Buku Papyrus

Buku Papyrus: The invention of books in the ancient world oleh Irene Vallejo. Petikan - link : Long before books were mass-produced, scrolls hand copied on reeds pulled from the Nile were the treasures of the ancient world. Emperors and Pharaohs were so determined to possess them that they dispatched emissaries to the edges of earth to bring them back. When Mark Antony wanted to impress Cleopatra, he knew that gold and priceless jewels would mean nothing to her. So, what did her give her? Books for her library - two hundred thousand, in fact. The long and eventful history of the written word shows that books have always been and will always be a precious - and precarious - vehicle for civilization. Terbitan **22 amazon USD18 - - - - -

Antara perkembangan surveying yang berlaku di Canada sekitar 1964 adalah: 1964: Horizontal control for Crustal dynamics Small geodetic networks were established to detect horizontal crustal motion, notably near Quebec City (photo), between opposite shores of the St. Lawrence River between Quebec City and Tadoussac, across the Strait of Georgia and across Robeson channel between northern Ellesmere Island and Greenland. 1964: Sea-surface gravimetry A program of sea-surface gravity measurements was initiated by the Atlantic Geoscience Centre at Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. In this technique the gravimeter has to be mounted on a special gyro-stabilized platform designed to minimize the effects of the ship's motion on the gravity readings. During the next eighteen years some 295,000 sea-surface measurements would be made in this program alone, a major contribution to Canadian knowledge of gravity off the eastern and Arctic seaboards.
