A Treasury of Knitting Patterns


Barbara G. Walker - 1967
    Book by Walker, Barbara G.

Calculus


Michael Spivak - 1967
    His aim is to present calculus as the first real encounter with mathematics: it is the place to learn how logical reasoning combined with fundamental concepts can be developed into a rigorous mathematical theory rather than a bunch of tools and techniques learned by rote. Since analysis is a subject students traditionally find difficult to grasp, Spivak provides leisurely explanations, a profusion of examples, a wide range of exercises and plenty of illustrations in an easy-going approach that enlightens difficult concepts and rewards effort. Calculus will continue to be regarded as a modern classic, ideal for honours students and mathematics majors, who seek an alternative to doorstop textbooks on calculus, and the more formidable introductions to real analysis.

Among cults and religions included are: Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism, New Age Cults, the Unification Church, Baha'i Faith, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and more.

Technical Manual and Dictionary of Classical Ballet


Gail Grant - 1967
    Teacher's organizations would do well to consider the use of Miss Grant's Technical Manual as an official textbook." — Dance MagazineTeacher recommended, Gail Grant's Technical Manual has long been one of the most popular and effective ballet reference guides. Completely revised and updated, this third edition is virtually a new work and should be owned by every student, dance teacher, choreographer, and ballet enthusiast — even those who purchased the second edition. Extensive revision, expansion, and the inclusion of more than 300 new terms have added immeasurably to the value of this concise, definitive manual.Moving from "abstract ballet" and "adage, adagio" to "working leg" and "wrapped position," the book fully describes and defines over 1,100 ballet steps (saul de chat, jeté enveloppé, failli, entrechat six, etc.), movements and poses (arabesque, épaulement, attitude, en arrière, retiré, à terre, dégagé, etc.), and other expressions and concepts. For each, first a phonetic transcription is provided, then a literal translation, and finally an explanation of how the step is performed, the pose captured, or the movement executed, of how the concept fits in with actual ballet dancing, or of the purpose or function of the idea. A pronunciation guide, cross-references to alternate names for similar steps and positions that vary from the Russian to the French or Italian schools, and a bibliography are all invaluable aids.But the most important supplement is the 15-page pictorial section, drawn by the author, who is both a successful ballet teacher and dancer. Keyed to the dictionary (and vice-versa), these diagrams show clearly the exact foot, leg, arm, and body positions for the proper execution of many of the more common ballet steps and movements. This essential and easy reference is a must for every teacher, aspiring dancer, and ballet class.

The Glass Harmonica: A Lexicon of the Fantastical


Barbara Ninde Byfield - 1967
    It is no ordinary lexicon. It defies any description. Unless one were to call it the Webster of the Weird. But it is so much more than that. For it nimbly describes and defines all the inhabitants of that slightly delirious demimonde of dragons, sorcerers, and white knights that really existed a spell or so ago. When the world still believed in heroes and magic. And we did too."

Mathematics for the Nonmathematician


Morris Kline - 1967
    But there is one other motive which is as strong as any of these — the search for beauty. Mathematics is an art, and as such affords the pleasures which all the arts afford." In this erudite, entertaining college-level text, Morris Kline, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at New York University, provides the liberal arts student with a detailed treatment of mathematics in a cultural and historical context. The book can also act as a self-study vehicle for advanced high school students and laymen. Professor Kline begins with an overview, tracing the development of mathematics to the ancient Greeks, and following its evolution through the Middle Ages and the Renaissance to the present day. Subsequent chapters focus on specific subject areas, such as "Logic and Mathematics," "Number: The Fundamental Concept," "Parametric Equations and Curvilinear Motion," "The Differential Calculus," and "The Theory of Probability." Each of these sections offers a step-by-step explanation of concepts and then tests the student's understanding with exercises and problems. At the same time, these concepts are linked to pure and applied science, engineering, philosophy, the social sciences or even the arts.In one section, Professor Kline discusses non-Euclidean geometry, ranking it with evolution as one of the "two concepts which have most profoundly revolutionized our intellectual development since the nineteenth century." His lucid treatment of this difficult subject starts in the 1800s with the pioneering work of Gauss, Lobachevsky, Bolyai and Riemann, and moves forward to the theory of relativity, explaining the mathematical, scientific and philosophical aspects of this pivotal breakthrough. Mathematics for the Nonmathematician exemplifies Morris Kline's rare ability to simplify complex subjects for the nonspecialist.

Greek Philosophical Terms: A Historical Lexicon


F.E. Peters - 1967
    The book defines and translates key terms used by pre-Christian philosophers up to the time of Proclus, with special references to the writings of the philosophers as they developed nuances and new meanings for the terms. Entries are arranged in dictionary style, but knowledge of Greek is not necessary to use the book, since an English-Greek index provides the reader with Greek equivalents of English terms, with cross-references to the main text. This is the first such handbook available in English and its great value is that it isolates terms and allows the reader to follow their individual careers, while at the same time offering an evolutionary history of the concept instead of a mere definition. In his introduction Francis Peters discusses the special qualities that enabled the ancient Greeks to develop their language as an unsurpassed set of symbols for the discussion of abstract ideas.

The Elements of Dynamic Symmetry


Jay Hambidge - 1967
    He found his answer in dynamic symmetry, one of the most provocative and stimulating theories in art history. Hambidge's study of Greek art convinced him that the secret of the beauty of Greek design was in the conscious use of dynamic symmetry — the law of natural design based upon the symmetry of growth in man and in plants. But Hambidge, who was not only a theoretician but also a practicing artist, did much more than analyze classical art and its principles of design: he worked out a series of root rectangles that the artist, using the simple mathematics supplied in this book, can easily follow and apply in his own work.Originally published as a series of lessons in Hambidge's magazine, The Diagonal, this engrossing book explains all the basic principles of dynamic symmetry. Part I sets forth the fundamental rectangles with their simple divisions based on the proportioning law found in nature; Part II explains compound rectangles, many of which were taken from or suggested by analysis of objects of Greek art. Whether read for its historical importance in art theory, for its illuminating insights into Greek art, or for its practical value to today's artists and commercial designers, The Elements of Dynamic Symmetry has much to offer anyone who is interested in the principle of design.

First in Their Hearts: The Life of George Washington (The Thomas Fleming Library)


Thomas Fleming - 1967
    For many people, George Washington is the most legendary figure in American history.  His contribution to his country’s struggle through years of revolution has given him a place of honor on everything from Mount Rushmore to the dollar bill.  But who was George Washington?  What was the man behind the legend really like?New York Times bestselling author Thomas Fleming discovered that finding the truth was no simple matter.  Opinions of the man varied sharply.  Some historians made him seem more like a god than a man.  And there were writers who made up moralistic fables about him, such as the cannot-tell-a-lie tale of chopping down the cherry tree.Fleming decided that the best way to discover the real George Washington was to read what the men and women who knew him said in their letters and journals.  Fleming also read all he could find that Washington wrote to his friends and relatives.  Slowly, the remarkable person behind the legend emerged.In this book, anecdotes from friends and enemies alike give a firsthand vision of Washington’s character.  Little-known and colorful incidents – from Washington as an untutored boy of eleven to the seasoned general and statesman he grew to be – make First in Their Hearts fascinating and memorable reading.

Megalithic Sites in Britain


A. Thom - 1967
    From 1934, Thom became interested in the megalithic culture that had erected the stone circles, rows and other monuments in Neolithic and Bronze Age Britain. He began to accurately survey these sites, and in 1967 published Megalithic Sites in Britain, which claimed that the builders had been skilled surveyors and astronomers, and had used an identical and accurate unit of length to mark out their constructions throughout Britain, a length he called the Megalithic yard (2.72 feet or 0.829m).Thom also discovered that the geometry being used was based on right-angled ‘Pythagorean’ triangles, triangles whose sides were whole numbers of this same megalithic yard, or subdivisions or multiples of it. He also proposed that the builders were observing both the sun and moon using precision alignments to identified sites or natural features on a distant horizon. He even showed that they could have predicted eclipses. The book was described by archaeologist Professor Richard Atkinson as ‘a well-constructed time-bomb dropped through the letterbox of archaeology’, and it caused a huge rumpus within the profession. In effect Thom had demonstrated that there was a huge missing component in our understanding of the Megalithic culture, one that archaeologists had totally missed, and that our model of prehistory was flawed and hopelessly inadequate.

Introduction to Geochemistry


Konrad Krauskopf - 1967
    The book's goal is to make readers come to understand geochemistry as an exciting area of research, and to provide a feeling for the usefulness of geochemistry as a background for many kinds of earth science inquiry. Throughout the book, attention is continually directed to the relations between theoretical formulas and results of controlled laboratory experiments, as well as to geologic field observations. The book begins with an introduction to chemical equilibrium, concentrating on the carbonate and silicate equilibria that are important in geologic environments. Next comes a brief look at the chemistry of crystalline solids and reactions at mineral surfaces. The manifold uses of isotopes in geochemistry are given extended treatment, and the recent important studies of reaction rates and mass transfer are covered. Readers will then find detailed discussions of the geochemistry of materials at and near the earth's surface.

The New Orleans Restaurant Cookbook


Deirdre Stanforth - 1967

There are bookooodles of recipes in the remainder of the book, organized by type ("Soups," "Meat," etc.). However, the recipes are not detailed - they include ingredients and a short description of how to put it all together - so this is not a book a new cook would feel comfortable with. There are black and white photos of local personalities and the restaurants mentioned, but there are no pictures accompanying the recipes.

The Later Work of Aubrey Beardsley


Aubrey Beardsley - 1967
    Within two years after the publication of his first book of illustrations, Beardsley was the best-known artist in England. Just as swiftly, with the national outcry against Oscar Wilde, his career was over. At 26 he was dead. He left behind a remarkable quantity of first-rate work. The book illustrations, the portraits, the illustrations and covers for "The Studio" and "The Yellow Book" magazines, the book plates and title pages - these are unforgettable creations of line and "black blots", masterpieces in a graphic technique that was genuinely original and that profoundly influenced the decorative arts throughout Europe for generations to follow.This reprint of The Later Work of Aubrey Beardsley includes many of the title-pages, covers and ornaments for "The Yellow Book" as well as such famous pieces as "The Wagnerites", "La Dame aux Camelias", the Venus and Tannhauser drawings, the "Rape of Lock" series, and details from the eight "Lysistrata" drawings. It is basically a reproduction of the revised edition, but with many of the plates reprinted from a finer, earlier edition and with two color plates restored. All told, there are 174 different plates. Printed one to a page and reproduced with brilliant clarity on heavy stock that minimizes show-through, this is a book to be welcomed not only by the growing number of Beardsley enthusiasts, but by everyone who cares about the modern history of the graphic arts.

    of Bucharest & at the Univ. of Calcutta with Surendranath Dasgupta. After taking a doctorate in 1933 with a dissertation on yoga, he taught at the Univ. of Bucharest &, after the war, at the Sorbonne in Paris. From '57, he was professor of the history of religions at the Univ. of Chicago. He was at the same time a writer of fiction, appreciated especially in Western Europe, where several of his novels & volumes of short stories appeared in French, German, Spanish & Portuguese. This book is made up of the first two chapters (Part 1) of his From Primitives to Zen: A Thematic Sourcebook of the History of Religions (1967). In his typical fashion, Eliade here has created a well organized sourcebook for the study of comparative mythology & religion. The book is organized by section & includes summaries from various scholars or translations of important mythic texts. Among others, you will find here portions of the Avestas, portions of the Rig Veda & the Uppanishads, various myths of creation from around the world etc. Additionally Homeric hymns, works by Hesiod & even parts of the Koran are included.--Christopher R.
