The Library was formed by Edwin Sydney Hartland and was a diverse but major collection of herbals archaeology and anthropology. It was donated to Gloucestershire County Council in 1936 and was eventually dispersed around 2010. Crescenzi was born of a good family in Bologna Italy. He studied logic natural history medicine and law in the University of Bologna and became a lawyer and writer. Tired of law practice he decided to write about agricultural matters. His book entitled Ruralia Commoda contained much information relative to domestic plants and animals. The books is considered to be the best medieval treatise on agriculture about 1306. It was very popular in continental Europe was translated into several European languages and it exists in a large number of manuscripts. It was likewise printed many times. The book was composed with the purpose of providing the intelligent farmer with a practical account of all aspects of farming. It included material concerning plant growth extracted from the work of Albertus Magnus as well as the arrangement of farm buildings and water supply. Among the subjects treated were: Cultivation of cereals peas and beans. Cultivation of grapes and making of wines. Cultivation of fruit trees vegetables medicinal plants and flowers. Care of woods.

Contemporary Acco-folder post-binder bound w/ nickel-plated sliding Acco fastener at gutter margin minor edgewear rubbing still VG exemplar. A fascinating patent model album and patent award for a rotary â€œinternal-combustion engineâ€ developed by Wedig a Granite City IL physician and inventor. Rotary engines had first been developed by Millet and Hargrave by 1889 with applications to motorcycles and operating large flywheels. By 1900 Adams-Farwell automobiles had developed and introduced rotary engines into their motor cars. Prior to World War I there was a flurry of activity surrounding the development of rotary engines for aircraft as their power-to-weight ratios gave them an advantage over in-line engines being developed at the time. Dr. Wedig 1885-1934 an Illinois physician and inventor believed that he had made enough improvements to claim a U.S. patent including the piston sequences camshaft issues oil distribution and cooling problems. He filed in April 1918 just months after the U.S. had entered World War I and formed the Sun Motors Corporation to develop a lighter weight and more efficient rotary engine apparently not only for aircraft but also other uses. However his patent was not awarded until July 1922 and by that time high fuel consumption and oil lubrication issues would doom the rotary engine within a very short time and Sun Motors Corporation disappeared. Air-cooled radial engines notably produced by Jaguar and Bristol Jupiter replaced rotaries in aircraft and rotary engines before the Wankel rotary engine were largely confined to small and short-lived automobile companies such as Adams-Farwell Bailey Intrepid and others. Wedig had previously invented and patented a double-chamber syringe and known to have worked on other technological and medical devices. Schreiber 1879-1947 was a lithographer who became a successful commercial photographer whose business flourished until the Great Depression and then he disappears from street and commercial directory listings and is registered as unemployed for the World War II draft in 1942.

This copy is one of several dozen books from Alonzo Church's library that we were lucky enough to purchase at auction in New Jersey. Several of the books contain his signature or a presentation inscription to him. Unfortunately this copy does not have those signs of his ownership. But please check our inventory for several others that do. However there is a paper laid-in with bibliographic data concerning the book that appears to be written in Dr. Church's hand. Alonzo Church 1903 - 1995 was professor of mathematics at Princeton University 1929-1967 and of mathematics and philosophy at UCLA 1967-1990. He was the founding editor of the JOURNAL OF SYMBOLIC LOGIC. Among his most influential contributions are Church's Theorem Church's Thesis and the Lambda Calculus. His work was of major importance in mathematical logic recursion theory theoretical computer science and functional programming languages in general. Professor Church's creation of lambda calculus was the foundation for the LISP programming language and provided the semantic model for ALGOL. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences British Academy and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Church is regarded by many as the greatest American logician of the 20th century.

Vulnerability of the Soviet Union and Its European Satellites to Political Warfare 5 Volumes

19521205300085Center for International Studies: MIT 1952. Perfect Paperback. Good. A classified study of the political vulnerabilities of the Soviet Union. This study was rated Secret under Title 18 of the US espionage laws. Walt Whitman Rostow and other cold war analysts such as Adam Ulam McGeorge Bundy Andreas Lowenfeld Barrington Moore Allen Dulles etc. prepared it for the CIA DOD and Psychological Strategy Board. The recommendations are quite fascinating and have important implications for future US cold war policies. The analyzes of the study are quite vivid and strongly argued for example "The regime might also undertake major war in a variety of conditions under which it became convinced that major war was the only realistic alternative to loss of control over Soviet society. In other terms the regime is likely o choose to go down fighting rather than surrender its domestic base without a fight. For example on the knowledge available to us it seems likely that an overt ultimatum to the regime whose acceptance would be judged to involve both loss of essential positions and open capitulation to an external threat would be rejected." Machiavelli is quoted in the analysis. 5 volumes. "Secret" has been inked out on the top and bottom margin of all pages. Bound in CENIS wraps. viii 222 i 275 pp. Contents include: Part I. Recommendations secret; Part II. A Origin Present Status and Prospects for Soviet Society B Vulnerability of the Soviet Union and its European Satellites to Political Warfare; Part III. A Cancellation; B Some Problems of Radio Broadcasting to the Soviet Union and its European Satellites; C Some problems of policy in respect to the non-Russian Soviet Peoples; D A statement of U.S. Interests and objectives in Russia and Eastern Europe. Volume II The Dynamics of Soviet Society. Center for International Studies: MIT paperback

He was considered a great expert on rural affairs and one of the first British agriculturalists to discuss the importance of farming as an industry. The book treats of improvements in general of enclosing meadows and pastures and of watering and draining them of clovers vetches spurry Wiltshire long-grass probably that of the meadows of Salisbury hemp flax rape turnips etc. A Persian wheel was made by his direction in Wiltshire in 1665 that carried water in good quantity above twenty feet high for watering meadows and another near Godalming in Surrey. Sowing clover and other seeds preserved the cattle in the fatal winter of 1673 in the southern parts of England; whereas in the western and northern through defect of hay and pasture the greater part of their cattle perished. Hops enough were not planted but we imported them from the Netherlands of a quality not so good as our own. The authors he chiefly quotes are Weston Hartlib and Blith. Worlidge's system of husbandry collected information published during the period of the Commonwealth. The work went through a number of editions and was important for many years. . Second edition.

[STREAMLINER RAILROADS -- AIR CONDITIONING TECHNOLOGY].Biblio.com

An extraordinary in-house American Car & Foundry research & development factory photo album detailing the innovative introduction of air-conditioning to diesel-powered stainless steel and steel train cars.

193264022St. Charles MO & Chicago IL: American Car & Foundry Engineering Dept. Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railway; St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad 1932-1940. Oblong folio. 15.5 x 11.25 in. 112 pp unpaginated. thick black paper stock. With 151 silver gelatin photographs mounted within sized from 7 x 9 in. up to 10.5 x 13.5 in. a few long narrow 6 x 13.5 in. nearly all w/ typed captions w/in negative at lower fore-edges some w/ minor chipping at corners others w/ minor rippling from mounting. Contemporary faux textured flexible black calf post-binder nickel-plated screwposts at gutter margin wraparound spine black cloth w/ white lettering for title â€œAir. Condt. Equip.â€ on spine in manuscript some bumping to corners a few leaves w/ cracking in center from weight of images a few reinforced at gutter margin w/ black cloth tape still a VG exemplar. This exceptional in-house factory album visually details the American Car & Foundryâ€™s research & development testing laboratory facilities as they raced to compete with the Pullman Company to introduce the latest innovation in rail technology -- air conditioning. This one technology was not only essential for fast streamlined trains as prior to their introduction passenger railcars were largely cooled by opening windows but also for their standard railcars as well. However all steel cars with the emphasis on less wind resistance allowed all railroad car sets to travel at higher speeds -- streamliners up to 100 miles per hour. Ralph Budd the president of Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad was the innovator who combined the all steel cars first developed in 1907 by Alexander Cassatt with stainless steel air-conditioning equipment and powerful diesel engines. This album opens with equipment for the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific Railway diner cars along with mechanical air-conditioning systems for the Wabash RR Chair Cars; together with the mechanical systems motors belts fan systems compressor coils air-conditioning ice boxes for transporting perishable foods and so much more. Of additional interest are the portable temporary rolling air-conditioning units which would be hooked up to diner and passenger coach cars when in the depot allowing comfort while the cars were not powered by diesel locomotive engines and their power plants so as to not drain the batteries. American Car & Foundry systems proved so successful that many of these photos show their large â€œThermo-Gravity Air Conditioning Systemâ€ units for overseas railways. No similar albums or technological records for American Car & Foundry are located in Worldcat; See: Air Conditioning: The Essential Technology Streamliner Memories August 1 2013.

Unpackaged for shipment the binder weighs over 8 pounds and if sent outside of the United States will require additional shipping charges. The term "ASCI academic strategic alliances program" has evolved into to the Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program PSAAP. The earlier ASCI Academic Strategic Alliance Program ASAP was a U.S. Department of Energy initiative to advance computational modeling and simulation through academic partnerships. In response to the FY1994 National Defense Authorization Act establishing the Stockpile Stewardship Program the U.S. Department of Energy DOE has taken a different approach to its responsibility to ensure confidence in the safety performance and reliability of our nuclear stockpile. Without nuclear testing as the final arbiter of scientific judgment weapons scientists must rely much more heavily on computers to simulate the aging process and its impact on our weapon systems along with the impact of any required modifications. DOE's Stockpile Stewardship Program was established to develop new means of assessing the performance of nuclear weapon systems predict their safety and reliability and certify their functionality. The program not only must fulfill its responsibilities without nuclear testing but also must deal with constraints on nonnuclear testing the downsizing of production capability and the cessation of developing new weapon systems to replace existing weapons. Weapon components are exceeding their design lifetimes and manufacturing issues and environmental concerns will force changes in fabrication processes and materials of weapon components. As a result the Accelerated Strategic Computing Initiative ASCI Program was established to be the focus of DOE's simulation and modeling efforts aimed at providing high-fidelity computer simulations of weapon systems that will enable scientists to continue to make the necessary judgments to maintain the credibility of the nuclear deterrent. This initiative will help define the right configuration of production and testing facilities necessary for managing the stockpile throughout the next several decades.
