Sir Herbert Butterfield FBA (1900 – 1979) was an English historian and philosopher of history, who was Regius Professor of Modern History and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge. He is remembered chiefly for a short volume early in his career entitled 'The Whig Interpretation of History' and for his 'Origins of Modern Science' (1949). Butterfield turned increasingly to historiography and man's developing view of the past. Butterfield was a devout Christian and reflected at length on Christian influences in historical perspectives. A salient feature of Butterfield thought was his belief that individual personalities were more important than great systems of government or economics in historical study. His Christian beliefs in personal sin, salvation and providence were a great influence in his writings, a fact he freely admitted. At the same time, Butterfield's early works emphasised the limits of a historian's moral conclusions, "If history can do anything it is to remind us that all our judgments are merely relative to time and circumstance". The Whig Interpretation of History' became a classic for history students and is still widely read and admired. His anti-Hegelian criticism of the retrospective creation of a line of progress toward the glorious present can be and has subsequently been applied generally. The "Whig interpretation of history" is now a general label applied to various Hegelian and Post-Hegelian historical interpretations. Butterfield found the Whig interpretation of history objectionable because it warps the past to see it in terms of the issues of the present and attempts to squeeze the contending forces of the past into a form that reminds us of ourselves. Butterfield argued that the historian must seek the ability to see events as they were perceived by those who lived through them. Simple pick-and-choose history misses the point, he argued, "Very strange bridges are used to make the passage from one state of things to another; we may lose sight of them in our surveys of general history, but their discovery is the glory of historical research. History is not the study of origins; rather it is the analysis of all the mediations by which the past was turned into our present". A classic of historiographical understanding. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 95 pages ., Penguin Books, 1973, 3, Gift able- Clean bright shiny,Book of Five Rings is the martial arts classic - indispensable - definitive Japanese guide to business strategy.

Its primary armament was eight .50-caliber machine guns, and in the fighter-bomber ground-attack role it could carry five-inch rockets or a bomb load of 2,500 lb (1,100 kg). When fully loaded, the P-47 weighed up to eight tons, making it one of the heaviest fighters of the war. The Thunderbolt was effective as a short-to medium-range escort fighter in high-altitude air-to-air combat and ground attack in both the European and Pacific theaters. The P-47 was designed around the powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp 18-cylinder radial engine which also powered two U.S. Navy/U.S. Marine Corps fighters, the Grumman F6F Hellcat and the Vought F4U Corsair. An advanced turbo-supercharger system ensured the aircraft's eventual dominance at high-altitude, while also influencing its size and design. The P-47 was one of the main United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) fighters of World War II, and also served with other Allied air forces, including those of France, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union. Mexican and Brazilian squadrons fighting alongside the USAAF also flew the P-47. The armored cockpit was relatively roomy and comfortable and the bubble canopy introduced on the P-47D offered good visibility. Nicknamed the "Jug" owing to its appearance if stood on its nose, the P-47 was noted for its firepower, as well as its ability to resist battle damage and remain airworthy. A present-day U.S. ground-attack aircraft, the Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, takes its name from the P-47.[Note 1]--Wikipedia, Ducimus Classic, 1970, 3, Acknowledgements Introduction Level One Lesson 1 Alike and Different Lesson 2 Order Lesson 3 Edges Lesson 4 Shapes Lesson 5 Size by Comparing Lesson 6 Built Environment Lesson 7 Repetition and Rhythm Level Two Lesson 8 Units and Clusters Lesson 9 Balance Lesson 10 Pattern Lesson 11 Measuring by Eye and Ruler Lesson 12 Relating Parts of the Whole Level Three Lesson 13 Contrast Lesson 14 Architecture in Environment Lesson 15 Planes Lesson 16 Function and Form Lesson 17 Shapes from Nature Lesson 18 Scale Lesson 19 Considering All Views Lesson 20 Optical Weight Level Four Lesson 21 Rhythm, Pattern, Movement Lesson 22 A Identifying Architectural Styles Lesson 22 B Ancient World Period Lesson 22 C Early Christian Period Lesson 22 D Medieval Period Lesson 22 E Renaissance Period Lesson 22 F Baroque Period Lesson 22 G Revolutionary Period Lesson 22 H Twentieth-Century Style Lesson 23 Orders of Architecture Lesson 24 Architectural Periods and Styles in Your Community Lesson 25 Concave and Convex Forms Lesson 26 Interesting Divisions of Space Lesson 27 Symbolism (Building "Talk") Level Five Lesson 28 Proportion Lesson 29 Golden Mean Lesson 30 Building Design for Special Needs Lesson 31 Light and Shadow-Solar Energy Lesson 32 Triangles Lesson 33 Positive and Negative Forms and Spaces Lesson 34 Mass Equals Geometric Bulk Lesson 35 Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Space Lesson 36 Roof Systems Level Six Lesson 37 Organic and Mechanical Structures Lesson 38 Hidden Patterns Lesson 39 Complexity and Simplicity-A Balance Lesson 40 Shadows Level Seven Lesson 41 Extending Points, Lines, and Planes to Make Form and Volume Lesson 42 Architectural Groupings and Clusters Lesson 43 Color Lesson 44 City PlanningLesson 45 Contrast as Used by Architects Lesson 46 Order-the Most important Design Concept Lesson 47 Proportion and Regulating Lines Lesson 48 Adjusting Positive and Negative Spaces Lesson 49 Naming Parts of Structures and Processes Lesson 50 Planning Building Sites Lesson 51 Postmodern, "Green" Architecture, and Deconstructivism Time Lines GlossaryFrom ancient structures through the millennia of built environments worldwide, Architecture is Elementary is revised after twenty years in print.
