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.Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Why does communication between people from different cultures sometimes go wrong? Can we teach business people to anticipate and overcome these problems? In this book, Robert Gibson addresses these questions. He analyses the main features of intercultural communication and looks at ways of helping prepare business people to function and communicate effectively while working in new, unfamiliar cultures.
This anthology originally published in 1961 is of an unusual kind: a series of pronouncements on poetry by the great French poets of the last hundred years, arranged in a way which gives them a purposeful sequence, and linked by Professor Gibson's explanatory comment. It thus gave as no other book of the time did an ars poetica for modern poetry. Though it is in French, it is relevant to English because to place for instance T. S. Eliot's early work in a historical perspective, it must be related to the tradition of French poetry and critical writing. Professor Gibson shows what a rich tradition it was: there is hardly an important French poet who was not also deeply concerned with the nature and implications of his own work and of all poetry as well.

"On December 2, 1988, I lifted off aboard the Shuttle Atlantis on a top-secret mission to deploy a classified surveillance satellite. We accomplished the mission on the first day, but on the second, Mission Control informed us they had seen something hit our right wing during launch and ordered us to examine it. We saw a major amount of damage to our heat protection tiles. Given it was a classified mission, the Department of Defense would not allow us to broadcast a television signal back to Earth, but they agreed to let us send it encrypted. Mission Control studied it for a day, then cleared us for reentry. The images on the encrypted video were so poor that they had concluded we were only seeing shadows. Even though the damage was there, I was reluctant to argue--bad form for an astronaut. We survived reentry, but more than 700 tiles were damaged and one was missing. Only a thick metal plate had saved us which had almost melted through." Written in his own words, Space Ace is the memoir of Astronaut Robert Lee "Hoot" Gibson, a true master of speed and air. Beginning from his youth growing up in a family of nine and learning to fly from his father, this book chronicles a rich, fascinating, and insightful life, encompassing the full breadth of his storied career while providing leadership lessons along the way. Gibson rose through the ranks from Vietnam combat pilot to Navy Top Gun, from test pilot to NASA Space Shuttle Commander. "Hoot" shares it all, de-classifying some of the most historic moments in aerospace history, first-hand.
