The Author's Due
The Author's Due offers an institutional and cultural history of books, the book trade, and the bibliographic ego. Joseph Loewenstein traces the emergence of possessive authorship from the establishment of a printing industry in England to the passage of the 1710 Statute of Anne, which provided the legal underpinnings for modern copyright. Along the way he demonstrates that the culture of books, including the idea of the author, is intimately tied to the practical trade of publishing those books. As Loewenstein shows, copyright is a form of monopoly that developed alongside a range of related protections such as commercial trusts, manufacturing patents, and censorship, and cannot be understo...

The Weimar Century
How ideas, individuals, and political traditions from Weimar Germany molded the global postwar order The Weimar Century reveals the origins of two dramatic events: Germany's post–World War II transformation from a racist dictatorship to a liberal democracy, and the ideological genesis of the Cold War. Blending intellectual, political, and international histories, Udi Greenberg shows that the foundations of Germany’s reconstruction lay in the country’s first democratic experiment, the Weimar Republic (1918–33). He traces the paths of five crucial German émigrés who participated in Weimar’s intense political debates, spent the Nazi era in the United States, and then rebuilt Europe ...
Waveforms and Relative Phase Stability of Transients Radiated from a Helicopter-supported Antenna Wire
A nearly vertical antenna wire varying in length from 3000 to 8000 ft was shock-excited by a high-voltage source. The resulting radiation fields were received at distances of about 600 km by two stations separated laterally so as to subtend an angle of about 15© at the source. The difference in wavefront arrival times at the two stations, observed for 101 transmissions, showed an average absolute deviation from the mean of about only 1/2 [mu]s. This figure includes the effects of possible source asymmetries, sferics noise, instrumental errors, and wave propagation. Typical oscillograms of antenna currents and radiation fields are given. It is shown that the amplitudes and durations of the pulse envelopes, the amplitudes and durations of the first half-cycles, and the quasi-frequencies of the pulses are in good agreement with a theory that takes energy losses into account.
