From October 6 through 14, 1829, in a small village just outside Liverpool, England, ten thousand spectators gathered to witness one of the most remarkable events of the Industrial Age: a battle among locomotives that became known as the Rainhill Trials. Five machines were entered in the competition: the horse-powered Cycloped attained a top speed of only five miles per hour, while Perseverence--which looked like a giant iron bottle standing upright atop four wagon wheels--creaked along at a walking pace. But the three-way race between Robert Stephenson's Rocket, Timothy...

A Practical Guide to Vertebrate Mechanics
ISBN: 9780521576734 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Against the backdrop of the Industrial Revolution, an extraordinary circle of fossilists struggled to make sense of a mysterious, prehistoric world--a world they had to piece together from the fossilized and often fragmentary remains of animals never before seen. In this transporting, seamlessly written book, Christopher McGowan takes us back to a time when geology and paleontology were as young and vibrant as genetic engineering is today. The nineteenth-century pioneers of these new disciplines were an eccentric lot, from different social classes and sexes, with a range of motivations in...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) William Carlos Williams' Collected Poems Volume I reissued as a Carcanet Classic.

The poems are printed in the order of original publication, starting with The Tempers (1913) and ending with Poems 1936-1939. Williams remains one of the most popular American poets of all time, Whitman's heir but with a voice...
