This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The 24 medieval manuscripts in the Buchanan collection were presented to the Bodleian in two instalments, in 1939 and 1941, by Mrs. Emily Octavia Buchanan, in accordance with the wishes of her late husband, Thomas Ryburn Buchanan. The Keeper of Western Manuscripts' letter of thanks referred to 'this munificent benefaction ... the most remarkable and valuable accession to our illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages ... for many years'. The collection, with its preponderance of late medieval devotional books from France, the Netherlands and renaissance Italy, is typical of the small private libraries of later 19th-century English amateur collectors. What makes it remarkable is the inclusion of manuscripts notable for their early and fine bindings, their humanistic texts and their provenance. Mrs. Buchanan's gift also included later manuscripts, for the most part notable for their bindings."--

Download or read book The History of Meteoritics and Key Meteorite Collections written by Gerald Joseph Home McCall and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2006 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Special Publication has 24 papers with an international authorship, and is prefaced by an introductory overview which presents highlights in the field. The first section covers the acceptance by science of the reality of the falls of rock and metal from the sky, an account that takes the reader from BCE (before common era) to the nineteenth century. The second section details some of the world's most important collections in museums - their origins and development. The Smithsonian chapter also covers the astonishingly numerous finds in the cold desert of Antarctica by American search parties. There are also contributions covering the finds by Japanese parties in the Yamato mountains and the equally remarkable discoveries in the hot deserts of Australia, North Africa, Oman and the USA. The other seven chapters take the reader through the revolution in scientific research on meteoritics in the later part of the twentieth century, including terrestrial impact cratering and extraordinary showers of glass from the sky; tektites, now known to be Earth-impact-sourced. Finally, the short epilogue looks to the future.

Download or read book Working Class Literature s written by John Lennon and published by Saint Philip Street Press. This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The aim of this collection is to make possible the forging of a more robust, politically useful, and theoretically elaborate understanding of working-class literature(s). These essays map a substantial terrain: the history of working-class literature(s) in Russia/The Soviet Union, The USA, Finland, Sweden, The UK, and Mexico. Together they give a complex and comparative - albeit far from comprehensive - picture of working-class literature(s) from an international perspective, without losing sight of national specificities. By capturing a wide range of definitions and literatures, this collection gives a broad and rich picture of the many-facetted phenomenon of working-class literature(s), disrupts narrow understandings of the concept and phenomenon, as well as identifies and discusses some of the most important theoretical and historical questions brought to the fore by the study of this literature. If read as stand-alone chapters, each contribution gives an overview of the history and research of a particular nation's working-class literature. If read as an edited collection (which we hope you do), they contribute toward a more complex understanding of the global phenomenon of working-class literature(s)."
