Product Description
Author Conal Condren looks at the writing career of Dr. John Arbuthnot (1667-1735), a successful and enlightened physician, mathematician, scientist, musician, and, most famously, a satirist. Arbuthnot, together with friends Swift, Pope, and Gray, formed the Scriblerian Club, a rare meeting of minds bent on satirizing and exposing what they saw as false learning and intellectual pretension. ...

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.
Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here.

Excerpt: Harriet Arbuthnot (10 September 1793 2 August 1834) was an early 19th century English diarist, social observer and political hostess on behalf of the Tory party. During the 1820s she was the "closest woman friend" of the hero of Waterloo and British Prime Minister, the 1st Duke of Wellington. She maintained a long correspondence and association with the Duke, all of which she recorded in her diaries, which are consequently extensively used in all authoritative biographies of the Duke of Wellington.

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : James Clerk Maxwell (13 juin 1831 à Édimbourg, en Écosse - 5 novembre 1879) est un physicien et mathématicien écossais. Il est principalement connu pour avoir unifié en un seul ensemble d'équations, les équations de Maxwell, l'électricité, le magnétisme et l'induction, en incluant une importante modification du théorème d'Ampère. Ce fut à l'époque le modèle le plus unifié de l'électromagnétisme. Il est également célèbre pour avoir interprété, dans un article en quatre parties publié dans Philosophical Magazine intitulé On Physical Lines of Force, la lumière comme étant un phénomène électromagnétique en s'appuyant sur les travaux de Michael Faraday. Il a notamment démontré que les champs électriques et magnétiques se propagent dans l'espace sous la forme d'une onde et à la vitesse de la lumière. Ces deux découvertes permirent d'importants travaux ultérieurs notamment en relativité restreinte et en mécanique quantique. Il a également développé la distribution de Maxwell, une méthode statistique de description de la théorie cinétique des gaz. Maxwell est considéré par de nombreux physiciens comme le scientifique du siècle ayant eu le plus d'influence au siècle. Ses contributions à la science sont considérées par certains comme aussi importantes que celles d'Isaac Newton ou d'Albert Einstein...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Alexis Claude Clairaut , né le 13 mai 1713 à Paris où il est mort le 17 mai 1765, est un mathématicien français. Il est le second d'une fratrie de vingt et un enfants. Son père, Jean-Baptiste Clairaut (1680-1766), enseignait les mathématiques. Il est instruit par lui en cette matière, apprenant à lire dans les Éléments d'Euclide. Il se montre d'une précocité telle qu'à l'âge de douze ans il écrit un mémoire sur quatre courbes géométriques. À treize ans, il lit devant l'Académie des sciences un compte rendu des propriétés de quatre courbes qu'il avait découvertes. À seize ans seulement, il finit un traité intitulé Recherches sur les courbes à double courbure qui, lors de sa publication en 1731, entraîne son admission à l'Académie des sciences alors qu'il n'avait pas l'âge légal. En 1731, il obtient une démonstration du fait remarquable dû à Newton que toutes les courbes du troisième ordre sont des projections de cinq paraboles particulières. Il devient membre de la Royal Society le 27 octobre 1737. En 1736, avec Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis, il participe à l'expédition en Laponie dont l'objet est d'estimer la longueur d'un degré de méridien. À son retour, il publie un traité Théorie de la figure de la terre (1743), où il démontre le théorème, connu sous le nom de « théorème de Clairaut », qui relie l'aplatissement géométrique f à la surface d'un ellipsoïde en rotation à une quantité cinétique (le facteur ...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Chapters: United Kingdom Articles Needing Attention, Wikiproject Scotland, British Open Squash Championships, John Arbuthnot, Robert Arbuthnot. Excerpt: The British Open Squash Championships is the oldest and most established tournament in the game of squash. It is widely considered to be one of the two most prestigious tournaments in the game, alongside the World Open (prior to the establishment of the World Open in the 1970s, the British Open was generally considered to be the de facto world championship of the sport.) The British Open Squash Championships are now often referred to as being the "Wimbledon of Squash". Whilst there had been a professional men's championship for some years, the 'open' men's championship (for both professionals and amateurs) was not inaugurated until 1930. Charles Read, British professional champion for many years, was designated the first open title holder. Would-be challengers were required to demonstrate they were capable of mounting a competent challenge as well as guaranteeing a minimum 'purse' (prize money) of £100 (which comprised gate-takings and players' 'subscriptions'). Read subsequently played the first final as the 'defending champion' against challenger Don Butcher in December 1930, but lost in home and away legs. The men's Championship maintained this 'challenge' system format until 1947, replacing it with the current 'knockout' system in 1948. The ladies' championships commenced in 1922 as an amateur event and remained so until 1974. In the inaugural event, Joyce Cave defeated her sister Nancy Cave in the final. Both Championships have been played continuously since inception, with the exception of the men's championship in 1934 (when no challenger to F.D. Amr Bey emerged) and during World War 2. The me...

Product Description
Dr John Arbuthnot (1667-1735) influenced the social, literary, political, medical and scientific communities of eighteenth-century Britain. He is often presented as a man of almost supernatural goodness, but it is worth remembering that he was born into, and lived his early years, in the ferocious religious and political struggles of late-seventeenth-century Scotland, that culminated in 1707 in the Union of the Scottish and English parliaments. After the death of his father, Arbuthnot moved to England, where as early as 1703 he was following a career as one of the royal physicians at the court of Queen Anne. In 1709 he was one of the Physicians-in-Orinary, and thus one of the Royal Household. Outside of this role he became known in London as a wit, a mathematician and a writer. It is the few, but brilliant, political writings of his English career - including the collection of five pamphlets featuring the character, John Bull - that form the crux of this biography. ...
