Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that glaciers move and erode the Earth's surface, not through gradual melting and freezing but because they are one continuous solid that crawls under alternating temperatures. The author presents mathematic and observational evidence which challenges the established thinking of the mid-19th century that glaciers were more akin to viscous fluids. By doing so, this book provides an early example of a scientist using empirical data to develop and support a theory, the approach that would become the hallmark of modern science.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the world of Charles Dickens through the lens of his connection to Grimaldi, the famous clown. While not written by Dickens himself, the book is based on his condensed and edited version of Grimaldi's memoirs. However, it is not just a simple biography; the author explores the nature of their relationship, setting it within the wider context of Dickens' life and the Victorian fascination with clowns. By examining Grimaldi's story and his own reaction to it, Dickens reveals much about his own experiences and motivations. The author concludes that Dickens's fascination with Grimaldi was not just a passing interest, but rather a profound connection that shaped his understanding of the human condition and his own role as a writer.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is the second volume in the author's work in which the author narrates the trials and tribulations of Henry Little, a young man who fights against the ingrained prejudices of his time. While the first volume, "Hard Times," laid bare the horrors of life as a factory worker, this book follows Little's journey as he rises through the ranks. Set against the backdrop of 1830s industrial England, this book is a vivid account of social inequality, class conflict, worker's rights, and more. The author was an early proponent of realistic fiction which sought to describe real life and everyday experiences, particularly for the common man, and this book is a prime example of that mission. The author immerses the readers in a world of exploitation, and terror, while at the same time celebrating courage and tenacity. Timely and thought-provoking, this book is a masterpiece of social realism and an important addition to any library.
