B720MN19
b720MN19 is an exercise between record, meaning, and the use of colour, particularly the association between glass and colour. This book is the materialisation in paper of a b720's studio project: the transformation of an anonymous building into a living project as it changes with the passing hours through the colours of the glass slats that transform the interior and exterior in intense dialogue with eachother. The project also symbolises the justification of an aesthetical solution to the need for protection from the sun. The work arouses, through the pictures by Rafael Vargas, reflections on project and colour in ... the architectural and artistic world.] Dominique Boudet, French journalist and critic.
Antique Lace
Lace, like silver or porcelain, can be classified by type and its date and place of origin often can be identified. But in the absence of marks giving maker or date, lace must be judged on its technical features and style. This new edition gathers fascinating and useful information in an easy to read and well-organised text covering needlepoint laces, embroideries, lace knitting and tatting, and bobbin laces made in Europe from the 16th century forward, including 19th century revivals. Each type is described and illustrated with hundreds of photographs and line drawings to show the technical characteristics and particular regard to the way one lace compares with another. A glossary, notes on cleaning, care, and conservation, and a price guide make this an essential reference for lace makers, designers, and lace collectors alike.
Uneasy Careers and Intimate Lives
These pioneering studies of women in science pay special attention to the mutual impact of family life and scientific career. The contributors address five key themes: historical changes in such concepts as scientific career, profession, patronage, and family; differences in "gender image" associated with various branches of science; consequences of national differences and emigration; opportunities for scientific work opened or closed by marriage; and levels of women's awareness about the role of gender in science. An international group of historians of science discuss a wide range of European and American women scientists--from early nineteenth-century English botanists to Marie Curie to the twentieth-century theoretical biologist, Dorothy Wrinch.
The Theory of Sets of Points
From the Preface to the first edition (1906): "A few of the most modern books on the Theory of Functions devote some pages to the establishment of certain results belonging to our subject, and required for the special purposes in hand... But we may fairly claim that the present work is the first attempt at a systematic exposition of the subject as a whole."
Mary Somerville
A biography of the leading woman of science in Great Britain during the nineteenth century.
More Than Pupils
This book opens new research perspectives by illustrating how the teacher-pupil relationship was real and fruitful in the Italian science context between the 19th and the 20th centuries. It is the story of students, disciples, assistants, women who, thanks to extraordinary teachers (Volterra, Peano, Grassi, Golgi, Levi, Lombroso), gained autonomy, professional maturity and were awarded a chair up to achieving a great amibition, the Nobel Prize (R. Levi Montalcini, A. Foà, C. Fabri, E. Freda, M. Bakunin, G. Lombroso, G. Cattani, R. Brunetti, R. Monti)
Natural Eloquence
Fourteen essays explore work by women who have disseminated scientific knowledge, highlighting women as productive literary and artistic agents within science culture, and focusing on science written in the vernacular. Contributors discuss subjects such as the dissemination of knowledge in England, Canada, Australia, and America, the redefinition of knowledge by post-Darwinian women and women of the 20th century, and self-fashioning.
