Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Bücher zählen bis heute zu den wichtigsten kulturellen Errungenschaften der Menschheit. Ihre Erfindung war mit der Einführung des Buchdrucks ähnlich bedeutsam wie des Internets: Erstmals wurde eine massenweise Weitergabe von Informationen möglich. Bildung, Wissenschaft, Forschung, aber auch die Unterhaltung wurde auf neuartige, technisch wie inhaltlich revolutionäre Basis gestellt. Bücher verändern die Gesellschaft bei heute.Die technischen Möglichkeiten des Massen-Buchdrucks führten zu einem radikalen Zuwachs an Titeln im 18. Und 19 Jahrhundert. Dennoch waren die Rahmenbedingungen immer noch ganz andere als heute: Wer damals ein Buch schrieb, verfasste oftmals ein Lebenswerk. Dies spiegelt sich in der hohen Qualität alter Bücher wider.Leider altern Bücher. Papier ist nicht für die Ewigkeit gemacht. Daher haben wir es uns zur Aufgabe gemacht, das zu Buch gebrachte Wissen der Menschheit zu konservieren und alte Bücher in möglichst hoher Qualität zu niedrigen Preisen verfügbar zu machen. 104 pp. Deutsch.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 4to (315 x 257 mm), with photogravure of Krieger's observatory and 28 photolithographed plates, each with a transparent key overlay. Original three-quarter cloth with publisher's printed boards. Only very little soiling and age-toning, overlay tissue guards browned as usual, inner hinges starting. A fine, crisp copy. ----- Ashworth, The face of the moon, Linda Hall 27 (ref.) - FIRST EDITION. Krieger (1856-1902) 'was a gifted draftsman, but he realized that it make little sense to spend time drawing features that the camera could record. So he had the brilliant idea of adding the finer details by hand at the telescope. The resulting maps of selected craters were not equaled until the U.S. Air Force began issuing its own series of photobase lunar charts in the 1960s. 'Krieger published the first volume of his drawings in 1898; it contained twenty-eight plates. Due to overwork, his health broke shortly thereafter, and he died before the contemplated second volume could be issued. His manuscripts were taken over by Rudolf König, and the remaining drawings were finally published in 1912. 'The posthumous publication contains one of the most impressive drawings of the crater Gassendi ever made. Gassendi has always been a favorite object for observers, because of the intricate rill system on the crater floor' (William Ashworth, Jr, The face of the moon, Galileo to Apollo, n 27 (1912 vol only). - Visit our website to see more images!.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. In fair condition. Volume I: Cloth is discolored is somewhat soiled with fraying along edges, Espaillat at head and base of spine. Gutter shaken.

Volume II: Water damaged cloth with splitting hinges. Cloth is soiled with slight discoloration. End papers are sticking to paste down, resulting in ripping. Gutters are very shaken.

Please see photos. Johann Nepomuk Krieger (1865-1902), was a German astronomer having the Krieger crater on the moon named after him. Krieger's decision o create a definitive map of the moon, moved him to obtain a series of low-resolution negatives of the lunar surface that had been taken at the Lick and Paris observatories. He enlarged these images and used them to provide positional accuracy for his subsequent drawings. His work is considered superior to any previously produced lunar maps in their accuracy and level of detail. The resulting maps were not equaled until the 1960's when the U.S. Air Force began drafting for the upcoming moon landing.

An exceptionally well preserved set of this rare lunar atlas. ---- Ashworth, The face of the moon, Linda Hall 27; NDB 13, 44 - THE RARE FIRST ENLARGED EDITION. "Krieger was a gifted draftsman, but he realized that it made little sense to spend time drawing features that the camera could record. So he had the brilliant idea of starting with a low-contrast photograph as a base and adding the finer details by hand at the telescope. The resulting maps of selected craters were not equaled until the U.S. Air Force began issuing its own series of photobased lunar charts in the 1960's. Krieger published the first volume of his drawings in 1898; it contained 28 plates. Due to overwork, his health broke shortly thereafter, and he died before the contemplated second volume could be issued. His manuscripts were taken over by Rudolf König, and the remaining drawings were finally published in 1912." (Ashworth 27). This new atlas is much rarer than the original 1898 publication. Der 2. Teil wurde posthum von R. König mit Unterstützung der Akademie der Wissenschaften in Wien herausgegeben. - Krieger (1865-1902), Schüler von H. Seeliger, betrieb umfassende Studien über die Oberfläche des Mondes. "Die von ihm in langjähriger unermüdlicher Nachtarbeit angefertigten ca. 1000 Zeichnungen der Mondoberfläche gehören zu den besten der damaligen Zeit und werden wegen ihrer sich auf das der Photographie überlegene Auflösungsvermögen des menschlichen Auges gründenden Feinheiten der Darstellung noch heute oft herangezogen, wenn schwierige Detailfragen geklärt werden müssen" (NDB). - Visit our website for additional images and information.

Faustini", [Brooklyn], 1924. // FIRST EDITIONS. Krieger was a draftsman and selenographer who produced detailed hand-drawn maps of the lunar surface at his Italian observatory. Krieger decided to create a definitive map of the Moon. For this purpose he obtained a series of low-resolution negatives of the lunar surface that had been taken at the Lick and Paris observatories. He enlarged these images and used them to provide positional accuracy for his subsequent drawings. His illustrations of the Moon were made in charcoal, graphite pencil, and ink, and were considered superior to any previously produced lunar maps in their accuracy and level of detail, and continue to be considered works of art. / He lived long enough to see his first 28 plates published as volume 1 of his "Mond Atlas". However his health had suffered, possibly due to his long nightly labors at his telescope. About 10 years following his death, his remaining drawings and sketches were published in a second volume by the Austrian selenographer Rudolf Konig [included]. / Rudolf Konig (1865 -- 1927), born in Vienna, was an Austrian merchant, amateur astronomer and selenographer. He was friends with Krieger and finished the book his friend had intended, though it would appear by enhancing it much further. / PROVENANCE: Arnaldo Faustini (1872âÂÂ"1944) was an Italian polar explorer, geographer, writer, and cartographer. He is considered by some to be the first South European polar specialist. Born in Rome, he received his doctorate at the University of Rome at the age of 21. Faustini worked at a newspaper based in Rome as scientific editor. He had a special interest in polar subjects, and published 19 books on polar subjects in his native Italian. He also wrote numerous articles. Among the polar explorers Faustini knew personally were Roald Amundsen, Ernest Shackleton, Robert F. Scott, and Adrien de Gerlache, of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition. Faustini translated into Italian De Gerlache's French language account of his voyage. Faustini also drew the map of the area explored by the Belgians. In gratitude, De Gerlache gave him the flag from the expedition's ship, the SS Belgica. / The polar explorer Augustus Greely invited Faustini to the United States in 1915 for a lecture tour. While lecturing at Columbia University, Faustini met Amelia Del Colle, who later became his wife. / Faustini's interests were wide-ranging. In an unpublished 1918 manuscript entitled Catalogo Descrittivo di Ponti ed Archi Naturali ("Descriptive Catalog of Natural Bridges and Arches"), Faustini wrote: "Completed under every standpoint, for a future, eventual publication -- text, topographical sketches, illustrations, contents, indexes, etc., that I think to be my greatest work of physical geography." He was fluent in French, English, Spanish and Russian and understood Greek. / The crater Faustini on the Moon is named after him. His papers on the Arctic and Antarctic are held in the Archives of the Istituto Geografico Polare "Silvio Zavatti" (Zavatti Polar Institute) in Fermo. In 1908 his polar geography appeared, Le Terre Polari. In 1912 was is.
