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. Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others.

365.019 - it's a family portrait
Image by nettsu
As part of midsumma (the melbourne GBLTI pride festival) we went to rainbow portraits in the park (I was expecting a few more people to be there [it was 2 couples and 3 families]), where the intent was for people to have their family portraits taken by each other after a photography workshop.
It was fun :)
This photo obviously wasn't taken by me (as I do happen to be in it!).It was taken on my camera and the post-processing was though.

History and Philosophy of Modern Mathematics: Volume XI (Minnesota Studies in the Philosophy of Science)
History and Philosophy of Modern Mathematics was first published in 1988. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.
The fourteen essays in this volume build on the pioneering effort of Garrett Birkhoff, professor of mathematics at Harvard University, who in 1974 organized a conference of mathematicians and historians of modern mathematics to examine how the two disciplines approach the history of mathematics. In History and Philosophy of Modern Mathematics, William Aspray and Philip Kitcher bring together distinguished scholars from mathematics, history, and philosophy to assess the current state of the field. Their essays, which grow out of a 1985 conference at the University of Minnesota, develop the basic premise that mathematical thought needs to be studied from an interdisciplinary perspective.
The opening essays study issues arising within logic and the foundations of mathematics, a traditional area of interest to historians and philosophers. The second section examines issues in the history of mathematics within the framework of established historical periods and questions. Next come case studies that illustrate the power of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of mathematics. The collection closes with a look at mathematics from a sociohistorical perspective, including the way institutions affect what constitutes mathematical knowledge.

âœ" AMAZON.COMâ€"Featured Author Reviewâ€"Rolland Loveâ€"Ozark Mountains Stories "To this day the Ozark Mountains remain an untouched natural wonder. Rolland Love’s ability to paint this landscape in clear, crisp detail with his MARK TWAIN writing style has transfigured into a series of fantastic tales Huck and Tom could have only dreamed about."
☛ Here I am again, sitting on the gravel bar of an Ozark Mountains spring fed river, watching a Red-tailed Hawk soar above a towering limestone bluff.A smallmouth bass is chasing a school of shiner minnows.A ray of sunshine burns though a wisp of fog rising up off the river and the surface of deep blue water shimmers with the color of sparkling gold.Words cannot describe the beauty and grandeur of the scene before me. If only water could talk about where it has been and what it’s plans are as it flows from the hill country toward the sea.
I do plan to tell some fishing stories shortly from my award winning series but first I want to talk about what it was like growing up in the Ozark Mountains, one of the most rugged and oldest landmasses in the world.
During the summer months I worked for my uncle. He ran a fishing camp upstream from moonshine ridge, a not so well kept secret location where a local man by the name of Harley brewed corn mesh whiskey that he sold for a buck a gallon. He was always in trouble with the taxman and got arrested so many times he lost count. Finally the authorities hired him to make white lightning in Alley Springs State Park as a tourist exhibition. It was a popular exhibit mainly because Harley was a wonderful storyteller. I liked him so much I put his picture on the cover of my book the Blue Hole.
My fishing camp duties included fishing for fish, enough fish to feed all the guests in the camp in the event their luck at fishing was not as good as mine.I'd start each day with a swim in my favorite swimming hole on the river, but only after chasing off the water moccasins that seemed to favor my special spot.I'd fish for a while, and then serve as a guide to the city slickers who were guests at the camp.We'd float down the river in johnboats my family made by hand.I'd stop at one of the many caves that were cut into the bluffs along the river to give the fee paying fishermen a chance to catch a blindfish from the deep, icy-cold water inside the caverns.Most never did, but they had a good story to take home to their friends.
When summer ended I moved from the fishing camp to my families farm on the outskirts of a small Ozark Mountains town.There I attended school, but only after I took care of my morning chores; slop the hogs, feed the chickens and gather their eggs, milk the cow, and feed my horse, Clyde. In the fall we would butcher a big fat sow for sausage, bacon, and ham we cured in our smokehouse.On weekends I hunted rabbit, squirrel, deer and quail to provide meat for my family.On occasions I would drop by the pool hall and shoot a few games of eight ball.That's what I did when I was a 12 year-old kid, a kid most everyone knew by the nickname "River Rat".
It was those wonderful experiences from my youth that serve as the basis for my Ozark Mountain Short Stories series.Living off the land and enjoying a simple stress free life was a treasure I'll never forget.We didn't have much money but it didn't seem to matter back then.And there was never a need to take a vacation to unwind and recharge our batteries because we already lived in paradise.
Here’s the last thing I’ve got to say before my tales are told, I did include one story about what happened to me in the outhouse “privy†when i was a kid which has nothing to do with fishing but it will surely make you smile.
I hope you enjoy reading my stories. I sure do enjoy telling 'em.
