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 Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.

Broadly covers the essentials
Good book for an overview, and covers a very broad range of construction and finish carpentry. Good value.The pictures are basic black and white but is clear enough. There isn't quite enough detail to single handedly do some of the more complicated jobs (eg: stairs) unless you have reasonable prior experience.

Gotta Love Mr. Spence
Once again it has the most extensive coverage for any homeowner. For the weekend warrior to the pros his books are that good. I wouldn't think of ever selling mine. If I ever had to get rid of it... I'd give it to someone I loved! ... Read more
