To maritime enthusiasts, collectors, engineers, architects and historians, the name 'The Shipbuilder' is pure magic. Founded in 1906, it chronicled in great detail the building, launch and outfitting of the latest ships, providing a vivid and sometimes the only existing record for future generations. Mark D. Warren, noted maritime author and historian, carefully reviewed and edited thousands of pages in order to create this first composite volume in the "Distinguished Liner" series comprising 'the best of The Shipbuilder.' For the book, Warren selected 41 vessels, including such famous ships as the Rotterdamn, France, Cameronia, Adriatic, Laurentic, Empress of Russia, and Empress of Ireland, as well as Lusitania and Titanic. He then imported or repositioned 220 blocks of text, photos and advertisements to present this rare glimpse of the construction, size and furnishing of these remarkable liners. This volume also includes an 1) introduction outlining the subsequent history of these great ships, which is particularly important since 15 of the vessels did not survive the 'Great War,' six were lost in World War II and three were lost in major peacetime disasters. 2) 22 additional folding blueprint plans 3) 41 diagrams including transverse cutaways and engine room plans 4) 4 additional color plates along with a fifth color plate, and two-color folding 'Titanic' advertisements 5) 63 rare original advertisements totalling more than 37 pages that, illustrated with 18 engravings and more than 40 photographs, include 24 of the 'Lusitania' and 'Mauretania', and 24 of the 'Olympic' and 'Titanic.' 6) Two facsimile perforated tissue subscription forms.

Distinguished African Americans in Aviation and Space Science offers brief, readable entries that describe the lives and careers of 80 men and 20 women who defied poverty and prejudice to excel in the fields of aviation and space exploration. Each essay begins with birth and death dates, educational institutions attended and degrees earned, positions held, and awards won. A short summary of the individual's contribution to aviation or space science is followed by a biographical narrative divided into three sections: Early Years, Higher Education, and Career Highlights. Often based on the authors' correspondence with the subjects themselves, or with family members, this illustrated volume provides the fullest and most accessible biographical information available for many of these figures.

A complete record of the recipients of the Distinguished Service Order from the Institution in 1886 to the 12th June 1923 with descriptions of the deeds and services for which the award was given and with many biographical and other details. 1978, 373pp

This multifaceted book reviews the vast range of types of printmaking that flourished in France during the 19th century. Studies of this period’s printmaking tend to be confined to histories of individual processes, such as lithography or steel engraving. This study surveys the field as a whole and discusses the relationships between the various media in the context of an overall “visual economy.”Lithography, etching, and engraving are all examined through new research on noteworthy artists of the period, including Hyacinthe Aubry-Lecomte, Léopold Flameng, Ferdinand Gaillard, Aimé de Lemud, Nadar, and Charles Waltner. Rather than simply tracing the rise of Modernism in the 19th century, Distinguished Images reconstitutes the period’s cultural milieu through a series of case studies written with an eye to overarching forces at play. The result is the most original analysis of printmaking to appear in many years—a striking new account of a system in which printmaking, printmakers, and art critics played heretofore unrecognized or misunderstood roles.
