The Further Reading Library Book Bundle

2025 Further Reading Library Book Bundle All 5 books in the 2025 series in a custom sleeve:

"The first five books of the Burgin/Lampert Further Reading Library offer gems of wonder from the twilight zones between art and science. They are presented here, in a slipcased set, as singular gestures united by a vision to find, gather, and circulate ‘forgotten ideas, overlooked accomplishments, and idiosyncratic world views.’ Each book explores — through a collection of original documents, photographs, and primary source material — a body of work, a specific topic, or an individual. Introduced hereby are: avant-garde dancer Loïe Fuller (1862–1928), who worked with light and wanted to dance in radium; inventor, designer, artist, and musician Thomas Wilfred (1889–1968), who created Lumia home “light organs”; sci-fi author and obsessive investigator into ancient mysteries, Richard Sharpe Shaver (1907–1975), who believed that stones bore truths about ancient mythical races; aphoristic declarations and philosophical asides from the pioneer of New York’s experimental theatre scene, founder of the Ontological-Hysteric Theater company, Richard Foreman (1937-2025); and, last but certainly not least, singer, philanthropist, and inventor Margaret Watts Hughes (1842-1907), creator of the “eidophone,” a device that recorded sound waves by etching them onto glass slides. Highly recommended, all!“
