The Natural History of Norway
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. Medical theory and practice of the 1700s developed rapidly, as is evidenced by the extensive collection, which includes descriptions of diseases, their conditions, and treatments. Books on science and technology, agriculture, military technology, natural philosophy, even cookbooks, are all contained here. ++++ The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

The Copepodologist's Cabinet
Copepod crustaceans are the most numerous multicellular animals on earth. They occur in every free-living and parasitic aquatic niche. Copepods have been known since the time of Aristotle, yet there has never been a history of the study of copepods. This volume, the first in a planned three-volume series, reviews the discoveries of copepods to 1832, the year that the two distinct branches, the free-living copepods (long-known as insects) and the parasitic copepods (thought to be molluscs or worms) were finally acknowledged as members of the same Class Crustacea. The narrative includes the biographies of 90 early copepodologists and recounts their most important contributions to science. Port...
Pietism, Revivalism and Modernity, 1650-1850
Pietism can be understood either as a specific German theological tradition emanating from late seventeenth-century reformers as Spener and Francke or as a wider range of practical piety characterising early modern movements as Protestant Puritanism and Methodism as well as Catholic Jansenism. Trying an inclusive definition, an international network programme was set up, resulting in a first conference in the Netherlands in 2004, which addressed the question whether Pietism was to be seen as a consequence of or a reaction to confessionalisation in the Reformation era. A similar approach was chosen for a second conference, held in the Swedish university town of Umeå on November 17-18, 2005. ...

Prince Tandi of Cumba, Or, The New Menoza
The 18th century playwright J.M.R. Lenz played a leading role in the revitalization of German literature through an experimental style of writing that rejected conventional, rationalistic forms. Much of Lenz's later life and work remains obscure. Today he is known for a rich outpouring of writings dating from the first half of the 1770s, and above all for three plays. "The Tutor, The Soldiers, " and "Prince Tandi of Cumba or The New Menoza." In his plays, Lenz reacted against 18th century theatrical conventions with a cavalier disregard for the unities of time, place and action, and with a combination of humorous and serious elements which blurs the distinctions between comedy and tragedy. Lenz's theatre represents a radical step forward in the direction of realism, both in his use of language and in his vision of the human condition. The origins of this book lie in a symposium held to mark the bicentenary of the death of Lenz, the central event of which was a performance of Lenz's "Pr"
