Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Though there are many books about the history of the alphabet, virtually none address how that history came to be. In Inventing the Alphabet, Johanna Drucker guides readers from antiquity to the present to show how humans have shaped and reshaped their own understanding of this transformative writing tool. From ancient beliefs in the alphabet as a divine gift to growing awareness of its empirical origins through the study of scripts and inscriptions, Drucker describes the frameworks-classical, textual, biblical, graphical, antiquarian, archaeological, paleographic, and political-within which the alphabet's history has been and continues to be constructed. Drucker's book begins in ancient Greece, with the earliest writings on the alphabet's origins. She then explores biblical sources on the topic and medieval preoccupations with the magical properties of individual letters. She later delves into the development of modern archaeological and paleographic tools, and she concludes with the role of alphabetic characters in the digital era. Throughout, she argues that, as a shared form of knowledge technology integrated into every aspect of our lives, the alphabet performs complex cultural, ideological, and technical functions, and her carefully curated selection of images demonstrates how closely the letters we use today still resemble their original appearance millennia ago"--

Download or read book American Men of Letters written by Edwin Leavitt Clarke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-03-24 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Men of Letters: Their Nature and Nurture The plan of this dissertation was conceived in 1911, as a result of reading the fascinating pages of Professor Lester F. Ward's Applied Sociology. Wards work was based on an inductive study of the nature and nurture of French men of letters, Alfred Odin's Genese des Grands Hommes. Ward had been profoundly impressed by Odin's work. In the Applied Sociology he suggested the desirability of making other inductive studies which should be modeled after Odin's, and applied to many nations and fields of activity. When this study was undertaken, the author believed that the opinions advanced in Wards work were in every way justified by the evidence. Results attained in his own work, however, have convinced him that nurture is not predominant over nature to the extent that Ward supposed. Nevertheless he still agrees that Wards plea for the socialization of opportunity is quite warranted. If this study in any way strengthens the case for the extension of opportunity to any who are at present denied their birthright, he will feel that the work has served its purpose. In conclusion, acknowledgments are due; first, to the many authors and relatives of authors who courteously answered the questionnaire sent to them; second, to teachers in Columbia and colleagues in Hamilton College who reviewed the statistical aspects of the work, and finally, to Dr. Alvan A. Tenney of Columbia University, for his constructive criticism and generous advice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

Russia lies prostrate at the feet of the common enemy; the Ukraine has not only made peace but is preparing to receive aid in her struggle against the Bolshevik Government; Roumania is isolated and helpless in presence of the convulsions of her once mighty neighbour, and may be compelled to get the best terms she can from the conqueror, as the Entente Powers are through force of circumstances unable to render her any immediately effective assistance; Poland, Courland, Lithuania, Finland - all are at the disposal of their German military masters. Plainly, for the time being at any rate, Eastern Europe has been swept within the orbit of German military domination, with all that that portentous fact implies.

C When between eight and nine years of age, he would col lect his boy playmates on some door-step in his neighborhood, and entertain them with stories of his own imagining, which would be continued from evening to evening, - a youthful Improvisatore. His father being unable to use his eyes except for the necessary duties of his profession, William spent his winter evenings in reading to him such books as Prescott's Mexico, Shakespeare, Alison's History of Europe, etc. The next day he would entertain himself in arranging his toy soldiers in the order of the battles of the Great Captain, which impressed them very forcibly upon his mind. He was also instructed by his father in the game of chess, for which he had ever a great fondness, and in which he was much skilled. When ten years of age he was sent to boarding school at Stamford, where he made much progress in some branches of study.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters on Strategy, Vol. 2 of 2 I will gladly comply with your request to write more about Strategy and its technical branch, although I must confess to being surprised at your objections to my manner of dealing with the science which you say is open to attack from the point of deep and earnest study. Frederick the Great threw off to some extent the bonds which the "scientific" rules of pedants had placed on strategy; and another hard and fast system was ruthlessly destroyed by Napoleon's genius and drastic simplicity, which gave ear to sound reason alone. Only be can become master of an art who practises it under the guidance and example of other masters, and it is from the events which have been handed down to us by history, that I seek this guidance and example.
