by Albert Einstein, PhD. London, Methuen & Co, 1924. Second English edition, much revised and enlarged, of this important exposition of Einstein's theory gravitation, retaining its rare dust jacket. Translated from the original German by the Australian physicist Henry Brose, this edition features two essays by Brose and an introduction by the British astronomer Herbert Hall Turner. The first English edition, a slim 60-page pamphlet published in 1920, underwent significant expansion in the present second edition, effectively constituting a new book. One of Einstein's close collaborators, Erwin Freundlich (aka Erwin Finlay-Freundlich) was among the first scientists to grasp the implications of the theory of relativity for astronomy and to conduct empirical astronomical tests on Einstein's theory of gravitation. He played a pivotal role in the establishment of the 'Einstein Tower,' an astrophysical observatory and laboratory near Potsdam, and was the first to introduce Einstein's work to a broader audience. Octavo, pp. xvi, 180; near fine in publisher's grey-coloured cloth, spine lettered and ruled in black, front cover lettered in black within a single black fillet border, bottom edge untrimmed, printed dust jacket (extremities slightly worn, spine toned with residue from old sticker); City Book Agengy labe to front fly leaf.
