Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is the result of a study in which the authors identified all of the American women who earned PhD's in mathematics before 1940, and collected extensive biographical and bibliographical information about each of them. By reconstructing as complete a picture as possible of this group of women, Green and LaDuke reveal insights into the larger scientific and cultural communities in which they lived and worked." "The book contains an extended introductory essay, as well as biographical entries for each of the 228 women in the study. The authors examine family backgrounds, education, careers, and other professional activities. They show that there were many more women earning PhD's in mathematics before 1940 than is commonly thought." "The material will be of interest to researchers, teachers, and students in mathematics, history of mathematics, history of science, women's studies, and sociology."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Essays on Art and Language by : Charles Harrison
Download or read book Essays on Art and Language written by Charles Harrison and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2003-09-12 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical and theoretical essays by a long-time participant in the Art & Language movement. These essays by art historian and critic Charles Harrison are based on the premise that making art and talking about art are related enterprises. They are written from the point of view of Art & Language, the artistic movement based in England—and briefly in the United States—with which Harrison has been associated for thirty years. Harrison uses the work of Art & Language as a central case study to discuss developments in art from the 1950s through the 1980s. According to Harrison, the strongest motivation for writing about art is that it brings us closer to that which is other than ourselves. In seeing how a work is done, we learn about its achieved identity: we see, for example, that a drip on a Pollock is integral to its technical character, whereas a drip on a Mondrian would not be. Throughout the book, Harrison uses specific examples to address a range of questions about the history, theory, and making of modern art—questions about the conditions of its making and the nature of its public, about the problems and priorities of criticism, and about the relations between interpretation and judgment.

Book Synopsis Women Writers and Old Age in Great Britain, 1750-1850 by : Devoney Looser
Download or read book Women Writers and Old Age in Great Britain, 1750-1850 written by Devoney Looser and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2008-08-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking study explores the later lives and late-life writings of more than two dozen British women authors active during the long eighteenth century. Drawing on biographical materials, literary texts, and reception histories, Devoney Looser finds that far from fading into moribund old age, female literary greats such as Anna Letitia Barbauld, Frances Burney, Maria Edgeworth, Catharine Macaulay, Hester Lynch Piozzi, and Jane Porter toiled for decades after they achieved acclaim -- despite seemingly concerted attempts by literary gatekeepers to marginalize their later contributions. Though these remarkable women wrote and published well into old age, Looser sees in their late careers the necessity of choosing among several different paths. These included receding into the background as authors of "classics," adapting to grandmotherly standards of behavior, attempting to reshape masculinized conceptions of aged wisdom, or trying to create entirely new categories for older women writers. In assessing how these writers affected and were affected by the culture in which they lived, and in examining their varied reactions to the prospect of aging, Looser constructs careful portraits of each of her Subjects and explains why many turned toward retrospection in their later works. In illuminating the powerful and often poorly recognized legacy of the British women writers who spurred a marketplace revolution in their earlier years only to find unanticipated barriers to acceptance in later life, Looser opens up new scholarly territory in the burgeoning field of feminist age studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Ready Reckoning: Or, Mental and Practical Arithmetic, Reduced to a System, and Published for the Public of Canada; Being Particularly Adapted for Men of Business, as Well as for Schools The most unthinking, as well as the most prejudiced, must be struck with the fact, that the period in which we live is extraordinary and momentous. Amongst the civilized masses of Europe, an unparalleled revolution is at work; they have awoke from that ignorance in which they' had slept for ages, and have sprung up in their new character of thinking beings, qualified to enquire and to discuss, and despising both the despotism' and the bigotry that would prohibit or impede their improvement. The intellectual spirit is moving upon the chaos of minds which ignorance and necessity have thrown into collision and confusion, and the result will be a new Creation. At no period of history has there been so great a devel opement of the human faculties as there is in our own time; and the cause of the present height of mental powers is well worthy the study of the philosopher. But a few centuries ago, a learned man was gazed at as a miracle, and ignorance was so common, that it passed unheeded; but in the present day learned men are so numerous, that only the most talented geniuses are at all conspicuous in society; and to be ignorant is to be despised. That mid night of ignorance which enveloped the human intellect has now passed away, and the bright orb of science, which at intervals sheds its feeble rays through the gloomy darkness of mental degradation, and was often extinguished by ignorance and superstition, has at length burst forth a quenchless light, and spreads its bright effulgence through nations. Those who have encountered the tedious process of Arithmetic, and acquired a know ledge of the principles of the art, are best aware of the difficulties the student has to conquer. There is nothing so discouraging in Arithmetic, or that has tended so much to retard the progress of the learner, as that of fixing in the mind, by the common exercise of memory, those tables of cramp'd and unconnected sentences and subjects, with which the art is so much burdened. There is not, perhaps, in the whole range of our acquirements, any thing more difficult to be remembered; there is nothing in them that we can embody; they, in them selves, form no point of association that the mind can cling to; but are; as a writer happily observes, like grains of sand that have no coherence.
