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.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

The Knot Handbook is an essential guide to 50 knots and their uses. A fresh redesign of the bestselling The Knot Handbook, this book is an old favourite of a classic craft that is now being re-imagined for new and old readers alike. This book shows readers how to tie 50 knots. Some have been chosen for their fame, some for their beauty, and some because they are knots that everyone should know how to tie. On every great theme, there are always possible variations, and, as the text makes clear, from time to time people come up with new effective methods of tying. Some of us may be destined to create knots that will bear our names for eternity, but first we need to study the time-honoured techniques: an intricate art that has been practised since before poetry or painting were dreamt of, which can’t be mastered in five minutes. Many of the knots featured are strongly associated with – and probably originated – from sailing, but even the saltiest of them have extensive applications on land: adhesive tape and Velcro have their uses, but they have not rendered knots redundant; no technological advance ever will. Knots are classified by their areas of use: climbing, boating, scouting, camping, arborist, rescue, fishing, household, archery, general, equestrian, livestock, indicated by colour coded symbols.

This unique book, winner of the Irwin Award for "Best Historical Portrayal of 2016", traces the history of West Coast television from its infancy and centers on one of its foremost pioneers, Klaus Landsberg. Born in Germany, Landsberg fled Nazi oppression in 1937 and his "passport to freedom" to the United States was an invention of high value to the Allied war effort. As a new immigrant, Landsberg found work with NBC and RCA as the company debuted television at the 1939 New York World's Fair. He later went on to achieve many firsts in the fledgling industry after founding Paramount Pictures' experimental television station W6XYZ in Hollywood, that later became KTLA, the first commercial TV station west of the Mississippi. In the early days of television, Landsberg and his "dream team" of people in front of and behind the cameras helped invent a whole new medium of communication and entertainment. Everything was live and there were no do-overs. Known as the "golden boy" of television, he discovered an amazing roster of stars from wrestler "Gorgeous George" to bandleader Lawrence Welk. He realized early on that television could turn its viewers into eyewitnesses at major news events and began hauling his cameras to the places where stories were breaking. He set the standard for the long-form live news coverage that we take for granted today. When the U. S. government gave permission for the press to cover an early atom bomb test in the Nevada desert, Landsberg pushed for the chance to televise it live. Others said it couldn't be done...that it was impossible given the state of the early television art...but Klaus Landsberg didn't listen to the naysayers and pulled off the broadcast by hauling bulky electronic equipment to the tops of mountains and setting up a chain of relay stations. When the bomb went off, viewers across the country saw it, live. Told from the vantage point of longtime journalist Evelyn De Wolfe, Landsberg's first wife, this is an intimate portrait of an engineering genius and showman who was part Edison, part P. T. Barnum. George Lewis, a veteran of 42 years with NBC News who started his career as a war correspondent in Vietnam, assisted Ms. De Wolfe. Most histories of television have concentrated on the early efforts of the broadcast networks in New York. This book offers a fresh perspective on the landmark contributions of a West Coast pioneer who did so much to shape television as we know it today.

Massive Resistance is a compelling account of the white segregationist opposition to the US civil rights movement from the late 1940s to the mid-1960s. It provides vivid insights into what sparked the confrontations in US society during the run-up to the major civil rights laws that transformed America's social and political landscape. George Lewis has written a comprehensive overview of this controversial era of US history using his own research and interpretation, as well as new work by other experts in the field. The book concentrates on the political complexities of a campaign rooted in the white South that was intent on forestalling the march to racial equality. Themes covered include a white supremacist reading of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence; regional arguments for a 'distinctive' South; social and political doctrines of racial separatism as the core of southern identity; political oppression for the maintenance of white power; the role of physical intimidation and economic arguments used by the Ku Klux Klan. Lewis's authoritative work on southern segregationists and what drove them to oppose civil rights reform is a valuable resource for students of twentieth century American history.
