Hempel and Paul Oppenheim, with an ex-lib association to the University of Pittsburgh where Hempel was a Professor.

    About CARL G. HEMPEL (from Wikipedia):

    ******Carl Gustav "Peter" Hempel, b.1905 d.1997, was a German writer, philosopher, logician, and epistemologist. He was a major figure in logical empiricism, a 20th century movement in the philosophy of science. He is especially well known for his articulation of the deductive-nomological model of scientific explanation, which was considered the standard model of scientific explanation during the 1950s and 1960s. He is also known for the Raven Paradox, aka "Hempel's Paradox".

    After moving to Berlin, Hempel met Rudolf Carnap and became involved in the Berlin Circle of philosophers associated with the Vienna Circle.

    In 1937 Hempel emigrated to the United States, where he accepted a position as Carnap's assistant at the University of Chicago. He later held positions at the City College of New York, Yale University, and Princeton University, where he taught alongside Thomas Kuhn and remained until made emeritus in 1973. In 1977 he became the University Professor of Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh. In 1989 the Department of Philosophy at Princeton University renamed its Three Lecture Series the "Carl G. Hempel Lectures" in his honor. He was an elected member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and of the American Philosophical Society for which he served as President.******

    MAYNARD A. JOSLYN : A TECHNOLOGIST VIEWS THE CALIFORNIA WINE INDUSTRY. An Interview Conducted by Ruth Teiser. With an Introduction by Gordon Mackinney.

    Published by The Bancroft Library, University of California Berkeley, Regional Oral History Project. Copyright 1974 by The Regents of the University of California. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING, this being hand numbered copy no. 18.

    From the "Interview History" page: "Two initial interview sessions were held on May 2 and June 3, 1969... the two final sessions were (held) on April 17 and June 28, 1973... The transcripts of the first two session were sent to Professor Joslyn on April 11, 1973, to read over before the next session. The transcripts of the third and fourth sessions were sent to him on September 6, 1973. All were returned before the end of that month, meticulously edited by Professor Joslyn... The final transcript was also reviewed by Dr. Joslyn..." - Ruth Teiser, Interviewer and Editor, 19 August 1974, Regional Oral History Office, University of California at Berkeley.

    Listings sometimes incorrectly state that this book was published in 1969. Rather misleading given the fact that the final two interviews for this book were in 1973, the transcripts for this book were reviewed and edited in 1973, and the actual book was published by UC Berkeley in a first and numbered edition in August, 1974.

    Hardcovers, blue cloth covered boards, gilt titling on the spine, 8.5x11 inches. Pagination: [3], v, 151 pages, pages printed on one side only. Includes an 4.5x5.5 inch b&w photograph pasted onto a prelim page.

    VERY GOOD condition, the covers upper corner tips are bumped, overall tight, bright, clean and clear. A solid, very nice copy.

    This ORIGINAL UC BERKELEY FIRST EDITION is Hard to Find.

    About MAYNARD ALEXANDER JOSLYN (from Wikipedia):

    ******Maynard Alexander Joslyn, b.1904 d.1984, was a Russian-born, American food scientist who was involved in the rebirth of the American wine industry in California following the repeal of Prohibition in 1933. Joslyn was also involved in the development of analytical chemistry as it applied to food, leading to the advancement of food chemistry as a scientific discipline. Joslyn won two Diplome d'Honneur (honorary diplomas) from the French Office International de la Vigne et du Vin (International French Wine and Vineyard Office) in Paris. He also earned the Merit Award from the American Society for Enology and Viticulture in 1971.******

    About ROBERT G. COLEMAN, who SIGNED this copy (from the National Academy of Sciences website):

    ******Robert Coleman, b.1923 d.2020, an internationally recognized geologic field mapper and geochemical mineralogist-petrologist, made enormous contributions to scientists knowledge of the geologic evolution of contractional continental-margin subduction zones and to the genesis of the ocean-floor-to-upper-mantle lithosphere (that is, ophiolites-sections of Earth's oceanic crust that have been thrust onto the edges of island arcs and continental margins). During four decades of studying the origin and geologic history of western California and southwestern Oregon, Coleman rose to become a world authority on circumpacific tectonics, petrogenesis of the oceanic lithosphere, and the petrotectonics of Alpine-Tethyan convergent suture zones, chiefly in central and eastern Asia. His Ph.D. thesis on the New Idria (central California) Mineral District was a classic work documenting protrusion, diapiric ascent, of a large, low-density ultramafic complex. Coleman received a Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1957. During his doctoral studies, he also worked for the Atomic Energy Commission and in 1954 joined the staff of the U.S. Geological Survey. Departing the USGS in 1982, he became a professor at Stanford until his retirement from academia in 1993, after which he continued productive research until virtually his dying day.******
