Book The Archaeology of Science

Download or read book The Archaeology of Science written by Michael Brian Schiffer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-19 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual pulls together—and illustrates with interesting case studies—the variety of specialized and generalized archaeological research strategies that yield new insights into science. Throughout the book there are templates, consisting of questions, to help readers visualize and design their own projects. The manual seeks to be as general as possible, applicable to any society, and so science is defined as the creation of useful knowledge—the kinds of knowledge that enable people to make predictions. The chapters in Part I discuss the scope of the archaeology of science and furnish a conceptual foundation for the remainder of the book. Next, Part II presents several specialized, but widely practiced, research strategies that contribute to the archaeology of science. In order to thoroughly ground the manual in real-life applications, Part III presents lengthy case studies that feature the use of historical and archaeological evidence in the study of scientific activities.

Book Historic Furnishings Report  Vol  2

Download or read book Historic Furnishings Report Vol 2 written by David H. Wallace and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Furnishings Report, Vol. 2: Sagamore Hill, Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, Oyster Bay, New York; Furnishing Plan The hall is clearly a passageway, having lost its living room character when the north room was built in 1905. Its furnishings reflect the post-presidential years, dominated as it is by the Cape buffalo, eland and oryx heads, elephant tusk gong, and other trophies of the ex-president's African trip and the World War I vintage shot-and-shell andirons. A 1918 photograph and the 1919 inventory of Theodore Roosevelt's estate, supplemented by Mrs. Roosevelt's 1948 estate inventory and 1948 photographs provide good documentation.

This book was released on 1995-08-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridging the fields of conservation, art history, and museum curating, this volume contains the principal papers from an international symposium titled "Historical Painting Techniques, Materials, and Studio Practice" at the University of Leiden in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from June 26 to 29, 1995. The symposium—designed for art historians, conservators, conservation scientists, and museum curators worldwide—was organized by the Department of Art History at the University of Leiden and the Art History Department of the Central Research Laboratory for Objects of Art and Science in Amsterdam. Twenty-five contributors representing museums and conservation institutions throughout the world provide recent research on historical painting techniques, including wall painting and polychrome sculpture. Topics cover the latest art historical research and scientific analyses of original techniques and materials, as well as historical sources, such as medieval treatises and descriptions of painting techniques in historical literature. Chapters include the painting methods of Rembrandt and Vermeer, Dutch 17th-century landscape painting, wall paintings in English churches, Chinese paintings on paper and canvas, and Tibetan thangkas. Color plates and black-and-white photographs illustrate works from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
