Norton, 2010. Hardcover, w jacket. 384 pp. As new unopened copy.

1st ed. "Shaking up the content and method by which generations of students had studied Western philosophy, Martin Heidegger sought to ennoble man's existence in relation to death. Yet in a time of crisis, he sought personal advancement, becoming the most prominent German intellectual to join the Nazis. Hannah Arendt, his brilliant, beautiful student and young lover, sought to enable a decent society of human beings in relation to one other. She was courageous in the time of crisis. Years later, she was even able to meet Heidegger once again on common ground and to find in his past behavior an insight into Nazism that would influence her reflections on "the banality of evil"-a concept that remains bitterly controversial and profoundly influential to this day. But how could Arendt have renewed her friendship with Heidegger? And how has this relationship affected her reputation as a cultural critic? In Stranger from Abroad, Daniel Maier-Katkin offers a compassionate portrait that provides much-needed insight into this relationship. Maier-Katkin creates a detailed and riveting portrait of Arendt's rich intellectual and emotional life, shedding light on the unique bond she shared with her second husband, Heinrich Blucher, and on her friendships with Mary McCarthy, W. H. Auden, Karl Jaspers, and Randall Jarrell-all fascinating figures in their own right. An elegant, accessible introduction to Arendt's life and work, Stranger from Abroad makes a powerful and hopeful case for the lasting relevance of Arendt's thought."

Slightly worn jacket, minor edgewear, overall a very good copy. Cover design by Roger Excoffon. "(Preface) 'We live in a world of persuasion. Advertisements, booklets, posters, films and television spots whisper or boom incessantly about our ears: consume, consume... The age of mass communication has the merit of having made graphic design popular. Graphis Annual proves this on 54 colour pages and 195 pages in black and white. The graphic designer himself has also been educated to a new level of inventiveness, keenness and skill. These qualities have become vital for him, since his profession now holds a key position in an eminently and competitively communicative society. In its fifteenth year Graphis Annual presents 1014 examples of visually formulated and carefully aimed advertising messages. These were chosen from no less than 17,000 entries, submitted from 37 countries. Six sections with 19 subdivisions combine to form an instructive and impressive array of the most outstanding posters, advertisements, booklets, magazine covers, packs, calendars, trade marks and film and television commercials of the past year.'"

Thames and Hudson Ltd, 2013 (Quid 2012). Small 4to in hardcover, w jacket. 256 pp. Richly illustrated. Very good well preserved copy. The Geometry of Type explores 100 traditional and modern typefaces in detail, with a full spread devoted to each entry. Characters from each typeface are enlarged and annotated to reveal key features, anatomical details, and the finer, often-overlooked elements of type design, which shows how these attributes affect mood and readability. Sidebar information lists the designer and foundry, the year of release and the different weights and styles available, while feature boxes explain the origins and best uses for each typeface, such as whether it is suitable for running text or as a display font for headlines. To help the reader spot each typeface in the wider world, the full character set is shown, and the best letters for identification are highlighted. This beautiful and highly practical work of reference for font spotters, designers and users is a close-up celebration of typefaces and great type design
