Hardcover. Condition: New. vi, 275 pages : illustrations (some color), maps ; 26 cm This Special Publication is dedicated to heritage stone: those natural stones that have special significance in human culture. Some stones that have had important uses in the past are now neglected because they are no longer extracted. Others are still commercially important, but their heritage uses have not been well documented in widely available sources. The Heritage Stone Task Group of the International Union of Geological Sciences is working to establish a new formal designation of 'Global Heritage Stone Resource' to recognize those stones that have had internationally significant architectural and ornamental uses. The aim is to spread awareness of the cultural heritage aspects of these stones, to help to encourage continued supply for maintenance and repair of important monuments and to preserve historically important quarries. The aim is neither to promote nor to limit these stones for new construction: in some cases continuing commercial use might help to ensure future supplies for building conservation purposes.

Hardcover. Condition: gut. 2007. "Was ist Bach und was bedeutet er für unsere Zeit?" Eine Umfrage unter Komponisten und Interpreten aus dem Jahre 1905 bietet, 100 Jahre später wiederholt, den Anlass, der Wirkung Bachscher Musik nachzugehen: in aller Welt und den unterschiedlichsten künstlerischen Medien. Diese Bestandsaufnahme wird begleitet von Darstellungen der vielfältigen Wege der Bach-Interpretation und -Forschung des letzten halben Jahrhunderts, der Bedeutung Bachscher Musik für Komponisten Neuer Musik wie auch in Jazz und Rock. Das Spektrum verschiedenster Zugänge zu Bach aufzuzeigen, gerät dabei zugleich zu einer Analyse der Kultur unserer Gegenwart. Ausgezeichnet scheint Thomas Schacher dieser Band über die Bach-Rezeption 1945-2005, den die Bach-Forscher Michael Heinemann und Hans-Joachim Hinrichsen herausgegeben haben. Nach Auskunft des Rezensenten sollte der Band ursprünglich den Abschluss der im Laaber-Verlag erschienenen vierbändigen Reihe über "Bach und die Nachwelt" bilden, doch wegen eines Zerwürfnisses zwischen Verlag und Herausgeber erscheint er nun im Dohr-Verlag. Dass das Werk das Konzept der vorangegangenen Bände fortführt, kann Schacher nur begrüßen. An vorliegendem Band schätzt er insbesondere die kompetenten und instruktiven Beiträge über die Bach-Rezeption in Afrika und Japan, über die stilistische Breitenwirkung Bachs in den Sparten Jazz und Rock, über Bachs Präsenz in Film, Ballett und Theater zur Sprache sowie über die Komponisten-Rezeption.

First Edition
Half Morocco. Condition: Very Good. First edition. Scarce. with no copies found on OCLC First Search. Oblong 4to, 25.5 by 34 cm. [6], 43, [2] pp. 22 plates -- photographs, copies of mostly humorous drawings relating to the account. Not counted as plates -- among the pages that are paginated -- are the final leaves with mounted programmes, menus, invitations relating to the hunts. Drag racing began as a preparatory exercise to train foxhounds, who instead of chasing an actual fox, run after an artificially laid scent, one carried by a person bearing a material soaked in a pungent aniseed or other smelly substance. By the mid-nineteenth century had become a sport in its own right. Because the sport isn't dependent on the vagaries of the fox, it is more controllable by the master running the show, and thus can be more consistently fast-paced, if that is the objective. Among its greatest enthusiasts became members of the British army and cavalry. Drag hunts remain a fixture to this day in foxhunting country, including in the United States. This account of a season of drag hunts is rendered in a chatty, propulsive narrative similar to many a foxhunting reminiscence. The latter, though, is a staple of sporting literature, whereas we believe that drag hunting has seldom received such treatment, other than as part of, and ancillary to, a foxhunting memoir. Binding is heavily rubbed or abraded. Generally a clean interior, and overall, a tight copy.
