The MIT Press, 2002 8vo (23.5 cm), XI, 483 pp. Publisher's cloth. "Founded in 1540, the Society of Jesus was viewed for centuries as an impediment to the development of modern science. The Jesuit educational system was deemed conservative and antithetical to creative thought, while the Order and its members were blamed by Galileo, Descartes, and their disciples for virtually every proceeding against the new science. No wonder a consensus emerged that little reason existed for historians to take Jesuit science seriously. Only during the past two decades have scholars begun to question this received view of the Jesuit role in the Scientific Revolution, and this book contributes significantly to that reassessment. Focusing on the institutional setting of Jesuit science, the contributors take a new and broader look at the overall intellectual environment of the Collegio Romano and other Jesuit colleges to see how Jesuit scholars taught and worked, to examine the context of the Jesuit response to… Read More

A facsimile of Felice Feliciano's alphabet from the Vatican Library, accompanied by commentary and insights into facsimile production. Limited to 200 copies, this is number 49. Felice Feliciano (1433-1479) stands as a fascinating yet often overlooked Renaissance figure: a calligrapher, antiquarian (with expertise in Roman antiquities and a collector of inscriptions), author of alchemical poetry, and ultimately, a printer. In 1460, his keen interest in epigraphy led him to graphically reconstruct the Alphabetum Romanum on paper, now preserved in manuscript Vat. lat. 6852. In this work, the author meticulously depicts the entire Latin alphabet, with letters measuring 8 cm in height and rendered in two colors. Additionally, the work features a series of recipes for preparing inks in… Read More

"Ferguson's 'Bibliotheca Chemica' has long been one of the best known and most used of special bibliographies of the history of science, but his 'Secrets' is comparatively unknown and rarely quoted. Its rarity has been the only cause of this. 'Bibliotheca Chemica' is the catalogue of another man's (James Young's) collection: the 'Secrets' is the record of Ferguson's lifetime of collecting and study of a class of book notably rare. The 'Secrets' is a book to read as much to… Read More

London: Derek Verschoyle, 1954 2 volumes 8vo (24.5 cm), XXiV, 488 pp; [6], 600 pp. Publisher's cloth. A reprint with the new preface of the edition originally published in 1906.

Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics, 2019 4to (25.5 cm), 279 pp. Laminated wrappers. "A compendium of the authors' recently published results, this book discusses sliding mode control of uncertain nonlinear systems, with a particular emphasis on advanced and optimization based algorithms. The authors survey classical sliding mode control theory and introduce four new methods of advanced sliding mode control. They analyze classical theory and advanced algorithms, with numerical results complementing the theoretical treatment. Case studies examine applications of the algorithms to complex robotics and power grid problems. Advanced and Optimization Based Sliding Mode Control: Theory and Applications is the first book to systematize the theory of optimization based higher order sliding mode control and illustrate advanced algorithms and their applications to real problems. It presents systematic treatment of event-triggered and model based event-triggered sliding mode control… Read More

Morgan & Claypool Publishers, 2016 8vo (25 cm), X, 104 pp. Laminated wrappers. Synopsis: This is an overview of different models and mechanisms developed to describe the capture and relaxation of carriers in quantum-dot systems. Despite their undisputed importance, the mechanisms leading to population and energy exchanges between a quantum dot and its environment are not yet fully understood. The authors develop a first-order approach to such effects, using elementary quantum mechanics and an introduction to the physics of semiconductors. The book results from a series of lectures given by the authors at the Master's level.

Granta Books, 1998 8vo (24 cm), VIII, 423 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket. "A quieter scientist who never published a book or demanded her place beside male contemporaries, Dorothy Hodgkin studied X-ray crystallography and was often treated as the token female scientist in news reports. However, Hodgkin's pioneering work introduced new avenues to medical chemistry and genetics, earning her such honors such as the Nobel prize in her field." (from the publisher's description)
