The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.This collection reveals the history of English common law and Empire law in a vastly changing world of British expansion. Dominating the legal field is the Commentaries of the Law of England by Sir William Blackstone, which first appeared in 1765. Reference works such as almanacs and catalogues continue to educate us by revealing the day-to-day workings of society.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

There is no question that Chicago is an architecturally significant city. But before Louis Henry Sullivan, John Wellborn Root, and Frank Lloyd Wright, before modernism, there lived a man whose designs built it from the ground up. Written by his descendant, retired architect Burtram C. Hopkins II, more than a century later, this book traces the incredible mark left on Chicago by architect John Mills Van Osdel-a mark tragically largely wiped out by the Great Fire of 1871. From the time he arrived in 1837 to his death in 1891, Van Osdel watched the city swell from a village of around a thousand people to a bustling metropolis of hundreds of thousands. Though his name is little known today, he played a crucial role in establishing architecture as a discipline in Chicago, drafting the Chicago Architect's Code (one of the first of its kind), laying the groundwork for the skyscrapers that would become the hallmark of the First Chicago School of Architecture, and contributing hundreds of architecturally significant structures to the growing urban landscape-as well as countless more (some still surviving) in other parts of Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, and Arkansas.Van Osdel's impact would reverberate in large part through his family, many of whom themselves pursued architectural and artistic careers-including his nephew and business partner, John Mills Van Osdel II. This truly encyclopedic book traces this inheritance, with a section on Van Osdel II, doubling as both an architectural history and a work of family genealogy. Vast in scope and exhaustively detailed, it is sure to make an invaluable addition to the shelves of anyone interested in this powerhouse of American architecture and his influential family, who helped transform Chicago from a frontier town on Lake Michigan to the capital of industry it is today.

Today's science museums descend from the Kunst-und Wunderkammern of the Renaissance-collectors' private cabinets of curiosities-through the Crystal Palace exhibition of 1851 to today's "interactive" exhibits promising educational fun. In this book, Michael John Gorman issues a provocative call for the transformation of science museums and science centers from institutions dedicated to the transmission of cultural capital to dynamic "idea colliders" that spark creative collaborations and connections. This new kind of science museum would not stage structured tableaux of science facts but would draw scientists into conversation with artists, designers, policymakers, and the public. Rather than insulating visitors from each other with apps and audio guides, the science museum would consider each visitor a resource, bringing questions, ideas, and experiences from a unique perspective.Gorman, founder of the trailblazing Science Gallery, describes three scenarios for science museums of the future-the Megamuseum Mall, "the Cirque de Soleil of the science museum world"; the Cloud Chamber, a local space for conversations and co-creation; and the invisible museum, digital device-driven informal science learning. He discusses hybrids that experiment with science and art and science galleries that engage with current research, encouraging connection, participation and surprise. Finally, he identifies ten key shifts in the evolution of science museums, including those from large to small, from interactive to participatory, from enclosed to porous, and from subject-specific to cross-disciplinary.
