8vo., Second Edition, with title-vignette, plates, and very numerous illustrations and diagrams in the text; orange cloth, gilt back, covers unevenly faded else a very good, bright, clean copy. Dorothy Hartley takes time off from the history of culinary matters to concentrate upon the fast-vanishing arts and crafts of the countryside. Initially published just before the outbreak of WWII, this revised and enlarged version appeared a year later in time to boost wartime spirits. As with all her work this is a wide ranging, detailed and particularly well-illustrated account. SCARCE.

br. Le lezioni contenute nel terzo volume di Metodi Matematici della Fisica costituiscono un ponte tra il mondo della meccanica quantistica e quello della teoria quantistica dei campi. Nella prima parte si completa il quadro matematico, già presentato nel secondo volume, inerente alla teoria degli operatori lineari in uno spazio di Hilbert. La seconda parte è concepita come un laboratorio in cui sviluppare i concetti introdotti e adeguarli alla complessità della teoria quantistica dei campi: obiettivo dell'autore non è tanto l'esposizione completa della teoria, quanto la presentazione degli attori che svolgono i ruoli principali.
br. Desiderate fare una campagna elettorale perfetta ed essere eletti? Ricette infallibili non ce ne sono, però leggendo questo saggio certamente potrete carpire tutta una serie di segreti e trucchi del mestiere, e ancora meglio potrete evitare errori madornali e brutte figure. Però dovrete studiare, e non poco. Sapere di sistemi elettorali, tanto per cominciare, ma anche di comunicazione tradizionale. Sareste in grado di farvi un santino? Sapete, poi, che c'è una sottile analogia tra Pio XIII e Paolo Gentiloni? Non lo sapete o non sapete chi è Pio XIII? E che prima di Beppe Grillo un altro comico aveva scalato la vetta più alta della politica americana diventando Presidente? Sapete chi è Waldo? Se Antonio La Trippa si candidasse di questi tempi, farebbe ancora lo stesso discorso? A queste e a tante altre domande troverete risposta in queste pagine.
