This booklet gives a brief introduction to the concept of plate tectonics and complements the visual and written information in This Dynamic Planet (see Further reading), a map published in 1994 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Smithsonian Institution. The booklet highlights some of the people and discoveries that advanced the development of the theory and traces its progress since its proposal. Although the general idea of plate tectonics is now widely accepted, many aspects still continue to confound and challenge scientists. The earth-science revolution launched by the theory of plate tectonics is not finished.

This subject has a rich history attached to it. In order to understand the full discovery and development of moving pictures, we must study the various elements of not only this medium, but all others which are related to cinematography and especially photography. This timeline will provide more than a substantial glimpse into the discoveries of these elements which include; optics, pinhole images, camera obscura, persistence of vision, showmen, magic lanterns, light, lenses, light-sensitive substances, phantasmagoria, motion study analysis, photography, and stop-action series photography in the overall growth of photography and ultimately, the movement of pictures.

The New England Wireless and Steam Museum is composed of five buildings as shown in the image below. The red building on the left houses the wireless collection. The next building to the right is the Massie Wireless System station, "PJ", built in 1907. It is the oldest surviving working wireless station in the world. It was moved to this site from Point Judith, RI.to avoid demolition. The building in the center houses the stationary steam engine collection. This collection includes the only surviving George H. Corliss engine running under steam today. The next building to the right is the Mayes building named in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Thorn L. Mayes, longtime supporters of the museum. The Mayes building houses the library and the collection of steam engine models. The building at the far right is a meeting house built in 1822. This building was also moved to this site to avoid demolition. The meeting house is available for meetings and weddings, etc.

This site has been set up as a service to all those dedicated people, who are endeavoring to ensure the history of the typewriter lives on for future generations to enjoy and learn from.
In a country like Australia so removed from the rest of the world this discussion forum hopefully will add to the store of information available.
Around the turn of the century, many machines found their way down under with the tremendous pressures of a developing vibrant economy, which rocketed Australia to a very high standard of living.
How come the writing machine with its rich fascinating history which so influenced commerce, the emancipation of women, is virtually unknown? 1000's of patents were filed during the 19th century covering 100's of the most intriguing designs and we just take the writing machine for granted! Around the turn of the century the typewriter was like the computer was ten years ago, the commercial pressures were tremendous with companies floating and going broke every day trying to gain market share and to devise the perfect writing machine. Who invented it ? Why? When? Where?
Everyone knows what an early Daimler was like but the first commercial typewriter ?

The Milestones of Science" is a collection of first editions by world famous early scientists that form a veritable history of science, acquired in the late 1930s by the Museum of Science in Buffalo, New York, and now housed by the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library.
The relevance of science can hardly be overstated; it dominates the world in which we live. The discoveries made by the early modern astronomers Nicolaus Copernicus, Johannes Kepler, Galileo Galilei and Sir Isaac Newton helped us to understand the universe in which we live. The early studies of the first modern physicians Andreas Vesalius, William Harvey, Edward Jenner, Joseph Lister and Louis Pasteur made it possible for us to live longer and healthier lives than ever before. The current era owes a profound debt to the dozens of early scientists in fields as various as geology, biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics, whose works are represented in the Milestones Collection. Without their pioneering efforts, it is doubtful if the new Age of the Computer would have been possible.

The Institution was founded in 1824 with the aim of furthering "the advancement of literature, science and art". It received its Royal Charter in 1837 and rapidly acquired a prestigious reputation, particularly in scientific circles.
The Institution had amongst its members pioneers who amassed collections of international importance. Geology, natural history and ethnology are particularly well represented.

The project goal is to build a web-based collaborative system and digital library for the history of five contemporary technical fields. To that end, we are adapting and integrating the ArsDigita Collaborative System (specifically, its cousin openACS), and the Perseus digital library system. We gratefully acknowledge ArsDigita and Perseus, as well as the larger open source community, for making their software available to projects like ours.

Welcome to the most comprehensive website for the history of phrenology—the most popular Victorian science. This site provides an accurate overview of phrenology, the largest collection of phrenological images, and many digitized primary sources relevant not only to the history of phrenology, but also to the history of naturalism and evolutionary thought.

I størst oplag kom dog den klassiske tier, der ligesom plovmanden skiftede tekst fra den viste til "Nationalbankens sedler indløses med guld efter gældende lov" i 1930. Nederst vises Heilmanns første udkast til tieren. Der er sket væsentlige ændringer mellem det og det endelige resultat.

When one thinks of an antique telephone, the image of an old crank wall phone generally comes to mind. Since its invention in 1876 the telephone evolved along with the technology of the time. Not only was there an evolution in the instruments but many different manufacturers produced various styles and a certain uniqueness to their wall and desk telephones. The uniqueness of the old telephones has become very attractive and many people have found these to be interesting collectables. The pages on this site will provide links to the history of the telephone and the histories of a number of current telephone companies.
