This attractively illustrated book, written for the general reader, shows how man invents and designs machines and how, in turn, this improves our understanding of nature. Practically everyone depends on machines of one sort or another and they have contributed far more than is commonly realised to the progress of civilizations. The natural phenomena of the physical world have been channelled through inventions and design to useful purposes, and, in reverse, the development of machines has increased our understanding of the natural world. Although most users are concerned only with operating a

The concertos of Bach, Handel, Vivaldi and their contemporaries are among the most popular items on concert programmes, and account for large numbers of compact disc sales. It is almost always taken for granted that they are orchestral works: we are thoroughly imbued with the nineteenth-century concept of the concerto as a work whose essence is the dramatic opposition of a lone soloist and a full orchestra. But is this assumption correct for the baroque period? Might musicians of the time have regarded the concerto more as chamber music, to be played one-to-a-part? In this book a substantial b

Although transits of planets across the Sun are rare (only Mercury and Venus orbit the Sun closer than us, and so can transit the Sun’s disc) amateur astronomers can observe, record and image other kinds of transit, which are very much more frequent. Transit is in two parts, the first telling the fascinating story of the early scientific expeditions to observe transits. The second part is for practical observers, and explains how to observe transits of all sorts - even transits of aircraft as they fly between the observer and the Sun!
