ABBOTT, PATRICK AIRSHIPS 32 PGS., SOFTBOUND 6 X 8 1/2 | |
|
Dirigible balloons, commonly known as airships, were first thought of in the late 18th century, but not until the invention of the internal combustion engine a hundred years later were they able to achieve controlled and directed flight. This book is a first of its kind study on airships, and includes informative sections on airship principles, the first airships, WWI, airships today, and more. It features numerous vintage black & white photos, detailed diagrams, and photographs of the more modern airships. Today the U.S. continues to build and use small blimps while new developments in technology and a belated recognition of the virtues of airships has allowed Britain to return to their manufacture, in which it now leads the world. This book is both a comprehensive and interesting read, and will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in aeronautics. Price: $8.95 |

ADAMS, ELIZABETH CHELSEA PORCELAIN: 157 COLOR, 69 B&W 10 1/4 " X 10", 208 | |
|
Some of the most delightful English porcelain ever made was manufactured in the middle of the 18th century at a factory in Chelsea set up by two Frenchmen, the jeweler Charles Gouyn and the silversmith Nicholas Sprimont. Sprimont's enterprise - and the skill of the craftsmen he employed - helped to establish English soft paste alonside the great European porclain manufactures of Meissen and Sevres. Elizabeth Adams charts the progress of Sprimont's venture and describes in detail the wares now known as Chelsea. Meticulous research into contemporary manuscripts and catalogues has enabled her to reconstruct the history of the Chelsea porcelain factory, from its setting up in 1744 to its final destruction on 1784, some fifteen years after Sprimont himself ceased to be associated with it. Chelsea collectors, English porcelain enthusiasts and lovers of beautiful objects will all appreciate this well-documented record of an art form that fascinates by its fragility, scarcity and brilliance. |

In this book, the civilians who lived through the battle of Gettysburg recount this pivotal event in the American Civil War in their own words. The eyewitness accounts, spanning from June 15, 1863, through Lincoln's address in November of that year to the throngs gathered to open the national cemetery on the battlefield, are compelling tales told by those literally trapped inside the lines of the two great, warring armies. Many of the leading characters are women of strong character coping with situations they had never anticipated and could not hope to prepare for. The interactions between the townsfolk and the soldiers are fascinating reading. Over 160 historical photographs and illustrations accompany the text. To the authors' knowledge, never before have some of these photographs been shown or the narratives of the civilians, literally cut off from the outside world by the war, been told so completely and in their own words. The stories are gleened from diaries, letters, newspaper articles, interviews, and books written by the civilians after the fact. No effort has been made to change any of their language for any reason. There was no need. In this book, certain myths are exploded and one of the most monumental moments in American history comes to life before the reader's eyes. Price: $39.95 |
