Описание: Rarely do books have such a great influence on a genre as Lest Darkness Fall has had on science fiction. Frequently quoted as one of the 'favorite' books of many of masters of the field, this book by L. Sprague de Camp helped establish alternate-history as solid sub-genre of science fiction.

An indication of the influence and longevity of the book is by the number of best-selling writers who have written stories in direct response to, or influenced by, Lest Darkness Fall. This volume includes three such stories by Frederik Pohl, David Drake and S. M. Stirling written over a period of forty-three years--a testament to the timelessness of the book.

Similar, thematically, to Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, the book tells the tale of Martin Padway who, as he is walking around in modern Rome, is suddenly transported though time to 6th Century Rome.

Once in ancient Rome, Padway (now Martinus Paduei Quastor) embarks on an ambitious project of single-handedly changing history.

L. Sprague de Camp was a student of history (and the author of a number of popular works on the subject). In Lest Darkness Fall he combines his extensive knowledge of the workings of ancient Rome with his extraordinary imagination to create one of the best books of time travel ever written.

This volume also includes an afterword by Alexei and Cory Panshin, adapted from their Hugo-winning book on science fiction, The World Beyond the Hill.

Описание: It is not within the province of this treatise to teach the Art of Bookkeeping. Skill in that art is attained by practice, either in recording actual transactions in the counting room or those, simulating actuality, which are prepared for practice in the school or in the many excellent manuals of instruction. But facility in the processes of an establisht system will not satisfy the inquiring mind of one who has gone thus far; he will desire at a proper stage of his development to know the scientific basis of all systems, the wherefore as well as the how. When the subject is taken up at the collegiate or university stage, it is especially fitting that the science of accounts be unfolded concurrently with thoro drill in the art which depends' upon it.As a branch of mathematical and classificatory science, the principles of accountancy may be determined by a priori reasoning, and do not depend upon the customs and traditions which surround the art. I have endeavored to set forth these principles simply and naturally without resorting to fictitious modes of presentation, but adhering to the fundamental equations and their sub-equations.I hope that my work may be of some utility to the profession of public accountants in the training of their assistants, as, even in routine-matters, the best work is done by those who understand the theory and the reason of what they are doing. To business managers who have not been practical bookkeepers, it may be that I may throw some light on the methods in use and perhaps point out where they may be made more effective.I had at one time intended to extend the book by adding to the twenty-one chapters here given relating to Accounts in General, a Part II on Accounts in Particular, in which should be taken up all the principal forms of account with various suggestions as to handling them. I found however that the task would reach encyclopedic proportions if I treated each type of account with the degree of thoroness which has been given to Cost Accounts by several authors and to Investment Accounts in my work on "The Accountancy of Investment." I have therefore contented myself with an Appendix, containing some Monographs on a few very essential accounts.I am conscious that the work will deserve and receive severe scrutiny as it is the product of over thirty years' handling of accounts in all grades of service and of six years' teaching the subject in the School of Commerce, Finance and Accounts of New York University.

Описание:

Mothers, daughters, grandmothers and grand daughters, this is the tale of my story as far back as I could confidently piece it together. My maternal family history story starts with Grandma HUSTON who was born in 1830 and takes us through the daughters and grand daughters, eight generations, spanning more than 170 years.
The inspiration to write my family history came from a little hand written trip journal I found in a cardboard box of treasures. My Great Grandma Lucy had kept a daily log of a trip to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1937. She probably didn't realize at the time, what a snapshot of life she was creating. She noted meals and time spent visiting with friends, having her hair waved and going to town to see movie classics like the "Singing Marine". The Golden Gate Bridge was only 2 months old when they drove across it in July of 1937.
This discovery convinced me to research and recount our legacy before these stories were completely lost to time. My research since 2003 has included visiting the family origins in Iowa, Missouri, and Southern California, small libraries and court houses scattered across the mid-west, muddy back roads, some overgrown cemeteries, and a family reunion with long lost cousins. Some of my sources are not noted in this story but I have many copies of original documents in my little white filing box. Nothing about our history is particularly glamorous. Nobody was rich or famous. We are strong women with a somewhat independent spirt. We wore pants during a time most women only worn skirts.
