• I like it because:
• It includes a trip to a worlds fair by train, including hitching a ride
• I know it's 1876
• The principals are like some wonderful women I know
• Reference to Maine's marine/trade heritage
• Spoiler alert:
• Betsy gets a bit of cash from a vistor. She sallies forth, walking to the station but before she get there she hitches a ride on a frieght. At the Philadelphia Centennial she befriends everyone, buys gifts for here friends and comes home.
• This looks like a great site for all things Sarah Orne Jewett

Working from the online archival record, this paper aims to reconstruct the emergence at Jorn Barger’s initiative of the weblog community from a predecessor known as the NewsPage Network.

I am also the founder and current director of the Center for Connected Learning and Computer-Based Modeling. I am a founding faculty member and current governing board member of NICO, the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems. I have authored numerous software packages including the NetLogo modeling software. I got my Ph.D. from the MIT Media Lab in 1993. "

"As a newer sport, mountain biking regulators appear to have remained in closer touch with the sport's participants than those in the UCI, helped no doubt by the fact that it was only by the mid-1990s that mountain biking was beginning to become recognised in large-scale international contexts (for example the Olympics) where a bureaucracy such as the UCI might have cause to emerge. Moreover, the underlying commitment among mountain bikers to an equitable individualism has perhaps helped prevent a remote bureaucracy like the UCI from taking control. Similarly, those involved in developing unconventional bikes which fall outside the UCI's self-imposed remit have found it more fruitful to appropriate not just the technology of the bicycle but also the institutions associated with it, setting up their own competitive environment and hence being able to ignore the mainstream regulators. These cases raise an interesting question regarding Sclove's 'design criteria for a democratic politics of technology', which include the need to balance small-scale communitarian and co-operative technologies against those which are more individualised (1995: 98). The worlds of cycling, cycle design and cycle production have all been characterised by a high level of individual initiative, but this has been tempered - since at least the time of the first bicycle boom in the 1890s - with a general ease of access: start-up costs within the industry have historically always been low, whilst entry into cycle sport needs initially no more than a moderately-priced bicycle (see Harrison 1977; Ritchie 1975; McGurn 1987; Harris 1976). Bicycle technology is thus individualised in one sense, but this individualism is generalised and non-exclusive. For participants in road racing, mountain biking and the cycling counterculture, this translates into a desire - which the UCI has been felt to hinder - for governing institutions which reflect this egalitarian openness."

"A collection of historical documents relating to the history of the steam engine. Books on line * The Pneumatics of Hero of Alexandria from the original Greek, translated for and edited by Bennet Woodcroft. London, Taylor Walton and Maberly, 1851. 111 pages, about 50 illustrations. Written about AD300. First book describing a steam engine. [Peter Hark and Dan Sonneborn] * Account of Blasco de Garay's 1543 steamship. * Henry Dircks, The Life, Times and Scientific Labors of [Edward Somerset] the Second Marquis of Worcester, to which is added, a reprint of his Century of Inventions, 1663. London, 1865. 558 pp. The reprinted Century of Inventions and comments, about 220 pages, are the good bits of this. The rest can certainly be done, if anyone is interested in the English Civil War.

[Nicole Parson, Katrina Turner, Julian Woodard, Tesfa Myrie] * Mårten Triewald, Beskrifning om eld- och luftmachin vid Dannemora grufvor (A Short Description of the Fire- and Air- Machine at the Dannemora Mines.), Stockholm, 1734. English translation. Triewald worked in Britain before returning to build the first steam engine in Sweden. 60 pages, one illustration. Includes some biographical material.

Not just science via http://guild2910.org/Pelopponesian%20War%20June%2013%202007.pdf#page=11 "access to current and retrospective multidisciplinary information from approximately 8,700 of the most prestigious, high impact research journals in the world. Web of Science also provides a unique search method, cited reference searching. With it, users can navigate forward, backward, and through the literature, searching all disciplines and time spans to uncover all the information relevant to their research. Users can also navigate to electronic full-text journal articles. Launched in January 2005, the Century of Science initiative makes hundreds of thousands of older, twentieth century scientific journal items available in one place and on one platform for the first time. Approximately 850,000 fully indexed journal articles have been added to Web of Science, from 262 scientific journals published in the first half of the twentieth century. This comprehensive collection is fully searchable, with complete bibliographic data, cited reference data and navigation, and direct links to the full text."
