Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. 2011 Palgrave hardcover edition. Ex library copy with stamps and labels else good condition. This new survey of scientific endeavor within the British Empire is the most wide-ranging yet published, examining the interconnections between science, the British Empire, and the emergence of a globalized world. It identifies and analyzes the web of scientific networks crisscrossing the British Empire through which scientific knowledge and authority were produced, circulated and legitimated, critically engaging with new ways of thinking about networked connections across space. The contributors offer a comparative perspective that surveys a variety of scientific initiatives and circuits, including networks of agronomists, anatomists, botanists, foresters, geologists, marine biologists, oceanographers and physicists. They chart the evolving practices, strategies, theoretical ideas and agendas among research scientists, technical advisers, imperial administrators, and native peoples in Africa, Australia, Britain, India and elsewhere; each chapter combines rigorous research with theoretical reflection based on the latest literature, as well as serving as a useful introduction to that literature.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. 1981 Oxford University Press hardcover edition. Ex library copy with stamps and labels else good condition. From the dustjacket: Sir Richard Southern was a fellow and tutor of Balliol College, Oxford, from 1937 to 1961, Chichele Professor of Modern History from 1961 to 1969, and since 1969 has been President of St. John's College, Oxford. In this book will be found seventeen essays by his old pupils on various aspects of a subject which he made particularly his own, The Writing of History in the Middle Ages. Ranging from the eighth century to the fifteenth, and from Scotland to Byzantium, the essays illustrate both the unity and the breadth of Sir Richard's teaching. Norman and Anglo-Norman historians (from Worcester to Bec-Hellouin, and Bec-Hellouin to Salerno) receive special attention, but there are also studies of confession and sermons as historical sources; of legal history and chivalrous history; of German town chroniclers; and of the biographer of King Henry VI. All these essays are original contributions to their subject, containing new material, and in several cases preparing the ground for new editions. In some measure they illustrate the combination of profound scholarship, sympathetic understanding, and literary form which are the hallmarks of Sir Richard's own work.

paperback, 208 pages, illustrated, 27 x 21 cm, English. ISBN 9789462303478. Swedish Ecstasy: Hilma AF Klint, August Strindberg & Other Visionaries (Bozar Brussels) aantalToevoegen aan winkelwagen Sweden may be seen as a Protestant nation of great engineers and entrepreneurs, but the nation?s spiritual life has long been influenced by a less official current, visible in its art and literature. Mysticism and esoteric speculation runs through the writings of some of Sweden?s most important figures, from the 18th-century scientist, theologian and philosopher Emanuel Swedenborg to the turn of the 20th century with August Strindberg, known primarily as a novelist and playwright. He was also involved in alchemical experiments, occult photography and proto-expressionist paintings that verge on abstraction. In the same period we find art by visionaries such as Carl Fredrik Hill, Ernst Josephson and Hilma af Klint. These visions continue to inspire contemporary artists such as Cecilia Edefalk, Carsten H ller, Christine dlund, Daniel Youssef and Lars Olof Loeld. 0 g.…
