Charles Darwin's years as a student at the University of Cambridge were some of the most important and formative of his life. Thereafter he always felt a particular affection for Cambridge. For a time he even considered a Cambridge professorship as a career and sent three of his sons there to be educated. Unfortunately the remaining traces of what Darwin actually did and experienced in Cambridge have long remained undiscovered. Consequently his day-to-day life there has remained unknown and misunderstood. This book is based on new research, including newly discovered manuscripts and Darwin publications, and gathers together recollections of those who knew Darwin as a student. This book therefore reveals Darwin's time in Cambridge in unprecedented detail.

Описание: A Leonaur Original-First Time in Print The life of a nurse in the last days of the Raj Irene Green's book is a Leonaur first edition-never before in print. Irene was born in Agra, India the child of a European father (born in India to English parents) and a Eurasian (Portuguese/Indian) mother. Although she was of mixed race, unlike her sister who was darker complexioned, she had fair skin and hair. Born in 1906, Irene quickly realised that although she considered herself part of the British Raj and was European in appearance, as an Anglo-Indian she lived between two societies and cultures-she felt she was alienated from one society and was never quite unconditionally accepted by the other. The title of Irene's book takes its inspiration from this abiding fact and within its pages she explains how this impacted on her everyday life as she negotiated the racial prejudices of India in the first decades of the twentieth century. Her fascinating story, of course, has another aspect, for Irene grew to maturity and decided upon a career in nursing. While the issues surrounding her background remained ever present, she has left posterity an essential account, from a unique perspective, of British India at its zenith. A contract to nurse in Peshawar on the North-West Frontier brought her the 1930-31 Frontier Medal and her account of this part of her life makes gripping reading. Irene Green's story is a highly entertaining and compelling one that will be appreciated by all those interested in the last days of the Raj and the difficulties of the mixed race families of India. It is also a delightful story of a young woman's life, full of incident, anecdote, adventure and romance. Highly recommended. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.

Описание: FIFTY YEARS ON THE SPACE FRONTIER: Halo Orbits, Comets, Asteroids, and More Robert W. Farquhar Foreword by Roger-Maurice Bonnet An autobiographical account of one man's 50-year career in creating, selling, designing, and implementing deep-space missions. The book tells the story of how the author was able to achieve several important space "firsts" despite difficult technical, management, and programmatic hurdles. These firsts include the following: * First libration-point mission, ISEE-3 (1978) * First exploration of Earth's distant magnetotail, ISEE-3 (1983) * First comet encounter, ICE (1985) * First asteroid orbiter, NEAR Shoemaker (2000) * First landing on an asteroid, NEAR Shoemaker (2001) * First orbiter of Mercury, MESSENGER (2011) First flyby of Pluto/Charon, New Horizons (2015) * At the beginning of his career, the author was motivated by a driving ambition to design and implement the first mission to a libration point. This aspiration resulted in the placement of the ISEE-3 spacecraft into a "halo orbit" around the Sun-Earth L1 libration point. By successfully demonstrating the utility and practicality of libration-point orbits, ISEE-3 prepared the way for a number of follow-on missions including SOHO, ACE, MAP, Genesis, Herschel/Planck, and JWST. The author's advocacy of libration-point staging for human missions to the Moon and beyond is also discussed. The author also had a special interest in comets and asteroids. This interest led to several proposals for missions to these small bodies----some flown, others not. The NEAR Shoemaker mission to the asteroid Eros is described in some detail. Others mentioned include missions to Halley's comet, the ICE flyby of comet Giacobini-Zinner, a U.S.- Japanese proposal for a comet sample-return, the CONTOUR multi-comet flyby mission, and the Stardust-NExT flyby of comet Tempel-1.

Описание: Today we think of ukiyo-e - `the pictures of the floating world` - as masterpieces of Japanese art. Yet it is often said that ukiyo-e were little appreciated in their own time. Julie Nelson Davis debunks this myth and demonstrates that ukiyo-e was thoroughly appreciated as a field of artistic production, worthy of connoisseurship by contemporaries.
