Two- and Three-Dimensional Representations of Thomas Bewick Woodblocks
No full textThe Bell Museum at the University of Minnesota owns fouteen wood blocks that were engraved in the workshop of Thomas Bewick to illustrate his History of British Birds, 2 vols. (Newcastle, 1797, 1804), as well as a block for a tail piece printed in The Fables of Aesop (Newcastle, 1818). This data set includes representations of these blocks captured using four digitization methods. 3D models were produced using structured light scanning and photogrammetry. Next, we used reflectance transformation imaging (RTI) to create interactive visualizations of the blocks' surfaces under variable lighting conditions. Finally, a high resolution two-dimensional image was generated for each block using a GIGAmacro device.Hancher, Michael; Luce, Donald T; McFadden, Colin; Porter, Samantha T. (2019).

Response to Bewick
No full textThe ‘In Response to Bewick’ exhibition, part of the ‘To Bewick and Back: from Cherryburn into History’ project, features new art by Dr Mike Collier, Marcia Ley and eight University of Sunderland artists All of the works have been inspired by the work of Thomas Bewick and by the artists’ experience of walking through Bewick’s landscape, along the River Tyne, in August and September 2014
Heliotropic dust rings for Earth climate engineering
No full textThis paper examines the concept of a Sun-pointing elliptical Earth ring comprised of dust grains to offset global warming. A new family of non-Keplerian periodic orbits, under the effects of solar radiation pressure and the Earth's J(2) oblateness perturbation, is used to increase the lifetime of the passive cloud of particles and, thus, increase the efficiency of this geoengineering strategy. An analytical model is used to predict the orbit evolution of the dust ring due to solar-radiation pressure and the J(2) effect. The attenuation of the solar radiation can then be calculated from the ring model. In comparison to circular orbits, eccentric orbits yield a more stable environment for small grain sizes and therefore achieve higher efficiencies when the orbit decay of the material is considered. Moreover, the novel orbital dynamics experienced by high area-to-mass ratio objects, influenced by solar radiation pressure and the J(2) effect, ensure the ring will maintain a permanent heliotropic shape, with dust spending the largest portion of time on the Sun facing side of the orbit. It is envisaged that small dust grains can be released from a circular generator orbit with an initial impulse to enter an eccentric orbit with Sun-facing apogee. Finally, a lowest estimate of 1 x 10(12) kg of material is computed as the total mass required to offset the effects of global warming
Geo-engineering using dust grains in heliotropic elliptical orbits
No full textThis paper examines the concept of a Saturn-like Earth ring comprised of dust grains to offset global warming. A new family of non-Keplerian periodic orbits, under the effects of solar radiation pressure and the Earth’s oblateness J2 perturbation, is selected to increase the lifetime of the passive cloud of particles and, thus, increase the efficiency of this geo-engineering strategy. An analytical model is used to predict the evolution of the dust due to solar-radiation pressure and the J2 effect. The attenuation of the solar radiation can then be calculated from the ring model. In comparison to circular orbits, eccentric orbits yield a more stable environment for small grain sizes and therefore achieve higher efficiencies when the orbital decay of the material is considered. Moreover, the special orbital dynamics experienced by high area-to-mass ratio objects, influenced by solar radiation pressure and the J2 effect, ensure the ring will maintain a permanent heliotropic shape, with dust spending the largest portion of time on the Sun facing side. It is envisaged that small dust grains can be released with an initial Δv to enter an eccentric orbit with Sun-facing apogee. Finally, an estimate of 5.94x1011 kg is computed as the total mass required to offset the effects of global warming

Short stories that provide moral instruction for children.
Printed on the title page: Being an elegant collection of the most delightful little stories, and interesting tales, chiefly translated from that much admired work, L'Ami des Enfans.
A new edition, with seventy-four cuts, designed and engraved on wood by Bewick.The first edition of this title appeared in 1787 and was enormously successful with the seventeenth edition appearing in 1827. Because of the impossibility of enforcing copyright laws abroad, many printed editions appeared in America where Bewick's illustrations were copied by Alexander Anderson.
Thomas Bewick, the artist-engraver of Newcastle, had a genius for working in miniature. His vignettes were well suited to the small books for children. Bewick was an engraver on metal (an intaglio process) but is now best remembered for his engraving on wood (a relief process). He was born in 1753, He apprenticed with the engraver Ralph Beilby and later became his partner. His younger brother, John (1760-1795), also became an engraver, doing much work for John Newbery.
Arnaud Berquin was a French children's book author whose stories consisted of events that might happen to children in their everyday lives. He also wrote his books to encourage childhood reading as a family experience.Moral instruction
