Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Sir John Frederick William Herschel, 1st Baronet KH, FRS (March 7, 1792 - May 11, 1871) was an English mathematician, astronomer, chemist, and experimental photographer/inventor, who in some years also did valuable botanical work. He was the son of astronomer Sir Friedrich Wilhelm Herschel and the father of 12 children. Herschel originated the use of the Julian day system in astronomy. He named seven moons of Saturn and four moons of Uranus. He made many contributions to the science of photography, and investigated colour blindness and the chemical power of ultraviolet rays. Herschel was born in Slough, Berkshire, and studied shortly at Eton College and St John's College, Cambridge. He graduated as Senior wrangler in 1813. It was during his time as an undergraduate that he became friends with Charles Babbage and George Peacock. He took up astronomy in 1816, building a reflecting telescope with a mirror 18 inches (460 mm) in diameter and with a 20-foot (6.1 m) focal length. Between 1821 and 1823 he re-examined, with James South, the double stars catalogued by his father. For this work he was presented in 1826 with t...http://booksllc.net/?l=de ... Read more

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : William Henry Fox Talbot (11 février 1800 - 17 septembre 1877) est un scientifique britannique, devenu l'un des pionniers de la photographie. Il était à la fois mathématicien, physicien et philologue ; également intéressé par la botanique, la philosophie et l'archéologie, il pratiquait plusieurs langues. Talbot commença à s'intéresser aux images obtenues avec une chambre noire en 1833. Il est l'inventeur du calotype, ou talbotype, qu'il breveta en 1841. Ce procédé photographique permettait d'obtenir de multiples images positives sur papier à partir d'un seul négatif papier. Talbot mena ses recherches en parallèle avec celles de Daguerre. Après l'annonce de l'invention du daguerréotype en 1839, il tenta de faire reconnaître l'antériorité de ses travaux. Il n'y parvint pas mais son procédé du négatif-positif devint la base de la photographie argentique moderne. Il fut lauréat de la Royal Medal en 1838 pour ses travaux sur le calcul des intégrales. Talbot fut également l'auteur du premier livre illustré de photographies, Pencil of Nature (Le Crayon de la nature), paru en 1844. En 1833, lors d'un séjour au lac de Côme en Italie, Talbot tenta de reproduire des paysages en s'aidant d'une camera lucida, ou chambre claire, pour tracer des esquisses. Mais cette technique supposait de dessiner, ce qu'il n'appréciait pas. Il chercha alors à obtenir des images durables par un autre moyen et débuta ses expériences photographiques. Son premier procédé s'appelait « dessin photogénique » (photo...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Excerpt: Sir Austen Henry Layard GCB, PC (pronounced ) (5 March 1817 5 July 1894) was a British traveller, archaeologist, cuneiformist, art historian, draughtsman, collector, author, politician and diplomat, best known as the excavator of Nimrud. Layard was born in Paris, France, to a family of Huguenot descent. His father, Henry PJ Layard, of the Ceylon Civil Service, was the son of Charles Peter Layard, dean of Bristol, and grandson of Daniel Peter Layard, the physician. Through his mother, a daughter of Nathaniel Austen, banker, of Ramsgate, he was partly Spanish descent. His uncle was Benjamin Austen, a London solicitor and close friend of Benjamin Disraeli in the 1820s and 1830s. Much of Layard's boyhood was spent in Italy, where he received part of his schooling, and acquired a taste for the fine arts and a love of travel; but he was at school also in England, France and Switzerland. After spending nearly six years in the office of his uncle, Benjamin Layard, he was tempted to leave England for Sri Lanka (Ceylon) by the prospect of obtaining an appointment in the civil service, and he started in 1839 with the intention of making an overland journey across Asia. After wandering for many months, chiefly in Persia, and having abandoned his intention of proceeding to Ceylon, he returned in 1842 to Constantinople, where he made the acquaintance of Sir Stratford Canning, the British Ambassador, who employed him in various unofficial diplomatic missions in European Turkey. In 1845, encouraged a...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=144475 ... Read more

Excerpt:Alan Ralph Millard (born 1937) is Rankin Professor Emeritus of Hebrew and Ancient Semitic Languages , and Honorary Senior Fellow (Ancient Near East), at the School of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology (SACE) in the University of Liverpool .

While working at the British Museum 1961-1964, he rediscovered the Epic of Atrahasis , which had lain unrecognised in a drawer for some decades. From 1964 to 1970 he was Librarian at Tyndale Library, Cambridge, and taught Akkadian for a year at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in the University of London . In 1970 he was appointed Rankin Lecturer in Hebrew and Ancient Semitic Languages at Liverpool. He was a Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS) in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1984, studying in a team led by Yigael Yadin . His main interest lies in Semitic epigraphy , and in editing Akkadian cuneiform tablets and Aramaic inscriptions. Scribal practices in the ancient Near East remain a dominant concern for him; the importance he ascribes to this topic stems largely from his belief as an Evangelical Christian in the essential historicity of t... ...
