Book Description
Book two of The Cyannian Trilogy continues the fantasy. It describes the development of a Universal Technology needed to provide another platform for the supernatural and physical dimensions to interact. Over the years, following their return from Cyan, Tristram teaches his people to submit their allegiance to the Infinite One and take Earth into the celestial realm. They achieve this, allowing him to complete the first stage of his great plan. Before making his transition to the spiritual dimension, he begins the second stage. Set now in their belief in the spiritual life beyond, Tristram is able to guide his people from the celestial window. They develop the Universal Technology, and from Earth, now settled in the higher physical life-plane, provide Tristram with the platform that will allow him to seed a virgin world out in the universe.

History of Machines for Heritage and Engineering Development
Author: J. M. de la Portilla
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400712510
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
This volume contains a selection of papers whose content have been presented at the International conferences CIPHI on Cultural Heritage and History of Engineering at University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, Spain, in recent years. The conference series is aimed at bringing together researchers, scholars and students from a broad range of disciplines referring to the History of Engineering and Cultural Heritage, in a unique multidisciplinary forum to stimulate collaboration among historians, architects, restaurateurs, and engineers. These papers illustrate, by treating specific emblematic topics and problems, technical developments in the historical evolution of engineering concerning cultural heritage. Thus, emphasis is given to a discussion of matters of cultural heritage with engineering history by reporting authors’ experiences and views. Topics treated include: reutilization of industrial heritage: the unique example of the Royal Segovia Mint in Spain; the image of factories; Pedro Juan De Lastanosa and “the twenty-one books of devices and machines of Juanelo”; the historical development of paper-mills and their machines in South Latium during 19th century; a virtual reconstruction of a wave-powered flour mill from 1801; 3D modelling and animation study of the industrial heritage wonders; a new model of the hydraulic machine known as “el artificio de Juanelo”; and the mystery of one Havana portrait, on the first steam machine in Cuba. This work has been made possible thanks to the invited authors who have enthusiastically shared this initiative and who have spent time and effort in preparing the papers in much more detail that in the conference presentations.

Pages : 584
Book Description
Microclimate for Cultural Heritage: Measurement, Risk Assessment, Conservation, Restoration, and Maintenance of Indoor and Outdoor Monuments, Third Edition, presents the latest on microclimates, environmental issues and the conservation of cultural heritage. It is a useful treatise on microphysics, acting as a practical handbook for conservators and specialists in physics, chemistry, architecture, engineering, geology and biology who focus on environmental issues and the conservation of works of art. It fills a gap between the application of atmospheric sciences, like the thermodynamic processes of clouds and dynamics of planetary boundary layer, and their application to a monument surface or a room within a museum. Sections covers applied theory, environmental issues and conservation, practical utilization, along with suggestions, examples, common issues and errors. - Connects theory to practice with clear illustrations, useful examples, and case studies - Covers practical issues, e.g. rising damp, moulds, and pests, indoor heating, thermal comfort, green lighting technology, performing field surveys - Presents the latest standards for measuring cultural assets and their environment - Discusses climate change and indoor - outdoor potential scenarios, including sea-level rise

Physical Techniques in the Study of Art, Archaeology and Cultural Heritage
Author:
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080548814
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
In Chapter 1 Dudley Creagh writes on "synchrotron radiation and its use in art, archaeometry, and cultural heritage studies". Loic Bertrand has written in Chapter 2 on synchrotron imaging for archaeology and art history, conservation, and palaeontology. Dr. Bertrand is Archaeology and cultural heritage officer at the new French synchrotron, Synchrotron Soleil (Orme les Mesuriers, Gif-sur-Yvette, France). He is charged with the task of raising the awareness of cultural heritage scientists to the use of synchrotron radiation for their research. Chapter 3 has been written by Ivan Cole and his associates Dr David Paterson and Deborah Lau. This is concerned with the holistic modelling of gas and aerosol deposition and the degradation of cultural objects. Dr. Cole is Deputy Chief of the Novel Materials and Processes Division of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (Melbourne, Australia). He has over twenty years experience in involvement in projects concerned with the preservation of cultural heritage. Ivan is an internationally recognized leader in the field of the life cycle of materials and the development of protective coatings for metals. In Chapter 4, Giovanna Di Pietro describes two different types of experiments she has undertaken in the study of the mechanisms underlying the degradation of photographic media. In the first Dr. Di Pietro describes the degradation of old back-and-white plate. In the second she outlines her attempts to understand the mechanisms by which comparatively modern motion picture film degrades. A significant part of this project involved trying to ascertain exactly what dyes were used by Kodak in their motion picture film from about 1980 onwards. An entirely new technique for the remote investigation of the pigments in paintings is presented by Maria Kubik in Chapter 5. This technique will significantly enhance the ability of conservators to study the palette of pigments used by artists, check for repairs by others, and detect fraudulent paintings.· Demonstrates the amazing efforts being made in using physical techniques for the study of art, archaeology and cultural heritage· Provides succinct accounts of how cultural heritage is being preserved.· Looks at how science is being used to enrich our knowledge of the creative arts

Cultural Heritage
Author: Hani Hayajneh
Publisher: LIT Verlag
ISBN: 3643962525
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 868
Book Description
Human heritage is an endless mine of knowledge, skills, ethos and accomplishments, which visualize and examine the power of human creativity and innovation throughout the history. The contributions cast an insight into the human psyche to perceive its Weltanschauung, and its way of thinking and making artefacts associated with knowledge, existence and identity in the context of other existing systems in the world. They demonstrate the diversity of topics as well as the state-of-the art of interdisciplinary approaches that participants of the Humboldt-Kolleg use in their research on cultural heritage, and confirm, once again, that the strengths of the Alexander von Humboldt Network should be celebrated and honoured. The present volume invites us to seek more novel research approaches that aim towards an understanding of the complex nature of human inheritance.

Book Description
The owl gazed at Reggie, who by now was totally captivated by the presence of the creature. The owl rocked its head from side to side, as it peered down between the swaying branches at him. Suddenly it took to its wing and flew a short way along the foot-path, leading Reggie further away from the canal tow-path. Settling on the branch of another tree a little farther on, it stared back at Reggie, now obsessed with the creature it, seeming to want him to follow it. He became curious of the owls appearance and presence. Though it had moved away from the light, its eyes still shone brightly. The owl continued to move further along the path-way, with Reggies insatiable curiosity requiring him to follow it he, continually being led away from the tow-path by the creature.

Languages : en
Pages : 247
Book Description
As Vicky and Jamie complete their plan on Sanctus, the remainder of their lives there are spent preparing their daughter, Sasha, for her task in life. In Sophie, the daughter of Sam and Kenny, Sasha realises a faithful companion, and together they take up the challenge begun by their parents. Making their transitions back to the spiritual dimension, Jamie, Vicky, Sam and Kenny gaze down through the Celestial Window, and soon discover their lives there have given them the power to guide and protect their children. The evil minions, ever present, sense this and cunningly begin to draw their plans against the ageing Sasha and Sophie. Constantly gazing towards Sanctus's celestial horizon, Jamie sees a confusion of events looming for the elderly women. What gives him heart is the development of mediumistic skills in both Sasha and Sophie― a priceless resource that will give them access to the home dimension. With this access to spiritual knowledge, the onus, once again, rests on humanity's ability to accept on faith what Sasha and Sophie offer. With their second incarnate period behind them, Vicky and Jamie feel secure in their knowledge; basking in the increasing spiritual companionship with each incarnation. Dedicated to the Infinite One, they have submitted to a greater understanding of his plan; consequently, Sasha and Sophie, both proven souls in their own right, have been prepared by their parent hosts. Drawn together by this conscientious guidance from their parents, they gradually move towards their own kindred, spiritual companions― once joined together, they will begin the next stage of their destinies... CJB.
