Review The Papers of Thomas A. Edison : Menlo Park: The Early Years, April 1876-December 1877 (The Papers of Thomas A. Edison) Vol. 3 (The Papers of Thomas A. Edison) / The Johns Hopkins University Press:The third volume of this widely acclaimed series reveals the breath-taking intensity, intellectual acumen, and vast self-confidence of twenty-nine-year-old Thomas Edison. In the depths of the 1870s depression, he moved his independent research and development laboratory from industrial Newark to pastoral Menlo Park, some fifteen miles to the south on the main line of the railroad from New York to Philadelphia. There, equipped with resources for experimental development that were extraordinary for their time, Edison and a few close associates began twenty months of research that expanded their well-established accomplishments in telegraphy into pioneering work on the telephone. Edison's ideas and techniques from telegraph message recording and the telephone next led to his invention of the phonograph, the first patent for which was filed in December 1877. This invention ultimately gave Edison a world-wide reputation - and the nickname "the wizard of Menlo Park. ".

Review Compromising Traditions: The Personal Voice in Classical Scholarship / Routledge:Scholars in modern languages and literatures have enthusiastically embraced the use of the "personal voice", the explicitly autobiographical performance within the act of criticism. However on both sides of the Atlantic, venerable traditions of Classical scholarship, among them, unusually rigid taboos against speaking of oneself in print, have deterred classicists at the earlier stages of their careers from engaging in serious self-reflection as they offer new interpretations of ancient Greek and Roman texts and thought. Indebted to the insights of feminist and post-structuralist writing, the use of the personal voice challenges the traditional notion of the objective critic who analyzes texts from a disinterested and universally relevant perspective. Compromising Traditions: The Personal Voice in Classical Scholarship is the first collection of theoretically informed autobiographical writing in the field of classical studies. An intellectual debate involving both American and British classicists, its contributors represent a wide range of academic institutions, areas of specialization and theoretical approaches. All, however, share the goal of creating a more expansive and authoritative form of classical scholarship which acknowledges distinctive differences amongst its practitioners as vital sources of strength.

Review Patent Piracy / Ceshore Publishing Company:Harry Arzouman is living the American dream, growing wealthy thanks to his inventions and patents. When a group of Swiss bankers decide to shanghai Harry's valuable patents, they turn for help to the most ruthless law firm in the United States and its most ruthless lawyer.

In the process, he learns that winning or losing has little to do who is right and who is wrong in a court of law, and "justice" often depends on the size of one's pocketbook. An inspiring true story of strength, determination and conviction in the face of adversity and corruption.

Review The Legacy of J.C. Kapteyn: Studies on Kapteyn and the Development of Modern Astronomy (Astrophysics and Space Science Library) / Springer:Jacobus Cornelius Kapteyn (1851-1922) of the University of Groningen was one of the foremost astronomers of his time, resulting in a leading role internationally of Dutch astronomy throughout the twentieth century. This volume, which is the proceedings of a special `legacy' symposium at the celebration of the 385th anniversary of the University of Groningen, addresses Kapteyn's influence on the development of modern astronomy through studies of his pioneering work on statistical astronomy and the Structure of the Sidereal System, and his leadership in establishing international collaborations, in particular the Plan of Selected Areas. In addition to historical studies related to Kapteyn's person, work, international collaborations and organisational efforts, the volume discusses the influence of Kapteyn on the internationalisation of astronomy and on contemporary astronomy. It also provides an inventory of Kapteyn's correspondence.

Review The Spirit of System: Lamarck and Evolutionary Biology / Harvard University Press:Jean-Baptiste Lamarck was a biological Janus, at once a highly competent taxonomist in a traditional mold and a bold, almost visionary, philosopher of nature who aspired to contrive an all-embracing "physics of the earth" by sheer force of intellect. Lamarck is generally remembered only for his ideas about the inheritance of acquired characters, ideas he did not originate or take special credit for, ideas that were only one part of his broad theory of evolution. In this, the first modern book-length study of Lamarck, Richard Burkhardt examines the origin and development of Lamarck's theory of organic evolution, the major theory prior to Darwin.
