Product Description
Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Geber," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Geber in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Geber when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Geber, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. ... Read more

Product Description
Alchemy was a subject of no small controversy in the Middle Ages. To somescholastics, alchemy seemed to arrogate the power of divinity itself in itsclaim that man could replicate the products of nature by means of art; othersviewed alchemy as a pure technology, unworthy of inclusion in a curriculumdevoted to the study of scientiae.The Summa perfectionis of Pseudo-Geber, written around the end of the13th century as a defense of the art, became `the Bible of the medievalalchemists,'and was still being used as late as the 17th century. The presentwork contains a critical edition, annotated translation, and commentary of theSumma. ... Read more

The Summa Perfectionis
The present study approaches the Summa perfectionis in a series of analytical chapters, each dealing with a specific topic. The general reader will no doubt find much that is tedious in chapters two, five, six and seven, where the bulk of the textual criticism is contained. Unfortunately, the scholarly study of alchemy is still in such a state that even the most innocuous conclusions must be checked and double-checked against various manuscripts in order to assure their correctness. The printed editions of alchemical texts stem primarily from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when editorial techniques were still in their infancy and even then unevenly applied. The general reader should take note that this is a painstaking method, but in a word, there is no other way to arrive at even relative certitude. If these arguments prove too tedious, I suggest that the reader merely skim their conclusions and pass to the more theoretical material contained in chapters one, three, and four.

Considering the high cost and academic nature of this study, I recommend the author's more accessible books on alchemy: Secrets of Nature: Astrology and Alchemy in Early Modern Europe (Transformations: Studies in the History of Science and Technology) and Promethean Ambitions: Alchemy and the Quest to Perfect Nature. ...

Wonderful Book
The price of this book is high. As an educator, I found it well worth the cost. I can link all language goals with literacy. Ideas for articulation, pragrmatics, social skills, etc. are included.Gebers provides an excellent resource for language rich books. I have used her lessons with Eleanor and Ameilia go For a Ride, The Wolf's Side of the Story, The Cremation of Sam Magee and many more. I have worked on the topics of seeing other's perspectives, making inferences, articulation, pragmatics etc.. Content rich book. Highly Recommended!!!

Great inspiration
This book is so very helpful in planning speech and language therapy.The books suggested have been well researched, the plans explicit and easy to implement.I loved this book so much I used it as the "bible" of a group study another speech therapist and I did last year.She had never used literature as extensively as I have.As we delved into the wonderful children's books and how to use them, she found it to be an approach that is fun for both therapist and child, motivating and effective in bringing about significant change in children's speech and language.

My enthusiasm was so effervescent about this book that my daughter, now a grad student in speech and language is using this book to help her plan for activities with her clinical literacy group.

Wonderful language facilitation book!
I am so pleased with this book -it helps me to plan lessons with my speech-language kids by using the children's books that they already know!I get so much help from this source, I don't what I would do without it!I use it with my own child, too.The activities are so fun and creative,there is never a dull moment.Hats off to J. Gebers for giving bothteachers and parents such a great reference tool!
