Download or read book Visualizing Time written by Graham Wills and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-12-02 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art, or Science? Which of these is the right way to think of the field of visualization? This is not an easy question to answer, even for those who have many years experience in making graphical depictions of data with a view to help people understand it and take action. In this book, Graham Wills bridges the gap between the art and the science of visually representing data. He does not simply give rules and advice, but bases these on general principles and provide a clear path between them This book is concerned with the graphical representation of time data and is written to cover a range of different users. A visualization expert designing tools for displaying time will find it valuable, but so also should a financier assembling a report in a spreadsheet, or a medical researcher trying to display gene sequences using a commercial statistical package.

Download or read book THE GREAT DECEPTION Paperback written by COMYNS BEAUMONT and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-10-16 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""All the relations and uprisings of the ancient Jews in their contacts with the Romans can only be properly resolved and understood, I contend, when the entire sphere of activity is transferred to ancient Britain."" This long lost final book by the renowned catastrophist author William Comyns Beaumont, uncle of Daphne Du Maurier, is the fourth in his series on the revised history and geography of Britain and the world, exposing the centuries-long conspiracy initiated by Emperor Constantine the Great at the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. The plan, to move the historical and religious sites of Britain to their now-familiar locations in the middle east, was intended as a short-term fix, to strengthen the Roman Empire, but the whole world still suffers the consequences today. ""...the belief persists that Israel is the ancient home of the Jewish people, and the ancient conflict carries on there, by proxy... Jesus of Nazareth was born and raised in Somerset...""
Download or read book Transports of Delight written by Peter Hancock and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inspiring book shows how the spiritual side of life, with its thoughts, feelings, and aspirations, is intimately bound up with our material technologies. From the wonder of Gothic Cathedrals, to the quiet majesty of lighter than air flight, to the ultimate in luxury of the north Atlantic steamers, Peter Hancock explores how these sequential heights of technology have enabled our dreams of being transported to new and uncharted realms to become reality. Sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively, technology has always been there to make material the visions of our imagination. This book shows how this has essentially been true for all technologies from Stonehenge to space station.But technology is far from perfect. Indeed, the author argues here that some of the most public and tragic of its failures still remain instructive, emblematic, and even inspiring. He reports on examples such as a Cathedral of the Earth (Beauvais), a Cathedral of the Seas (Titanic), and a Cathedral of the Air (Hindenburg) and tells their stories from the viewpoint of material transcendence. By interweaving their stories he reveals how technologies can succeed in elevating human beings and, in taking them to whole new realms of being, he explores and explains why these experiences are ‘Transports of Delight.’
Download or read book Stonehenge written by Frank Stevens and published by . This book was released on 2009-02-01 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interest that has always attached itself to Stonehenge has, without doubt, been in a great measure due to the mystery as to the origin of this unique monument of bygone time. But the careful investigations carried out by the modern school of arch]ologists, as instanced in the work of General Pitt Rivers, Mr. Gowland, and others, every excavation being carried out with great care and scientific accuracy, have had good results; little by little the history of Stonehenge has been unravelled; a fact that Mr. Stevens has clearly demonstrated in the present volume. We now know how, when, and who, built this remarkable temple. One point, however, still remains a mystery, viz. whence the socalled foreign stones were obtained? Clearly, as geology shows, from no spot in Wiltshire.
Download or read book Blood Mistletoe written by Ronald Hutton and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 931 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The acclaimed author of Witches, Druids, and King Arthur presents a “lucid, open-minded” cultural history of the Druids as part of British identity (Terry Jones). Crushed by the Romans in the first century A.D., the ancient Druids of Britain left almost no reliable evidence behind. Historian Ronald Hutton shows how this lack of definite information has allowed succeeding British generations to reimagine, reinterpret, and reinvent the Druids. Hutton’s captivating book is the first to encompass two thousand years of Druid history and to explore the evolution of English, Scottish, and Welsh attitudes toward the forever ambiguous figures of the ancient Celtic world. Druids have been remembered at different times as patriots, scientists, philosophers, or priests. Sometimes portrayed as corrupt, bloodthirsty, or ignorant, they were also seen as fomenters of rebellion. Hutton charts how the Druids have been written in and out of history, archaeology, and the public consciousness for some 500 years, with particular focus on the romantic period, when Druids completely dominated notions of British prehistory. Sparkling with legends and images, filled with new perspectives on ancient and modern times, this fascinating cultural study reveals Druids as catalysts in British history.
