A Relation of an Extraordinary Sleepy Person at Tinsbury, Near Bath. by William Oliver,
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...

Superconducting Electronics
The genesis of the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) upon which this volume is based, occurred during the summer of 1986 when we came to the realization that there had been significant progress during the early 1980's in the field of superconducting electronics and in applications of this technology. Despite this progress, there was a perception among many engineers and scientists that, with the possible exception of a limited number of esoteric fundamental studies and applications (e.g., the Josephson voltage standard or the SQUID magnetometer), there was no significant future for electronic systems incorporating superconducting elements. One of the major reasons for this perception was t...
Stories from Ireland and America
Monsignor O'Neill is quite a storyteller. Through the years he has been encouraged to collect his tall tales into a book. This collection of stories spans 70 years from his childhood in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s Ireland to his more-than-50-year ministry in the United States. Some of the stories in this collection may seem to be outlandish or hard to believe. They are actually all true! O'Neill says, "Life is a journey. Scenes from that journey may make a deep impression and remain in the memory. We must never forget our roots. No matter who or what we are, we are dependent upon the goodness and the friendship of each other. We are ultimately dependent upon God and His goodness toward us. Each generation is unique and is a product of its own time and culture. We have received noble values and virtues from past generations. They have given us the warm and happy memories we treasure so much. May future generations have happy childhood memories to share with their children."
The High Hander
"The High Hander" by William Oliver Turner is a thrilling Western novel that immerses readers in the rugged and lawless frontier of the Old West. Turner's narrative follows the exploits of a charismatic outlaw known as the High Hander, who eludes the law while pursuing his own brand of justice. The novel is filled with action, suspense, and moral ambiguity as the line between right and wrong blurs in the unforgiving frontier. "The High Hander" is an enthralling read for fans of Western fiction and tales of the Wild West.
The Pyramid
Follow young Oliver's rebellious coming-of-age in the village of Stillbourne in this comic novel by the radical Nobel Laureate and author of Lord of the Flies. Eighteen is a good time for suffering Welcome to the country town of Stillbourne. Restless teenage resident Oliver wants to enjoy himself before going to university, beginning with his pursuit of the Town Crier's daughter. But in this claustrophobic community - stifled by the English class system, and where everybody knows everyone's business - love, lust and rebellion are closely followed by revenge and embarrassment . . . 'Golding depicts with subtle skill all the pains of growing up and growing old. He treats us to some superb comic episodes.' Daily Telegraph 'Golding's most approachable novel and a curiously personal one, that returns to the mind again and again as if the shames and idylls were one's own.' Guardian 'Neatly drawn, funny and touching . . . The snap, the tang, and the tension in Golding's prose is always a pleasure.' Harper's

Accidence Will Happen
Are standards of English alright - or should that be all right? To knowingly split an infinitive or not to? And what about ending a sentence with preposition, or for that matter beginning one with 'and'? We learn language by instinct, but good English, the pedants tell us, requires rules. Yet, as Oliver Kamm demonstrates, many of the purists' prohibitions are bogus and can be cheerfully disregarded. ACCIDENCE WILL HAPPEN is an authoritative and deeply reassuring guide to grammar, style and the linguistic conundrums we all face. 'A unique and indispensable guide to usage' STEVEN PINKER 'An immensely intelligent and playful polemic, cheeky and erudite by turns...certainly gets the blood pumping, so do read it' THE TIMES 'A superb book' INDEPENDENT
