Pathology of the lung, excluding pulmonary tuberculosis

Medical Books

SPENCER, HERBERT

Medicine

Pergamon Press

This unique reference book has been completely revised and updated to cover the whole field of pulmonary pathology. For the first time pulmonary tuberculosis and Legionnaire's Disease are included: all the other chapters have been substantially revised with many new photographs added. Professor Spencer's book is internationally acknowledged as the leading reference work in this area. Since the book has been compiled by one author, it avoids the poor continuity and inconsistencies of style which mar many multi-author works. It is a standard reference work which should be found in every medical library, and on the professional bookshelves of specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of lung disorders.

Graphic designers, typophiles, and students of the Modern Movement will welcome the reissue of this important source book. Since it was first published in 1969, it has served as the standard guide to the impact of twentieth century avant-garde movements on graphic design and typography. This revised edition has a more compact format and incorporates new materials and illustrations. Spencer's substantial introduction examines the origins and artifacts of the revolution in graphic design and carefully disentangles the respective influences of Futurism, Dadaism, De Stijl, Suprematism, Constructivism, and the Bauhaus. Spencer traces the interactions of the key personalities associated with these movements and presents concise biographical sketches of them. An album of color reproductions displays characteristic examples of the most important innovators' work, representing such genres as posters, magazine covers, letterheads, advertisements, and poems. Herbert Spencer is Professor of Graphic Arts at the Royal College of Art, London.

Since its first publication in 1969, Pioneers of Modern Typography has been the standard guide to the avant-garde origins of modern graphic design and typography. In this essential reference, Herbert Spencer shows how new concepts in graphic design in the early decades of the twentieth century had their roots in the artistic movements of the time in painting, poetry, and architecture. Spencer examines the "heroic" period of modern design and typography, the beginning of which he traces to the publication in Le Figaro of the Italian artist Manetti's Futurist manifesto. He discusses the work of such "pioneers" as El Lissitzky, Alexander Rodchenko, and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy. He examines the artistic background of the new concepts in graphic design, and traces the influences of futurism, Dadaism, de Stijl, suprematism, constructivism, and the Bauhaus. His text is profusely illustrated with examples of the new typography, shown in genres that range from posters and magazine covers to Apollinaire's "figurative poetry."
This revised edition, which follows the revised and redesigned edition of 1983, includes a foreword by design critic Rick Poyner that discusses the important contributions to the history of graphic design made by Herbert Spencer.
