Galicki, Wolfgang H.U.MareMagnum

Phaeton - A Forgotten Myth

1986147 pages including index. Prehistoric dates and more dates have been computed to provide admissibility for the mythic history of Homo sapiens in a framework of recorded mythological events, as well as the arrival of a planetoid which triggered the last Ice Age and the Flood, its hypothetical crash in northeastern Canada that brought forth Halley's comet. Atlantis and Mu are refurbished, and the existence of ancient 'atomic piles' in some pyramids of Egypt proclaimed by the author. In all, a think-piece that challenges the imagination of every reader of this controversial thesis! Includes occasional black and white illustrations. Minor rubbing to top corner of front cover. Rubber stamp upon front cover and top edge. Several rubber stamps upon title page. Moderate wear. Book

THE PRACTICAL BRASS AND IRON FOUNDER'S GUIDE: A TREATISE ON BRASS FOUNDING, MOULDING, THE METALS AND THEIR ALLOYS, ETC. (With) Recent Improvements in the Manufacture of Iron, Steel by the Bessemer Process. Fifth Edition Revised with Extensive Additions

1890301 p. + Important publisher's catalog (32 p.). 12 mo. Original full cloth binding, decorated in blind and lettered in gold. A crisp copy of an extremely useful work, detailing the skills and technologies that helped create the Industrial Revolution. These 19th century trade guides are usually found in poor condition. This copy is a remarkable exception. The publisher, Henry Carey Baird was an interesting fellow. Born in Bridesburg, near Philadelphia, in 1825, he became a partner in the publishing house of Carey & Hart in 1845, and in 1849 established the new house of Henry Carey Baird & Company. They soon became the premier technical and industrial publishers in the nation. He was at first a Whig , and subsequently a Republican in politics. but in 1875 he joined the National Greenback Party and became one of its leaders. He wrote extensively on questions relation to the national economy, advocating views similar to those of Henry C. Carey, his uncle. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W145
