He was the father of\r\nGreek, and consequently of European philosophy and science. His\r\nspeculations embraced a wide range of subjects relating to political\r\nas well as to celestial matters. One must remember that even up to\r\nthe 18th century there was no clear distinction between philosophy and\r\nscience, both being products of the human mind in its attempts to\r\nexplain reality.\n    Thales had studied astronomy in Egypt so he was able to draw up\r\naccurate tables forecasting when the River Nile would be in flood.\r\nBut he first became widely known by anticipating an eclipse of the sun\r\nfor May 585 B.C., which happened to coincide with the final battle of\r\nthe war between the Lydians and the Persians. He had used some tables\r\ndrawn up by Babylonian astronomers, but he did not succeed in\r\nforecasting the exact day (May 28th) or the hour of the spectacular\r\nevent.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 66 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Joly, Norman F. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: May 1, 1993 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Joly, Norman F. \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211081547933,"sku":"gb-66-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/66_d35583a1-ac5b-4466-8553-46ed24f1827f.jpg?v=1671247333"},{"product_id":"email-101-gb-75","title":"Email 101","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eE-mail 101\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you like those little machines that give you 24 hour access to your\r\nbank account, you'll love the Internet.  I suppose there are still\r\npeople who, given a choice, will go to a drive-through teller just so\r\nthey can deal with a \"live person\" instead of a machine.  But even those\r\npeople will admit that it is nice to have the option of doing things for\r\nyourself, on your own schedule, anywhere.  Do you remember what it was\r\nlike before automatic tellers?  Banks closed at 3 p.m. on weekdays.\r\nEach Saturday you had to guess how much money you would need for the\r\nfollowing week.  If you were wrong you had to cash a check at a food\r\nstore (and maybe buy something you didn't want).  And if you were out of\r\ntown?  Well, there were always credit cards.\nWe don't do that anymore.  I think many people go to the automatic\r\nteller because they like the privacy of handling their own business\r\nwithout having to explain it all to someone else.  And we like the\r\nillusion of having access to our \"own\" account anytime we want.\r\nThere are disadvantages to using an automatic teller card tooyou may\r\nhave to pay a fee each month or even for each transactionand you have\r\nto remember to deduct those fees from your account balance or you will\r\nbounce checks.

It deals\r\nwith the practical aspects of using the rapidly growing global online\r\ninformation resource.\r\n    The book is distributed in a form that is designed to be easily\r\naccessible with the maximum range of computers, printer types, and\r\nsearch programs. Also, it has been designed to be compatible with\r\nelectronic reading devices for the blind. Therefore, many frills\r\n(such as fancy formatting, extraneous characters or tags) have been\r\nomitted.\r\n    The main subject of the book is what you can get out of the\r\nonline resource.\r\n    Expect an outline, not a comprehensive list or directory of all\r\navailable offerings. This book explores selected applications\r\nacross network and service boundaries, to show how these needs may\r\nbe satisfied.\r\n    In the process, it gives access information for a large number\r\nof specific online offerings.\r\n    The applications range from entertainment and the bizarre to\r\ndatabases and special services for professionals and organizations.\r\n    You are not expected to live in the United States or in Norway.\r\nEmphasis is on major international offerings available through\r\nservices and networks like the Internet, BITNET, CompuServe, Echo,\r\nFidoNet, Usenet, Dialcom, Dow Jones\/News Retrieval, MCI, NewsNet\r\nand UUCP. These services can be accessed from almost anywhere.\r\n    Talking about the Internet, we do not expect that it will be\r\neasy for you to get full access. We assume that most people can get\r\naccess to this network by electronic mail only.\r\n    I wrote The Online World for parents and youth, teachers,\r\nstudents, business people, social workers, psychologists, young,\r\nold, for anybody interested in knowing a bit more about our\r\ncurrent \"Global Village.\"\r\n    You can read it like a novel, to get an idea of what is going\r\non. It can be used as a practical guide book to online data bases\r\nand news sources, or as a book of reference.\r\n    You need not be a computer expert or an experienced \"onliner\"\r\nto find it useful.\r\n    While not being a textbook on data communications, it contains\r\nmuch information to help novices get started. For an introduction\r\nto telecommunications, check out appendix 2 and 3 before continuing\r\nwith Chapter 1.\r\n    Before you start, one word of warning. New online offerings are\r\nborn each day, while others are being closed down.

EFF is a\r\nnonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C., dedicated to ensuring\r\nthat everyone has access to the newly emerging communications technologies\r\nvital to active participation in the events of our world.  As more and more\r\ninformation is available online, new doors open up for those who have\r\naccess to that information.  Unfortunately, unless access is broadly\r\nencouraged, individuals can be disenfranchised and doors can close, as\r\nwell. The Big Dummy's Guide to the Internet was written to help open some\r\ndoors to the vast amounts of information available on the world's largest\r\nnetwork, the Internet.\r\n        The spark for the Big Dummy's Guide to the Internet was ignited in\r\na few informal conversations that included myself and Steve Cisler of Apple\r\nComputer, Inc., in June of 1991.  With the support of Apple Computer, EFF\r\nengaged Adam Gaffin to write the book and actually took on the project in\r\nSeptember of 1991.\r\n        The idea was to write a guide to the Internet for people who had\r\nlittle or no experience with network communications.  We intended to post\r\nthis guide to the Net in ASCII and HyperCard formats and to give it away on\r\ndisk, as well as have a print edition available.  We have more than\r\nrealized our goal.  Individuals from as geographically far away as Germany,\r\nItaly, Canada, South Africa, Japan, Scotland, Norway, and Antarctica have\r\nall sent electronic mail to say that they downloaded the Big Dummy's Guide\r\nto the Internet.  The guide is now available in a wide array of formats,\r\nincluding ACSCII text, HyperCard, World Wide Web, PostScript and\r\nAmigaGuide.  And the guide will be published in a printed format by MIT\r\nPress in June of 1994.\r\n        EFF would like to thank author Adam Gaffin for doing a terrific job\r\nof explaining the Net in such a nonthreatening way.  We'd also like to\r\nthank the folks at Apple, especially Steve Cisler of the Apple Library, for\r\ntheir support of our efforts to bring this guide to you.\r\n        We invite you to join with EFF in our fight to ensure that equal\r\naccess to the networks and free speech are protected in newly emerging\r\ntechnologies.  We are a membership organization, and through donations like\r\nyours, we can continue to sponsor important projects to make communications\r\neasier.  Information about the Electronic Frontier Foundation and some of\r\nthe work that we do can be found at the end of this book.\r\n        We hope that the Big Dummy's Guide to the Internet helps you learn\r\nabout whole new worlds, where new friends and experiences are sure to be\r\nyours.

There is a\nparish of Stevenston in Cunningham; a second place of the name in\nthe Barony of Bothwell in Lanark; a third on Lyne, above Drochil\nCastle; the fourth on the Tyne, near Traprain Law.\nStevenson of Stevenson (co. Lanark) swore fealty to Edward I in\n1296, and the last of that family died after the\nRestoration. Stevensons of Hirdmanshiels, in Midlothian,\nrode in the Bishops Raid of Aberlady, served as jurors,\nstood bail for neighboursHunter of Polwood, for\ninstanceand became extinct about the same period, or\npossibly earlier. A Stevenson of Luthrie and another of\nPitroddie make their bows, give their names, and vanish.\nAnd by the year 1700 it does not appear that any acre of Scots\nland was vested in any Stevenson. [2a]\nHere is, so far, a melancholy picture of backward progress,\nand a family posting towards extinction. But the law\n(however administered, and I am bound to aver that, in Scotland,\nit couldna weel be waur) acts as a kind of dredge,\nand with dispassionate impartiality brings up into the light of\nday, and shows us for a moment, in the jury-box or on the\ngallows, the creeping things of the past. By these broken\nglimpses we are able to trace the existence of many other and\nmore inglorious Stevensons, picking a private way through the\nbrawl that makes Scots history. They were members of\nParliament for Peebles, Stirling, Pittenweem, Kilrenny, and\nInverurie. We find them burgesses of Edinburgh; indwellers\nin Biggar, Perth, and Dalkeith. Thomas was the forester of\nNewbattle Park, Gavin was a baker, John a maltman, Francis a\nchirurgeon, and Schir William a priest. In\nthe feuds of Humes and Heatleys, Cunninghams, Montgomeries,\nMures, Ogilvies, and Turnbulls, we find them inconspicuously\ninvolved, and apparently getting rather better than they\ngave. Schir William (reverend gentleman) was cruellie\nslaughtered on the Links of Kincraig in 1582; James (in\nthe mill-town of Roberton), murdered in 1590; Archibald\n(in Gallowfarren), killed with shots of pistols and\nhagbuts in 1608. Three violent deaths in about seventy\nyears, against which we can only put the case of Thomas, servant\nto Hume of Cowden Knowes, who was arraigned with his two young\nmasters for the death of the Bastard of Mellerstanes in\n1569. John (in Dalkeith) stood sentry without\nHolyrood while the banded lords were despatching Rizzio\nwithin. William, at the ringing of Perth bell, ran before\nGowrie House with ane sword, and, entering to the yearde,\nsaw George Craiggingilt with ane twa-handit sword and utheris\nnychtbouris; at quilk time James Boig cryit ower ane wynds,\nAwa hame! ye will all be hangita\npiece of advice which William took, and immediately\ndepairtit. John got a maid with child to him\nin Biggar, and seemingly deserted her; she was hanged on the\nCastle Hill for infanticide, June 1614; and Martin, elder in\nDalkeith, eternally disgraced the name by signing witness in a\nwitch trial, 1661. These are two of our black sheep. [3a] Under the Restoration, one\nStevenson was a bailie in Edinburgh, and another the lessee of\nthe Canonmills. There were at the same period two\nphysicians of the name in Edinburgh, one of whom, Dr. Archibald,\nappears to have been a famous man in his day and\ngeneration. The Court had continual need of him; it was he\nwho reported, for instance, on the state of Rumbold; and he was\nfor some time in the enjoyment of a pension of a thousand pounds\nScots (about eighty pounds sterling) at a time when five hundred\npounds is described as an opulent future. I\ndo not know if I should be glad or sorry that he failed to keep\nfavour; but on 6th January 1682 (rather a cheerless New\nYears present) his pension was expunged. [4a] There need be no doubt, at least,\nof my exultation at the fact that he was knighted and recorded\narms. Not quite so genteel, but still in public life, Hugh\nwas Under-Clerk to the Privy Council, and liked being so\nextremely. I gather this from his conduct in September\n1681, when, with all the lords and their servants, he took the\nwoful and soul-destroying Test, swearing it word by word\nupon his knees. And, behold! it was in vain, for\nHugh was turned out of his small post in 1684. [4b] Sir Archibald and Hugh were both\nplainly inclined to be trimmers; but there was one witness of the\nname of Stevenson who held high the banner of the\nCovenantJohn, Land-Labourer, [4c] in the parish of Daily, in\nCarrick, that eminently pious man. He\nseems to have been a poor sickly soul, and shows himself disabled\nwith scrofula, and prostrate and groaning aloud with fever; but\nthe enthusiasm of the martyr burned high within him.\nI was made to take joyfully the spoiling of my goods,\nand with pleasure for His names sake wandered in deserts\nand in mountains, in dens and caves of the earth. I lay\nfour months in the coldest season of the year in a haystack in my\nfathers garden, and a whole February in the open fields\nnot far from Camragen, and this I did without the least prejudice\nfrom the night air; one night, when lying in the fields near to\nthe Carrick-Miln, I was all covered with snow in the\nmorning. Many nights have I lain with pleasure in the\nchurchyard of Old Daily, and made a grave my pillow; frequently\nhave I resorted to the old walls about the glen, near to\nCamragen, and there sweetly rested. The visible band\nof God protected and directed him. Dragoons were turned\naside from the bramble-bush where he lay hidden. Miracles\nwere performed for his behoof. I got a horse and a\nwoman to carry the child, and came to the same mountain, where I\nwandered by the mist before; it is commonly known by the name of\nKellsrhins: when we came to go up the mountain, there came on a\ngreat rain, which we thought was the occasion of the\nchilds weeping, and she wept so bitterly, that all we\ncould do could not divert her from it, so that she was ready to\nburst. When we got to the top of the mountain, where the\nLord had been formerly kind to my soul in prayer, I looked round\nme for a stone, and espying one, I went and brought it.\nWhen the woman with me saw me set down the stone, she smiled, and\nasked what I was going to do with it. I told her I was\ngoing to set it up as my Ebenezer, because hitherto, and in that\nplace, the Lord had formerly helped, and I hoped would yet\nhelp. The rain still continuing, the child weeping\nbitterly, I went to prayer, and no sooner did I cry to God, but\nthe child gave over weeping, and when we got up from prayer, the\nrain was pouring down on every side, but in the way where we were\nto go there fell not one drop; the place not rained on was as big\nas an ordinary avenue. And so great a saint was the\nnatural butt of Satans persecutions. I\nretired to the fields for secret prayer about mid-night.\nWhen I went to pray I was much straitened, and could not get one\nrequest, but Lord pity, Lord help;\nthis I came over frequently; at length the terror of Satan fell\non me in a high degree, and all I could say even then\nwasLord help. I continued in the duty\nfor some time, notwithstanding of this terror. At length I\ngot up to my feet, and the terror still increased; then the enemy\ntook me by the arm-pits, and seemed to lift me up by my\narms.

On the other hand, the\r\nairship, being provided with engines to propel it through the air, and\r\nwith rudders and elevators to control it for direction and height, can\r\nbe steered in whatever direction is desired, and voyages can be made\r\nfrom one place to another--always provided that the force of the wind\r\nis not sufficiently strong to overcome the power of the engines.

In no other trend of human endeavour is this\n      factor so potently demonstrated as in connection with Man's Conquest of\n      the Air.\n    \n\n      The dogged struggle against the blind forces of Nature was waged\n      tenaciously and perseveringly for centuries. But the measure of success\n      recorded from time to time was so disappointing as to convey the\n      impression, except in a limited circle, that the problem was impossible of\n      solution. In the meantime wondrous changes had taken place in the methods\n      of transportation by land and sea. The steam and electric railway, steam\n      propulsion of vessels, and mechanical movement along the highroads had\n      been evolved and advanced to a high standard of perfection, to the untold\n      advantage of the community. Consequently it was argued, if only a system\n      of travel along the aerial highways could be established, then all other\n      methods of mechanical transportation would be rendered, if not entirely\n      obsolete, at least antiquated.\n    \n\n      At last man triumphed over Natureat least to such a degree as to\n      inspire the confidence of the world at large, and to bring aerial travel\n      and transportation within range of realisation.

We will try add 800 more,\r\nduring 1997, but it will take all the effort we can manage to do\r\nthe doubling of our library again this year, what with the other\r\nmassive requirements it is going to take to get incorporated and\r\nestablish something that will have some permanence.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 817 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Raymond, Eric S. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Feb 1, 1997 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Raymond, Eric S., 1957- , Steele, Guy L., 1954-\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Raymond, Eric S.,1957- \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211181719709,"sku":"gb-817-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/817_9528d73f-8705-4757-b36d-0ba0e6880df0.jpg?v=1671248866"},{"product_id":"the-aeroplane-speaks-gb-818","title":"The Aeroplane Speaks","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Aeroplane Speaks\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\r\n      The reasons impelling me to write this book, the maiden effort of my pen,\r\n      are, firstly, a strong desire to help the ordinary man to understand the\r\n      Aeroplane and the joys and troubles of its Pilot; and, secondly, to\r\n      produce something of PRACTICAL assistance to the Pilot and his invaluable\r\n      assistant the Rigger.

Three million telephones are now scattered abroad in foreign\n      countries, and seven millions are massed here, in the land of its birth.\n    \n\n      So entirely has the telephone outgrown the ridicule with which, as many\n      people can well remember, it was first received, that it is now in most\n      places taken for granted, as though it were a part of the natural\n      phenomena of this planet. It has so marvellously extended the facilities\n      of conversationthat \"art in which a man has all mankind for\n      competitors\"that it is now an indispensable help to whoever would\n      live the convenient life. The disadvantage of being deaf and dumb to all\n      absent persons, which was universal in pre-telephonic days, has now\n      happily been overcome; and I hope that this story of how and by whom it\n      was done will be a welcome addition to American libraries.\n    \n\n      It is such a story as the telephone itself might tell, if it could speak\n      with a voice of its own. It is not technical. It is not statistical. It is\n      not exhaustive. It is so brief, in fact, that a second volume could\n      readily be made by describing the careers of telephone leaders whose names\n      I find have been omitted unintentionally from this booksuch\n      indispensable men, for instance, as William R.

No attempt has been made to conform with strictly scientific\n      terminology, but, for the benefit of the general reader, well-understood\n      conventional expressions, such as \"flow of current,\" etc., have been\n      employed.

No discovery, in the whole range of\r\n      history, has elicited an equal degree of applause and admirationnever\r\n      has the genius of man won a triumph which at first blush seemed more\r\n      glorious. The mathematical and physical sciences had in aeronautics\r\n      achieved apparently their greatest honours, and inaugurated a new era in\r\n      the progress of knowledge. After having subjected the earth to their\r\n      power; after having made the waves of the sea stoop in submission under\r\n      the keels of their ships; after having caught the lightning of heaven and\r\n      made it subservient to the ordinary purposes of life, the genius of man\r\n      undertook to conquer the regions of the air. Imagination, intoxicated with\r\n      past successes, could descry no limit to human power; the gates of the\r\n      infinite seemed to be swinging back before mans advancing step, and the\r\n      last was believed to be the greatest of his achievements.\r\n    \n\r\n      In order to comprehend the frenzy of the enthusiasm which the first\r\n      aeronautic triumphs called forth, it is necessary to recall the appearance\r\n      of Montgolfier at Versailles, on the 19th of September, 1783, before Louis\r\n      XVI, or of the earliest aeronauts at the Tuileries. Paris hailed the first\r\n      of these men with the greatest acclaim, and then, as now, says a French\r\n      writer, the voice of Paris gave the cue to France, and France to the\r\n      world! Nobles and artisans, scientific men and badauds, great and small,\r\n      were moved with one universal impulse. In the streets the praises of the\r\n      balloon were sung; in the libraries models of it abounded; and in the\r\n      salons the one universal topic was the great machine. In anticipation,\r\n      the poet delighted himself with birds-eye views of the scenery of strange\r\n      countries; the prisoner mused on what might be a new way of escape; the\r\n      physicist visited the laboratory in which the lightning and the meteors\r\n      were manufactured; the geometrician beheld the plans of cities and the\r\n      outlines of kingdoms; the general discovered the position of the enemy or\r\n      rained shells on the besieged town; the police beheld a new mode in which\r\n      to carry on the secret service; Hope heralded a new conquest from the\r\n      domain of nature, and the historian registered a new chapter in the annals\r\n      of human knowledge.\r\n    \n\r\n      Scientific discoveries in general, says Arago, even those from which\r\n      men expect the most advantage, like those of the compass and the\r\n      steam-engine, were greeted at first with contempt, or at the best with\r\n      indifference. Political events, and the fortunes of armies monopolised\r\n      almost entirely the attention of the people. But to this rule there are\r\n      two exceptionsthe discoveries of America and of aerostatics, the\r\n      advents of Columbus and of Montgolfier. It is not here our duty to\r\n      inquire how it happened that the discoveries made by these two personages\r\n      are classed together. Air-travelling may be as unproductive of actual good\r\n      to society as filling the belly with the east wind is to the body, while\r\n      every one knows something of the extent to which the discovery of Columbus\r\n      has influenced the character, the civilisation, the destinies, in short,\r\n      of the human race. We are speaking at present of the known and\r\n      well-attested fact, that the discovery of America and the discovery of the\r\n      method of traversing space by means of balloonshowever they may\r\n      differ in respect of results to manrank equally in this, that of\r\n      all other discoveries these two have attracted the greatest amount of\r\n      attention, and given, in their respective eras, the greatest impulse to\r\n      popular feeling. Let the reader recall the marks of enthusiasm which the\r\n      discovery of the islands on the east coast of America excited in\r\n      Andalusia, in Catalonia, in Aragon and Castilelet him read the\r\n      narrative of the honours paid by town and village, not only to the hero of\r\n      the enterprise, but even to his commonest sailors, and then let him search\r\n      the records of the epoch for the degree of sensation produced by the\r\n      discovery of aeronautics in France, which stands in the same relationship\r\n      to this event as that in which Spain stands to the other. The processions\r\n      of Seville and Barcelona are the exact prototypes of the fetes of Lyons\r\n      and Paris. In France, in 1783, as in Spain two centuries previously, the\r\n      popular imagination was so greatly excited by the deeds performed, that it\r\n      began to believe in possibilities of the most unlikely description. In\r\n      Spain, the conquestadores and their followers believed that in a few days\r\n      after they had landed on American soil, they would have gathered as much\r\n      gold and precious stones, as were then possessed by the richest European\r\n      Sovereigns. In France, each one following his own notions, made out for\r\n      himself special benefits to flow from the discovery of balloons. Every\r\n      discovery then appeared to be only the precursor of other and greater\r\n      discoveries, and nothing after that time seemed to be impossible to him\r\n      who attempted the conquest of the atmosphere. This idea clothed itself in\r\n      every form. The young embraced it with enthusiasm, the old made it the\r\n      subject of endless regrets. When one of the first aeronautic ascents was\r\n      made, the old Marechal Villeroi, an octogenarian and an invalid, was\r\n      conducted to one of the windows of the Tuileries, almost by force, for he\r\n      did not believe in balloons. The balloon, meanwhile, detached itself from\r\n      its moorings; the physician Charles, seated in the car, gaily saluted the\r\n      public, and was then majestically launched into space in his air-boat; and\r\n      at once the old Marechal, beholding this, passed suddenly from unbelief to\r\n      perfect faith in aerostatics and in the capacity of the human mind, fell\r\n      on his knees, and, with his eyes bathed in tears, moaned out pitifully the\r\n      words, Yes, it is fixed! It is certain! They will find out the secret of\r\n      avoiding death; but it will be after I am gone!\r\n     \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 899 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Marion, Fulgence \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: May 1, 1997 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublication Date\u003c\/b\u003e: 1870 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Marion, Fulgence \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43211198103709,"sku":"gb-899-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/899_d3ac37ad-6262-4750-8735-958e62022dbe.jpg?v=1671249027"},{"product_id":"flying-machines-construction-and-operation-gb-907","title":"Flying Machines: Construction and Operation","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlying Machines: Construction and Operation\r - A Practical Book Which Shows, in Illustrations, Working Plans and Text, How to Build and Navigate the Modern Airship\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n      This book is written for the guidance of the novice in aviationthe\n      man who seeks practical information as to the theory, construction and\n      operation of the modern flying machine.

I put\n      this Fellow upon an Account of his office: Where he fell to Discourse of\n      this Palate-Science, with such a settled Countenance and Magisterial\n      Gravity, as if he had been handling some profound Point of Divinity. He\n      made a Learned Distinction of the several sorts of Appetites, of that of a\n      Man before he begins to eat, and of those after the second and third\n      Service: The Means simply to satisfy the first, and then to raise and\n      acute the other two: The ordering of the Sauces, first in general, and\n      then proceeded to the Qualities of the Ingredients, and their Effects: The\n      Differences of Sallets, according to their seasons, which ought to be\n      serv'd up hot, and which cold: The Manner of their Garnishment and\n      Decoration, to render them yet more acceptable to the Eye after which he\n      entered upon the Order of the whole Service, full of weighty and important\n      Considerations.\"\n    \n\n      It is consistent with Montaigne's large-minded habit thus to applaud the\n      gifts of this master of his art who happened not to be a Frenchman. It is\n      a canon of belief with the modern Englishman that the French alone can\n      achieve excellence in the art of cookery, and when once a notion of this\n      sort shall have found a lodgment in an Englishman's brain, the task of\n      removing it will be a hard one. Not for a moment is it suggested that\n      Englishmen or any one else should cease to recognise the sovereign merits\n      of French cookery; all that is entreated is toleration, and perchance\n      approval, of cookery of other schools. But the favourable consideration of\n      any plea of this sort is hindered by the fact that the vast majority of\n      Englishmen when they go abroad find no other school of cookery by the\n      testing of which they may form a comparison. This universal prevalence of\n      French cookery may be held to be a proof of its supreme excellencethat\n      it is first, and the rest nowhere; but the victory is not so complete as\n      it seems, and the facts would bring grief and humiliation rather than\n      patriotic pride to the heart of a Frenchman like Brillat-Savarin. For the\n      cookery we meet in the hotels of the great European cities, though it may\n      be based on French traditions, is not the genuine thing, but a bastard,\n      cosmopolitan growth, the same everywhere, and generally vapid and\n      uninteresting. French cookery of the grand school suffers by being\n      associated with such commonplace achievements. It is noted in the\n      following pages how rarely English people on their travels penetrate where\n      true Italian cookery may be tasted, wherefore it has seemed worth while to\n      place within the reach of English housewives some Italian recipes which\n      are especially fitted for the presentation of English fare to English\n      palates under a different and not unappetising guise. Most of them will be\n      found simple and inexpensive, and special care has been taken to include\n      those recipes which enable the less esteemed portions of meat and the\n      cheaper vegetables and fish to be treated more elaborately than they have\n      hitherto been treated by English cooks.\n    \n\n      The author wishes to tender her acknowledgments to her husband for certain\n      suggestions and emendations made in the revision of the introduction, and\n      for his courage in dining, \"greatly daring,\" off many of the dishes. He\n      still lives and thrives. Also to Mrs. Mitchell, her cook, for the interest\n      and enthusiasm she has shown in the work, for her valuable advice, and for\n      the care taken in testing the recipes.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 930 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Waters, W.

Everywhere he goes, people know he\r\nlikes chicken and the best chefs and hostesses in the world\r\nhave served it to him.\"  In my mind I ran through some of\r\nthe times when together we'd driven an hour out of the way\r\nto go to a restaurant that cooked chicken particularly\r\nwell, and how he always seemed to have lists of the\r\nrestaurants he wanted to visit.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 1979 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Perdue, Mitzi \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Nov 1, 1999 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Perdue, Mitzi \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212206473373,"sku":"gb-1979-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/1979_73ad4ede-f6cd-4e15-98a7-59c49f7dfbd4.jpg?v=1671252149"},{"product_id":"the-civilization-of-illiteracy-gb-2481","title":"The Civilization of Illiteracy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Civilization of Illiteracy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFamily: Discovering the Primitive Future\r\n\r\nTogetherness\r\n\r\nThe quest for permanency\r\n\r\nWhat breaks down when family fails?\r\n\r\nThe homosexual family\r\n\r\nTo want a child\r\n\r\nChildren in the illiterate family\r\n\r\nA new individuality\r\n\r\nDiscontinuity\r\n\r\nHow advanced the past.

Though some technical material\r\nis included for background and flavor, it is not a technical\r\ndictionary; what we describe here is the language hackers use\r\namong themselves for fun, social communication, and technical\r\ndebate.\nThe `hacker culture' is actually a loosely networked\r\ncollection of subcultures that is nevertheless conscious of some\r\nimportant shared experiences, shared roots, and shared values. It\r\nhas its own myths, heroes, villains, folk epics, in-jokes,\r\ntaboos, and dreams. Because hackers as a group are particularly\r\ncreative people who define themselves partly by rejection of\r\n`normal' values and working habits, it has unusually rich and\r\nconscious traditions for an intentional culture less than 40\r\nyears old.\nAs usual with slang, the special vocabulary of hackers helps\r\nhold their culture together -- it helps hackers recognize each\r\nother's places in the community and expresses shared values and\r\nexperiences. Also as usual, not knowing the slang (or\r\nusing it inappropriately) defines one as an outsider, a mundane,\r\nor (worst of all in hackish vocabulary) possibly even a suit. All human cultures use slang in this\r\nthreefold way -- as a tool of communication, and of inclusion,\r\nand of exclusion.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 3008 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Raymond, Eric S. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 1, 2002 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Raymond, Eric S., 1957- , Steele, Guy L., 1954-\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Raymond, Eric S.,1957- \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212297240733,"sku":"gb-3008-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/3008_7d07a7f9-7c0f-4c3d-a74e-772b23f6cf04.jpg?v=1671254794"},{"product_id":"getting-gold-a-practical-treatise-for-prospectors-miners-and-students-gb-3679","title":"Getting Gold: A Practical Treatise for Prospectors, Miners and Students","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGetting Gold: A Practical Treatise for Prospectors, Miners and Students\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n      Some six years ago the author published a small book entitled \"Practical\n      Mining,\" designed specially for the use of those engaged in the always\n      fascinating, though not as invariably profitable, pursuit of \"Getting\n      Gold.\" Of this ten thousand copies were sold, nearly all in Australasia,\n      and the work is now out of print. The London Mining Journal of\n      September 9th, 1891, said of it: \"We have seldom seen a book in which so\n      much interesting matter combined with useful information is given in so\n      small a space.\"\n    \n\n      The gold-mining industry has grown considerably since 1891, and it\n      appeared to the writer that the present would be a propitious time to\n      bring out a similar work, but with a considerably enlarged scope.

Wicken\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough this work fully deals with all the many matters connected with\nthe art of living in Australia, its principal object is the attempt to\nbring about some improvement in the extraordinary food-habits at\npresent in vogue. For years past the fact that our people live in\ndirect opposition to their semi-tropical environment has been\nconstantly before me. As it will be found in the opening portion of the\nchapter on School Cookery, the consumption of butcher's meat and of tea\nis enormously in excess of any common sense requirements, and is\nparalleled nowhere else in the world. On the other hand, there has been\nno real attempt to develop our deep-sea fisheries; market gardening is\ndeplorably neglected, only a few of the more ordinary varieties being\ncultivated; salads, which are easily within the daily reach of every\nhome, are conspicuous by their absence; and Australian wine, which\nshould be the national beverage of every-day life, is at tablealmost\na curiosity.\nNearly three years have been occupied in the preparation of this\nvolume, as several of the subjects it treats of have hitherto remained\npractically unexplored. This statement is not intended to excuse\nany shortcomings, but simply to explain the impediments which had to be\novercome. There has been some little difficulty, therefore, in\nobtaining information in many instances. At the same time, it must be\ncheerfully recorded that assistance was freely forthcoming on the part\nof those from whom it was sought. Quite a number have been interviewed\non the topics with which they were familiar; and on several occasions\nthis has necessitated journeys out of Sydney on the writer's part. With\nthe object of making inquiries into the fish supply of Melbourne, also,\na special visit was paid to that city. And further, in order to gain an\ninsight into vineyard work and cellar management, an instructive time\nwas passed at Dr. T. Fiaschi's magnificent Tizzana vineyard on the\nHawkesbury River.\nIt may seem to savour somewhat of boldness, yet I hazard the opinion\nthat the real development of Australia will never actually begin till\nthis wilful violation of her people's food-life ceases. For let us\nsuppose that the semi-tropical character of our Australian life was\nduly appreciated by one and all. If such were the caseand I would it\nwere sothere would be a wonderful change from the present state of\naffairs. But as it is, the manners and customs of the Australians are a\nperpetual challenge to the range of temperature in which they live.\nIndeed, the form of food they indulge in proves incontestably\nthat they have never yet realized their semi-tropical environment. With\na proper recognition of existing climatic surroundings there would be\nan overwhelming demand for more fish food; for something better than\nthe present Liliputian supply; and for the creation of extensive deep-sea\nfisheries. Fish in Australia is nothing more than a high-priced\nluxury, although projects for the development of the deep-sea fisheries\nhave been repeatedly suggested. Somehow or other we never get beyond\nthis stage, and as a consequence the yield from our fisheries is simply\npitiable. A widespread use of fish and an adequate fish supply would\ngive employment to hundreds and to thousands. As I have pointed out in\nthe chapter relating to this subject, the want of enterprise shown in\nstarting our deep-sea fisheries is an inexplicable anomaly. If the\nAustralian people had sprung from an inland race, this would not,\nperhaps, have been so difficult to understand. But coming, as we do,\nfrom a stock the most maritime the world has ever seen, such a defect\nis not to our credit as inheritors of the old traditions.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 4219 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Muskett, Philip E. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jul 1, 2003 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Muskett, Philip E.,-1909 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212404621469,"sku":"gb-4219-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/4219_14de7c75-6af3-4bab-bf15-18e4c22375ae.jpg?v=1671277591"},{"product_id":"on-the-economy-of-machinery-and-manufactures-gb-4238","title":"On the Economy of Machinery and Manufactures","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOn the Economy of Machinery and Manufactures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe object of the present volume is to point out the effects\r\nand the advantages which arise from the use of tools and\r\nmachines;to endeavour to classify their modes of action;and to\r\ntrace both the causes and the consequences of applying machinery\r\nto supersede the skill and power of the human arm.\nA view of the mechanical part of the subject will, in the\r\nfirst instance, occupy our attention, and to this the first\r\nsection of the work will be devoted.

The eleventh chapter\r\ncontains numerous subdivisions, and is important from the\r\nextensive classification it affords of the arts in which copying\r\nis so largely employed. The twelfth chapter, which completes the\r\nfirst section, contains a few suggestions for the assistance of\r\nthose who propose visiting manufactories.\nThe second section, after an introductory chapter on the\r\ndifference between making and manufacturing, will contain, in the\r\nsucceeding chapters, a discussion of many of the questions which\r\nrelate to the political economy of the subject.
