Gearing of Lathes for Screwcutting

Autor: Brian Wood

Número de Páginas: 251

Gearing of Lathes for Screwcutting is aimed specifically at the engineer for use in the workshop. It is intended to take away as much as possible of the mathematics and mystique from calculating gear ratios, so that the more enjoyable work of using your lathe to make things becomes as easy as possible. Topics covered in this latest addition to the Crowood Metalworking Guides include Myford and other types of lathes; approximations and alternatives; errors and their significance and the non-gearbox mini-lathe. Fully illustrated with 102 colour photographs.

People and Things from the Blount County, Alabama, Blount County Journal 1909 - 1918

Autor: Robin Sterling

Número de Páginas: 422

The Blount Count Journal published in Oneonta from 1909 to 1918. Compared to other Blount County papers, the Journal was only a small blip on the journalistic radar in Blount County. However, it is an often overlooked and untapped source of great genealogical and historical knowledge. While some of the articles mirror those published in its contemporary publications, often the Journal captured other obituaries and news missed by the Democrat. Most of the original copies of the Journal were found in the court house in Oneonta. These were reviewed for notices of births, marriages, obituaries and interesting news items. Missing issues from the court house were reviewed at the State Archives in Montgomery. This book will add to the body of knowledge of Blount County, Alabama and will serve as a useful tool for area genealogists and historians.

The Forgotten Songs of the Newfoundland Outports

Autor: Anna Kearney Guigné

Número de Páginas: 462

In 1951, musician Kenneth Peacock (1922–2000) secured a contract from the National Museum of Canada (today the Canadian Museum of History) to collect folksongs in Newfoundland. As the province had recently joined Confederation, the project was deemed a goodwill gesture, while at the same time adding to the Museum’s meager Anglophone archival collections. Between 1951 and 1961, over the course of six field visits, Peacock collected 766 songs and melodies from 118 singers in 38 communities, later publishing two-thirds of this material in a three-volume collection, Songs of the Newfoundland Outports (1965). As the publication consists of over 1000 pages, Outports is considered to be a bible for Newfoundland singers and a valuable resource for researchers. However, Peacock’s treatment of the material by way of tune-text collations, use of lines and stanzas from unpublished songs has always been somewhat controversial. Additionally, comparison of the field collection with Outports indicates that although Peacock acquired a range of material, his personal preferences requently guided his publishing agenda. To ensure that the songs closely correspond to what the singers presented...

Lancashire's Seaside Piers

Autor: Martin Easdown

Número de Páginas: 316

In this, a companion volume to his definitive history of Yorkshires pleasure piers, Martin Easdown turns his expert attention westward to the Lancashire coast. His highly illustrated survey of the piers constructed at famous resorts like Blackpool, Morecambe, Southport and St Annes-on-Sea celebrates structures that are among the most exuberant and evocative of the Victorian age. Each of these historic piers has its own character and story, yet all of them represent the optimistic style of the British seaside resort at the peak of its popularity. In those days the Lancashire coast, and Blackpool in particular, became the principal holiday destination for the workers of the nearby industrial towns during their Wakes Weeks. The piers that survive are fascinating relics of that lost age.In this meticulously researched account, Martin Easdown describes how these extraordinary buildings came to be constructed, how they were designed and financed, how they were used, and how hazards beset them fire, storm, ship collision, war damage and ever-present threat of insolvency. His entertaining book reveals and records a neglected aspect of the history of Lancashire and the northwest.

Autor: Miguel Ángel Millán Atenciano

Número de Páginas: 316

El presente estudio titulado “Non omnis moriar” (No moriré del todo), presenta un trabajo multidisciplinar por las distintas áreas que afronta trasversalmente permitiendo acceder en una primera parte a un análisis filosófico antropológico que tiene al ser como objeto de su reflexión humana. Por una parte, la presencia del ser dialógico que nos presenta el filósofo Vienes Martin Buber (1878-1965). A continuación, el valor de la fecundidad que nos abre al ser anunciado por Emmanuel Lévinas (1906-1995) y por último la reflexión hermenéutica de Paul Ricouer (1913-2005) que nos ayuda a comprender la mutua interacción entre Ciencia y Ética en su acción comunicativa hacia la belleza. Posteriormente, en una segunda parte encontraremos en la cinematografía la capacidad de expresar en imágenes trascendentes el conocimiento. Nuestro recorrido cinematográfico nos presenta a tres directores cinematográficos de actualidad como son Alexander Payne (1961), Aki Kaurismäki (1957) y Los Hermanos Dardenne, Jean Pierre (1951) y Luc (1954). En el recorrido filmográfico a través de Citizen Ruth (1996), La Chica de la Fábrica de Cerillas (1990), El silencio de Lorna (2008). El ...

"Se sentir coupable ou impuissant face à une tragédie est pire que le deuil. Dans ces moments-là, on est face à soi-même, face à ses ressources. Sommes-nous tous égaux dans ce domaine ? Le vécu, l'enfance, l'expérience ne nous ont pas tous armés de la même façon. J'avais affronté ma ''montagne'', j'en étais arrivée au bout. Mais je n'y étais pas arrivée seule." Alice Brooke prend rendez-vous avec un spécialiste de la thérapie cognitive pour remédier au mal de vivre qui la ronge.

Two childhood friends from a small village in Sicily …. separated by fate, compelled to live apart in a far-off country, yet so close. The early twentieth century saw the evolution of a socio scientific paradigm that aimed at bringing forth ideal human beings. At the same time lurking in the periphery was a rare genetic illness that was known to be one of the cruellest diseases known to man. One was to prevent the procreation of the sick and the other a killer which had no cure. What could be the consequences of the combination of an unforgiving disease and a social evil of the negative kind? Sometimes the past must be brought forth in the present, for us to understand and never to repeat. Caught up in this conundrum were the myriad characters whose trials and tribulations make up this fictional tale, based on true events in history…... Publications of Partha Pratim Roy:

Altoona

Número de Páginas: 128

Founded in 1868, Altoona was once just a small town on the prairieat least until the planes, trains, and automobiles came. Trains started crossing this town as planes made their way to the Altoona Airport, and the construction of Interstate 80 on Altoonas north edge brought many tourists. The growing community has become known across the state as the Entertainment Capital of Iowa. Altoona is home to Adventureland Park, Iowas largest amusement park, as well as Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino, and it hosted the states first municipal airport, Hanna Air Field. Various innovative individuals called this community home, such as Robert Townsend with his single-pass color printer and George Kurtzweil and his idea to grow the first acre of hybrid seed corn. Altoonas history espouses a unique combination of small-town Iowa traditions and progressive thinkers that make it unforgettable.

Call of the Reed Warbler

Autor: Charles Massy

Número de Páginas: 585

“Charles Massy has written a definitive masterpiece that takes its place along with the writings of Aldo Leopold, Wendell Berry, Masanobu Fukuoka, Humberto Maturana, and Michael Pollan. No work has more brilliantly defined regenerative agriculture and the breadth of its restorative impact upon human health, biodiversity, climate, and ecological intelligence.”—Paul Hawken In Call of the Reed Warbler, Charles Massy explores regenerative agriculture and the vital connection between our soil and our health. It is the story of how a grassroots revolution—a true underground insurgency—can save the planet, help reduce and reverse climate change, and build healthy people and healthy communities, pivoting significantly on our relationship with growing and consuming food. Using his personal experience as a touchstone—from an unknowing, chemical-using farmer with dead soils to a radical ecologist farmer carefully regenerating a 2000-hectare property to a state of natural health—Massy tells the real story behind industrial agriculture and the global profit-obsessed corporations driving it. With evocative stories, he shows how other innovative and courageous farmers are finding a ...

Disruptive Power

Autor: Taylor Owen

Número de Páginas: 265

Anonymous. WikiLeaks. The Syrian Electronic Army. Edward Snowden. Bitcoin. The Arab Spring. Digital communication technologies have thrust the calculus of global political power into a period of unprecedented complexity. In every aspect of international affairs, digitally enabled actors are changing the way the world works and disrupting the institutions that once held a monopoly on power. No area is immune: humanitarianism, war, diplomacy, finance, activism, or journalism. In each, the government departments, international organizations and corporations who for a century were in charge, are being challenged by a new breed of international actor. Online, networked and decentralized, these new actors are innovating, for both good and ill, in the austere world of foreign policy. They are representative of a wide range of 21st century global actors and a new form of 21st century power: disruptive power. In Disruptive Power, Taylor Owen provides a sweeping look at the way that digital technologies are shaking up the workings of the institutions that have traditionally controlled international affairs. The nation state system and the subsequent multinational system were founded on and...
