Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Mathematics: A Text-Book for Technical Students by Bevis Brunel Low, M.A. (Cantab.), M.I.Mech.E. A substantial early twentieth-century technical mathematics textbook published by Longmans, Green and Co., London, New York & Toronto. Written for engineering and technical college students, this comprehensive work covers the mathematical principles essential to mechanical engineering, construction, technical drawing and industrial design. It contains 409 illustrations, 761 exercises, and numerous worked examples, providing a detailed insight into the rigorous mathematical training required before the age of calculators and computers. Bevis Brunel Low was a lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the Military College of Science and editor of the respected Pocket-Book for Mechanical Engineers, making this an authoritative educational text from one of the period's leading engineering educators. The numerous diagrams and practical examples remain an excellent record of historical engineering education and are of interest to collectors of mathematics, engineering and industrial history. Bound in the original blue-green cloth with gilt lettering to the spine, the volume has an attractive utilitarian appearance typical of technical books of the era. It displays well as both a reference work and a decorative piece for an academic library, engineering office or industrial-themed collection. Condition is Good. The original cloth binding shows fading, particularly to the spine, together with rubbing, general shelf wear and fraying to the head and foot of the spine. The binding remains firm and sound. Internally the pages are clean with light age toning throughout. The endpapers show light foxing and minor handling marks, but the text and illustrations remain clear and easily readable. A desirable copy for collectors of vintage mathematics, engineering history, scientific textbooks, Longmans publications, industrial heritage, and early twentieth-century educational works. It also makes an excellent reference volume for those interested in the history of technical education and mechanical engineering.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Author Will Bevis claims he found The Stone/Lee Civil War Papers described within seven years ago, while trespassing near midnight, at Jefferson's Rock, a small national park near Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. He also claims his life has been threatened over these papers which he says expose the greatest lie that the American people have ever been told and which they still believe today: that the South lost the Civil War. He says that the Federal Government quickly tried to obtain these papers through threats but that he gave them to a well known Atlanta businessman who promised to make them public--but who then double-crossed him. The one thing he has never said is that this work is a work of fiction. He claims that no one would publish it as non-fiction, and that he finally gave up hopes of ever doing so. Bevis states he decided it was better to publish this as fiction than for the public never to hear of it at all. Here then are the Stone/Lee Civil War papers. Do they expose the Greatest Civil War Lie ever told the American people? Or are they themselves the greatest Civil War lie ever told?
