Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Professor Emerita Susan Ballyn, University of Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain:'.covers new and unexplored ground regarding the first discovery of gold in Australia and of the socio/politics of the time that left this event relatively unexplored and relegated to mere references even in the work of historians such as Blainey.'Dr David Roberts, Senior Lecturer, University of New England, Armidale, NSW:'. engaging and satisfying . I found this work somewhat refreshing . it demonstrated an intimacy and depth of knowledge that was persuasive and sometimes compelling . allowed us to get beneath the skin of the people, and to see possible connections between a variety of episodes, many of which have certainly been underappreciated and misunderstood in existing literature.'Many people have the impression that the Victorian gold rushes not only began in mid-1851, but also occurred in response to discoveries earlier in that year near Bathurst, west of Sydney. Not so! The Victorian gold rushes of 1851 were a direct consequence of a largely forgotten gold discovery two years earlier in the Pyrenees Ranges of the Port Phillip District. This is the story of how, in the summer of 1849, one shepherd and three ex-convicts started a gold rush involving hundreds of Melbourne residents. The story of how Charles La Trobe, the Superintendent of the Port Phillip District, discouraged gold mining until after Port Phillip's separation from New South Wales to ensure the revenue would be expended solely for Victoria's benefit. To open a gold field while Port Phillip was still part of New South Wales would be to hand the benefits to Sydney. It is the story of how those accredited with the 1851 gold discoveries, such as Edward Hargraves, were influenced by the actions of those involved in 1849 Pyrenees discovery.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Nur durch den Gebrauch unserer Muskeln sind wir in der Lage, auf unsere Umwelt einzuwirken, d.h. Kraefte auszuueben und Gegenstaende - und auch uns - zu bewegen. Muskeln sind biologische Maschinen, die chemische Energie, die letztlich aus der Reaktion von Nahrung mit Sauerstoff herruehrt, in Kraft und mechanische Arbeit umsetzen. Ziel dieses Buches ist es, zu erklaeren, was ueber die Art und Weise, wie diese Maschine arbeitet, bekannt ist. Es ist sinnlos, ein solches Problem unter einem zu engen Blickwinkel zu sehen; es be steht vielmehr die Notwendigkeit, Ideen und experimentelle Tech niken aus den Gebieten Mechanik, Biochemie, Hikroskopie, Molekular biologie, Elektronik und Thermodynamik einzufuehren, um herauszu finden, welche Vorgaenge in einem Muskel ablaufen, wie ein Muskel funktioniert. Es wird vorausgesetzt, dass der Leser bereits ueber einiges Hintergrundwissen verfuegt und, was noch wichtiger ist, echtes Interesse an der Thematik hat. Selbst Einzeller, wie z.B. eine Amoebe, koennen sich bewegen, obwohl unter dem Mikroskop an ihnen keine spezialisierten Muskeln zu er kennen sind. Bei den meisten mehrzelligen Organismen jedoch sind einige Zellen auf diese spezielle Form der Energieumwandlung spezialisiert. Bei Vielzellern macht das Muskelgewebe einen Gross teil des Koerpers aus, beim Menschen etwa 40 %. Das 'Fleisch' des Koerpers ist fast reine Muskulatur, ebenso das Herz, der Darmtrakt und einige andere innere Organe. Der Uterus und die Harnblase z.B. es be steht vielmehr die Notwendigkeit, Ideen und experimentelle Tech niken aus den Gebieten Mechanik, Biochemie, Hikroskopie, Molekular biologie, Elektronik und Thermodynamik einzufuehren, um herauszu finden, welche Vorgaenge in einem Muskel ablaufen, wie ein Muskel funktioniert.

Condizione: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 326 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Picture this - Back Creek, as Talbot was then known, in April 1859: "Crime is frightfully on the increase in this district, and the hordes of thieves and murderers on the rush are becoming emboldened from the comparative immunity which they enjoy. At present Detective Slattery and a handful of constables are the only men to keep down hundreds of villains of the deepest dye. The report I have forwarded you, of the murderous attack on Mrs Ross, is only one of several crimes . Several cases of sticking-up have come to our knowledge . A butcher named Wills was pounced on by four armed men near Sault's Hotel . A woman was stabbed in the face on Wednesday night . On Tuesday night a man had his jaw broken . The feeling among the inhabitants is one of great insecurity. A Court of Petty Sessions will he held daily at Wrigley's Hotel, on and after Monday." Maryborough and Dunolly Advertiser quoted in Argus, Monday 16 May 1859, p. 5. Back Creek was experiencing a massive gold rush. The population had reached 30,000. Not only were there murders, robberies and all kinds of other lawlessness, but Back Creek was described as the very sink of iniquity. In the midst of all this were the children and the desire to provide them with some form of education to prevent them falling into heathenism and barbarianism. But the Denominational Schools argued with each other. The Presbyterians would not allow their children to attend the Anglican schools. The teachers were often untrained and just as susceptible to the lure of gold as the parents. The Boards of Education took months to pay bills and salaries. This is the story of how education was provided to the children of this district, from a time long before the gold rushes, a time when the only children were those of the squatters and their servants, through to 1862 when the Common Schools system established in an attempt to overcome the inter-Denominational rivalries.…

Condizione: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 474 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | This Revised Edition corrects a small number of typographical errors discovered in the earlier editions, otherwise the text is identical. Eugene Rossiet Lennon, Professor of Languages, educated at the University of Paris, came to Australia in 1843 as a convict. He had been convicted of inciting one young woman, Louisa La Grange, to commit a crime by robbing the jewellers of London's West End of their diamonds. Louisa was also transported and soon became Madame Callegari - whose story is told in the Journal of Madame Callegari and is also available through Historia Incognita. But Eugene Lennon embarked upon a very different career to that of his former accomplice, Louisa La Grange. He was tutor for the Cotton family at Swansea, on the remote east coast of Van Diemen's Land. And after father Cotton, a devout Quaker, banished him for taking too much interest in his twenty-year-old daughter, Lennon became tutor to the Pillinger family at Antil Ponds. The Pillingers were much more understanding. Returning to Hobart with a ticket-of-leave, Eugene was almost banished again when he became attached to James Dickinson's twenty-year-old daughter, Sarah. But Sarah was pregnant and Lennon did the right thing and married her. After several years of self-imposed exile at Southport, a long way south of Hobart, the Lennons and the Dickinsons moved to Victoria where Eugene soon became headmaster of the Flinders National Grammar School in Geelong. His career became illustrious with the school gaining a reputation as a model for teaching excellence. After many years, Lennon and the Education Department could no longer see eye-to-eye. So Lennon parted ways with the National School and established the Geelong High School across the street. But all of this, and more, can be read in The Life and Loves of Eugene Rossiet Lennon, Professeur Extraordinaire.…
