My Inventions and Other Writings - Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla's life is as interesting for his idiosyncrasy as it is for his brilliance. The inventor's mind knew no limits and his incredible sense of possibility rings through his memoir. This authorative volume of My Inventions includes three additional articles by Tesla which were published in The Electrical Experimenter magazine and represent the breadth of his interests: 'Tesla would pour Lightning from Airships to Consume Foe' (1916), 'The Action of The Eye' (1893), 'The Problem of Increasing Human Energy' (1900). Samantha Hunt, author of The Invention of Everything Else, contributes an introduction to Tesla's works, separating fact from fiction (there are published works out there that attest Tesla was an alien), while maintaining the natural awe of Tesla's eccentric existence.

A definitive collection of stories from the unrivaled master of twentieth-century horror in a Penguin Classics Deluxe edition with cover art by Travis LouieFrequently imitated and widely influential, Howard Philips Lovecraft reinvented the horror genre in the 1920s, discarding ghosts and witches and instead envisioning mankind as a tiny outpost of dwindling sanity in a chaotic and malevolent universe.

Nikola Tesla and the Electrical Future - Iwan Rhys Morus

''[This] crisply succinct, beautifully synthesized study brings to life Tesla, his achievements and failures...and the hopeful thrum of an era before world wars.'' - NatureNikola Tesla is one of the most enigmatic, curious and controversial figures in the history of science. An electrical pioneer as influential in his own way as Thomas Edison, he embodied the aspirations and paradoxes of an age of innovation that seemed to have the future firmly in its grasp. In an era that saw the spread of power networks and wireless telegraphy, the discovery of X-rays, and the birth of powered flight, Tesla made himself synonymous with the electrical future under construction but opinion was often divided as to whether he was a visionary, a charlatan, or a fool. Iwan Rhys Morus examines Tesla''s life in the context of the extraordinary times in which he lived and worked, colourfully evoking an age in which anything seemed possible, from capturing the full energy of Niagara to communicating with Mars. Shattering the myth of the ''man out of time'', Morus demonstrates that Tesla was in all ways a product of his era, and shows how the popular image of the inventor-as-maverick-outsider was deliberately crafted by Tesla - ...

Unwilling to marry without both love and money, Lily becomes vulnerable to gossip.

Wharton''s story of Undine Spragg affords us a detailed glimpse of the interior décor of upper-class America and its nouveau riche.

Nikola Tesla - Mac Seifer

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), geniální Srb, jeden z nejvýznamnějších vědců a vynálezců všech dob se do dějin se zapsal především svými objevy a vynálezy, jež přímo či nepřímo souvisely s využitím elektrické energie a elektromagnetismu, zejména svým vynálezem indukčního motoru, vícefázového systému střídavého proudu, dálkového ovládání, robotiky a bezdrátové komunikace. Po svém vítězství ve "válce proudů", kdy ve sporu s Thomasem Edisonem prokázal efektivnost a bezpečnost střídavého proudu, se stal všeobecně uznávaným a ceněným odborníkem. Mezi jeho nejslavnější projekty se řadila laboratoř v Colorado Springs a především Wardenclyffská věž na Long Islandu - financovaná miliardářem J. P. Morganem, jenž však posléze přestal projekt podporovat. Pro Teslu to byla největší životní tragédie - a možná i pro svět, neboť se již nikdo nedozvěděl, co svět v nedokončené stavbě tohoto nepředstavitelně výkonného a tajuplného vysílače ztratil. Autor knihy odhaluje Teslovu skutečnou roli ve vývoji četných vynálezů. Teslovu činnost chronologicky uspořádal a uvedl řadu záležitostí na pravou míru. Jeho práce se stala vzorem pro zkoumání osobnosti Nikoly Tesly nezaujatou formou, založenou na ověřených důkazech.

Since he was a young boy growing up in the Austrian Empire, Nikola was fascinated by science and numbers. His teachers knew he had a brilliant mind, but Nikola's irregular routines and fondness for playing cards meant that he was kicked out of school before he could finish his exams. However, after working for a spell at the Budapest Telephone Exchange, where he made several clever innovations to their electrical systems, he managed to get a job with Edison Machine Works in New York, U.S.A. In the United States, Tesla's inquisitive nature and ingenious mind spurred him on to keep exploring electricity, and he came up with several groundbreaking inventions during this time, including breakthroughs in alternating current and wireless remote controls.

The Letters, Writings, and Speeches of Oliver Cromwell

This is the first truly scholarly edition of all the recorded writings and recorded speech acts of Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) and consists of more than 1,000 texts. Oliver Cromwell, one of Britain''s greatest and most controversial generals, rose from lowly provincial origins to preside over the trial and execution of a king, to undertake the most complete conquest of Ireland and Scotland ever achieved, and to spend the last five years of his life as head of state, as Lord Protector of Britain and Ireland. A passionate speaker who claimed to be called by God to overthrow tyranny in church and state, and a powerful advocate for a very broad religious liberty and equality, his speeches and letters reveal the public and the private man more completely than for almost any other early modern political leader. This new edition not only publishes a number of new items, but also edits a large number from recovered originals not previously edited. Every item has its own detailed introduction explaining the status of the text and its context or contexts, but also very full annotation - identifying for example almost every person, place and event mentioned in the text and also - where ...

Seifer, 424 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Když Marc Seifer psal v roce 1996 knihu Nikola Tesla: vizionář – génius – čaroděj (Triton, 2007), snažil se odhalit fakta o Teslově roli ve vývoji četných vynálezů (zejména vynálezu indukčního motoru, vícefázového systému střídavého proudu, dálkového ovládání, robotiky a bezdrátové komunikace), neboť se v tomto ohledu šířila spousta mylných informací. Dokonce ještě dodnes přetrvává mýtus o tom, že Tesla nebyl schopen porozumět Maxwellovým rovnicím popisujícím elektromagnetické pole, přestože jeho zápisníky, jako např. Colorado Springs Notes 1899–1900 , jsou plné neuvěřitelně složitých rovnic. Od chvíle, kdy Marc Seifer ve své knize uvedl Teslův životopis přísně chronologicky a ocitoval všechny prameny, se mylné informace o tomto vynálezci začínají vytrácet. V této knize se autor zabývá Teslovým životem během obou světových válek. Velkou výhodou bylo, že FBI a CIA nedávno odtajnily...

Selected Writings of Maureen O’Hara on the Art, Science, and Hope of Humanism

This book presents the work of the eminent British-American psychologist, Maureen OÂ’Hara. It explores the trajectory of humanistic psychology over the last few decades, providing a link between its original proponents, notably Carl Rogers, and its contemporary manifestations.The text reproduces 18 of OÂ’HaraÂ’s original papers arranged in six parts, each of which reflect a significant area in which she has contributed her rigorous analysis and creative thinking, i.e., the person-centred approach, humanistic psychology, third force science, client-centred therapy, psychology futures, and education. A unique feature of the book is a series of dialogues about OÂ’HaraÂ’s contributions in each of these areas with the bookÂ’s editor, Keith Tudor. The dialogues reveal not only OÂ’HaraÂ’s reflections on and further thinking about each area of her contributions, but also how prescient her analysis was, and how contemporary and relevant her thinking still is.Bringing together a collection of OÂ’HaraÂ’s works to a broader audience, this book will be of interest to humanistic psychologists and psychotherapists, as well as those studying and/or training in this field.

Correspondence & Occasional Writings of Francis Hutcheson - Francis Hutcheson

In light of the fact that Francis Hutcheson (1694-1746) was one of the most influential philosophers of the Scottish Enlightenment, it is remarkable that there has never been an edition of his correspondence. Hutcheson''s epistolary offerings include letters published in journals in England, Ireland, and the Netherlands. These letters and occasional writings exhibit his polemical skills in controversy, his differences with Presbyterian orthodoxy, his preoccupation with religious and intellectual liberty, and his loyalty and lasting affection for his friends. Hutcheson engaged in extensive public polemics, not least to defend his major works but also to promote other causes. These incidental writings provide valuable insight into Hutcheson''s more substantial treatises. His private correspondence and such documents as his will and the declaration he made upon becoming a professor at the University of Glasgow give the reader an impression of Hutcheson''s personality and his various life experiences.

Madame Bovary (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) - Gustave Flaubert

A major new translation of one of the most popular classics of all time, now in a gorgeous deluxe edition. Emma Bovary is beautiful and bored, trapped in her marriage to a mediocre doctor and stifled by the banality of provincial life. An ardent reader of sentimental novels, she longs for passion and seeks escape in fantasies of high romance, in voracious spending and, eventually, in adultery. But even her affairs bring her disappointment and the consequences are devastating. Flaubert''s erotically charged and psychologically acute portrayal of Emma Bovary caused a moral outcry on its publication in 1857. It was deemed so lifelike that many women claimed they were the model for his heroine; but Flaubert insisted: ''Madame Bovary, c''est moi''.

Out of Bounds – The Collected Writings of Marcia Tucker - Alicia Ritson, Lisa Phillips, Kate Wiener, Johanna Burton

Jointly published by the Getty Research Institute and the New Museum. The first anthology to assemble the writings of the groundbreaking art historian, critic, and curator Marcia Tucker. These influential, hard-to-obtain texts—many of which have never before been published—by Marcia Tucker, founding director of New York’s New Museum, showcase her lifelong commitment to pushing the boundaries of curatorial practice and writing while rethinking inherited structures of power within and outside the museum. The volume brings together the only comprehensive bibliography of Tucker’s writing and highlights her critical attention to art’s relationship to broader culture and politics.  The book is divided into three sections: monographic texts on a selection of the visionary artists whom Tucker championed, among them Bruce Nauman, Joan Mitchell, Richard Tuttle, and Andres Serrano; exhibition essays from some of the formative group shows she organized, such as Anti-Illusion: Procedures/Materials (1969) and Bad Girls (1994), which expanded the canons of curating and art history; and other critical works, including lectures, that interrogated museum practice, inequities of the art world, and institutional responsibility. These texts attest to Tucker’s tireless pursuit of questions related to difference, marginalization, access, and ethics, illuminating her significant impact on contemporary art discourse in her ...
