Gardner Dexter Hiscox: 1800 Mechanical Movements, Devices and Appliances

1800 Mechanical Movements, Devices and Appliances


Description

A fascinating compendium of early-twentieth-century mechanical devices, this wide-ranging work covers a variety of applications. More than 1,800 engravings rangingfrom simple diagrams todetailed cross-sections illustrate the workings of each item, from simple hooks and levers to complex machinery used in steam, motive, hydraulic, air, and electric power, navigation, gearing, clocks, mining, construction, and more. Compiled as a ready reference for inventors, students of mechanics, artisans, and other workers, this volume features only minimal text. Its true value lies in its wealth of illustrated information, offering the quickest and most satisfactory method of conveying the exact conditions of mechanical action and construction."

Hans Jonas here rethinks the foundations of ethics in light of the awesome transformations wrought by modern technology: the threat of nuclear war, ecological ravage, genetic engineering, and the like. Though informed by a deep reverence for human life, Jonas's ethics is grounded not in religion but in metaphysics, in a secular doctrine that makes explicit man's duties toward himself, his posterity, and the environment. Jonas offers an assessment of practical goals under present circumstances, ending with a critique of modern utopianism. "The Subtle Knife" is as absorbing and irresistible as "The 1800 Mechanical Movements, Devices and Appliances free pdf Golden Compass"--and even more so, as powerful forces are set in motion. A brilliantly conceived work. --Lloyd Alexander, author of the Prydain Chronicles, and Newbery Medalist for "The High King""
