A good collection by a historic artist
This book is a collection of pencil drawings by Thomas Moran, the man who first brought images of John Wesley Powell's famous 1869 trip down the Colorado River to the American public.
Each group of photos is accompanied by an article written by a contemporary of Moran's, and all are historically valuable, and often interesting.
The book contains sections on the Mountain West, Yellowstone, the Rocky Mountains, the Colorado River, the Sierras, and Yosemite.
The drawing of the now-lost Glen Canyon is my very favorite image of that place, and is completely unlike any other extant drawing or photograph: it's dark and gloomy, frightening even, nothing like the colorful place depicted in so many other accounts.For that drawing alone, and for the drawings of the Grand Canyon, this book is well worth the price.
It's weird though, this book is a paperback, and yet it comes with a dust jacket.... ... Read more

Adopting this concise statement as a satisfactory working def1nition, it will be our purpose to determine the extent, in theory and practice, of this " discretionary authority " in so far as we may be able to do so within the limits of a brief discussion. We are sometimes inclined to think that the power of an hereditary monarch must of necessity be very extensive ; as a matter of fact, however, the actual participation of the King in the government of England is comparatively slight, —almost insignif1cant. Neither has the power of the Crown remained the same at all times in the history of England ; on the contrary, it has been a very changeable quantity. A consideration of the sources and history of the royal prerogative will not, however, constitute any considerable part of our discussion. Our present concern is with the authority of the Crown as it now exists.The year 1688 marks an epoch in the history of the royal prerogative. " In outer seeming," says John R. Green in his " Short History of the English People," " the Revolution of 1688 had only transferred the sovereignty over England from James to William and Mary. In actual fact, it was transferring the sovereignty from the King to the House of Commons." The House of ... ... Read more

Product Description
This special issue contains essays regarding the CHI '95 conference, which featured a panel titled, Discount or Disservice? Discount Usability Analysis: Evaluation at a Bargain Price or Simply Damaged Merchandise? Wayne Gray, who organized the panel, presented a controversial critique of studies that had evaluated various usability evaluation methods (UEMs). The level of interest in this discussion led Gray to propose a review article that dealt with the issues in a more systematic fashion. The resulting essay, written by Gray and his collaborator Marilyn Salzman, conducted an in-depth review of a series of influential studies that used experimental methods to compare a variety of UEMs. Gray and Salzman's analysis was framed using Cook and Campbell's (1979) well-known discussion of various forms of validity. They used this to evaluate numerous details of these comparative studies, and they concluded that the studies fell short on the criteria by which good experimental studies are designed and interpreted.
