This book was released on 1750 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "London was shaken by an earthquake in 1759 and here Stukeley attempts to explain that the event was caused by electricity. Based upon studies made and published by Benjamin Franklin, who is mentioned on page 24, it is the natural conclusion that earthquakes ensue from contact of atmospheric electricity with the earth. References are made to famous earthquakes in history and the resulting damages. Of significance is the overlap between the natural causes of earthquakes and the religious sense of the judgement of God playing a role in these events" --

Book Synopsis In Search of Ancient Tsunamis by : James Goff
Download or read book In Search of Ancient Tsunamis written by James Goff and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the story of a journey. It begins in a small, slightly overfull office in Sydney, Australia and ends in the unremitting heat of the Atacama Desert coast in Chile. To get from A to B though is no straight line, it takes many geographical and anecdotal tangents. The journey is one of discovery. It describes my part in the emergence of a new and extremely violent science - unravelling the mysteries of past tsunamis. There are two sides to the story of every tsunami - the careful piecing together of the physical evidence for these catastrophic events and the patient assembly of the jigsaw puzzle that often reflects the less tangible signs, the human story. After all, the only reason we really care about tsunamis is because they catch us by surprise, destroy our coastal communities, and kill us. The past couple of decades have seen 1000s of unnecessary tsunami-related deaths but we continue to believe that we can control nature, control this beast. It is only when you delve into the past that you start to realise that not only have tsunamis been even bigger than we have experienced in living memory, but that they have also destroyed coastal communities, and just like today we never seem to truly learn from these experiences. In the absence of this huge back catalogue of human folly we continue to make the same mistakes. In this case the past is our key to the future -the more we know about the past, the better prepared we will be for the future. The trick is to know what you are looking for; and this is the start of that journey"--
Book Synopsis Writing local history by : John Beckett
Download or read book Writing local history written by John Beckett and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-19 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book looks at how local history developed from the antiquarian county studies of the sixteenth century through the growth of 'professional' history in the nineteenth century, to the recent past. Concentrating on the past sixty years, it looks at the opening of archive offices, the invigorating influence of family history, the impact of adult education and other forms of lifelong learning. The author considers the debates generated by academics, including the divergence of views over local and regional issues, and the importance of standards set by the Victoria County History (VCH). Also discussed is the fragmentation of the subject. The antiquarian tradition included various subject areas that are now separate disciplines, among them industrial archaeology, name studies, family, landscape and urban history. This is an authoritative account of how local history has come to be one of the most popular and productive intellectual pastimes in our modern society. Written by a practitioner who has spent more than twenty years teaching local history to undergraduates and M.A. students, as well as lecturing to local history societies, John Beckett is currently Director of the VCH. A remarkable book that will be of great interest to students and scholars of local history as well as amateur and professional genealogists.

Book Synopsis Martin Folkes (1690-1754) by : Anna Marie Roos
Download or read book Martin Folkes (1690-1754) written by Anna Marie Roos and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Folkes (1690-1754): Newtonian, Antiquary, Connoisseur is a cultural and intellectual biography of the only President of both the Royal Society and the Society of Antiquaries. Sir Isaac Newton's protégé, astronomer, mathematician, freemason, art connoisseur, Voltaire's friend and Hogarth's patron, his was an intellectually vibrant world. Folkes was possibly the best-connected natural philosopher and antiquary of his age, an epitome of Enlightenment sociability, and yet he was a surprisingly neglected figure, the long shadow of Newton eclipsing his brilliant disciple. A complex figure, Folkes edited Newton's posthumous works in biblical chronology, yet was a religious skeptic and one of the first members of the gentry to marry an actress. His interests were multidisciplinary, from his authorship of the first complete history of the English coinage, to works concerning ancient architecture, statistical probability, and astronomy. Rich archival material, including Folkes's travel diary, correspondence, and his library and art collections permit reconstruction through Folkes's eyes of what it was like to be a collector and patron, a Masonic freethinker, and antiquarian and virtuoso in the days before 'science' became sub-specialised. Folkes's virtuosic sensibility and possible role in the unification of the Society of Antiquaries and the Royal Society tells against the historiographical assumption that this was the age in which the 'two cultures' of the humanities and sciences split apart, never to be reunited. In Georgian England, antiquarianism and 'science' were considered largely part of the same endeavour.
