Download or read book Aldornere and Two Other Pennsylvanian Idylls written by Howard Worcester Gilbert and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aldornere and Two Other Pennsylvanian Idylls: Together With Minor Poems The fugitive pieces which follow are selected from among a large number of others which were printed at different periods, and under various circumstances, many of them in early boyhood, and for which the author could desire even a more speedy oblivion than the partiality of his personal friends would accord to them. Premature publication is the fault of ambitious youthful writers; and in this age Of abounding literary production, but little judgment is required to see that a large exercise of the right of suppression is the dictate of good sense. All of the poems contained in the present volume have been subjected to a careful revision, a few alterations have been made, and the whole freed from the innumerable blunders of the printer, who is constantly found lying in ambush, in the most unexpected places, ready to slay the spirit with the letter. Several poetical licences have been discarded; but two or three have been retained. The fugitive pieces were all originally published either in the National anti-slavery Standard, under the man agement of Mr. Gay; The Pennsylvania Freeman; Mr. Conway's Dial or The Liberty Bell, or The Index, Of Boston. If the reader should observe any incongruity of a theological charac ter in the volume, he may account for it on the ground of a gradual change of views in the mind of the author.

Book excerpt: An adventurous ride through the most blisteringly hot regions of science, history, and culture. Melting glaciers, warming oceans, droughts-it's clear that today's world is getting hotter. But while we know the agony of a sunburn or the comfort of our winter heaters, do we really understand heat? A bestselling scientist and nature writer who goes to any extreme to uncover the answers, Bill Streever sets off to find out what heat really means. Let him be your guide and you'll firewalk across hot coals and sweat it out in Death Valley, experience intense fever and fire, learn about the invention of matches and the chemistry of cooking, drink crude oil, and explore thermonuclear weapons and the hottest moment of all time-the big bang. Written in Streever's signature spare and refreshing prose, Heat is an adventurous personal narrative that leaves readers with a new vision of an everyday experience-how heat works, its history, and its relationship to daily life.
Download or read book Ian McHarg and the Search for Ideal Order written by Kathleen John-Alder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ian McHarg and the Search for Ideal Order looks at the well-known and studied landscape architect, Ian McHarg, in a new light. The author explores McHarg’s formative years, and investigates how his ideas developed in both their complexity and scale. As a precursor to McHarg’s approach in his influential book Design with Nature, this book offers new interpretations into his search for environmental order and outlines how his struggle to understand humanity’s relationship to the environment in an era of rapid social and technological change reflects an ongoing challenge that landscape design has yet to fully resolve. This book will be of great interest to academics and researchers in landscape architectural history.

Download or read book The Platonic Political Art written by John R. Wallach and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-12-16 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this first comprehensive treatment of Plato’s political thought in a long time, John Wallach offers a "critical historicist" interpretation of Plato. Wallach shows how Plato’s theory, while a radical critique of the conventional ethical and political practice of his own era, can be seen as having the potential for contributing to democratic discourse about ethics and politics today. The author argues that Plato articulates and "solves" his Socratic Problem in his various dialogues in different but potentially complementary ways. The book effectively extracts Plato from the straightjacket of Platonism and from the interpretive perspectives of the past fifty years—principally those of Karl Popper, Leo Strauss, Hannah Arendt, M. I. Finley, Jacques Derrida, and Gregory Vlastos. The author’s distinctive approach for understanding Plato—and, he argues, for the history of political theory in general—can inform contemporary theorizing about democracy, opening pathways for criticizing democracy on behalf of virtue, justice, and democracy itself.

Download or read book The Vaccine Race written by Meredith Wadman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A real jewel of science history...brims with suspense and now-forgotten catastrophe and intrigue...Wadman’s smooth prose calmly spins a surpassingly complicated story into a real tour de force."—The New York Times “Riveting . . . [The Vaccine Race] invites comparison with Rebecca Skloot's 2007 The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.”—Nature The epic and controversial story of a major breakthrough in cell biology that led to the conquest of rubella and other devastating diseases. Until the late 1960s, tens of thousands of American children suffered crippling birth defects if their mothers had been exposed to rubella, popularly known as German measles, while pregnant; there was no vaccine and little understanding of how the disease devastated fetuses. In June 1962, a young biologist in Philadelphia, using tissue extracted from an aborted fetus from Sweden, produced safe, clean cells that allowed the creation of vaccines against rubella and other common childhood diseases. Two years later, in the midst of a devastating German measles epidemic, his colleague developed the vaccine that would one day wipe out homegrown rubella. The rubella vaccine and others made with those fetal cells have protected more than 150 million people in the United States, the vast majority of them preschoolers. The new cells and the method of making them also led to vaccines that have protected billions of people around the world from polio, rabies, chicken pox, measles, hepatitis A, shingles and adenovirus. Meredith Wadman’s masterful account recovers not only the science of this urgent race, but also the political roadblocks that nearly stopped the scientists. She describes the terrible dilemmas of pregnant women exposed to German measles and recounts testing on infants, prisoners, orphans, and the intellectually disabled, which was common in the era. These events take place at the dawn of the battle over using human fetal tissue in research, during the arrival of big commerce in campus labs, and as huge changes take place in the laws and practices governing who “owns” research cells and the profits made from biological inventions. It is also the story of yet one more unrecognized woman whose cells have been used to save countless lives. With another frightening virus--measles--on the rise today, no medical story could have more human drama, impact, or urgency than The Vaccine Race.
