    Trade Paperback. Condición: Mint. First Edition. This copy is in mint, unread condition, bright, white, tight and square, in illustrated card covers as issued. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. Where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased charges will be quoted. Among all the books written about Cornwall and the Cornish china Clay industry this one is outstandingly different. In the beginning i.e. in the late 1700's the only customers for china clay were the potteries, mostly in the midlands - nearly 300 miles away, and as there were no railways and no usable road system the only way to deliver the clay was by sea. This then is the story of the wooden sailing ships and their menfolk who provided this vital link between the clay producers and the clay users throughout the 19th century. Ref RR4.

    Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume aims to document the most important worldwide accomplishments in converging knowledge and technology, including converging platforms, methods of convergence, societal implications, and governance in the last ten years. Convergence in knowledge, technology, and society is the accelerating, transformative interaction among seemingly distinct scientific disciplines, technologies, and communities to achieve mutual compatibility, synergism, and integration, and through this process to create added value for societal benefit. It is a movement that is recognized by scientists and thought leaders around the world as having the potential to provide far-reaching solutions to many of today's complex knowledge, technology, and human development challenges. Four essential and interdependent convergence platforms of human activity are defined in the first part of this report: nanotechnology-biotechnology-information technology and cognitive science ('NBIC') foundational tools; Earth-scale environmental systems; human-scale activities; and convergence methods for societal-scale activities. The report then presents the main implications of convergence for human physical potential, cognition and communication, productivity and societal outcomes, education and physical infrastructure, sustainability, and innovative and responsible governance. As a whole, the report presents a new model for convergence. To effectively take advantage of this potential, a proactive governance approach is suggested. The study identifies an international opportunity to develop and apply convergence for technological, economic, environmental, and societal benefits. The panel also suggests an opportunity in the United States for implementing a program aimed at focusing disparate R and D energies into a coherent activity - a 'Societal Convergence Initiative'. This study received input from leading academic, industry, government, and NGO experts from the United States, LatinAmerica, Europe, Asia, and Australia.

    First edition of this guide to fly fishing, covering everything from equipment and techniques to the different types of fish that can be caught. Octavo, bound in half morocco over cloth covered boards with gilt titles to the spine, frontispiece, with colored plates representing about forty of the most useful flies. In very good condition. Fly fishing is a method of angling in which fish are caught using an artificial âflyâ cast with a weighted line and specialized rod, emphasizing precision, timing, and the controlled imitation of insect life. Beyond its technical demandsâ"casting mechanics, reading currents, and matching local hatchesâ"fly fishing has developed a distinct cultural tradition in which skill is framed as attentiveness to ecology and restraint toward the natural world.

Four essential and interdependent convergence platforms of human activity are defined in the first part of this report: nanotechnology-biotechnology-information technology and cognitive science ('NBIC') foundational tools; Earth-scale environmental systems; human-scale activities; and convergence methods for societal-scale activities. The report then presents the main implications of convergence for human physical potential, cognition and communication, productivity and societal outcomes, education and physical infrastructure, sustainability, and innovative and responsible governance. As a whole, the report presents a new model for convergence. To effectively take advantage of this potential, a proactive governance approach is suggested. The study identifies an international opportunity to develop and apply convergence for technological, economic, environmental, and societal benefits. The panel also suggests an opportunity in the United States for implementing a program aimed at focusing disparate R and D energies into a coherent activity - a 'Societal Convergence Initiative'. This study received input from leading academic, industry, government, and NGO experts from the United States, Latin America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. 616 pp. Englisch.
