AA.VV. - Biblioteca scientifica Adelphi 64 volumi - 1985-2021

BIBLIOTECA SCIENTIFICA ADELPHI COLLECTION 1985 - 2021 - 64 VOLUMES In this lot we present an extraordinary and almost complete block from the Adelphi Scientific Library. With 64 volumes out of 74 published to date, the collection covers almost the entire series, forming an exceptional and highly valuable set for any collector or enthusiast. Within the sequence from number 1 to 65 there are some specifics: number 27 is missing, while volume number 35 does not formally belong to the scientific series but has been replaced by the same title from the Adelphi series (The Universal Computer by Martin Davis,) - NUMBER OF VOLUMES: 64 - YEAR: from 1985 to 2021 - DETAILS: from the first to the 65th all books consecutively; 27 missing; 35 is the same title but from another Adelphi series - CONDITIONS: from good to very good/excellent I have leafed through and opened many books without finding traces of pencil or writing; pages are in good, solid, and complete condition. Some books have been read, especially the older ones, and may show reading creases on the spine and light signs of use on the exterior or yellowing with time; others appear almost new and still others are in excellent condition. SHIPPING - please note that the estimated weight of this lot of volumes should be around 30/35 kg and could therefore be split into two packages depending on the logistic availability of carriers - packaging will be secure and the books will be well protected ABOUT THE SERIES The Adelphi Scientific Library is one of the most fascinating, prestigious, and recognizable editorial series in Italy in the field of high-level scientific divulgation. Born in the mid-1980s (the debut itself dates back to 1985 with historical volumes such as Bateson’s Towards an Ecology of Mind or Hofstadter and Dennett’s The Mind's I), the series has redefine how science is told outside narrow academic circuits. This is not just a collection of science books, but an ideal library that maps the great questions humans have asked about the nature of the universe, consciousness, and life. The selected books are not simple technical manuals, but works that explore the great frontiers of knowledge — from quantum physics to neuroscience, from evolutionary biology to mathematics and the philosophy of mind. The aim is to show how science is an integral part of human culture, capable of dialoguing with philosophy, art, and psychology.
