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.Delve into what it was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly contemporary.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Parallel Lines is a collection of eight very different scenarios set in seven very different versions of Earth. Each mission is self-contained, but the collection can be played as a complete campaign with the characters forming an elite team in Valhalla's Mjollnir Section.The adventures include the Salem Witch Trials, a post-apocalyptic Camargue, an Orwellian Britain, epic journeys by airship and Trans-Siberian Express, a voyage to the bottom of the sea, an investigation through the streets of a disintegrating Edinburgh, and a murder hunt through a dystopian London.Packed with wild ideas and creative locations, along with dozens of colourful NPCs (and some distinctly weird ones), Parallel Lines is transplanar adventuring at its very best.Parallel Lines requires access to both Luther Arkwright: Roleplaying Across the Parallels and Mythras for full enjoyment.

This book consists of sixteen pieces, by British scholars, on aspects of the American (and Anglo-American) experience.

Nonverbal Steps to the Origins of Language examines the origin and development of human language through the seemingly paradoxical lens of nonverbal communication. Taking an evolutionary stance, it identifies and explores 15 sequential nonverbal steps that cumulatively enabled modern linguistic communication in Homo sapiens. Each step examines how human communication has evolved over time, detailing the changes that occurred at each developmental stage and their corresponding roles in gestured and spoken language. While following an evolutionary timeline, this book contextualizes these developments within modern discourse on topics such as linguistics, physiology, and brain development. The authors introduce the innovative “Language Superimposition Theory” (LST), proposing that human language—in both its vocal and gestural forms—was superimposed upon an older, preexisting nonverbal medium. This theoretical framework challenges conventional understanding of language origins by elevating nonverbal communication from its traditionally neglected status. Exploring diverse topics including chemical messaging, audio-visual messaging, emotional signaling, binocular vision, facial expressions, pointing behaviors, object manipulation, ancient tool-making, and food sharing, this fascinating intellectual journey is a must-read for students of nonverbal communication from psychology, linguistics, and anthropology backgrounds.
