Book Synopsis News, Business and Public Information by : Arthur der Weduwen
Download or read book News, Business and Public Information written by Arthur der Weduwen and published by Library of the Written Word. This book was released on 2020 with total page 667 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of newspaper advertising began in the seventeenth-century Low Countries. The newspaper publishers of the Dutch Republic were the first to embrace advertisements, decades before their peers in other news markets in Europe. In this survey, Arthur der Weduwen and Andrew Pettegree have brought together the first 6,000 advertisements placed in Dutch and Flemish newspapers between 1620 and 1675. Provided here in an English translation, and accompanied by seven indices, this work provides for the first time a complete overview of the development of newspaper advertising and its impact on the Dutch book trade, economy and society. In these evocative announcements, ranging from advertisement for library auctions, the publication of new books, pamphlets and maps to notices of crime, postal schedules or missing pets, the seventeenth century is brought to life. This survey offers a unique perspective on daily life, personal relationships and societal change in the Dutch Golden Age.

Book excerpt: Gathered in honor of John Michael Montias (1928–2005), the foremost scholar on Johannes Vermeer and a pioneer in the study of the socioeconomic dimensions of art, the essays in In His Milieu are an essential contribution to the study of the social functions of making, collecting, displaying, and donating art. The nearly forty essays here by—all internationally recognized experts in the fields of art history and the economics of art—are especially revealing about the Renaissance and Baroque eras and present new material on such artists as Rembrandt, Van Eyck, Rubens, and da Vinci.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How a Chinese pirate defeated European colonialists and won Taiwan during the seventeenth century During the seventeenth century, Holland created the world's most dynamic colonial empire, outcompeting the British and capturing Spanish and Portuguese colonies. Yet, in the Sino-Dutch War—Europe's first war with China—the Dutch met their match in a colorful Chinese warlord named Koxinga. Part samurai, part pirate, he led his generals to victory over the Dutch and captured one of their largest and richest colonies—Taiwan. How did he do it? Examining the strengths and weaknesses of European and Chinese military techniques during the period, Lost Colony provides a balanced new perspective on long-held assumptions about Western power, Chinese might, and the nature of war. It has traditionally been asserted that Europeans of the era possessed more advanced science, technology, and political structures than their Eastern counterparts, but historians have recently contested this view, arguing that many parts of Asia developed on pace with Europe until 1800. While Lost Colony shows that the Dutch did indeed possess a technological edge thanks to the Renaissance fort and the broadside sailing ship, that edge was neutralized by the formidable Chinese military leadership. Thanks to a rich heritage of ancient war wisdom, Koxinga and his generals outfoxed the Dutch at every turn. Exploring a period when the military balance between Europe and China was closer than at any other point in modern history, Lost Colony reassesses an important chapter in world history and offers valuable and surprising lessons for contemporary times.

Book Synopsis From Ghent to Aix by : Paul Arblaster
Download or read book From Ghent to Aix written by Paul Arblaster and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-06-10 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixteenth-century Brussels and Antwerp in combination formed the northern linchpin of an international communication network that covered Western and Central Europe. In the seventeenth century both cities saw the rise of newspapers that compare revealingly with those produced in Germany, the Dutch Republic, England and France. In From Ghent to Aix, Paul Arblaster examines the services that carried the news, the types of news publicized, and the relationship of these newspapers to Baroque Europe’s other methods of public communication, from drums and trumpets, ceremonies and sermons, to almanacs, pamphlets, pasquinades and newsletters. The merchant’s need for information and the government’s desire to influence opinion together opened up a space in which a new social force would take root: the media.

Book Synopsis Rembrandt's Enterprise by : Svetlana Alpers
Download or read book Rembrandt's Enterprise written by Svetlana Alpers and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on and furthering the enterprise of Rembrandt scholars, who have been reinterpreting the artist and his work over the past 25 years, Alpers presents new considerations about Rembrandt's handling of paint, his theatrical approach to his models, his use of his studio as an environment under his control, and his relationship to those who bought his work. Her study is timely in light of recent research showing that well-known works attributed to Rembrandt are by followers instead. Alpers developed her text from a lecture series, and the prose gains readability by retaining some of the flavor of a talk. Still, this will find its audience chiefly among scholars and specialists in the field. Kathryn W. Finkelstein, M.

Book Synopsis The Numerical Universe by : Anthony Morris
Download or read book The Numerical Universe written by Anthony Morris and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NB THIS IS THE BLACK & WHITE VERSION.The Numerical Universe sets out to show that there exists a primordial, numerical, geometric and musical structure to the Universe. The proposal is simply that there is only order in the universe; that there is no chaos and that we are not all here by virtue of some incredible stroke of luck. The universe is instead shown to be the effect produced by a perfectly balanced, always in equilibrium, numerical order, inherent to the decimal system of numbers 0 to 9.The book starts with a look at the numerical structure and how the decimal system of numbers work in specific pairs and groups, making use of modular arithmetic - the reader won't need any formal mathematical training to follow the arguments and analysis. In the second section there is analysis of the group of 20 amino acids which are common to all life and which reveal the canonical, numerical, geometric and ultimately musical biological template that pervades the created Universe.The final section of the book demonstrates how the Integer Partition Table of Numbers might well be the numerical algorithm used to create and structure the whole of the universe. Numbers are seen to organise themselves in such a way that they unfold as an elegant geometric integration to produce a holographic universe.Hard evidence of this ancient knowledge may be found in analysis of the Great Pyramid, Stonehenge, famous cathedrals like Wells and Chartres, and all the megalithic sites, that are shouting this numerical canon that it may never be lost. The theory offers extraordinary new insights into the central question of natural philosophy, the origin of the Fine Structure Constant, the force that essentially holds us and the universe together and that stops us from flying apart, and the famous number 137, that has so obsessed some of the greatest thinkers of the 20th Century.Enduring mysteries concerning Prime Numbers, Photosynthesis, Plato, Dante's 55 Stelle, the 153 Fish in the Bible, and the SATOR Square recovered from the ruins of Pompeii - all can be readily explained and understood by application of this number theory which can potentially project our learning and advancement like no theory yet conceived. This effort has pieced together the work of many great men and women and it is by standing upon their shoulders that this theory of everything can come to you at all. Otherwise, I have simply let intuition be my guide and have been rewarded by a flow of incredible synchronicity that has allowed me to progress the theory to this stage. Without claiming to have all the answers by any means the hope is that this work will provide the inspiration for the research of many others. It feels like I have opened a crack in a door that has been shut for a very long time.
