Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Freeburg's Manual of Astronomy The heaven is a great dome. It contains many great objects, and their great distance from us and how they can exist without a foundation or some thingto hold them up is mysterious to most any man's mind. But nature has brought them there to stay for innumerable ages. These bodies are held in check by an magnetic current from our sun. This magnetic current is caused by the heat from the sun and cooled by space, and works nearly on the same principle as load stone. The object of writing this book is to give the people of the world a full under standing, as far as I am able to explain, what I have observed in the star heaven and studied nature for thirty-five years. My aim is to give'to the world the truth as far as I understand it. I have treated in this book on all the objects in space that can be seen with a naked eye. In my next publication treat ing on the heavenly bodies I will give very nearly the exact distance to the sun and the moon. I think the distance given to the sun is too great or the moon is too near to the earth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Manual of Field Astronomy Classic Reprint written by Andrew H. Holt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Field Astronomy IF the reason be demanded for the appearance of another book on Field Astronomy when there are already published several excellent works on the subject, it may be stated as follows: That although any one of them may serve very well as a text for a comparatively extended study, the author has been unable to find one sufficiently concise to fit the short time usually al lowed for the work in a civil engineering course which would still provide enough of the fundamentals of the subject to enable the reader to make, intelligently, the observations and accom panying computations required in the practice of general engineer ing and surveying. Something is needed more complete than the usual chapter in books on surveying and less extensive than most texts on field astronomy. This need, which is acknowledged by other teachers to exist, it is hoped to fill; and at the same time it has been attempted to provide a book which will be of service to engineers and surveyors whose practice requires that they occasionally make astronomical Observations. To this end the discussion of fundamentals has been made brief, but it is thought sufficiently thorough for the purpose. Special attention has been given to the matter of measurement of time, because it is believed that this causes more difficulty for students in general than any other part Of the subject.

Download or read book The Vampire written by Thomas M. Bohn and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An illuminating contribution to scholarship on the vampire figure.”—Slavic Review Even before Bram Stoker immortalized Transylvania as the homeland of his fictional Count Dracula, the figure of the vampire was inextricably tied to Eastern Europe in the popular imagination. Drawing on a wealth of previously neglected sources, this book offers a fascinating account of how vampires—whose various incarnations originally emerged from folk traditions from all over the world—became so strongly identified with Eastern Europe. It demonstrates that the modern conception of the vampire was born in the crucible of the Enlightenment, embodying a mysterious, Eastern otherness that stood opposed to Western rationality. From the Prologue: From Original Sin to Eternal Life For a broad contemporary public, the vampire has become a star, a media sensation from Hollywood. Bestselling authors such as Bram Stoker, Anne Rice and Stephenie Meyer continue to fire the imaginations of young and old alike, and bloodsuckers have achieved immortality through films like Dracula, Interview with a Vampireand Twilight. It is no wonder that, in the teenage bedrooms of our globalized world, vampires even steal the show from Harry Potter. They have long since been assigned individual personalities and treated with sympathy. They may possess superhuman powers, but they are also burdened by their immortality and have to learn to come to terms with their craving for blood. Whereas the Southeast European vampire, discovered in the 1730s, underwent an Americanization and domestication in the media landscape of the twentieth century, the creole zombies that first became known through the cheap novels and horror films of the 1920s still continue to serve as brainless horror figures. Do bloodsuckers really exist and should we really be afraid of the dead? These are the questions that I seek to tackle, following the wishes of my daughter, who was ten when I started this project.

Download or read book Early film theories in Italy 1896 1922 written by Silvio Alovisio and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2017-07-07 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did Italian writers, scholars, clergymen, psychologists, members of parliament, and philosophers react to the advent of cinema? How did they establish a common language to discuss an invention that exceeded habits and expectations, and that transcended existing forms and categories of thought? This anthology gathers for the first time a large number of social discourses that in Italy tried to define and contextualize cinema from the 1890s to 1920s. What results is an impressive picture of a culture in distress at a 'scandalous' event and eager to appropriate it for the sake of modernization.
