Excerpt from Sights and Insights, 1909, Vol. 5 We walk over the lovely College Campus, where various memorials bear eloquent testimony to the classes that left these reminders of their day. And stand under the shadow of class - trees of bygone years. We enter the extensive pleasure grounds. And stand on Lover's Leap not the Leucadian cape of woe, where burning Sappho loved and sung, and finally cast her self headlong. But our own Lover's Leap. Where the unlucky person who falls might get into a crop of stinging nettles, but nothing worse. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Sights and Insights, Vol. 6 I believe that the time-honored and unique Room ('mnpany System takes an important. Place in the cultivation of the Salem spirit, for manv years of experience have set their seal of approval upon this time-tested plan whereby, at. Salem, no pupil can lead a life of isolation or narrmvuess; no pupil can live in selfish limitation and abstraction from others. This plan whereby real democracy obtains. And artificial conditions of wealth do not enable one pupil to appropriate-to herself-greater comfort or added luxuries, or more expensive apartments than are granted to someone else. This plan whereby the family and home life is so nearlv simulated under ideal conditions of tutorial care and affectionate discipline. The plan which compels that helpful attrition of character only possible in a life which must be. Shared bv others, and where mutual consideration breaks down selfishness, secretiveness and suspicion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Why do aircraft fly? How do their wings support them? In the early years of aviation, there was an intense dispute between British and German experts over the question of why and how an aircraft wing provides lift. The British, under the leadership of the great Cambridge mathematical physicist Lord Rayleigh, produced highly elaborate investigations of the nature of discontinuous flow, while the Germans, following Ludwig Prandtl in Göttingen, relied on the tradition called “technical mechanics” to explain the flow of air around a wing. Much of the basis of modern aerodynamics emerged from this remarkable episode, yet it has never been subject to a detailed historical and sociological analysis. In The Enigma of the Aerofoil, David Bloor probes a neglected aspect of this important period in the history of aviation. Bloor draws upon papers by the participants—their restricted technical reports, meeting minutes, and personal correspondence, much of which has never before been published—and reveals the impact that the divergent mathematical traditions of Cambridge and Göttingen had on this great debate. Bloor also addresses why the British, even after discovering the failings of their own theory, remained resistant to the German circulation theory for more than a decade. The result is essential reading for anyone studying the history, philosophy, or sociology of science or technology—and for all those intrigued by flight.
