Abstract

Campbell's Complete Casting Handbook: Metal Casting Processes, Techniques and Design, Second Edition provides an update to the first single-volume guide to cover modern principles and processes in such breadth and depth, while also retaining a clear, practical focus. The work has a unique viewpoint, interpreting the behavior of castings, and metals as a whole, in terms of their biofilm content, the largely invisible casting defects which control much of the structure and behavior of metals. This new edition includes new findings, many from John Campbell's own research, on crack initiat

Abstract

Hermann Zapf (1918–2015) gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Schriftgestalter, Kalligraphen und Typographen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein Werk überspannt mehr als sieben Jahrzehnte, in denen er Schriftklassiker wie Palatino, Optima und Zapfino vorgelegt hat. Daneben war Zapf als Buchgestalter, Berater, Dozent, Unternehmer, Künstler und Aktivist in Urheberrechtsfragen tätig. Die vorliegende Studie nähert sich diesem Werk auf Basis des umfassenden, an der der Herzog August Bibliothek verwahrten Eigenarchivs des Gestalters. Untersuchungsleitend ist ein feldtheoretisches Konzept von Gestaltung, das Fragen zu Entwurfstechniken und dem Einfluss von Satztechnologien aufwirft, aber auch nach der Entstehung von Zapfs Ansehen und dem Aufbau seines Beziehungsnetzwerks. Durch die Verortung Zapfs im Kontext seiner Zeitgenossen wird mit dieser Werkbiografie ein Schlaglicht auf die Typographie der 2. Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts geworfen. Hermann Zapf is one of the most productive calligraphers and typographers of the 20th century. His oeuvre offers an opportunity to analyze the possibilities, conditions, developments, and problems of the typography of his era. Based on extensive documentation, this study examines the impact of economic, aesthetic, and technological factors on his work as well as Zapf’s efforts to enhance his reputation in other fields.

Abstract

This book examines the ideas of the Founders with regard to establishing a national university and what those ideas say about their understanding of America. It offers the first study on the idea of a national university and how the Founders understood it as an important feature in an educational system that would sustain the American experiment in democracy. Their ideas about education suggest that shaping the American mind is essential to the success of the Constitution and that this is something that future generations would need to continue to do.

Abstract

"This is the first English-language biography of the relentlessley ambitious and incomparably talented printer Giambattista Bodoni (1740-1813). Born to a printing family in the small foothill town of Saluzzo, he left his comfortable life to travel to Rome in 1758 where he served as an apprentice of Cardinal Spinelli at the Propaganda Fide press. There, under the sponsorship of Abbé Ruggieri, his close friend, mentor, and protector, he learned all aspects of the printing craft. Even then, his real talent, indeed his genius, lay in type design and punchcutting, especially of the exotic foreign alphabets needed by the papal office to spread the faith. His life changed when in 1768 at age 28 he was invited by the young Duke of Parma to abandon Rome for that very French city to establish and direct the ducal press. He remained in Parma, overseeing a vast variety of printing, some of the pedestrian, but much of it glorious. And all of it making use of the typefaces he personally designe d and engraved. This fine book goes beyond Bodoni's capacity as a printer; it examines the life and times in which he lived, the turbulent and always fragile political climate, the fascinating cast of characters that enlivened the ducal court, the impressive list of visitors making the pilgrimage to Parma, and the unique position Parma occupied, politically Italian but very much French in terms of taste and culture. Even the food gets its due (and in savory detail). The illustrations - of the city, of the press, of the types and matrices - are compelling enough, but most striking are the pages from the books he designed. And especially, pages from his typographic masterpiece, the Manuale Tipografico, painstakingly prepared by his wife Ghitta, posthumously published in two volumes, and displaying the myriad typefaces in multiple sizes that Bodini had designed and engraved over a long and prolific career. Intriguing, scholarly, visually arresting, and designed and printing to Bodoni's st andards, this title belongs on the shelf of any self-respecting bibliophile. It not only makes for compelling reading, it will be considered the biography of record of a great printer for years to come."-- Publisher description.
