199586057Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers 1995. First edition and first printing thus. Reprinted from Solar Physics Volume 162 Nos. 1-2 1995. Hardcover. Very good. xii 531 1 pages. Illustrations some in color. Formulae. References. No dust jacket present. Illustrated front cover. The SOHO Solar and Heliospheric Observatory was a project of international cooperation between ESA and NASA to study the Sun from its deep core to the outer corona and the solar wind. To achieve its scientific goals it carried a complement of twelve sophisticated state-of-the-art instruments. Three helioseismology instruments were expected to provide unique data for the study of the structure and dynamics of the solar interior from the very deep core to the outermost layers of the convection zone. A set of five complementary remote sensing instruments consisting of EUV and UV imagers spectrographs and coronagraphs were intended to give the first comprehensive view of the outer solar atmosphere and corona leading to a better understanding of the enigmatic coronal heating and solar wind acceleration processes. Finally three experiments were to complement the remote sensing observations by making in-situ measurement of the composition and energy of the solar wind and charged energetic particles. This volume contains detailed descriptions of all the twelve instruments on board SOHO. Also included are an overview paper and a description of the SOHO ground system science operations and data products. The aim of these papers was to make the broader scientific community and in particular potential guest investigators aware of the scientific objectives and capability of the SOHO payload and to provide a reference document for the various instruments. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory SOHO is a European Space Agency ESA spacecraft built by a European industrial consortium led by Matra Marconi Space now Airbus Defence and Space that was launched on a Lockheed Martin Atlas IIAS launch vehicle on 2 December 1995 to study the Sun. It has also discovered over 4000 comets. It began normal operations in May 1996. It is a joint project between the European Space Agency ESA and NASA. SOHO was part of the International Solar Terrestrial Physics Program ISTP. Originally planned as a two-year mission SOHO continues to operate after over 25 years in space; the mission has been extended until the end of 2025 subject to review and confirmation by ESA's Science Programme Committee. In addition to its scientific mission it is a main source of near-real-time solar data for space weather prediction. Along with Wind Advanced Composition Explorer ACE and Deep Space Climate Observatory DSCOVR SOHO is one of four spacecraft in the vicinity of the Earth–Sun L1 point a point of gravitational balance located approximately 0.99 astronomical unit AU from the Sun and 0.01 AU from the Earth. In addition to its scientific contributions SOHO is distinguished by being the first three-axis-stabilized spacecraft to use its reaction wheels as a kind of virtual gyroscope; the technique was adopted after an on-board emergency in 1998 that nearly resulted in the loss of the spacecraft. The three main scientific objectives of SOHO are: Investigation of the outer layer of the Sun which consists of the chromosphere transition region and the corona. The instruments CDS EIT LASCO SUMER SWAN and UVCS are used for this solar atmosphere remote sensing; Making observations of solar wind and associated phenomena in the vicinity of L1. CELIAS and COSTEP are used for "in situ" solar wind observations and Probing the interior structure of the Sun. GOLF MDI and VIRGO are used for helioseismology. Kluwer Academic Publishers hardcover
19565Poland's letter to Harington on letterhead of 28 Sloane Gardens S.W. London ; 1 May 1897. Harington's draft letter to the Attorney General from 87 Eaton Terrace S.W. London ; 2 May 1897. The background to the present correspondence is dealt with exhaustively in C. J. W. Allen's 'The Law of Evidence in Victorian England' 1997 and David Bentley's 'English Criminal Justice in the 19th Century' 1998 chapters 17 'The Campaign for a Prisoners' Evidence Act' and 18 'Reform'. ONE: Autograph Letter Signed from Poland 'Harry Bodkin-Poland' to Harington 'His Honour Judge Sir Richard Harington Bart.'. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged. He begins by informing Harington that he has sent a letter to The Times but that he fears it is 'too long for this busy time with the newspapers'. He asks him his opinion of 'the calm & sober judgment of Stephen' i.e. Sir Herbert Stephen 1857-1932. The letter continues: 'The Bill will not be in Committee for a week or ten days so you have plenty of time to consider your letter to the A. G. When notice of all the Amendments has been given the Lord Chancellor will no doubt I should think consult the Cabinet as to which if any of them the Government will accept. The L. C. Lord Cross Lord James Sir Matthew Ridley Lord Salisbury & others in Cabinet with actual experience & the A. G. & Solicitor. General. & men like Sir Edmund Clarke & others out of the Cabinet ought to make a good working Bill.' He concludes by stating his point of view: 'The more I think of the subject the more I am convinced that no safeguards can be of any use & that everything must be left as at present to the good sense & judgment of the Court & Counsel.' TWO: Two Autograph documents by Poland headed by him 'Rider A' and 'Rider B' giving his legal opinion for insertion in Item Three below. The first 2pp. 8vo is in poor condition aged and frayed. It begins: 'Poland thinks the instructing Solicitors or Counsel or both on behalf of prisioners is absolutely impracticable. See the Calendars of the Central. Criminal. Court. the London Sessions & of large towns.' The second 1p. 12mo is in fair condition lightly aged. It begins: 'Poland thinks that care must be taken that prisoners should not be able to say that the Prosecutor & his witnesses have sworn so & so &c & the Prisoner and his wife only stated so & so. The affirmation must be like the affirmation of people who object to be sworn.' THREE: Autograph Draft of Letter from Harington to the Attorney General Sir Richard Webster. 9pp. 12mo. With emendations by both Harington and Poland including directions by the latter for the insertion of the two riders Item Two above. Begins: 'I have had a long talk with Poland over the prisoner's evidence bill on the assumption that its principle is taken to be established & is not open to argument. We agree very decidedly that its operation should extend equally to every class of criminal case whether triable on indictment at a General Session of Oyer & Terminer or Quarter Sessions or <> at Police Courts & Petty Sessions'. Harington proceeds to argue his position forcefully and in great detail. At one point Poland writes: 'Poland cannot go so far as this & the danger of injustice already exists from incompetent judges Chairmen of Q. S. & Recorders & magistrates'.

Along with his son Johannes Blaeu Willem is considered one of the notable figures of the Netherlandish/Dutch school of cartography in its golden age the 16th and 17th centuries. Blaeu set up his mapmaking and publishing business in Amsterdam where he sold instruments and globes published maps and edited the works of intellectuals like Descartes and Hugo Grotius. In 1633 he was appointed map-maker of the Dutch East India Company. In 1635 he released his atlas Theatrum Orbis Terrarum sive Atlas novus. Willem died in 1638. He had two sons Cornelis 1610-1648 and Johannes 1596-1673. Joan trained as a lawyer but joined his father's business rather than practice. After his father's death the brothers took over their father's shop and Joan took on his work as hydrographer to the Dutch East India Company. Later in life Joan would modify and greatly expand his father's Atlas novus eventually releasing his masterpiece the Atlas maior between 1662 and 1672. Wikipedia unknown
