        Nuevo vocabulario filosófico-democrático. Indispensable para todos los que deseen entender la nueva lengua revolucionaria

        by Gonzalo Capellán (edición y estudio preliminar)

        El Nuevo Vocabulario de Lorenzo Ignacio Thjulen, Gotemburgo 1746, se contextualiza en el denominado "Trienio jacobino" o "republicano" y parte de la necesidad de cambiar nombres, palabras y sus significados para mostrar una realidad: "el lenguaje y la ideología se hallan íntimamente interrelacionados" y detrás del "significado de las palabras" está "el mundo que ellas crean". Obra de especial atención no solo para los estudiosos de la semántica histórica o la historia conceptual, sino también para quienes se ocupan del pensamiento y la acción contrarrevolucionarios, así como del origen de la cultura política antidemocrática moderna.

        De wereld vanuit een luchtballon

        by Robert Verhoogt

        The invention of the hot air balloon in 1783 caused a sensation which would last for more than a century. The great aeronaut Jean-Pierre Blanchard and his fellow pioneers were followed by many others, whose lift-off attracted masses of people again and again. The subsequent “balloon mania” created a new element in cultural history: the third dimension, reflected in the literary and visual arts as well as in high culture and popular imagination. Scenes from a Balloon skilfully endeavours to reconstruct the sensation the balloon caused in cultural history of the late eighteenth and nineteenth century in Europe and the United States. After Thomas Baldwin produced the first image from a balloon in 1785, reproduction of remarkable prints, paintings, and photographs gained widespread popularity. Balloons inspired well-known photographers and artists, including Nadar, Spelterini, Goya, Manet, Daumier, and Redon, but they also led to a wealth of arts & crafts and popular souvenirs. The adventures of Blanchard, Nadar and other balloonists were a source of inspiration for popular writers like Edgar Allan Poe, Jules Verne, and Mark Twain.

        Electric Machines in Agriculture

        Origin,Development and Applications

        by Kevin Desmond

        As far back as 1873, experiments were carried out to see whether the electric trolley system applied to omnibuses could be adapted to ploughing and tilling fields. In 1913, 1,600 trolley/cable ploughs were in use across German farmlands. The arrival of the gasoline tractor relegated the use of electricity to electroculture, short haul farm machinery and lawn mowers. But it is only with the commercial availability of the lithium-ion battery during the last decade, that electrically powered drones and more recently tractors and earth movers are being seen as the way ahead. In this, the sixth in his seminal electric transport history series, Kevin Desmond portrays the life and work of the innovative engineers who perfected these e-tractors and agricultural drones.

        Imitation and Innovation in Dutch Genre Painting 1680-1750

        by Junko Aono

        Is it possible to talk about Dutch art after 1680 outside the prevailing critical framework of the "age of decline"? Although an increasing number of studies are being published on the art and society of this period, genre painting of this era continues to be dismissed as an uninspired repetition of the art of the second and third quarters of the seventeenth century, known as the Dutch Golden Age/ In this stunningly illustrated study, Aono reconsiders the long-dismissed genre painting from 1680-1750. Grounded in close analysis of a range of paintings and primary sources, this study illuminates the main features of genre painting, highlighting the ways in which these elements related to the painters' close connections to, on the one hand, collectors, and on the other, to classicism, one of the dominant artistic styles of that time. Three case studies, richly supplemented by a catalogue of 29 selected painters and their work, offer the first clear picture of the genre painting of the period while providing new insights into painters' activities, collectors' tastes and the contemporary art market.

        When the Fat Lady Sings

        Opera History as it Ought to be Taught

        by David W. Barber

        David. W. Barber has delighted readers all around the world with the quirky definitions of Accidentals on Purpose, the irreverent history of Bach, Beethoven and the Boys, a hilariously offbeat history of dance and ballet in Tutus, Tights and Tiptoes and a host of other internationally bestselling books of musical humor and literature. With When the Fat Lady Sings, the popular author and musical humorist turns his attention to what Dr. Johnson called that "exotick and irrational entertainment," the world of opera. Here are stories of love and lust, jealousy, intrigue, murder and tragic death – and that's just the stuff happening off stage, in the composers' personal lives. Wait till you read about the opera plots. Informal yet informative, witty yet wise, this book will both enlighten and entertain you. As always, Dave Donald has provided witty and clever cartoons that perfectly complement the text. "This is a very humorous book, but at the same time it tells it like it is, or was. David's not really fabricating anything, he just manages to give you the gist of the history while leaving out all the boring bits." – Canadian contralto Maureen Forrester, from the Preface "I must say I still adore opera. I know it is just as silly as Mr. Barber says it is, but I love it." – musical humorist Anna Russell, from the Foreword.

        Diderot's battle for the Great French Encyclopedia

        by Klaus Möckel

        France, middle of the 18th century. In a time of feudal rule, moral decline and fierce religious disputes, the still little known philosopher Diderot and his publisher Le Breton decide to publish an encyclopedia of knowledge and thus of spiritual enlightenment. But this "Great Encyclopedia" met with bitter resistance. The prefect of police and his informers, the archbishop of Paris, the courts of justice, and dark men of all stripes fight the work. While Diderot rallies comrades-in-arms around him (d'Alembert, Voltaire, Rousseau), he is exposed to constant threats. Intrigues are instigated, the affair of a young abbé and an assassination attempt on the king conjure up the highest dangers. The allies fall out, and in the end the work is betrayed, almost causing it to fail.In this historically well-founded, exciting novella by the author and Romanist, who was already successful with "The King's Playgirls", "Gold and Galleys" and "Hot Goods under the Lily Banner", the contrasts of an entire epoch collide. Not only the mentioned persons, but also the king himself and his mistress, the famous Pompadour, intervene in the events. Nobles of different colors, clergymen, rich citizens like the publisher Le Breton, but also craftsmen, lackeys, prostitutes, populate an exciting event filled with contradictions.The controversies surrounding the "Great French Encyclopedia", hitherto little noticed by literature, are full of drama and challenge comparison with the religious and secular conflicts of our day.
