Excerpt:Peter and Paul Cathedral is the most celebrated work by Domenico Trezzini. Domenico Trezzini (ca. 1670-1734) was a Swiss Italian architect who elaborated the Petrine Baroque style of Russian architecture . Domenico was born in Astano, near Lugano , in the Italian -speaking Ticino (at that time a condominium of the Old Swiss Confederacy ). He probably studied in Rome . Subsequently, as he was working in Denmark , he was offered by Peter I of Russia , among other architects , to design buildings in the new Russian capital city, St. Petersburg . Since 1703, when the city was founded, he substantially contributed to its most representative buildings. The Peter and Paul Fortress with the Peter and Paul Cathedral , the Twelve Collegia Building (now the main building of Saint Petersburg University ) as well as Peter's Summer House count among his many achievements. He also helped found and design Kronstadt and the Alexander Nevsky Monastery . Domenico Trezzini was very important for another aspect of Russian architectural history: in founding a school based on the European model, he laid the foundations for the development of the Petrine Baroque . As a testimony of the cordial relationship that linked Domenico Trezzini with the Tsar , his son Pietro Antonio Trezzini (who also became a noted architect) had Peter I of Russia himself as a godfather.

Product Description

Johann Bernoulli is well known in the history of mechanics for his solution of the brachistochrone problem and for his first formulation of the principle of virtual works. However, his interests extend beyond to cover almost all areas of classical mechanics including rigid bodies motions, oscillations of pendula, impacts, motions of planets, and elastic beam deformation. Bernoulli is an acute observer of physical phenomena. His problems are always inspired by concrete examples, like the work of a crane, the manoeuvre of a rudder, the inflation of a sail.
