This book contains copies of all Dr. Gatling's original Gatling Gun patent and patent drawings from the United States Patent Office. Also included are the patent drawings of the Broadwell Drum Feed, Bruce feed and Accles feed that was used on Colt Gatling Guns. Shortly after the outbreak of the American Civil War, Dr. Richard J. Gatling began work on his most famous invention. A prototype gun was made late in 1861 and was demonstrated in Indianapolis early in 1862. On November 4, 1862, Dr. Gatling received the first of his 10 patents for the famous gun that etched his name into history forever. The Gatling Gun was sometimes called by Dr. Gatling, Colt Firearms Company and the United States Patent Office as a battery gun, rotating battery gun, rotating cannon and machine gun. When the "modern" machine gun was made, it was referred to as an automated machine gun. These patent drawings provide a step back in time to view a technically advanced 19th century weapon that changed history.
Throughout his career, Deleuze developed a series of original philosophies of time and applied them successfully to many different fields. Now James Williams presents Deleuze's philosophy of time as the central concept that connects his philosophy as a whole. Through this conceptual approach, the book covers all the main periods of Deleuze's philosophy: the early studies of Hume, Nietzsche, Kant, Bergson and Spinoza, the two great philosophical works, Difference and Repetition and Logic of Sense, the Capitalism and Schizophrenia works with Guattari, and the late influential studies of literature, film and painting. The result is an important reading of Deleuze and the first full interpretation of his philosophy of time.
Environmental aesthetics is an emerging discipline that explores the meaning and influence of environmental perception and experience on human life. Arguing for the idea that environment is not merely a setting for people, but fully integrated and continuous with us, Arnold Berleant explores the aesthetic dimensions of the human-environment continuum in both theoretical terms and concrete situations. Insisting on the need to reconceptualize environment and recognize its aesthetic implications, he pursues a variety of topics and approaches to environmental aesthetics. Aesthetic experience, maintains Berleant, is always contextual. Recognizing that humans, along with all other things, inhabit a single intraconnected realm, he names the quality of engagement as the foremost characteristic of environmental perception. Berleant moves from natural to nonnatural environments, suggesting that the aesthetic aspect of any human habitat is an essential part of its desirability. From outer space to the museum, from architecture to landscape, from city to wilderness, this book discovers in the aesthetic perception of environment the reciprocity that constitutes both person and place.Arnold Berleant is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Long Island University, and the author of "The Aesthetic Field and Art and Engagement" (Temple).
1826 schrieb Franz Liszt, gerade einmal 15 Jahre alt, seinen ersten Zyklus von Etüden, die er eigentlich als eine große Etüde aus 12 verschiedenen Übungen, als "Etude en douze exercices" verstanden haben wollte. Dennoch ist eine jede dieser Übungen eine eigenständige Studie, die sich einem bestimmten technischen Problem widmet. Später zwar Vorbild für Liszts große Etüden ("Grandes Etudes") geworden, sind diese Jugendwerke noch weit von den technischen Ansprüchen ihrer großen Geschwister entfernt. Umso mehr eignen sie sich im fortgeschrittenen Unterricht als hervorragende Alternative etwa zu den anspruchsvolleren Etüden Czernys.§Schwierigkeitsgrad: 3-4
From National Book award-winning author Walter Wangerin, Jr. comes the thought-provoking sequel to THE BOOK OF THE DUN COW, with New and revised content. Praise For THE BOOK OF THE DUN COW: "Belongs on the shelf with Animal Farm, Watership Down and The Lord of the Rings. It is, like them, an absorbing, fanciful parade of the war between good and evil." -Los Angeles Times Praise For THE SECOND BOOK OF THE DUN COW: LAMENTATIONS: "[A] profoundly imagined and beautifully stylized fable of the immemorial war between good and evil." -The New York Times "A beautifully written fantasy anchored starkly in reality." -The Washington Post "[A] fine book about the way evil enters the world, and this newly told story of Chaunticleer is one that details the loss of his innocence, of his love and of his God." -The Houston Chronicle Seeking peace and respite after their devastating battle with the Wyrm, Chauntecleer and his wife Pertelote again lead the animals of the Coop. But their quest is interrupted when Wyrm once again insinuates himself into the lives of the animals. To defeat this ancient evil for good, Chauntecleer will have to face Wyrm again, not on the battlefield, but deep within the serpent's lair, risking his very soul to ensure the safety of the animals under his protection.
Nach dem Tod eines linksliberalen Philosophieprofessors finden sich dessen Landser-Briefe aus der Kriegszeit. Sein Sohn begegnet darin einem Menschen, den er nicht kennt, der Schock ist groß. Winter 1944/45: Um seinen unreifen Sohn Konrad vor den Werbern der SS zu retten, drängt dessen Nazi-skeptischer Vater ihn, freiwillig Reserveoffizier bei der Wehrmacht zu werden; kurz darauf rät er ihm sogar zur Fahnenflucht -- Hitlerjunge Konrad graut es zwar vor Kampfeinsätzen, zugleich ist er aber über den mangelnden Patriotismus des Vaters entsetzt und überlegt ernsthaft, ihn anzuzeigen.Der Krieg macht durch Zufälle aus dem Feigling einen Helden, er bekommt sogar das Eiserne Kreuz Erster Klasse.Prahlend berichtet er darüber in Briefen an ferne Kameraden. Nach dem Kriegsende jedoch sieht die Welt anders aus. Der vorher verachtete Vater wird zum Leitstern. Konrad schämt sich zutiefst für seine Kriegstaten und verschweigt sie hartnäckig -- erst recht, als er (gefordert von einem ehemaligen Widerständler) Philosophiedozent wird, Schwerpunkt Ethik.Konrad gerät in Frankfurt, inzwischen Professor, ins linke Milieu -- und mitten in die Wirren der Studentenbewegung. Als die Staatssicherheit der DDR über einen ehemaligen Kriegskameraden an kompromittierende Informationen über ihn gelangt, wird es brenzlig, aber es gelingt dem Sonntagskind Konrad, den Kopf aus der Schlinge zu ziehen. Kein Wunder, dass er -- Jahre später -- die Nachricht vom Fall der Mauer nicht nur mit Freude hört. Erst sein Sohn wird die prahlenden Jugendbriefe seines Vaters finden -- und darin einen Menschen, den er nicht kennt und dessen wahre Identität er rekonstruieren will.

The Self-Directed Learning Handbook offers teachers and principals an innovative program for customizing schooling to the learning needs of individual students-- and for motivating them to take increasing responsibility for deciding what and how they should learn. Whether the students are struggling or proficient, the program is designed to nurture their natural passion for learning and mastery, challenging them to go beyond the easy and familiar so they can truly excel. The program can be introduced in stages in any middle or high school classroom and enables students of diverse abilities to design and pursue independent course work, special projects, or even artistic presentations, community field work or apprenticeships. Using this approach, the students take on an increasingly autonomous, self-directed role as they progress. The heart of the program is the action contract (or learning agreement) whereby the student sets challenging yet attainable goals, commits to a path for achieving them, and evaluates the results. Special emphasis is placed on developing skills and competencies that can serve the student well in his or her academic and career endeavors.

Originally published in 1929 and now available in paperback for the first time in more than two decades, John Cowper Powys's rapturous novel of eros and ideas has been compared with works by Shakespeare, Thomas Hardy, and D. H. Lawrence. Wolf Solent remains unrivaled in its risky balance of mysticism and comedy, ecstatic contemplation of nature and unblinking observation of human folly and desire.Forsaking London for a village in Dorsetshire, Wolf Solent discovers a world of pagan splendor and medieval insularity, riddled by ancient scandals and resentments. And in Ramsgard this poetic young man meets two women -- the sensuous beauty Gerda and the ethereal gamine Christie -- who will become the sharers of his body and soul. Audacious, extravagant, and gloriously strange, Wolf Solent is a twentieth-century masterpiece.

The era of the LP began in 1967, with 'Sgt Pepper'; The Beatles didn't just collect together a bunch of songs, they Made An Album. Henceforth, everybody else wanted to Make An Album. The end came only fifteen years later, coinciding with the release of Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'. By then the Walkman had taken music out of the home and into the streets and the record business had begun trying to reverse-engineer the creative process in order to make big money. Nobody would play music or listen to it in quite the same way ever again. It was a short but transformative time. Musicians became 'artists' and we, the people, patrons of the arts. The LP itself had been a mark of sophistication, a measure of wealth, an instrument of education, a poster saying things you dare not say yourself, a means of attracting the opposite sex, and, for many, the single most desirable object in their lives. This is the story of that time; it takes us from recording studios where musicians were doing things that had never been done before to the sparsely furnished apartments where their efforts would be received like visitations from a higher power. This is the story of how LPs saved our lives.
Romancier fêté, cinéaste admiré, poète méconnu, dramaturge et dessinateur d'exception, Cocteau est l'un des créateurs les plus féconds du XXᵉ siècle. Doté d'une rare aptitude à changer de style et de forme, à mourir à soi pour ressusciter autrement, il évoque par son caractère protéiforme ces deux géants - Picasso et Stravinsky - qui furent ses proches, et parfois ses collaborateurs. Véritable baromètre du climat parisien, il incarna tous les courants et chaque art, l'architecture exceptée : au Cocteau proustien succéda un Cocteau avant-gardiste, puis dadaïste, surréalisant et néoclassique, enfin féerique ; bref, cet auto-fictionneur en actes donnait l'impression de faire de lui ce qu'il voulait : jeune homme, il se voyait même en demi-dieu.Aucune biographie d'envergure n'avait paru en France depuis trente ans ; nulle n'avait eu pour ambition de replonger ce météore durable dans sa constellation d'origine, de la France de l'affaire Dreyfus à celle de Johnny Hallyday, en passant par cet âge d'or que furent les années 20 et les années sombres de l'Occupation.Avec cette biographie inspirée, Claude Arnaud a fait le roman vrai de tous les Cocteau qu'abritait ce créateur hors pair, "brillant comme une larme", mort il y a quarante ans cette année.
