Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture, architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic operas, and more are also included.

The God Project (Narrator: Mel Foster, Director: Joyce Bean, Engineer: Melissa Coates): Something is happening to the children of Eastbury, Massachusetts... Something that causes healthy babies to turn cold in their cribs. Something that strikes at the heart of every parent's darkest fears. Something unexplained that is taking the children, one by one. Sally Montgomery has just lost her beautiful little baby girl. Lucy and Jim Corliss, bitterly divorced, have been reunited by the sudden disappearance of their son. They all know there must be a reason for the terror. But no one ever expected...The God Project.

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! John Blow(baptised 23 February 1649 - 1 October1708) was an English composer and organist. His pupils includedWilliam Croft and Henry Purcell. Blow was probably born at Newark-on-Trent inNottinghamshire. Although there is some speculation that he was bornat North Collingham, Nottinghamshire, the parish registersthere do not mention anyone named Blow, whereas those at Newark record thebaptisms of Blow and of his brother and sister, the marriage ofhis parents, and the burial of his father. Furthermore, the register ofLambeth degrees notes that in 1677, on taking his doctorate, he himselfdeclared on oath that his birthplace was 'the faithful borough of Newark'.His date of birth is not known, but he was baptised 23 February 1649 andwas likely born only a short while before. He became a chorister ofthe Chapel Royal, and distinguished himself by his proficiency inmusic. ... Read more
