Golden Legacy | Leonard S. Marcus usato Enciclopedie Biblioteche e Archivi

Golden Legacy | Leonard S. Marcus usato Enciclopedie Biblioteche e Archivi

Back in print, the fascinating history of Little Golden Books, in celebration of their 75th anniversary in 2017! With a Foreword by Eric Carle. Eminent children's historian Leonard Marcus' Golden Legacy chronicles the fascinating story of the creation, marketing, and worldwide impact of Little Golden Books, the most popular children's books of all time. Launched during the dark days of WWII, Golden Books such as The Poky Little Puppy were an instant sensation. Hallmarked by their superlative quality yet affordable to nearly all, they changed the cultural landscape and mirrored our changing postwar culture: the powerful influence of television, the post-Sputnik renaissance in American science education, and the birth of the civil rights movement. Lavishly illustrated with the iconic Golden Book covers and colorful artwork  generations of children have pored over, Golden Legacy is a compelling tale of mavericks, innovators, and renowned authors and illustrators. . . a stirring celebration of the humble books in which we scrawled our names, with the cardboard cover and the shiny gold-foil spine.

Italia. L'invenzione della patria | Fabio Finotti usato Storia Storiografia Temi

Italia. L'invenzione della patria | Fabio Finotti usato Storia Storiografia Temi

In un momento storico in cui i flussi migratori invitano a ripensare il ruolo e l'identità dei paesi europei, Fabio Finotti ci conduce attraverso i diversi significati che l'idea di "patria" ha avuto nei secoli, a partire dal laboratorio in cui queste diverse concezioni si sono confrontate: l'Italia. Dall'idea di Virgilio che vedeva la patria come qualcosa da costruire (invece che un dato naturale), all'idea di impero come somma di diversità di Carlo Magno, passando per l'idea romantica di Foscolo e Manzoni e la retorica del fascismo, fino alla nostalgia degli espatriati di Little Italy, questo libro ci ricorda che l'Italia è il frutto di una straordinaria e mutevole "invenzione culturale".

Principles of Lasers | Orazio Svelto usato Scienze Fisica

Principles of Lasers | Orazio Svelto usato Scienze Fisica

R. G. Cooks This introduction has three purposes: (a) to summarize some of the chief features of energy spectrometry of ions and to sketch in a little of the background to this subject, (b) to present some simple facts about collision processes which one skilled in, say, mass spectrometry but innocent of any knowledge of bimolecular collisions might find of value, and (c) to indicate the scope and content of the volume. 1. The Subject This book takes as its subject, ion-molecule and ion-atom reactions occurring at high energies. It emphasizes the study of inelastic reactions at high energy through measurements of translational energy. The investiga tion of these reactions using other procedures has been important in the cases of the simpler systems. In particular, the emitted radiation has been investigated and this subject is therefore discussed where appropriate. For more complex species, however, there is little information available other than from energy spectra. The defining characteristic of the energy range of interest is that momentum transfer to the neutral target is negligible for small scattering angles. The result of this apparently bland condition is a welcome simplicity in the interpretation of the results of what appears to be developing into a R. G. Cooks • Department of Chemistry, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana 47907. 2 Introduction unique form of spectroscopy. The names ion kinetic-energy spectrometry, translational energy spectrometry, collision spectroscopy, and energy-loss spectrometry have all been used to describe this subject (d. Section 5).

Memorie dei Cheyenne | John Stands In Timber, Margot Liberty usato Storia Contemporanea

Memorie dei Cheyenne | John Stands In Timber, Margot Liberty usato Storia Contemporanea

Gli Cheyenne attorno al 1700 si trasferirono nelle pianure alte, vivendo in villaggi di "tepee", cacciando il bisonte ed effettuando razzie e spedizioni di guerra, contro i Crow, i Pawnee, gli Shoshoni, gli Ute. Nel 1851 il trattato di Ford Laramie separò i Cheyenne settentrionali da quelli meridionali, una separazione più geografica che reale, ma che contribuì a disgregare la loro struttura tribale. Nel 1876 si unirono ai Sioux per combattere le truppe di George Custer: furono tra i protagonisti nella battaglia di Little Big Horn. La loro fine arrivò con lo sterminio dei bisonti. Confinati in piccole riserve nel Montana del Sud o nell'Oklahoma, resistettero fino allo stremo all'invasione dei bianchi finché i loro capi furono deportati in Florida.

It's Not Only Rock 'n' Roll Baby! | Jérôme Sans usato Musica Musica

It's Not Only Rock 'n' Roll Baby! | Jérôme Sans usato Musica Musica

On the occasion of the 33rd anniversary of the famed Benicassim/ Rock Werchter music festival, along with the new exhibition at the Palais des Beaux Arts in Brussels, this book explores the "unknown" visual side of some of the most popular faces of rock and pop bands, giving an insight into the genesis of their music. Most of the bands have linked contemporary art in their lyrics and songwriting and have engaged in productive crossovers. The book compiles the artworks of bands and musicians from the 70s until today, musicians for whom visual art is yet another string in their creative process. Featuring over 20 artists including: Brian Eno, Yoko Ono, Laurie Anderson, Patti Smith, the Residents, The Kills, Devendra Banhart, Anthony and the Johnsons, Chicks on Speed, Miss Kitten, Fischerspooner, Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Pete Doherty, David Byrne]].

Equine exercise physiology | David Marlin, Kathryn Nankervis usato Manualistica Piante Animali

Equine exercise physiology | David Marlin, Kathryn Nankervis usato Manualistica Piante Animali

Equine exercise physiology is an area that has been subject to major scientific advances over the last 30 years, largely due to the increased availability of high-speed treadmills and techniques for recording physiological function during exercise. Despite the scientific advances, many riders and trainers are still using little more than experience and intuition to train their horses. The aim of this book is to sort the fact from the fiction for the benefit of those involved in training, managing or working with horses, and to provide an up-to-date summary of the state of play in equine exercise physiology. Scientific theories are explained from first principles, with the assumption that the reader has no previous scientific background. The book is designed to save competitors and trainers a lot of time and effort trying to extract information in piecemeal fashion from a host of reference sources. For the first time, everything you need to know about exercising and training horses is here in one text.
