About This Item
Philadelphia: Chemical Heritage Foundation, 2016. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. New. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. New, with pre-printed subscriber's address at rear coverl. See scans and description. Philadelphia: Chemical Heritage Foundation, 2016. The Spring, 2016 issue of the new incarnation of the artfully executed Distillations magazine (subhead: Science-Culture-History), Volume Two, Number One. Quite scarce already. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 48 pp. New, and flawless; never perused but for description and scanning here. Pre-printed subscriber address on rear cover. See scans. Original tipped-in postcard, an image of an alchemical miniature Das Buch der Heilegen Dreifaltigkeit (The Book of the Holy Trinity), remains pristine within as well (see scan). Early-on-ever issue of what one hopes will be a long-lived hardcopy publication, for its taste, interest, art, focus (nicely eclectic, well within the publisher's realm but with tangential variety) and production values. Feature articles include: Synthetic Biology (Artificial Life Attempts); Aging Nukes; Cancer-Free Dwarfs of Ecuador; Vintage Science Toy; Walter O. Snelling; Late 19th Century Science; Astronomical Spectroscopy - History; Science Teaching Reform; English as Global Science Language; Imaginary Elements; and of course quite a lot more. Always, nice graphics. See scans for a tiny taste. Shipped in a protective, new box - no bag for this one. LPR22
