C. E. Borchgrevink, "First on the Antarctic Continent: Being an Account of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1898-1900 "
English | ISBN: 1108071880 | 2014 | 358 pages | PDF | 70 MB
Norwegian-born Carsten Egeberg Borchgrevink (1864-1934) claimed to have been the first person to step onto the Antarctic mainland when he first visited the continent in 1895. Becoming enthusiastic about Antarctic exploration, he was inspired to organise his own expedition on the Southern Cross, with principal funding from Sir George Newnes, an English newspaper proprietor. The British Antarctic Expedition (1898-1900) of ten men to Cape Adare comprised seven Norwegians, two British and one Australian. This was the first expedition to construct a building in Antarctica, overwinter on land, and use sledge dogs for travel. It also set a new farthest south record. Although Borchgrevink was not an effective leader, and problems developed between the Norwegians and the English speakers, the expedition's scientific and exploratory achievements were significant. First published in 1901, and illustrated with many photographs, this work illuminates these endeavours.

Finding the Right Words: Isidore's "Synonyma" in Anglo-Saxon England By Claudia Di Sciacca
2008 | 342 Pages | ISBN: 0802091296 | PDF | 2 MB
Isidore of Seville (circa 570-636) was the author of the 'Etymologiae', the most celebrated and widely circulated encyclopaedia of the western Middle Ages. In addition, Isidore's 'Synonyma' were very successful and became one of the classics of medieval spirituality. Indeed, it was the 'Synonyma' that were to define the so-called 'Isidorian style', a rhymed, rhythmic prose that proved influential throughout the Middle Ages.'Finding the Right Words' is the first book-length study to deal with the transmission and reception of works by Isidore of Seville in Anglo-Saxon England, with a particular focus on the 'Synonyma'. Beginning with a general survey of Isidore's life and activity as a bishop in early seventh-century Visigothic Spain, Claudia Di Sciacca offers a comprehensive introduction to the 'Synonyma', drawing special attention to their distinctive style. She goes on to discuss the transmission of the text to early medieval England and its 'vernacularisation', that is, its translations and adaptations in Old English prose and verse. The case for the particular receptiveness of the 'Synonyma' in Anglo-Saxon England is strongly supported by both a close reading of primary sources and an extensive selection of secondary literature.This rigorous, well-documented volume demonstrates the significance of the 'Synonyma' to our understanding of the literary pretensions and pedagogical practices of Anglo-Saxon England, and offers new insights into the interaction of Latin and vernacular within its literary culture.

You stroll out into your backyard. You see a tangle of overgrown shrubs, a lawn that needed to be mowed yesterday, and a series of rosebushes minus the roses. Or maybe you've just taken possession of your brand-new house in a brand-new subdivision, and when you step out the back door, all you see is a vista of sod - and in the far distance, the neighbor's sapling. Either way, you know that you want to do something to your yard, and soon. But you're not quite sure what or how.
