Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This handbook accelerates the development of analytical writing skills for high school students, students in higher education, and working professionals in a broad range of careers.

This short handbook is a simple, comprehensive guide that shows differences between descriptive writing and analytical writing, and how students and teachers work together during the process of discovery-based learning. This handbook provides nuts and bolts ideas for team projects, organizing writing, the process of writing, constructing tables, presenting figures, documenting reference lists, avoiding the barriers to clear writing, and outlines the importance of ethical issues and bias for writers.

26pp., 12mo. Stitched. In remains of original printed wraps. On aged paper, in chipped wraps, with several leaves loose. An important work in the history of eronautics by one of the great experimental physicists of the nineteenth century. Excessively scarce: no copy of this offprint in the British Library or on COPAC. 'In this lecture Rayleigh discusses the method of calculating the mechanical forces on a plane presented obliquely to a current of air, so far as this can be done. At best, the calculation is very incomplete. He describes a simple method of experimenting on the forces at various angles by means of a kind of many-bladed propeller which could have the various blades set at different angles so as to neutralize the tendency to rotation when the propeller was carried forward. He then considers the problem of the helicopter or flying machine maintained by a vertical screw'.…

4to. 1 p. Kind and interesting letter to Faulkner's literary agent and friend Ben Wasson, concerning his life at the Shegog House, that Faulkner purchased on April 12, 1930. He tells Wasson that he spent the whole summer repairing the detoriated property from 1844 and talks about his country lifestyle. Faulkner also refers to Curtis Brown, a London-based literary agent who sold his story "Red Leaves" to the English magazine Saturday Evening Post (it was publ. on October 25, 1930). "(.) I have been so busy this summer repairing the house that I write only when I need money. I have not even found time to look through my mss. and pick out something to send you. I have some stuff, I know, that will do with a little re-writing (.). It has been a fine fall. I have 13 chickens, a cow, a housefull of firewood (.) and 5 gallons of whiskey (.)". - Tipped on the first blank of: Idem. These 13. Stories/ New York, Jonathan Cape & Harrison Smith, 1931, 1st ed., (10),358p., orig. cl. - The letter folded and trifle yellowed. The backstrip of the book sl. sunned and the covers some (vague) foxing. = These 13 in first edition, first issue (w. the incorrect page number "280" instead of "208" for the story "Hair" in the list of contents), one of 299 copies numb. and signed by the author, untrimmed, silver painted top edge.…

4to. 1 p. Interesting letter to Faulkner's literary agent and friend Ben Wasson, i.a. on the death of Wasson's dog and on the wherabouts of the manuscripts of "Snopes" (refering to the family name of the characters from Faulkner's novels The Hamlet, The Town and The Mansion). "(.) I don't want to nag you to death about the mss. but that copy is the only "Snopes" I have; also some of the short stories (.)". Faulkner asks Wasson urgently to get in touch with Crump (Owen Crump, the artist who shared his apartment with Faulkner in late 1928), who apparently still has manuscripts in his possession. "(.) So will you please try to get in touch with Crump and get there and - since you are planning to go abroad - and [?] to Hal Smith, with this letter; it will explain. I don't know where Crump is. He married a Brooklyn girl whom Jim Devine knows, and Lyle Saxon knows Jim. So if you had rather, will you give this letter to Lyle and get him to do it? I know this is ask a lot of a man with his own troubles, but I can't get up there before fall, and I'd hate to lose the mss. (.). P.S. Send me the ones I did leave with you. I can make good stories our of them, I believe".…
