The Industrial Revolution - Lost in Antiquity - Found in the Renaissance
Author: Cort MacLean Johns Ph.D. - HSG
Publisher: Cort MacLean Johns Ph.D.- HSG
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 473
Book Description
Historians of Technology have failed to include the larger contribution and influence of Ctesibius’ compressor-driven Hydraulis with its pneumatic pumps, keyboard, and organ pipes in the path of critical preparatory events leading up to the ‘Latent’ Industrial Revolution. One should also realize that Ctesibius had all the parts and sub-assemblies on hand to invent the first Steam Hydraulis or Calliope, as illustrated on the front book cover of this work. From the 'Fertile Crescent' of the Persian Empire to the Hellenistic Library of Alexandria, Vitruvius writing brought the Hydraulis to the Abbey of St. Gall in 1414 during the Renaissance. Its path then took it through Italy, Germany, and the Paris of Louis XIV along the Arch of Industrial Reawakening. This was the Hydraulis 2-millennium path from Antiquity to its return reigniting the 'Latent' Industrial Revolution.

Author: Arthur Rothstein
Publisher: Dover Publications
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
"Spanning a half-century, the 90 evocative photographs in this volume crystallize the essence of America. Reproduced directly from the originals, they preserve forever the Steeplechase Amusement Park in Coney Island (1940), a memorable first day of school in New York City (1950), Stan Musial and the 1951 St. Louis Cardinals, the vitality of John F. Kennedy (1961), the ideal of small-town life, the changing South, the sweeping natural beauty of the West and striking images of presidents from Franklin Roosevelt to Ronald Reagan. The product of Rothstein's more than 45 years as a photojournalist, this stirring anthology is an affirmation of faith in America. It is also a testament to the photographer's artistry and versatility. Hailed by critics at home and abroad, Rothstein's vignettes of daily life, his revealing portraits, breathtaking landscapes, and thought provoking still lifes raise documentary photography to a fine art. His photographs, masterly in their sense of design and composition, are in the permanent collections of major museums, and exhibitions of his works have been presented at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; the International Museum of Photography, Rochester; the Royal Photographic Society, London; and the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris"--Back cover.
