Paperback. Etat : Good. This book traces the diffusion trajectory of the second and third generation of British steam engines, the Watt and high-pressure models, covering the period 1774 to 1870. It begins by subjecting to econometric analysis the latest version of Dr. Kanefsky's database on 18th century steam engines coming up with an upward revision of the total amount of horsepower installed by 1800. Subsequent chapters delve into the determinants of the diffusion process through the third quarter of the 19th century relating to engines used both in mining and industry as well as transportation (railways, steam cars). The book's main contribution to the literature lies in drawing material from a very large volume of 18th- and 19th-century sources found in the Dibner Library of Rare Books, Smithsonian, and by utilizing a fair amount of technical literature pertaining to the economic factors driving the diffusion process. This great expansion of the empirical material has led to bringing multiple revisions to the work of other authors on the key aspects and determinants of the diffusion process. In conjunction with the publication by the author of an earlier monograph on the first generation of steam engines, the Newcomen model, the present study completes the task of offering the most comprehensive account of the preeminent and most strategic technology of the British Industrial Revolution.This book will appeal to students, scholars, and researchers of economic history and history of technology, interested in a better understanding of the industrial revolution in general and the role of British steam engines in particular.…

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. "D. H. Lawrence : Letters to Thomas and Adele Seltzer", was edited by Gerald M. Lacy, and published by Black Sparrow Press in 1976, as the First Trade Edition. THIS IS A CLEAN AND SERVICEABLE DE-ACCESSIONED LIBRARY COPY (X-LIB)). Thomas Seltzer was the publisher who introduced the works of D. H. Lawrence to American readers. For his efforts on behalf of literature he was hounded and attacked by the notorious New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. One of the books under attack was "Women in Love". Seltzer went bankrupt fighting such censorship. The letters in this book (which also includes correspondence from both of the Seltzers to Lawrence) are revelatory concerning the cordial relations between the Seltzers and Lawrence, and the concerns of all for the problems surrounding publication of Lawrence's works. The text is accompanied by photographs of D. H. and Hilda Lawrence , the Seltzers, and others close to both parties. There are also nice pictures of the original dust-jackets of some of Lawrence's books. Altogether, an important, fascinating read. The book also contains "D. H. Lawrence : a biographical Narrative" by Alexandra Lee Levin and Lawrence L. Levin. Once again, please note : This is a de-accessioned library book, but one that has seen little use, and which displays only mild wear. It does, of course, have library markings (but modestly applied) and a pocket on the rear free end-paper. TITLE : Letters to Thomas and Adele Seltzer AUTHOR : D. H.
