Excerpt: Derby School -The school was re-founded in the 12th century by a local magnate, Walkelin de Derby (also called Walkelin de Ferrieres, or de Ferrers) and his wife, Goda de Toeni, who gave their own house to an Augustinian priory called Darley Abbey to be used for the school. Local legend has it that it was the second oldest school in England. However, there is no firm information as to the site of the original school. While Derby School was in existence almost continuously for more than eight centuries, it was closed for a few years as a result of the Dissolution of the Monasteries. Magna Britannia says of Derby School - The former Derby School Building in St Peter's Church Yard, DerbyFollowing the extinction of Darley Abbey, on 21 May 1554, Queen Mary I by a Royal Charter, and in return for a payment of £260 13s 4d, granted the corporation of Derby several properties and endowments which had belonged to Darley Abbey, the College of All Saints, St Michael's Church, a...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=6592123 ...

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Galileo Galilei (Italian pronunciation: ; 15 February 1564 8 January 1642) was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, and flautist who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism. Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy," the "father of modern physics," the "father of science," and "the Father of Modern Science." Stephen Hawking says, "Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science." The motion of uniformly accelerated objects, taught in nearly all high school and introductory college physics courses, was studied by Galileo as the subject of kinematics. His contributions to observational astronomy include the telescopic confirmation of the phases of Venus, the discovery of the four largest satellites of Jupiter (named the Galilean moons in his honour), and the observation and analysis of sunspots. Galileo also worked in applied science and technology, inventing an improved military compass and other instr...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=11945 ... Read more

Product Description
A popular booklet examining the psychology of each zodiac sign, with the added significance of cardinal, mutable, and fixed signs. Features illustrations of the Zodiac from 'Atlas Celeste' by John Flamsteed. It has always seemed to me that character analysis is the most important branch of astrology. Evangeline Adams once told me that her clients nearly always asked one or more of three questions. 'Will I be rich?' 'Will I be healthy?' 'Or will I find a compatible marriage partner?' The third question comes in two parts: 'Will I get the right one, or will I get rid of the one I have?' While this attitude toward astrology is understandable, it seems as though the stars in their course have something more important to tell us about ourselves. Those born under the various signs of the zodiac have special lessons to learn. As most of our problems originate in ourselves, it is useful to discover, if possible, the best way to use our planetary endowments. Parents should have horoscopes of their children, for the potentials of character can be found from the chart long before they can be recognized in the disposition of a small child. There would not be so many misfits if we could assist by recognizing aptitudes and abilities. While it is true that emotional relationships are likely to transcend astrological judgment, some unfortunate marriages or alliances could be avoided. Astrodiagnosis will help to determine functional or organic hazards, and is an excellent way to prevent ailments form arising as well as the psychological aspects of illness. ... Read more

A small compendium of the Zodiac and their Attributes
Originally published in 1929, Hall's Psychoanalyzing the Twelve Zodiacal Types is a somewhat misleading title. By reading Halls other works, one will gather he has a solid understanding of human psychology. But this book does not venture too far into the psychological world, and for the most part remains an astrology book more than a psychology book. The book is laid out typically, with each sign getting its own chapter, and in groups according to their class (i.e. cardinal, fixed, common). I feel that the descriptions for each zodiac is not too far from what you would find in other well written (and understood) astrology books. This book is concise and to the point and makes no claims of right/wrong, better/worse. The use of this book is more for those who are practicing nativities and the like and who are, perhaps, looking for an alternate means of assimilating information. The zodiacal descriptions are all based on the Sun sign which must be considered when making an accurate reading of a horoscope. While the information in the book is probably just as accurate as most other authorities, I would not say this book is a neccessity. ... Read more
