Hardback. Zustand: Good. The rich and fascinating history of the scientific revolution of the Victorian Era, leading to transformative advances in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The Victorians invented the idea of the future. They saw it as an undiscovered country, one ripe for exploration and colonization. And to get us there, they created a new way of ordering and transforming nature, built on grand designs and the mass-mobilization of the resources of the British Empire. With their expert culture of accuracy and precision, they created telegraphs and telephones, electric trams and railways, built machines that could think, and devised engines that could reach for the skies. When Cyrus Field's audacious plan to lay a telegraph cable across the Atlantic finally succeeded in 1866, it showed how science, properly disciplined, could make new worlds. As crowds flocked to the Great Exhibition of 1851 and the exhibitions its success inaugurated, they came to see the future made fact--to see the future being built before their eyes. In this rich and absorbing book, a distinguished historian of science tells the story of how this future was made. From Charles Babbage's dream of mechanizing mathematics to Isambard Kingdom Brunel's tunnel beneath the Thames to George's Cayley's fantasies of powered flight and Nikola Tesla's visions of an electrical world, it is a story of towering personalities, clashing ambitions, furious rivalries and conflicting cultures--a rich tapestry of remarkable lives that transformed the world beyond recognition and ultimately took mankind to the Moon.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From electric corsets to questioning the existence of God, the story of the profound effects electricity had uponthe lives and the worldviewof the VictoriansAlthough electricity was known about by the ancient Egyptians, it was not until the Victorian era that its potential really began to be realized.

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Mickey & Minnie open a new Summer camp prepared to teach campers and readers alike to unplug and reconnect with the magic of the outdoors. In this new fully illustrated hardcover picture book, Mickey & Minnie will be opening a new Summer camp! While preparing for the campers Goofy worries that the abundance of frogs on the lake will get in the way of his Art of Water Sports club. The solution is obvious: plastic flamingos! But Goofy's flamingos are just the start of his humorous (and ultimately harmless) attempts to control the natural world. Every time Goofy solves his problem with one animal, another shows up in its absence. Mickey & Minnie help Goofy see that his actions caused a big stink and that it is best to live in harmony with nature. The story showcases how every animal has a role to play in their environment, even if that role isn't always clear to people. In the end, natural balance is restored to the camp and Mickey & Friends prepare for the rest of an amazing summer. This book was illustrated by the official voice of Mickey himself, Bret Iwan. The story will interweave an inspiring tale with playful vintage visuals, that take inspiration from Iwan's previously released National Parks-inspired Mickey Mouse screen prints. At the end of the story, there will be a spread of fun facts about the animals featured in the story, created in collaboration with Disney's Animal, Science, and Environment Team.
