The 2019 volume of Ceramics in America features exciting new
discoveries in the field of American ceramics studies, from an
early example of Chinese porcelain found in the New World to
previously undocumented green-glazed earthenware made in
early-nineteenth-century Philadelphia. New analytic information
about the manufacture of hard-paste porcelain, also in the
Philadelphia context, will be of special interest to students of
American porcelain production. Of special note, reconstructive
drawings of two of America's most important potteries and their
kilns are illustrated and discussed: the William Rogers Pottery of
Yorktown, Virginia (ca. 1720-1745), and the massive stoneware kilns
of Abner Landrum's Pottersville factory in Edgefield, South
Carolina (ca. 1818-1840). Other articles examine topics of American
stoneware, including the distinctive eighteenth-century stoneware
of Boston and Charlestown, Massachusetts. The journal concludes
with a beautifully illustrated two-part presentation on clay
tobacco pipes made in the Chesapeake region of America between 1640
and 1660, highlighting the pipe maker's art and the multicultural
circumstance of their manufacture and use.
Augustine's Confessions: Conversion and Consciousness argues two
original positions concerning the structure and meaning of the
Confessions by Augustine. The structure is found to be a tool used
by Augustine in his earlier pre-Confessions writings in which he
uses the Allegory of the Cave in book VII of the Republic by Plato
to both describe human consciousness and as a structural framework
for his own life story. As with Plato's allegory, Augustine then
uses Books X-XIII to do, what the author calls, "Scriptural
Philosophical" analysis of the allegorical prayer previously given.
The author shows that the Confessions is really an allegorical
quasi-prayer that shows Augustine's state of mind or disposition
through space/time - and at the same time uses different personas,
schools of thought and metaphysical constructs to show the
inadequacy of Plato's consciousness model of the cave to truly
describe human ratiocination within consciousness in its totality -
Synchronic-Synthetic-Triplex (SST) or body, mind, God-Will
substance. Instead, Augustine demonstrates the superiority of the
Christian conversion to that of the Platonic as described both by
Platonic books and the books of the Platonists. The Christian
conversion is based on the incarnate Wisdom of Christ Jesus within
the Cave/World.
Originally published in 1916, this volume discusses the history of
the labour movement during the latter part of the 19th and early
part of the 20th centuries, in so far as it relates to the advocacy
and use of violence. A contentious issue which divided the labour
movement during the 19th century, the author presents arguments
made by both sides of this controversy. Nonetheless, the book
remains a Marxist critique of violence as practised by direct
action anarchists.

Now in its ninth year of publication, Ceramics in America is
considered the journal of record for historical ceramic scholarship
in the American context. The 2009 volume presents new research
related to the rich and varied earthenware production in the
eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Moravian settlements of
Bethabara and Salem, North Carolina. Setting a new standard for
American ceramic studies, this transdisciplinary effort draws on
archaeology, art history, social history, religion, ceramic
technology, and many other areas of inquiry resulting in a
substantively revised history of this much-admired North Carolina
pottery tradition. Many examples of highly decorative slipware and
intriguing figural bottles are illustrated for the first time with
color photography by Gavin Ashworth.

scholarship in the American context and is intended for collectors,
historical archaeologists, curators, decorative arts students,

Ceramics in America features articles on eighteenth-century New
York and New Jersey salt-glazed stoneware, a fascinating ceramic
cargo from the "Blue China" wreck, nineteenth-century ceramic
consumption patterns in the Anglo-American merchant trade, and
commemorative ceramics made for the 1907, 1957, and 2007
anniversaries of the founding off Jamestown, Virginia. Included are
many additional articles detailing important new discoveries in the
ceramic field and scholarly reviews of recently published ceramic
books.

surviving objects from this important American porcelain factory
are presented.
Accompanying essays provide the historical context for the rise and
fall of the factory along with exploration of porcelain technology
and classification of parallel British porcelain. Important new
evidence is presented for an even earlier porcelain manufactory
near Charleston, South Carolina that of emigrant Staffordshire
potter John Bartlam.

Richard can't stop thinking about the clock. He lies in bed each
night listening to its tick-tocking, to the pendulum's heavy swing.
Why does his granddad open its old doors in secret and walk into
the darkness beyond? One night, too inquisitive to sleep, Richard
tiptoes from his bed, opens the cherry wood doors, and steps inside
. . .
Engineers encounter different types of contracts at nearly every
turn in their careers. Contracts for Engineers: Intellectual
Property, Standards, and Ethics is a tool to enhance their ability
to communicate contractual issues to lawyers-and then better
understand the legal advice they receive.
Building on its exploration of contracts, this book expands
discussion to:
- Patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other
intellectual property issues
- Development of standards and the bodies that govern them, as
well as conformity assessment and accreditation
- Ethics at both the micro and macro levels-a concept under major
scrutiny after several major disasters, including the Gulf of
Mexico oil spill, the collapse of Boston's Big Dig, and a
coal-mining accident that resulted in many deaths
With a brief introduction to common law contracts and their
underlying principles, including basic examples, the book presents
a sample of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) regarding the sale of
goods. It evaluates elements of the different contracts that
engineers commonly encounter, such as employee and associated
consulting agreements and contracts involved in construction and
government.
Approaching intellectual property from a contract perspective,
this reference focuses on the many different types of patents and
their role in commerce. It touches on the application of trademarks
and recent developments in the use of copyright as a form of
contract and explains the process of obtaining patents, including
the rationale for investing in them. Ethical standards receive
special attention, which includes a review of several prominent
professional codes of ethics and conduct for both organizations and
individual engineers, particularly officers and higher-level
managers.
Now in its fourteenth year of publication, Ceramics in America is
