My dear Brother
Enclosed you will find two letters of introduction. Mr Allen is a gentleman of great moral worth, of high talents and standing and has ever been my warm and invaluable friend. There is no man in Ky. I esteem more highly. He is sincere, warm-hearted and devoted. He may perhaps not be in Frankfort. I want you to become acquainted with him.
You will find Gov. Letcher a plain, free, open generous man, full of life, wit and fond of his friends, joke and fun, yet of great firmness of character, well versed in human nature and decidedly one of the first[?] practical men in the state.
The family are well. Cousin Jas.[?Jos] is still confined; his fever is stubborn. I fear he is going to have a severe spell. I have not heard one word from Mrs.Smedly.
I hope you and family are all well.
Your brother truly,
W. P. Fowler

Elements of Abstraction: Space, Line and Interval in Modern British Art
No full textThe book is the catalogue of the exhibition Elements of Abstraction: Space, Line and Interval in Modern British Art, which the author curated from the collections of the Tate Gallery, London, the Arts Council, London, Southampton City Art Gallery and private collections. The author provided three essays, 'The Geometry of Modern British Art', 'West Country Constructivism', and 'Abstract Art and the Decline of Modernism' to advance critical histories of three distinct moments of importance in the development of British abstract art. A fourth, edited by him, was by a research student under his supervision (Alan Fowler) and covered Systems Art and Constructionism
Interview with William A. Fowler
No full textInterview conducted in eight sessions between May 1983 and May 1984 with Willy Fowler, Nobel laureate and Institute Professor of Physics, emeritus. In a career in nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics that spanned more that sixty years, Fowler was primarily concerned with nucleosynthesis--that is, the creation of the heavy elements by the fusion of the nuclei of lighter elements. In 1957, with Fred Hoyle and Geoffrey and Margaret Burbidge, Fowler coauthored the seminal paper "Synthesis of the Elements in the Stars," now known as B2FH. In it, they showed that all the elements from carbon to uranium could be produced by nuclear processes in stars starting only with the light elements produced in the Big Bang. In the interview, Fowler discusses his early education as a physicist at Ohio State; his work with Charles C. and Tommy Lauritsen at Caltech's Kellogg Radiation Laboratory; the history of nuclear physics and nuclear astrophysics at Caltech; and the evolution of nucleosynthesis. There are recollections of many of his mentors and colleagues, including Robert A. Millikan, Hans Bethe, J. Robert Oppenheimer, the Lauritsens, Fred Hoyle, the Burbidges, Jesse Greenstein, A. G. W. Cameron, Richard P. Feynman, and H. P. Robertson. A 1986 Supplement contains an interview on Fowler's work for the Naval Bureau of Ordnance and the Manhattan Project during the Second World War

Aboriginal Maritime Landscapes of South Australia: The Balance Ground
No full textAboriginal Maritime Landscapes in South Australia reveals the maritime landscape of a coastal Aboriginal mission, Burgiyana (Point Pearce), in South Australia, based on the experiences of the Narungga community.A collaborative initiative with Narungga peoples and a cross-disciplinary approach have resulted in new understandings of the maritime history of Australia. Analysis of the long-term participation of Narungga peoples in Australia’s maritime past, informed by Narungga oral histories, primary archival research and archaeological fieldwork, delivers insights into the world of Aboriginal peoples in the post-contact maritime landscape. This demonstrates that multiple interpretations of Australia’s maritime past exist and provokes a reconsideration of how the relationship between maritime and Indigenous archaeology is seen. This book describes the balance ground shaped through the collaboration, collision and reconciliation of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples in Australia. It considers community-based practices, cohesively recording such areas of importance to Aboriginal communities as beliefs, knowledges and lived experiences through a maritime lens, highlighting the presence of Narungga and Burgiyana peoples in a heretofore Western-dominated maritime literature.Through its consideration of such themes as maritime archaeology and Aboriginal history, the book is of value to scholars in a broad range of disciplines, including archaeology, anthropology, history and Indigenous studies

Natches[i.e., Natchez, Miss.], Friday morning 11th April 1845
My dear M.
I reached this place at sundown last evening and found Mr and Mrs Mathews of San Augustine on their way to Miss[issippi]. Capt Patton of Nacogdoches is with me on his way to New Orleans and we will room it on our way. My health is the same, have suffered much with the piles and cold but am rather better of the latter.
I have written to Peter Renfro to sell my cotton and get me a barrel sugar and sack coffee, say 150 lbs. So I will not purchase these articles on my return home. We are hourly expecting boats for New Orleans. Get you one sack salt as soon as convenient. On my trip home will lay in for the year. Have the cattle and horses well salted. You have money and do not want for any thing that will add to your comfort. I am in much haste as the Ross is waiting for me. Kiss my dear children, tell them father sends his love to them. Miss Allen will come up and stay with you whenever you want her, which I think is the best thing you can do. God bless you.
Your husband

Mr Ross has promised to make me 1,000 good rails, take off the bark and stack them up for seven dollars. I want you to board him. If you cannot do so get Dr Sharp or brother Collins to do it and I will pay them for it. I will much need the rails. When made, request brother Collins to count and see that they are good rails then you will pay Mr Ross the money. Collins had better look at the rails when he commences making them
Ring currents in tangentially p-p bonded σ-aromatic systems
No full textWe report a theoretical study of ring systems that delocalize electrons in a cyclic array of p orbitals arranged tangentially in σ-bonding fashion. σ-Bonded arrays are compared to conventional π-bonded analogues with respect to orbital symmetry and aromatic/antiaromatic behavior. In a one-to-one correspondence between π and tangential molecular orbitals of a cycle, local rotation turns each π to a tangential basis function, changing bonding interactions to antibonding and inverting the order of filling of molecular orbitals. The ipsocentric ring-current mapping approach is used to evaluate aromaticity on the magnetic criterion. As for conventional π-ring currents, the σ-ring current in tangential p-p bonded systems is dominated by the HOMO-LUMO transition, corresponding to circulation of four electrons in diatropic (4n + 2)-electron cycles but two in paratropic (4n)-electron cycles. The systems examined here utilize either C 2p or Si 3p orbitals for delocalization. Although interchangeable with C with respect to the fundamental orbital symmetry and ring-current rules, Si bonds at greater internuclear distances, a feature that allows easier design of potentially stable σ-aromatic structures. Calculations show the wheel-like Si 10C50H70 structure 6 as a stable, neutral aromatic molecule with a diatropic ring current following the σ-bond path formed by Si 3p orbitals. © 2006 American Chemical Society
