Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a popular account of past and upcoming transits of Venus, which are rare astronomical events that are useful for measuring the distances between the Earth, the Sun, and other planets. The book covers the first transit observed by Horrocks in 1639 and provides predictions and observations for future transits up to 2012. It also includes a detailed account of the successes achieved during the December 1874 transit and suggestions for the transit of 1882.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transits of Venus: A Popular Account of Past and Coming Transits From the First Observed by Horrocks 1639 to the Transit of 2012, Also an Account of the Successes Achieved in December 1874 and Suggestions Respecting the Transit of 1882 The approach of the transit of Venus on December 6 (partly visible in this country), and very favourably visible throughout its entire duration in the United States, renders necessary a new edition of this work. Very few changes have been made, as the second and third editions both followed the transit of 1874, and very little has been done in the interval which renders change necessary or desirable. The estimates now regarded as probably nearest the truth assign to the sun a distance of about 92,885,000 miles, corresponding to a mean equatorial long horizontal solar parallax of 8"80. It remains to be seen whether observations made on the approaching transit will modify this value. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: The award-winning, New York Times bestselling literary masterpiece of Shirley Hazzard—the story of two beautiful orphan sisters whose fates are as moving and wonderful, and yet as predestined, as the transits of the planets themselves A Penguin Classic Considered "one of the great English-language novels of the twentieth century" (The Paris Review), The Transit of Venus follows Caroline and Grace Bell as they leave Australia to begin a new life in post-war England. From Sydney to London, New York, and Stockholm, and from the 1950s to the 1980s, the two sisters experience seduction and abandonment, marriage and widowhood, love and betrayal. With exquisite, breathtaking prose, Australian novelist Shirley Hazzard tells the story of the displacements and absurdities of modern life. The result is at once an intricately plotted Greek tragedy, a sweeping family saga, and a desperate love story.

Download or read book From a Photograph written by Geoffrey Belknap and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-08-13 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout its early history, photography's authenticity was contested and challenged: how true a representation of reality can a photograph provide? Does the reproduction of a photograph affect its value as authentic or not? From a Photograph examines these questions in the light of the early scientific periodical press, exploring how the perceived veracity of a photograph, its use as scientific evidence and the technologies developed for printing it were intimately connected.Before photomechanical printing processes became widely used in the 1890s, scientific periodicals were unable to reproduce photographs and instead included these photographic images as engravings, with the label ‘from a photograph’. Consequently, every image was mediated by a human interlocutor, introducing the potential for error and misinterpretation. Rather than ‘reading’ photographs in the context of where or how they were taken, this book emphasises the importance of understanding how photographs are reproduced. It explores and compares the value of photography as authentic proof in both popular and scientific publications during this period of significant technological developments and a growing readership. Three case studies investigate different uses of photography in print: using pigeons to transport microphotographs during the Franco-Prussian War; the debate surrounding the development of instantaneous photography; and finally the photographs taken of the Transit of Venus in 1874, unseen by the human eye but captured on camera and made accessible to the public through the periodical.Addressing a largely overlooked area of photographic history, From a Photograph makes an important contribution to this interdisciplinary research and will be of interest to historians of photography, print culture and science.
