In their 'Guidebook for an Armchair Pilgrimage', authors Phil Smith, Tony Whitehead and photographer John Schott lead us on a 'virtual' journey to explore difference and change on their way to an unknown destination. They create a pilgrimage that any of us can follow, even if we are confined to our homes.\n\nTo research the 'Guidebook' the authors went on an actual journey. 'Bonelines' is the secret story of that journey. Given the present circumstances it now appears prophetic, prescient and helpful, so they have decided to bring it into the light. It is written as a novel.

'An entertaining new book... which looks back at the most bizarre sporting activities ever devised by mankind' Daily Mail\n 'Perfect book for the Christmas stockings of adults and curious children' Wall Street Journal\n\n For those who enjoyed the quirkiness of Schott's Miscellany, the erudition of The Etymologicon or the extremes of The Dangerous Book for Boys, this is the ideal read.\n\n From Flagpole Sitting to Hot Cockles, Edward Brooke-Hitching has researched through piles of dusty tomes to bring vividly back to life some of the most curious, dangerous and downright bizarre sports and pastimes ever devised, before we thought better of it and erased them from the memory. After all, who would ever want to bring back Fox Tossing, a popular sport for men and women in 17th-century Germany? The sport involved dozens of couples pairing up and standing 20-25 feet apart in an enclosed field, each holding one end of a net, and then they would pull hard at both ends as the fox ran past, sending it flying high into the air.\n\n There are many other sports revealed within these pages that are unlikely ever to make an appearance on our TV screens, such as Firework Boxing, which is just as dangerous as it sounds. Meanwhile, Ski Ballet may not have been so risky, but Suzy 'Chapstick' Chaffee's signature move - the Suzy Split (a complete forward split while balanced on the tips of her skis) - was probably not one to try at home.\n\nAn intriguing, entertaining and occasionally shocking insight into the vivid imaginations of humanity across the years, Fox Tossing, Octopus Wrestling and Other Forgotten Sports is an unforgettable read and a perfect gift.

\"Schott's Miscellany\" makes few claims to be exhaustive or even practical. It does, however, claim to be essential. It will afford you great wisdom in the morning, several conversational bons mots for the afternoon, and many an enlightened smile after dark. Where else can you find, packed on to one page, the thirteen principles of witchcraft, the structure of military hierarchy, all of the clothing care symbols, a list of the countries where you drive on the left, and a nursery rhyme about sneezing? Where else, but \"Schott's Miscellany\", will you stumble across John Lennon's cat, the supplier of bagpipes to the Queen, and the brutal methods of murder encountered by Miss Marple? An encyclopaedia? A dictionary? An almanac? An anthology? A treasury? An amphigouri? A commonplace? A vade-mecum? Well - yes. \"Schott's Original Miscellany\" is all these, and, of course, more. A book like no other, \"Schott's Original Miscellany\" is entertaining, informative, unpredictable and utterly addictive.

Hands-on science in the Age of Exploration.\n\nWinner of the John Lyman Book Award in Naval and Maritime Science and Technology by the North American Society for Oceanic History and the Leo Gershoy Prize by the American Historical Association\n\nThroughout the Age of Exploration, European maritime communities bent on colonial and commercial expansion embraced the complex mechanics of celestial navigation. They developed schools, textbooks, and instruments to teach the new mathematical techniques to sailors. As these experts debated the value of theory and practice, memory and mathematics, they created hybrid models that would have a lasting impact on applied science. \n\nIn Sailing School, a richly illustrated comparative study of this transformative period, Margaret E. Schotte charts more than two hundred years of navigational history as she investigates how mariners solved the challenges of navigating beyond sight of land. She begins by outlining the influential sixteenth-century Iberian model for training and certifying nautical practitioners. She takes us into a Dutch bookshop stocked with maritime manuals and a French trigonometry lesson devoted to the idea that \"navigation is nothing more than a right triangle.\" The story culminates at the close of the eighteenth century with a young British naval officer who managed to keep his damaged vessel afloat for two long months, thanks largely to lessons he learned as a keen student.\n\nThis is the first study to trace the importance, for the navigator's art, of the world of print. Schotte interrogates a wide variety of archival records from six countries, including hundreds of published textbooks and never-before-studied manuscripts crafted by practitioners themselves. Ultimately, Sailing School helps us to rethink the relationship among maritime history, the Scientific Revolution, and the rise of print culture during a period of unparalleled innovation and global expansion.

Leggere parole tedesche, talvolta lunghe come treni, e trovare la cosa divertente. Sembrerebbe impossibile, eppure Ben Schott riesce nell'impresa. Chi conosce un po' la lingua tedesca lo sa: per formare parole nuove se ne uniscono di esistenti. \"Zeitgeist\", per esempio, è lo spirito (\"Geist\") del tempo (\"Zeit\"). E con questo meccanismo semplice ma infernale Schott conia nell'unica lingua al mondo capace di farlo parole indispensabili come Sonntagsleerung (la depressione della domenica pomeriggio), e molte altre, dando vita a una sarabanda di vocaboli capaci di illuminare fatti ed emozioni che riguardano tutti i lettori, conoscitori del tedesco o no.

Leggerla tutta in una volta è impossibile. Eppure, non si riesce a staccarsene. L’originale miscellanea di Schott è una straordinaria raccolta di fantastici trivia, incredibili rarità, bizzarre indiscrezioni e utilissime nozioni. Quale altro libro può vantare un indice che comprenda la lunghezza dei lacci delle scarpe e il linguaggio dei segni, i sette peccati capitali, le regole dei duelli e le dimensioni delle uova, le superstizioni sul matrimonio e le figure della Smorfia napoletana? In quale altro testo si possono trovare, racchiusi nella medesima pagina, la nomenclatura golfistica, una storia della tassa sui cappelli, i nomi collettivi, la linea di successione inglese e la bandiera della Guadalupa?

Over the past decade, attribution scholars have come to a consensus that Shakespeare wrote some of the additions printed in the 1602 quarto of Kyd's Spanish Tragedy. This new development in textual studies has far-reaching consequences for established theatre-historical narratives. Accounting for Shakespeare's involvement in The Spanish Tragedy requires us to rethink the history of two major theatre companies, the Admiral's and the Chamberlain's Men, and to reread much of the documentary record of late Elizabethan theatre. Modelling what a theatre-historical response to new attributionist arguments might look like, the author offers an in-depth reinterpretation of Philip Henslowe's records of new plays, develops a novel account of how theatre companies copied and adapted plays in one another's repertories (including a reconsideration of the 'Ur-Hamlet' and the two Shrew plays), and reconstructs an early modern cluster of Hieronimo plays that also allows us to reimagine Ben Jonson's career as an actor.

In questo volume si ricostruisce la genesi della prima edizione a stampa del più importante libro greco di epoca medioevale: la Biblioteca di Fozio (IX secolo). Emergono con chiarezza, grazie anche a una documentazione in gran parte inedita, l'intreccio culturale e religioso, le difficoltà connesse allo scontro tra riformati e cattolici, nonché la capacità di alcuni umanisti illuminati di entrambi i fronti di superare le barriere e stabilire un'alleanza intellettuale e operativa intorno a un libro ricchissimo quale la \"Biblioteca\": un testo che alla fine unisce piuttosto che dividere. In queste pagine il lettore troverà la prima edizione tradotta e commentata dei \"Prolegomena\" di André Schott, il gesuita vero protagonista di questa affascinante vicenda.
