Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. On Sunday, December 7, 1941, shortly before 8 a.m. the men on board the USS Arizona were preparing for Sunday morning services, planning shore leave, writing letters home and visiting with shipmates. Little did they know that the day's events would forever change their lives. As the Japanese attacked, this quiet morning turned into a nightmare many would carry with them the rest of their lives. Many more would not survive the devastating attack. "General Quarters" was sounded and the men scrambled for their battle stations. Within minutes, the men were firing back at the swarm of Japanese planes. Facing, fires, black smoke, explosions and the continual strafing from the Japanese planes, these men remained at their respective battle stations. Many died instantly when a bomb went through the after deck and landed in the black powder room igniting a huge explosion and an immense fire ball that traveled throughout the ship. Faced with badly burned men wandering about on deck, those men that survived the initial explosion, heroically helped evacuate the wounded all the while dodging the bullets from the attacking planes and the fires roaring about them. By this time, the fuel oil from the ship's tanks had escaped and covered the water around the ship. This oil promptly caught fire making "abandon ship" into a treacherous deed. Many of those that jumped were caught up in the fires and fuel oil. This made it impossible to swim to safety. This book is a memorial to the men that were serving on the USS Arizona that fateful morning. Who were these men and what did they experience. This is their story. This book is about the men that were serving on board the USS Arizona when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Who were these men and what did they experience? This is their story.

Satirisches Gedicht aus der Zeit des Englischen Bürgerkrieges. Samuel Butler (1612-1680), erklärter Royalist, setzte vor allem die "Roundheads", die Anhänger des Parlaments ins Lächerliche, und, wenn auch in milderer Form, die Partei Karls I. Mit der Titelfigur, Ritter Sir Hudibras (Presbyterianer) schuf Butler eine Titelfigur von pastoser Grobheit, die ständig mit seinem Knappen, einem Independenten, im Streit liegt. Diese "schärfste und derbste Verspottung des Puritanismus seiner Zeit" (KNLL III,424) soll sogar von König Karl II. häufiger zitiert worden sein. - William Hogarth (1697-1764), Maler u. Graphiker, prangerte in brillanten sozialkritischen Gemälden u. Kupferstichen die (Un-) Sitten u. Gebräuche seiner Zeit schonungslos u. mit beißender Ironie an. - Leder beschabt, Vorderdeckel lose, Besitzvermerk von alter Hand aV (Richard Kelsall's Book 1771).…

Size: 8vo. xx, 280, [xxv (index)] pp. + xxix folding plates. Modern leather with old marbled boards, uncut. Tables. From the collection of Christopher Hogwood (1941-2014). Including a table showing the rates of beating of tempered 5ths on the various notes of the scale calculated for a series of pitches or performance the temperaments used are mean-tone and Smith's own system of equal harmony. It is significant that his approach to the problem of tuning a keyboard instrument was through the judgment of the musician's ear: he tried out his equal harmony on the harpsichord, and the first organ of the Foundling Hospital, with its system of alternative notes actuated by selective stops, is said to have been built under his directions. In several striking respects he anticipated Helmholtz, who, however, did not know his work. Second edition. RISM B/VI/2 p.788. Gregory p.255.
