1938réf. 233971938. Natural DisastersEngineering Niagara Falls bridge collapse photo archive documenting the failure of the Honeymoon Bridge during the catastrophic ice jam of January 1938 one of the most dramatic engineering failures in the history of the Niagara frontier. Built in 1898 as the Upper Steel Arch Bridge and renamed the Honeymoon Bridge in 1937 the structure connected Niagara Falls New York and Niagara Falls Ontario carrying tourists automobiles and cross-border traffic directly beside the falls. During the severe winter of 1938 massive accumulations of ice in the Niagara River created extraordinary pressure against the bridge's steel arch and supports. On January 27 1938 after days of strain and closure to traffic the bridge collapsed into the frozen river below. The destruction ended forty years of continuous operation at one of the most heavily visited tourist and transportation corridors in North America and directly led to construction of the Rainbow Bridge completed in 1941. The archive captures both the frozen landscape that preceded the disaster and the immediate aftermath including crowds gathered along the edge of the falls observing the twisted remains of the bridge lodged in the ice. Photo archive of 13 black and white silver gelatin photographs approximately 3"x5" to 3 x 4.5 inches Niagara Falls New York and Ontario circa January-February 1938. Images show the Horseshoe Falls and American Falls almost entirely surrounded by ice formations with enormous frozen shelves extending across the river basin and dense accumulations of icicles hanging from the cliff faces beside pedestrian overlooks. Several scenes show groups of bundled spectators standing near railings at the edge of the falls while the collapsed steel arch of the Honeymoon Bridge lies broken and partially submerged downstream. Two photographs focus closely on the twisted central truss section bent sharply downward into the ice-choked river while another wider view shows the destroyed span framed directly beside the falls emphasizing the scale of the collapse relative to the landscape. Additional views depict the intact approach structures before failure heavy ice movement beneath the bridge and broad panoramas of the frozen gorge crowded with drifting ice masses. Four photos unmarked appear to show the icy conditions preceding the collapse while the remaining nine stamped "Feb 10 1938" show the aftermath of the disaster. The collapse exposed the fatal weakness of the Honeymoon Bridge's low placement in the gorge where winter ice could press directly against its abutments. Authorities closed the bridge before the final collapse and workers escaped before the steel arch failed resulting in a dramatic but ultimately non-deadly engineering failure. The Rainbow Bridge opened in 1941 about 500 feet from the old site with higher clearance and a design better suited to ice and flood pressure. The event permanently altered the architectural and transportation structure of Niagara Falls with projects designed around ice floes as a primary structural threat not a seasonal inconvenience. Light curling consistent with age and handling; images remain clear and well preserved overall. Overall in very good condition. unknown

2009br. Un libro sul modo di valutare la forza di una mano di bridge. In esso, infatti, viene privilegiato l'enorme valore della forza distribuzionale. Redatto come un corso di lezioni, peraltro informale, risulta di elevato valore didattico e di piacevole lettura, soprattutto nella parte in cui vengono sfatati i tanti miti del gioco della carta.

2002TULLIO PIRONTI 2002 681 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: SEGNI DEL TEMPO FRONTE RETRO IN COPERTINA, PER IL RESTO OTTIMO. Michel Zévaco (Ajaccio, 1º febbraio 1860, Eaubonne, 8 agosto 1918) è stato un romanziere, insegnante, giornalista, editore e attivista anarchico francese. Degno successore di Alexandre Dumas, Michel Zévaco, popolarissimo autore di feuilletons a cavallo tra Otto e Novecento, ci offre con Nostradamus, il primo romanzo del ciclo da lui dedicato alla figura del celebre autore delle profetiche Centurie. L'Autore dipinge il ritratto, cupo e sanguinoso, della Francia di Caterina de' Medici, delle guerre di religione, della caccia alle streghe. In un susseguirsi di duelli, agguati notturni, rapimenti, magie, evocazione di morti, prende corpo la trama della ventennale vendetta, con cui l'ormai anziano Nostradamus vuol punire coloro che gli hanno rovinato la giovinezza e sottratto Marie, la giovane sposa: re Enrico II di Valois, e i suoi infidi amici, Roncherolles e Saint-André. Recentemente ristampato in Francia dalla casa editrice Laffont, il romanzo ha riscosso un enorme successo.
