Teaching Beauty in DeLillo, Woolf, and Merrill

Teaching Beauty in DeLillo, Woolf, and Merrill

J. Green-Lewis; M. Soltan

Palgrave Macmillan
2008
sidottu
What happened to beauty? How did the university literature classroom turn into a seminar on politics? Focusing on such writers as Don DeLillo, Virginia Woolf, and James Merrill, this book examines what has been lost to literature as a discipline, and to literary criticism as a practice, as a result of efforts to reduce the aesthetic to the ideological. Green-Lewis and Soltan celebrate the return of beauty as a subject in its own right to literary studies, a return all the more urgent given beauty s ability to provide not merely consolation but a sense of order and control in the context of a threatening political world.

CSIRO Publishing
2008
nidottu
Grafting and Budding: A Practical Guide for Fruit and Nut Plants and Ornamentals is an updated and expanded version of Grafting and Budding Fruit and Nut Trees and now includes the grafting of ornamental plants. It is a comprehensive and clearly written, practical guide to all of the grafting and budding techniques any professional or home gardener is likely to need. The book begins with a brief history of the subject, explains how grafting works and shows why it is now the preferred technique for propagating most commercial plants. It then describes the basics of budding, grafting and multi-grafting and presents step-by-step instructions for making the special cuts used in grafting and budding. Advice is also given on the selection of scion wood, the preparation of rootstocks and the after-care of grafted plants. The methods of budding and grafting are explained in fine detail, including T-budding, chip budding and patch budding, the splice graft, wedge graft, whip and tongue graft, side graft, bark graft and approach graft, the grafting of herbaceous plants and machine bench grafting. More than 60 sketches and photographs are included to help illustrate various aspects of the skill of grafting. New to this edition are sections covering the preferred methods of propagation for Australian natives such as eucalypts, banksias, hakeas and grevilleas; cacti; conifers; general deciduous ornamentals; black passionfruit; roses and tomatoes, making it an indispensable addition to any avid gardener’s bookshelf.

Excavations recovered one of the largest assemblages of artifacts known for a Folsom site. Individual contributors present their analyses of the stratigraphy, stone tools and debitage, faunal remains, and the spatial patterning of artifacts recovered at the site. The study provides important new data on the patterns of early Paleoindian tool-stone procurement, tool manufacture, and group mobility on the Great Plains at the end of the Pleistocene epoch.For a companion study, see Jerry D. William, ed., The Big Black Site (32DU955C): A Folsom Complex Workshop in the Knife River Flint Quarry Area, North Dakota (Pullman: Washington State University Press, 2001).

Surveying Instruments of Greece and Rome

Surveying Instruments of Greece and Rome

M. J. T. Lewis

Cambridge University Press
2009
pokkari
The Greeks and, especially, the Romans are famous for the heroic engineering of their aqueducts, tunnels and roads. They also measured the circumference of the earth and the heights of mountains with fair precision. This book presents new translations (from Greek, Latin, Arabic, Hebrew and Syriac) of all the ancient texts concerning surveying, including major sources hitherto untapped. It explores the history of surveying instruments, notably the Greek dioptra and the Roman libra, and with the help of tests with reconstructions explains how they were used in practice. This is a subject which has never been tackled before in anything like this depth. The Greeks emerge as the pioneers of instrumental surveying and, though their equipment and methods were simple by modern standards, they and the Romans can be credited with a level of technical sophistication which must count as one of the greatest achievements of the ancient world.

Early Wooden Railways

Early Wooden Railways

M. J. T. Lewis

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
The basic principle of the railway is one of great antiquity and wooden railways were used in many European mines from the fourteenth to the twentieth century. But the most far-reaching developments, as Dr. Lewis shows in this classic and hard-to-find reissued book, originally published in 1970, took place in British coalfields. Here on the many railways that were developed after 1600 the flanged wheel replaced the crude means of guidance found on the Continent and horses were employed to pull large waggons overland from the pits to rivers and harbours. This book, drawing largely on contemporary documents, discuss the early wooden railways of both Britain and Europe in terms of their operation, labour force, costs, engineering and location and demonstrates how these lines had a twofold importance. Economically, in supplying an adequate transport system, they enabled coal to be mined further from the waterways and thus encouraged a vast expansion in the coal trade; and they also laid the firm foundation on which the Railway Age of the nineteenth century was built.

With their minds fixed on finding some treasures, Suhcrom and Naddih have planned a secret pirate adventure, and this time, they've inited their best friends, Sterlin and Rodney, to come along.

As the four friends begin their quest, their imaginations run wild with hopes of finding valuable treasures--treasures like rubies, diamonds and pearls Although some troubles slow them down along the way, they arrive at the beach with great anticipation. After hours of digging, with their hopes nearly dashed, the boys are not ready to give up. Relying on Rodney's "special sight," the four comrades suddenly discover a treasure...a unique treasure that leads to more mystery. This discovery not only spurs them on to keep searching but ignites Suhcrom and Naddih's desire to solve the mystery.

Lewis have continued to publish additional stories about characters Suhcrom and Naddih, two adventurous Jamaican brothers who use their imaginations to explore the world around them.

This special anniversary edition was compiled to commemorate the progress of Silly Nomads as a book series by combining all five current volumes within one binder. One addition to this is a page at the end of each volume listing four simple yet thought-provoking questions, included as a tool for readers, parents, and teachers to use for further discussion of the stories. The five stories contained within Jamaican Adventures are (Vol 1) Silly Nomads From Palmerston Close; (Vol2) Silly Nomads Go Ninja Crazy; (Vol 3) Jubilee Bike Race Heroes; (Vol 4) Journey to the Race Track; and (Vol 5) Hunt for Pirate Treasures. Beautifully designed, this publication is a wonderful addition to any home or school library, and would be a great resource for elementary teachers to use in the classroom.
