Practicality is in evidence some two centuries later not only in a device, a then-uncommon steam heating system installed in Harvard's first library building, but also in the title held by its devisor, Daniel Treadwell, Rumford Professor of Applications of Science to the Useful Arts. Though lengthy by modern standards, Professor Treadwell's title conveys the essence of this modest volume's intent. The periodical from which this collection of articles is drawn professes its purpose to be 'to inform its readers about information technology developments and services as they relate to Harvard...

ISBN: 9780809326327 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In his eighth and final annual message to Congress, Ulysses S. Grant reminded the nation that it was his "fortune or misfortune, to be called to the office of Chief Executive without any previous political training." The electoral crisis that dominated Grant's last months in office left little room for political error. On November 7, 1876, Democrat Samuel J. Tilden won the popular vote, but Republican Rutherford B. Hayes could claim the presidency by a single electoral vote if he captured all disputed electors from Florida, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Oregon. Uncertainty gave way to...

From Old Revelation to New: A Tradition-Historical and Redaction-Critical Study of Temporal Transitions in Prophetic Prediction: A Tradition-Historica
ISBN: 9780802806833 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 455 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. From old Revelation to new takes an important step beyond the studies by Robert Carroll and Michael Fishbane in exploring inner-biblical exegesis. Simon De Vries attempts to solve the problem of ideology and technique in the expansion of prophetic prediction by schools of redactors. By analyzing those prophetic predictions that employ temporal expressions as introductory transitions - expressions such as "in that day", "behold, days are coming", and "at the end of days" - De Vries demonstrates how futuristic expectation was expanded and reshaped within the prophetic collection toward an...

New Perspectives on the Civil War: Myths and Realities of the National Conflict
ISBN: 9780742521209 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As the American Civil War recedes into the past, popular fascination continues to rise. Once a matter that chiefly concerned veterans, separately organized North and South, who gathered to refight old battles and to memorialize the heroes and victims of war, the Civil War has gradually become part of a collective heritage. Issues raised by the war, including its causes and consequences, reverberate through contemporary society. Family and community connections with the war exist everywhere, as do battlefields, memorials, and other physical reminders of the conflict. We, as Americans, are...

Grant gave an address that was both inspiring and curiously bitter.

Yet he ended the speech on an almost petulant note: "I have been the subject of abuse and slander scarcely ever equaled in political history, which to-day I feel that I can afford to disregard in view of your...

Now, as president of the Mexican Southern Railroad, he emerged as a strong advocate of increased trade and investment. Appointed by President Chester A. Arthur to negotiate a commercial treaty, Grant spent most of January, 1883, at the capital, working with his friend and counterpart Matias Romero.

Success gave way to bitter failure when the Senate rejected the treaty, led...

Grant left Galena and headed east to stump for the Republican ticket. At rallies in New England, upstate New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York City, sometimes several times a day, the reticent Grant warmed to his role. Sounding a familiar postwar theme, he repeatedly condemned voter harassment in the South, asserting the right of "our fellow-citizens of African descent, ... to go to the polls, even though they are in the minority, and put in their ballot without being burned out of their homes, and without being threatened or...

Grant stated the obvious: "The condition of the Southern States is, unhappily, not such as all true patriotic citizens would like to see." Brutal attacks and political murders throughout the South prompted Grant to invoke the new Enforcement Act, ordering in troops and suspending the writ of habeas corpus. When fire swept through Chicago during 1871, Grant immediately telegraphed to General Philip H. Sheridan to "Render all the aid you can." When Illinois' governor charged federal interference, Grant replied: "The only thing... In his third annual message to the nation, Ulysses S.
