The Last Century of Sea Power: From Port Arthur to Chanak, 1894-1922
H. P. Willmott

Indiana University Press, 2009

The transition to modern war at sea began during the period of the Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895) and the Spanish-American War (1898) and was propelled forward rapidly by the advent of the dreadnought and the nearly continuous state of war that culminated in World War I. By 1922, most of the elements that would define sea power in the 20th century were in place. Written by one of our foremost military historians, this volume acknowledges the ...

Union Pacific: Volume II, 1894-1969

Maury Klein

Univ Of Minnesota Press, 2006

A different focus
This book focuses almost entirely on financial and corporate politics of the Union Pacific and how that plays out with other railroads and the government. Less than 20% of this book is devoted to locomotives, freight cars, track, issues of building new lines, technology, passengers, stations, the products shipped, dispatching, or what it was like to work on the railroad. You won't find ...

Black-Body Theory and the Quantum Discontinuity, 1894-1912

3 reviews
Thomas S. Kuhn

University Of Chicago Press, 1987

How the Quantum came to be
Excellent book, as Kuhn's usually are, on the origin of quantum theory. "Everyone" knows Planck arrived at the quantum by studying black-body radiation, but what you are never told is *why* he was doing that! Kuhn reaches back as to why Planck was, and has an interesting story to tell for it (the question of thermodynamic irreversability vs reversability in classical mechanics). Another major ...

Under a Flaming Sky: The Great Hinckley Firestorm of 1894 (P.S.)

Harper Perennial, 2007

Flaming Skies, Heroes and Victims
"Under A Flaming Sky," by Daniel James Brown, is an intense, enthralling book detailing the events of the 1894 Hinckley firestorm. The event itself has been buried in our national memory, part of the great fires that happened at the end of the 19th century, like Peshtigo and others, unlike those of Chicago and major cities. Occasionally it is brought up at its anniversary in Minnesota by the ...

The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895: Perceptions, Power, and Primacy

5 reviews
S. C. M. Paine

Cambridge University Press, 2005

Japan on top now, but will China be next?
Paine's book shows how Japan used Westernizing reforms and the emerging International System to defeat China and become the dominant Great Power in East Asia. Almost immediately, the perception of Japan as a poor and weak island nation changed. The European powers and the United States began to treat Japan as an equal. Within ten years, Japan went on to defeat Imperial Russia, the first time an ...

The Politics Of Aristotle: A Revised Text, With Introduction, Analysis And Commentary (1894)

1 review
Franz Susemihl, R. D. Hicks

Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2007

If You Don't Want To Live In A State, You Are Either A God Or A Beast
I read this book for a graduate seminar on Aristotle. Politics is one of Aristotle's most prescient works that had a profound impact on our Founding fathers. Nicomachean Ethics (EN) is part of political knowledge. Politics regulates when virtue does not. Laws are created for people who are not virtuous. Polis= "city or state." Humans live in society, so virtue ethics is not just for ...

The End of Books (1894)

MSI Publishing, 2007

Kindle, circa 1894
This short ebook, 208 locations long, is a transcript of an impromptu speech given in 1894. If you use your imagination a bit, it predicts the advent of radio, tv, ipods, hearing problems caused by the former, and the end of paper books. This is great fun for fans of modern gadgets in general and the Kindle in particular. It's remarkable how well he was able to see into the future.

DK ADULT, 2003

Much more than a coffee table book
If you enjoy watching or just knowing about cinema, this book is for you. For those of us that are old enough to remember, we are whisked back to what we were doing at the time and remember the impact of the first of a series or the first of a new technique. For the rest of us it gives us the backgrounds that we did hot have the privilege of seeing first hand. Being divided into years makes it ...

Blackfeet: Artists of the Northern Plains : The Scriver Collection of Blackfeet Indian Artifacts and Related ...

Bob Scriver

Lowell Press (OR), 1991

This book is an uninterpreted direct view of local materials
Before Bob Scriver sent this collection of materials off to the Edmonton Provincial Museum to be preserved for expert study, he personally paid for these photos to be made and for this book to be printed-- not so much to sell books, as to make sure all Blackfeet or persons who cared about Blackfeet could hold the collection in their hands. Scriver had known the Carberry family and knew that ...

Firearms of the American West 1866-1894

1 review
Louis A. Garavaglia, Charles G. Worman

University Press of Colorado, 1998

one of the best,,,,
This is one of the best books on a rather broad subject matter. The authors have done a commendable job of covering the availability and use of firearms during one of the most dramatic times in American history. Not only do they document the use of major manufacturers products, they also cover the use and possession of lesser known products as well. This is a well written and entertaining ...
