The protagonists of the volume are some of the most celebrated and fabulous treasures from throughout the world; the gold of the temples of antiquity; the collections of precious objects buried as funerary caches; the sacred splendor of the gems conserved in the medieval cathedrals; the princely collections of marvels from the modern age; and the royal insignia and the fabulous jewels of the ruling houses of Europe, Asia and the Americas. This book reveals how in all ages and all cultures gold is the undisputed prince of metals, the only material capable of clearly expressing the ineffable, the absolute and the concept of incorruptibility, a concept seized upon by potentates the world over to illuminate their sacred power."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Science and Destabilization in the Modern American Gothic by : David Oakes
Download or read book Science and Destabilization in the Modern American Gothic written by David Oakes and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2000-06-30 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writers of Gothic literature reflect in their works the concerns and fears of the times in which they were created, not only making these tales cultural artifacts of a previous time, but also showing how some sources of dread remain constant over the passage of centuries. This book examines how H.P. Lovecraft, Richard Matheson, and Stephen King have used science and technology in their modern Gothic works to destabilize the reader; that is, to create the sense of fear and dread at the heart of the Gothic genre. In doing so, these works force readers to ask disturbing questions about the society around them and to challenge long-accepted notions and belief systems.
Download or read book Forensic Science written by Max M. Houck and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2007-03-30 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Poe's Dupin and Doyle's Holmes to the television hits Quincy and CSI, the public's fascination with science employed to solve crimes continues and grows. But this understanding of how science works in the forensic laboratory is filtered through the fictional worlds of books and television-how is science really used to fight crime? What techniques are used to catch criminals and free the innocent? Forensic scientists work with police, investigators, medical personnel, attorneys, and others to uphold justice, but their methods are often misunderstood, overestimated, underestimated, revered, or disputed. Here, the author answers many common questions about forensic science: How is the science conducted and by whom? What are the real limits, and real benefits, of forensic science? What new techniques are emerging to catch 21st Century criminals? Readers are treated to an insider's overview of the realties of forensic science. Forensic Science: Modern Methods of Solving Crime covers the basic concepts of forensic science and how it assists in criminal investigations. Starting with a brief history of forensic science, from its early days in Europe to the modern advances of today, the book describes each method and presents cases that highlight the applications of the methods. Houck profiles pioneers in forensic science, offers an overview of such forensic topics as DNA, fibers, fingerprints, and firearms, takes readers through the collection and processing of evidence, and uses frequent examples and anecdotes to illustrate all the major areas of forensic science. This introduction to the field is a useful starting point for anyone wishing to learn more about the real world of forensic science.
