Family Matters
John and Anne Knott moved from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Ann Arbor in the summer of 1967 with four children seven and under. The essays collected here look back at more than fifty years of a family's experience, offering perspectives on what constitutes a healthy family and what keeps it vital and connected as members scatter geographically and evolve in response to cultural change. John Knott is Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Michigan. Anne Knott worked for the University of Michigan as a fund raiser and as special counsel to President Lee Bollinger.
A New Method of Arithmetick
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...

Blindfold Chess
For centuries, blindfold chess--the art of playing without sight of the board or pieces--has produced some of the greatest feats of human memory, progressing to the extent that the world record in 2009 was 45 [and is now 46] simultaneous blindfold games. This work describes the personalities and achievements of some of blindfold chess's greatest players--including Philidor, Morphy, Blackburne, Zukertort, Pillsbury, Reti, Alekhine, Koltanowski, Najdorf and Fine, as well as present-day grandmasters such as Anand and Kramnik. Including some never before published, 444 games scores are presented, peppered with diagrams and annotations. Hints for playing blindfold, and its practical value, are also included.
Mechanisms and Mechanics of Fracture
A valuable guide for researchers and industrial engineers in the study of fracture mechanics, as well as for individuals performing failure analysis. Scientists and engineers from around the world have contributed experimental and theoretical papers on the fracture of materials to provide comprehensive coverage of the complete range of fracture, from fundamentals to applications. This volume includes sections on fundamentals of fracture, fracture mechanics, probabilistic approaches to fracture, and advanced materials. It also includes coverage of brittle fracture, ductile fracture, fatigue, statistical approaches, advanced materials, and structural life prediction.
Discourses of Martyrdom in English Literature, 1563-1694
Representations of persecution and martyrdom in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England helped shape a lasting ideal of Protestant heroism by recreating a drama of suffering learned from the Bible. This book examines the subversive potential of John Foxe's Acts and Monuments (the Book of Martyrs), alongside the work of Milton, Bunyan, George Fox and others.
