Hilton (1933 - 2016), American heir, hotelier, philanthropist and Former Vice Chairman of Hilton Hotels Corporation. There are two…ownership indications laid-in the book: 1) a letter from the University of Houston presenting this book to him, and 2) a copy of a rather caustic letter from Hilton's wife to a worker at the Las Vegas Hilton asking her to stop refering to the Hiltons as "close personal friends." Eric M. Hilton was the youngest son of Conrad N. Hilton for which the Conrad N. Hilton College of Global Hospitality Leadership was named. Eric M. Hilton was an inductee into the their Hall of Honor. The book is SIGNED by the AUTHOR directly on the title page (his signature only, NOT personalized to anyone). Near Fine condition in a bright and shiny Near Fine dust jacket (only a little bit of mild shelfwear). NO chips, tears, creases or fading. Square and tight. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a library discard. NOT a remainder. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked. Illustrated. Bound in the original white boards with a light brown cloth spine. Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher: "Modern is a word much used, but hard to pin down. In Inventing Modern, John H. Lienhard uses that word to capture the furious rush of newness in the first half of 20th-century America. An unexpected world emerges from under the more familiar Modern. Beyond the airplanes, radios, art deco, skyscrapers, Fritz Lang's Metropolis, Buck Rogers, the culture of the open road--Burma Shave, Kerouac, and White Castles--lie driving forces that set this account of Modern apart. One force, says Lienhard, was a new concept of boyhood -- the risk-taking, hands-on savage inventor. Driven by an admiration of recklessness, America developed its technological empire with stunning speed. Bringing the airplane to fruition in so short a time, for example, were people such as Katherine Stinson, Lincoln Beachey, Amelia Earhart, and Charles Lindbergh. The rediscovery of mystery powerfully drove Modern as well. X-Rays, quantum mechanics, and relativity theory had followed electricity and radium. Here we read how, with reality seemingly altered, hope seemed limitless. Lienhard blends these forces with his childhood in the brave new world. The result is perceptive, engaging, and filled with surprise. Whether he talks about Alexander Calder (an engineer whose sculptures were exercises in materials science) or that wacky paean to flight, Flying Down to Rio, unexpected detail emerges from every tile of this large mosaic. Inventing Modern is a personal book that displays, rather than defines, an age that ended before most of us were born. It is an engineer's homage to a time before the bomb and our terrible loss of confidence -- a time that might yet rise again out of its own postmodern ashes.". SIGNED by the AUTHOR. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. Illus. by NOT a library discard. 8vo. (x), 292pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. NOT a library discard (illustrator).

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Buckram (stamped on spine: "Collected Reprints of Francis H. Williams"). Ink name stamp of Merrill C. Sosman, Peter Bent Brigham Hospital, Boston Mass., on front flyleaf (see photos) and on rear pastedown. OFFERED WITH: Typed Letter, Signed, from Otto Glasser, Cleveland Clinic, to Merrill Sosman,… 20 August 1956, about Francis Williams. This letter, with a horizontal fold, was once taped to the front pastedown of this volume, but it is now loose (see photos for the letter and for the tape stains on the front pastedown). "A search of the medical literature reveals no one else in the United States or Canada during 1896 who ranked with Francis W. Williams in breadth of radiological experience, precision of observation, depth of insight, soundness of judgment, ingenuity, and clarity of expression. He was the first to bring to radiology the full range of skills which now characterize it, and can therefore properly be cited as 'America's first radiologist' " (Brecher & Brecher, The Rays. A History of Radiology in the United States and Canada, p. 80; see pp. 70-80). A complete list of the 29 offprints is available upon request. The first offprint in the volume is inscribed by Francis Williams: WILLIAMS, Francis H.: "Notes on X Rays in Medicine." Reprinted from the Transactions of the Association of American Physicians. 1896. 6 pp; 3 plates containing 5 figs. Original front wrapper. SIGNED BY FRANCIS W. WILLIAMS: "Dr. M. C. Sossman [sic]/ with the kind regards of/ Francis H. Williams" (see photo). The collection also includes: WILLIAMS, Francis H.: "A Method for More Fully Determining the Outline of the Heart by Means of the Fluorescope Together with Other Uses of This Instrument in Medicine." Reprinted from the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal of October 1, 1896. Boston: Damrell & Upham, 1896. 6 pp; 4 figs. Original front wrapper. Garrison-Morton 2686.1 and 2804.1. "Williams's promptness in utilizing the new roentgen rays in the examination of patients enabled him to publish one of the first articles on their application to clinical cardiology. This article, 'A method for more fully determining the outline of the heart.,' appeared in 1896. In addition to demonstrating that cardiac enlargement and abnormalities of the cardiac silhouette could be observed by means of the roentgenoscope, Williams emphasized the importance of correlating these observations with physical findings" (Willius & Dry, History of the Heart and the Circulation, pp. 331-32, also pp. 204-05). This classic paper is reprinted in Willius & Keys, Cardiac Classics, pp. 697-706. Signed by Author(s).

Add to basketMunich, Friedrich Haller & Söhne, Atélier und Laboratorium mit Röntgen'schen Strahlen, 1897. Loose in folio album. Set of nine extremely early, mint conditioned X-Ray-photographs mounted on six presentation cardboards (three with two photographs each) and with manuscript descriptions; the photographs measuring between 6.6 x 5.6…cm, and 34.4 x 23.6 cm, all housed in contemporary gilt cloth portfolio titled Album. = A set of very early Röntgen photos; in all, seven anatomical and two art-historical X-rays, as follows: (1) the large-scaled (34.4 x 23.6 cm) negative of a painting ascribed to Albrecht Dürer, named "Der segnende Heiland" (Christ with a crown of thorns). The painting, once owned by Mr. Friedrich Burger, who ran an art gallery in Munich, had first been extensively described by Dr. Oscar Freiherr Lochner von Hüttenbach in a paper in 1894, where Hüttenbach clearly states that the painting should be attributed to Albrecht Dürer. Apparently Mr. Burger still had trouble selling the painting, because in January 1897, he let Friedrich Haller & Söhne try a completely new method of authenticating his painting; by means of X-ray. According to a newspaper article clipped from the "Allgemeine Zeitung", mounted on the backside of the card board, and dated in a contemporary hand "26/I 97" (= 26 January, 1897) this X-ray indeed proved that this was a true Dürer, marking the photographs for sale as the first known attempt to verify a painting's authorship by this revolutionary method. The story was considered so important, it was repeated at length in the New York Daily Tribune of 11 April 1897: "A new test for old paintings. The genuineness of an Albrecht Duerer proven by X-Rays. The practical value of Röntgen s famous discovery lies in its revelations of the unseen. While the applications of this instrument of research have hitherto been confined almost entirely to surgical diagnosis, yet there are other important uses to which it can be put." The X-rays reveal the date 1524, whereas previously the work was thought to date from 1521, and a previously unknown Gothic text. This is the oldest known verification of a piece of fine art by the means of X-rays revealing information about an old masters paintings' history hidden behind layers of paint, varnish, and dirt. The present whereabouts of this painting are unknown. We presume it was lost during WWII, or (less likely) it is hidden away somewhere in a private collection. It was not until the 1920's that X-rays were regularly used in the analysis of old paintings. From the newspaper article we learn something interesting about the rarity of these particular X-ray photographs, too; as it states that only a few copies were sent to a handfull of distinguished people in Europe. "The Queen Regent of Spain having been thus complimented, she sent her specimen to one of the academies of art in Spain, and it was the subject of favorable comment there." (2) the somewhat smaller scaled positive of the former number (21.5 x 15 cm), here the painting is depicted much more clearly with better contrast; (3) a 42-year-old woman's skull; (4) a man's hand, signed in the photographic plate "Armin Flümthal - similar to the first X-Ray in history, depicting either Röntgen's or his wife's hand"; (5) the lower part of the body of a 13-year-old female with malformed legs; (6) a man's foot with a crocked grown fracture; (7) the pelvis of a 17-year-old woman with a deformed pin to fix a fracture; (8) the pelvis of a 12-year-old boy - all of which so far are negative proofs; (9) the large-scaled (life-sized?) positive of #4 above, stating the time of exposure of three minutes (!). All photos in an exceptionally mint condition. All with the atelier's label mounted to the back side. Provenance: the medical doctor, Karl Theodor, Duke in Bavaria (1839-1909), who founded the Augenklinik Herzog Carl Theodor (the Duke Charles Theodore Eye Clinic) in Munich in 1895.
