The Beauty of Physics Patterns, Principles, and Perspectives

The Beauty of Physics Patterns, Principles, and Perspectives
A. R. P. Rau, "The Beauty of Physics: Patterns, Principles, and Perspectives"
English | 2014 | pages: 231 | ISBN: 0198709919 | PDF | 114,7 mb
The beauty of physics lies in its coherence in terms of a few fundamental concepts and principles. Even physicists have occasion to marvel at the overarching reach of basic principles and their ability to account for features stretching from the microscopic sub-atomic world to the cosmological expanses of the Universe. While mathematics is its natural language, physics is mostly about patterns, connections, and relations between objects and phenomena, and it is this aspect that is emphasized in this book.

The Beardsley Industry The Critical Reception in England and France 1893 - 1914 (Routledge Revivals)

The Beardsley Industry The Critical Reception in England and France 1893 - 1914 (Routledge Revivals)
The Beardsley Industry: The Critical Reception in England and France 1893 - 1914 (Routledge Revivals) By Jane Haville Desmarais
2019 | 166 Pages | ISBN: 1138341134 | EPUB | 9 MB
First published in 1998, this is the first book to examine the critical reception accorded to Beardsley's work.For most of his short working life fierce debate raged in Britain over the merit of Aubrey Beardsley's black and white drawings. Applauded for their technical skill, they were as often deplored for their 'slimy nastiness', their fin-de-siècle decadence and their foreign styles. There are 'tainted whiffs from across the channel which lodge the Gallic germs in our lungs. Our Beardsleys have identical symptoms with Verlaine, Degas, Le Grand, Forain, and might quite well be sick from infection' stormed Margaret Armour in the Magazine of Art.Jane Haville Desmarais opens with an account of the English response, exploring the fascinating interplay between Beardsley's exploitation of the new media to shape his public persona and promote his work and the critics' use of his life and art to articulate the fears and anxieties of the English fin de siècle. The second half of the book moves to France and deals with a different set of preoccupation. The French perceived Beardsley as the natural inheritor of the mantle of Pre-Raphaelitism. His work remained current largely through the interest of the Symbolists and, in particular, Robert de Montesquiou who celebrated Beardsley's picturing of the fantasy realms of desire. The intriguing study of two very different critical traditions casts light on key issues of art history and literary studies, in particular the relationship between critical response and social perception.With 21 black and white illustrations, the book also has invaluable appendices which include a bibliography of criticism and comment on the work of Aubrey Beardsley between 1893 and 1914.

The Basque Seroras explores the intersections between local community, women's work, and religious reform in early modern northern Spain. Amanda L. Scott illuminates the lives of these uncloistered religious women, who took no vows and were free to leave the religious life if they chose. Their vocation afforded them considerably more autonomy and, in some ways, liberty, than nuns or wives.

The Pittsburgh Division had its earliest beginnings in 1837, but what would be known as the main line was not completed until 1871. At its height, the Pittsburgh Division consisted of five distinct main lines and 14 branch lines, and the division had trackage rights over the Western Maryland and Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroads. Images of Modern America: The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad's Pittsburgh Division looks at five of these lines: the B&O Main Line from Cumberland to Pittsburgh; the Pittsburgh and Western; the Somerset and Cambria; the Fairmont, Morgantown and Pittsburgh; and the Wheeling, Pittsburgh and Baltimore.
