ON THE PRINCIPLES AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE CALCULATOR Babbage, Charles


On the Principles and Development of the Calculator and Other Seminal Writings by Charles Babbage and Other.
Edited and with an Introduction By Philip Morrison and Emily Morrison
Crackpot to his contemporaries, genius to modern scientists, Charles Babbage (1792-1871) was the true discoverer of the principles on which all modern computing machines are based; but his time received his work with scorn, and his name has been virtually forgotten until recently. This original Dover publication is now the only complete story available of the life and work of this amazing mathematician-philosopher-inventor.
Part I consists of selections from Babbage's long-out-of-print autobiography, "Passages from the Life of a Philosopher." In his own unrestrained and "somewhat peculiar" way (Encyclopaedia Britannica), Babbage tells the lively story of his youthful escapades, his warm friendships (and embittered enmities) with such outstanding European figures as Laplace, Biot, Humbolt, and Sir Humphry Davy, and the dominating obsession of his life -the creation of a machine that would forever remove the mistakes and wasted effort inevitable in any extensive arithmetical calculations.
His dream has only now come true, but to convince yourself that Babbage was indeed far ahead of his time, turn to the articles by the inventor and by his contemporaries that explain the principles and operation of his brilliant -but never completed- calculating machines.

COLECCÔES DO MUSEU MONOGRÁFICO DE CONIMBRIGA Moutinho Alarcao, A.


Frequentemente o vistante de Conínbriga avança duas perguntas cuja resposta é difícil e incerta: quantos habitantes tinha a cidade; donde ihes vinha a riqueza?

Nem a epigrafia, nem o estudo dos monumentos e das casas já descobertas, nem as dimensoes aproximadamente conhecidas do anfiteatro, nem o cálculo da água que o aqueduto podia distribuir diariamente, sugerem valores demográficos. Pelo contrário, nao é difícil imaginar a composiçao desta sociedade, formada maioritariamente por uma populaçao indígena que latinizou os seus nomes e adoptou a cultura romana mas permaneceu livre e fiel às suas raízes célticas. Era esta populaçao quem garantia a força do trabalho agrícola e artesanal, era ela ainda quem detinha a maior parcela da propriedade e do poder económico, ao lado das familias de origem itálica -que constituiam de preferência os quadros jurídicos e administrativos- e dos escravos e libertos, indispensáveis componentes do tecido social romano.

LIFE IN RURAL AMERICA



National Geographic 1974
Frogs croaking in the night. It is a sound we learn to live without in the city, but it can instantly summon a flood of memories of a country childhood... "In the pages of Life in Rural America, five writers and more than a score of photographers cross the United States visiting farms, ranches, and small towns -"Home" for millions of Americans no matter where they live now. In these surroundings old customs and traditional values linger alongside changes wrought by mechanization, new highways, and modern communications.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN CHEMISTRY Ihde, Aaron J.


Over the past two centuries chemistry has developed from germinal speculations on the nature of gases and minerals to a hoghly complex discipline encompassing munerous areas of study. This authoritative and comprehensive volume traces the historical development of chemistry from its roots in ancient Greek theory to the revolutionary and explosive discoveries of the 20th century.The author, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry and History of Science at the University of Wisconsin, places the role of alchemy as a "precursor" to chemostry in perspective -he reveals that chemistry inherited just as much from medicine and technological arts. This book also shows how discoveries concerning gases in the mid-18th century were pivotal in creating the foundations of chemistry as a modern science.

ABC FOR BOOK COLLECTORS Carter, John


Not only is the actual language of book-collecting full of jargon and special terminology. The rules, conventions and taboos of the cult are also legitimately puzzling to the layman, and its technique involves many unsuspected subtleties. Here, under about 450 alphabetical entries, ranging in length from a single line to several pages, may be found definition and analysis of the technical terms of book-collecting and bibliography, interspersed with salutary comment on such subjects as auctions, condition, facsimiles and fakes, "points", rarity, and the like.
This is an essential reference book for every book collector, from aspirant to addict. It belongs on the private shelf of all but the most omniscient of librarians and antiquarian booksellers. And it will entertain any general reader who relishes the niceties of connoisseur-ship for their own sake.

EL MUSEU D'ART DE CATALUNYA Farré i Sanpera, M.Carme


Si haguéssim de fer un recorregut per la nostra histia, un dels camins ens duria al Museu d'Art de Catalunya, on es recull i s'exhibeix la creació plàstica dels homes que foren coprotagonistes del naixement, de la configuració, de l'establiment i de l'expansió d'una nació.
Les colleccions d'art romànic aplegades al Museu constitueixen el més important conjunt existent al món i el fan, per tant, museu únic i indispensable per a qualsevol persona interessada en l'Edat mitjana. El fet de comptar amb la major i més completa quantitat d'obres aplegades d'aquest període de l'Occident implica, naturalment, la presència d'algunes peces que converteixen el Museu en primera collecció mundial, pel que fa a la singularitat i la bellesa d'aquestes.

THE MAGIC OF NUMBERS Temple Bell, Eric


In this stimulating, thought-provoking book, one of the foremost interpreters for laymen of the history and meaning of mathematics invites readers to join him in probing the origins of mathematical thought and the development of numerical theory from its beginnings in ancient times to the modern era. Eric Temple Bell (1883-1960), a former professor of mathematics at California Institute of Technology and prolific author, combines a fascinating history of ideas with an engaging series of life stories of the brilliant thinkers who forged mathematical history.

LA GUERRE DE PARTISANS Heilbrunn, O.

Vietnam, Malaisie, Algérie, Chypre, Cuba, Laos... la guerre de partisans est devenue un phénomène quasi permanent de l'histoire contemporaine. Et malgré les perspectives de conflit atomique, ce genre de guerre sera certainement déterminant dans la guerre de demain.
Cet ouvrage, dont l'auteur est l'un des plus éminents spécialistes de la guerre "irregulière", constitue la première étude systématique de la question. Il analyse les combats qui se déroulèrent en Russie soviétique et en Chine, en Malaisie, en Indochine et dans d'autres pays, et montre quelles leçons s'en dégagent quant aux techniques et tactiques de la guerre de partisans, mais aussi quant aux méthodes qui doivent être celles des forces anti-guérrilla.

TECHNIQUES OF LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Weddle, A.E. -Heinemann

This essentially a practical book. It sets out to describe the range of techniques that can be drawn upon in tackling the diversity of tasks encountered by the landscape architect. Landscape is defined by the authors as the whole outdoor environment: at one extreme they deal with the conservation and management of the coastline and countryside, at the other with pavings, fencing, and the other detailing and planting of open spaces between buildings.
Between these two extremes come the numerous tasks involved in town development and the design of industrial, recreational, and other specialised areas. For the lanscape architect, in his role of co-ordinador and designer, this book will be an essential manual. It will also be found useful by architects, engineers, town planners, surveyors, park superintendents, foresters, ecologists -in fact by all the land- using and land- managing professions.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF IRON AND STEEL TECHNOLOGY IN CHINA Needham, Joseph


Today we propose to honour the memopry of H.W. Dickinson by a disquisition which we believe would have accorded well with his own metallurgical interests. Its aim will be to elucidate the course whitch siderurgical knowledge and practice took in that other civilization away at the eastern end of the Old World, that great civilization of China to which our own owes so much more than is yet realized. We shall find some reason to view it with an absorbing interest, for in its development of the technology of iron and steel it seems to have followed a course radically different from that taken in Indian, Islamic and European culture. It will suggest to us, I hope, something of the debts which each great civilization owes to the others, for no one of them takes the lead all the time, and even in the days when intercourse and travel were very difficult, nothing completely stopped the flow of ideas and techniques.

TRIPTYQUE SUD-MAROCAIN Taroudannt, Marrakech, Essaouira - Le Coz, Pierre


Avant Essaouira, il y eut Mogador; et avant Mogador, Thamusida; et avant Thamisida, une autre ville encore: Phéniciens et Carthaginois, Romains, Arabes, Portugais -tous ont voulu recouvrir d'un vocable nouveau la cité qu'ils avaient conquise. Mais qu'y avait-il avant les noms, avant la ville? Peut-être est-ce à ce moment qu'il faut remover pour écrire. P.L.C
Ce superbe récit est un poème en prose qui tient la distance, une leçon magistrale pour "vivre dans l'amitié des mots et des étoiles". Loin des pièges de l'exotisme et du pittoresque, Pierre Le Coz est un envoyé spatial aux longues antennes, pratiquant le voyage comme une ascète. Ou lui sait gré de nous rendre, le temps d'un trop court livre, "indifférent au temps vulgaire, à l'actualité".

THE GEOMETRY OF RENE DESCARTES Smith, David Eugene (Translated)


This is an unabridged republication of the definitive English translation of one of the very greatest classics of science. Originally published in 1637, it has been characterized as "the greatest single step ever made in the progress of the exact sciences" (Jonh Stuart Mill); as a book which "remade geometry and made modern geometry possible" (Eric Temple Bell). It "revolutionized the entire conception of the object of mathematical science" (J. Hadamard).
With this volume Descartes founded modern analytical geometry. Reducing geometry to algebra and analysis and, conversely, showing that analysis may be translated into geometry, it opened the way for modern mathematics. Descartes was the first to classify curves systematically and to demonstrate algebraic solution of geometric curves. His geometric interpretation of negative quantities led to later concepts of continuity and the theory of function. The third book contains important contributions to the theory of equations.

A DICTIONARY OF ARCHAEOLOGY Bray, W. & Trump, D.


From the Abbevillian handaxe and the god Baal of the Canaanites to the Wisconsin and Wurm glaciations of America and Europe, the Yang Shao culture of neolithic China, and Zinjanthropus, the "nutcracker man" of Africa, this dictionary concisely describes, in more than 1,600 entries with copious cross-references, the sites, cultures, periods, techniques, terms and personalities of archaelogy.
With its world-wide coverage and numerous maps and figures this must prove an ideal companion for the growing number of amateur enthusiasts and very useful aid for students in fields outside their own specialities.
The range of the dictionary is from the earliest prehistory to the civilizations before the rise of classical Greece and Rome.

RELATIVE A L'ALPHABET DES HIÉROGLYPHES PHONÉTIQUES Champollion, M.


Monsieur, Je dois aux bontés dont vous m'honorez l'indulgent interêt que l'Académie royale des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres a bien voulu accorder à mes travaux sur les écritures égyptiennes, en me permettant de lui soumettre mes deux mémoires sur l' écriture hiératique ou sacerdotale, et sur l'écriture démotique ou populaire; j'oserai enfin, après cette épreuve si flatteuse pour moi, espérer d'avoir réussi à démontrer que ces deux espèces d'ecriture sont, l'une et l'autre, non pas alphabétiques, ainsi qu'on l'avait pensé si genéralement, mais idéographiques, comme les hiéroglyphes mêmes, c'est-à-dire peignant les idées et non les sons d'une langue; et croire être parvenu, après dix années de recherches assidues, à réunir des données presque complètes sur la théorie générale de ces deux espèces d'écriture, sur l'origine, la nature, la forme et le nombre de leurs signes, les règles de leurs combinaisons au moyen de ceux de ces signes qui remplissent des fonctions purement logiques ou grammaticales, et avoir ainsi jeté les premiers fondements de ce qu'on pourrait appeler la grammaire et le dictionnaire de ces deux écritures employées dans le grand nombre de monuments dont l'interprétation répandra tant de lumière sur l'histoire générale de l'Egypte.

HISTÓRIA DAS TÉCNICAS Ducassé, Pierre


Em pouco mais de centena e meia de páginas, Pierre Ducassé, professor de Filosofia da Universidade de Besançon e onsiderado hoje como um mestres da literatura de divulgaçao, logrou proporcionar aos leitores um completo panorama da evoluçao das técnicas, desde os rudimentares processos de que se utilizava o homem pré-histórico até às extraordinárias perspectivas abertas pela ciência do nosso século.
A história das técnicas, que o mesmo é dizer, a hostória da acçao movida pelo homem sobre a natureza, modificando-a e submetendo-a às suas necessidades, constitui um dos mais significativos aspectos da evoluçao da humanidade: desconhecê-la ou menosprezá-la equivale a furtar-se à compreensao da própria história, à compreensao do passado como do presente do homem.

THE MAGIC OF LEWIS CARROLL Fisher, John


Behind the seemingly absurd events in Lewis Carroll's fantasies of Alice and the Snark there lie a mass of mathematical games and puzzles, logical conundrums, wordplays and conjuring tricks. Although his serious work as a mathematician at Oxford was unremarkable, Carroll was able to weave webs of improbability in his "entertainments" which can confuse even the best brains, and have earned him his place in the history of mathematical and logical thought.
This comprehensive collection contains both Carroll's own puzzles and other contemporary tricks and games which influenced him, laying before us the incredible furniture of his mind, much of which found its way, either directly, or by allusion, into the Alice stories. There are problems of theoretical physics (could a forwards-being like Alice exist in the backwards-world of the Looking-glass?) and an enormous number of games using playing-cards or a set of rules for playing a kind of arithmetical croquet in our heads.

Il était des femmes dans la Résistance, livre miroir où se réfléchissent les portraits de résistance vivantes et mortes; celui de l'auteur, une femme de 1978, celui de la petite fille qu'elle fut dans une famille presque entièrement exterminée par les nazis. Livre-document, car résultat d'une longue enquête où aucun des personnages ni des aventures ne sont imaginaires mais qui se lit comme un roman. Livre d'actualité car écrit par une journaliste mêlant par un télescopage de la mémoire, le passé aux événements politiques qui l'angoissent dans le présent. Livre féministe au sens où il est une déclaration d'amour aux résistantes qui furent les égales des hommes dans le courage, la douleur et le martyre; mais qui, à la fin de la guerre, n'eurent droit ni aux honneurs, ni á la glorie, ni au repect, ni á la liberté...

L'AGRICOLTURA NELL'ITALIA ROMANA Kolendo, Jerzy


Un interesse sempre piú vivo accompagna l'uscita di opere come questa, dovuta a uno studioso polacco che padroneggia con assoluta competenza le tecniche archeologiche ed è dotato di una conoscenza filologica profonda. Ma Jerzy Kolendo possiede in piú il dono di trattare ariosamente una materia -la storia della cultura materiale- solitamente chiusa al pubblico piú largo. LE sue pagine, dedicate alla minuziosa analisi degli strumenti di lavoro dei campi, alle specifiche trasformazioni tecnologiche che conobbe l'agricoltura romana, si aprono su un panorama assai mosso e ricco, dove prendono risalto i meccanismi di una società che deve ancora in gran parte la sua ricchezza all'agricoltura ma che Kolendo ci invita a seguire afferriamo non solo l'evoluzione di un sistema produttivo, ma di una intera organizzazione dei rapporti sociali, di valori dominanti, di ideologie. Un quadro totale, che ha sullo sfondo l'immagine di mondo di schiavi.

CODE DE LA NATURE Ou le véritable esprit de ses lois, de tout temps négligé ou méconnu. Morelly


Le nom de Morelly n'a pas connu la popularité au XVIII siècle, à l'epoque où ses livres furent écrits et répandus. Son ouvre la plus importante: Le code de la nature, fut publiée en 1755; l'auteur resta anonyme et pendant longtemps, presque jusqu'au XIX siècle, son ouvrage fut attribué à Diderot. En 1773, le Code de la nature parut même dans l'edition d' Amsterdam des ouvrages du grand Encyclopédiste. En 1796, Babeuf, dans son plaidoyer, sé référa à Diderot comme à l'auteur du Code, l'appelant "le maître du communisme". En 1841, pour la première fois, le Code de la nature parut sous le nom de Morelly, dans l'édition de Villegardelle. Aucun de ses contemporains ne nous a donné de renseignements sur lui, et les recherches effectuées par la suite n'ont pu augmenter nos connaissances. Mais, quel qu'il fût, il faut sans doute lui ménager une place de premier plan dans l'histoire du socialisme.
Morelly mérite surtout d'attirer notre attention et d'être étudié en tant que maître de Babeuf et es Égaux. Les idées fondamentales de Babeuf se trouvent dans la doctrine de Morelly, quelles que soient les modifications apportées à celle-ci parles babouvistes.

SLAVERY. A PROBLEM IN AMERICAN INSTITUTIONAL & INTELLECTUAL LIFE Elkins, Stanley M.



A critical inquiry into how American slavery differed radically from other slave systems and why its effects on Negro personality were so severe and lasting.



"Slavery is one of those rare books which shows that the insights of social science can enable the historian to shed new light on an old problem. There are few in social science or history or among those who simply are interested in the Civil War and its causes who can afford to ignore this book" S.M. Lipset.

"Elkins' book on slavery opens up new ways of looking at an old subject and endows slavery with new significance for the present and new meanings for the past" C. Vann Woodward.



"Great daring, perception and originality have gone into the making of Stanley Elkins' splendid book. Not only does this study strip away many of the illusions and prejudices which have obscured our knowledge of American slavery, but it adds to our understanding of that tragic institution such keen and persuasive insight as to attain what all works of historiography must strive for, but almost never achieve: the quality of revelation. Certainly it seems clear that henceforth anyone in search of enlightenment about Negro slavery, and the legacy of slavery which remains ours today, must reckon with the implications of Porfessor Elkins' masterly work" William Styron

OSTIA Guide Archeologiche. Pavolini, Carlo


Una moderna tradizione di studi sulla Ostia romana non si è formata che di recente. Solo quarant'anni fa, infatti, la maggior parte della città oggi visibile venne riportata alla luce quasi di colpo, nel corso di poche, febbrili campagne di scavo. L'enorme quantità di dati allora emersi è ancor oggi ben lungi dal costituire un patrimonio pienamente assorbito ed elaborato dalle discipline archeologiche: gran parte dei monumenti ostiensi è, da un punto di vista scientifico, tuttora inedita.
Mi auguro comunque che questa guida costituisca un contributo alla valorizzazione di un paesaggio storico che ha pochi confronti in Italia. Ostia, quartiere commerciale di Roma nei secoli centrali della civiltà antica, mai rioccupata (a differenza di Roma), è un archivio prezioso di dati su tutti gli aspetti della vita romana, in particolare per il periodo succesivo alla distruzione di Pompei nel 79 d.C.
