Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 2016 Cambridge hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: Since the early 1990s, politicians, policymakers, the media and academics have increasingly focused on religion, noting the significant increase in the number of cases involving religion. As a result, law and religion has become a specific area of study. The work of Professor Norman Doe at Cardiff University has served as a catalyst for this change, especially through the creation of the LLM in Canon Law in 1991 (the first degree of its type since the time of the Reformation) and the Centre for Law and Religion in 1998 (the first of its kind in the UK). Published to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the LLM in Canon Law and to pay tribute to Professor Doe's achievements so far, this volume reflects upon the interdisciplinary development of law and religion. Contents: Notes on contributors Foreword - Lord Williams of Oystermouth Preface Professor Norman Doe: A Bibliography - Frank Cranmer 1 Renaissance and re-engagement: Norman Doe's achievement in the discipline of Law and Religion - Mark Hill QC Part I Conceptual foundations and historical development 2 Law, religion and the curve of reason - Celia Kenny 3 Legal authority in canon law: cases from the notebook of a medieval English ecclesiastical lawyer - Richard H.

Single Issue Magazine. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. San Francisco: Sierra Club, 1923. First Edition. Vol XI, No. 4, for 1923. This was published during a several-year time period when the Sierra Club did not stipulate the month of an issue, just the volume, the number, and the year - monthly designations for such an infrequent publication having always been somewhat unnecessary in any case. Original printed wrappers, 9 1/4" x 6 1/4", 115 pp. + numerous unpaginated photographic plates, features and ads, including a fold-out map (Grouse Meadows to Vidette Meadow) and a fold-out wide-angle photograph by W.H. Wright. Gray stapled wraps, rather than the usual medium brown. Very Good; circuit binding (yapp binding) was used, in which cover edges were intentionally extended out beyond page edges, but over time the extended part becomes pressed inward somewhat (see scan). Some damage at inside front hinge area, and some spine sunning and abrasion. A handsome copy. See scans. Binding sturdy, contents fine. See scan of contents page for the lineup of stellar club writers and their always engaging and adventurous topics. In addition to the graphics mentioned above, this issue is chock full of photographic plates by the club's best photographers, as well as others, including Robert L. Lipman, A.C. Lovekin, J.S. Hutchinson, James K. Moffitt, Ansel F. Hall, Frank A. Williamson, C.O. Schneider, W. Harris (an 1867 shot), Con L. Grover, Frederick H. Morley, Walter L. Huber, Chester Versteeg and several uncredited artists. SC2. Robert L. Lipman, A.C. Lovekin, J.S. Hutchinson, James K. Moffitt, Ansel F. Hall, Frank A. Williamson, C.O. Schneider, W. Harris, Con L.

Hard Cover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: No Jacket (As Issued). First Edition 4th Printing. Corners, Spine Bumped; Light Shelf Rub to Boards; Spine Slightly Cocked; Edges Lightly Soiled; Slight Yellowing Due to Age. CONTENTS: Chapter 1. The Algebra of Sets; Chapter 2. Arrangements and Subsets; Chapter 3. Mathematical Induction; Chapter 4. The Binomial Theorem; Chapter 5. Probability; Chapter 6. Polar Co-ordinates; Chapter 7. Complex Numbers; Chapter 8. An Introduction to Algebraic Systems; Tables; Answers; Index. EXCERPT: PREFACE - In this text the authors have attempted to introduce a judicious blending of the set theoretical approach and the more traditional approach to the various topics. The set theoretical approach can be very useful in demonstrating relationships between apparently unrelated topics and, from this point of view, is a powerful mathematical tool. However, overindulgence in set theory simply for the sake of using sets may often cause basically simple ideas to appear much more complicated than they actually are. Study of Chapters 6, 7, and 8, may usefully be delayed until the authors companion volume entitled Vectors and Matrices has been studied. This is not essential since these chapters are complete in themselves, but a familiarity with Vectors and Matrices may enable the student to study these chapters more quickly. Definitions and key points in the various chapters have been printed in red. In addition some problems in certain exercises have been numbered in red. These tend to be more difficult than the other problems and might be omitted on a first reading . . . Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. …

Matrix Multiplication; Answers; Index. EXCERPT: PREFACE - In this text the student is led from a study of physical vectors, in particular of their geometric representatives, to a study of algebraic vectors which provides the student with a precise account of this branch of mathematics and an introduction to the abstract ideas of vector spaces. This work is then applied mainly to the development of a number of ideas in plane co-ordinate geometry (many of which are already familiar to the student) and the extension of these ideas to three-dimensional geometry. Discussions of systems of linear equations, their solution or lack of a solution, form a significant part of the work in this text. These discussions lead naturally to and culminate in an introduction to the study of matrices . . . Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. …

4to. 72 letters, some, mimeographed, others typed carbon copies, and a few ALS, sized 5.75 x 9.25 in. up to 8.5 x 11 in., many on steel-engraved letterhead, a couple on ruled paper, and many featuring the offsetting from the leather dyes, with over 40 attached samples of papers, White coated sign muslin, foundry sand, and assorted leathers. All preserved in archival mylar sleeves in recent full calf 3-ring binder, w/ stamping. An exceptional archive of original TLS many with original samples of paper, leather, and even sand which were used in ever increasing quantities by the noted manufacturer of sleigh bells, bells, pull toys, and many other toys for children from the Gilded Age through World War I. The earliest letter dated Feb. 10, 1899, includes two paper samples from the Henry Lindenmeyr & Sons Paper Warehouse in New York on Bleeker Street noting that "we can furnish in the shade of your sample at $ 8.00 per hundred sheets basis 25 x 36. We could not make less than a thousand yards." Sixty, or the majority, of the letters and samples were sent by the Barber Co. beginning in 1902, and continuing into World War I. Their letters and samples describe the colour, grain, and general finish of the included samples as well as their perfect applications in "baby carriage straps, shawl straps, small cases [i.e. for toys], small tool boxes," and of course sleigh bells, and bell hangers, and bell flappers, as well as handle grips. Leathers encompass Red Straight Grain Cowhide, Pigskin straps, Black Bell Leather, Walnut Strap Leather, and specialized leathers for tumbling purposes for brasswork. Barber (1836-1909) was the longtime owner and operator of the Barber Leather Co. in North Adams until his death when his son Archer Barber took over the business. Many of the samples offered to the Hill Brass Co. are mounted on TLS and TLS copy letters from Harry S. Millard, who later was brought into the Barber Co. in 1914 as Treasurer of the Company. The samples here include splits, black pig leather, as well as embossed strips in assorted coloured leather, Caulkins & Post whose building at 484-494 Main Street in Middletown was considered one of the first "modern" stores, and specialized in drapes, window shades, furniture and bicycles before opening up their successful card dealership in 1903. The Hill Brass Co. required products beyond leathers & papers as shown by the reply to their request for a quote for White Sign Muslin (waterproof textile), intended for use on children's carriages and go-carts. For their manufacturing processes they required foundry sands, and the Pettinos Brothers based in Columbia, Ceylon, Bethlehem, PA, and Mexico sent them a sample of their plumbago "high grade Ceylon stock." There is even a May 29, 1905 solicitation letter from F. von Bardeleben after seeing the Hill Brass Co. exhibit at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair mentioning that his company can supply a "very fine grade of non-poisonous unchangeable paints to be used for painting toys." The N.N. Hill Brass Co. founded by Norman Newton Hill (1863-1950) in 1889 operated until the early 1960's, was one of the largest factory's in the World producing bells & toys, and by the 1930's produced Walt Disney merchandise. Along with the Bevin Brothers, and other local Massachusetts foundries, they manufactured Salvation Army bells, sleight bells, bicycle bells, alarm bells and more. See: N.N.
