De Fluxu et refluxu Maris : de diversis motibus aque maris opiniones /Jacobus de Dondis ; a cura di Aldo Bullo. "The volume reproduces as accurately as possible the original copy of the manuscript preserved in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana, Milan, Italy with a trascription of the fourteenth century text together with Italian and English traslations. Jacopo Dondi, a multi talented engineer, was a doctor in Chioggia from 1313-1344, and in 1355, when he had already moved to Padua, he published a book on tides. It can be surely assumed that Jacopo had already begun work on this treatise while he was a resident of Venice; for as he walked alongside its canal, he was able to benefit from direct experience of the movements of the sea. From these experiences he was able to formulate the laws by which the astronomical positions of the sun and the moon governed the movement of the water." 2010. • FOLIO • 1 copy available. 521"13":551.466

Britain's war against the slave trade : the operations of the Royal Navy's West Africa Squadron, 1807-1867 /Anthony Sullivan. "Long before recorded history, men, women and children had been seized by conquering tribes and nations to be employed or traded as slaves. Greeks, Romans, Vikings and Arabs were among the earliest of many peoples involved in the slave trade, and across Africa the buying and selling of slaves was widespread. There was, at the time, nothing unusual in Britain's somewhat belated entry into the slave trade, transporting natives from Africa's west coast to the plantations of the New World. What was unusual was Britain's decision, in 1807, to ban the slave trade throughout the British Empire. Britain later persuaded other countries to follow suit, but this did not stop this lucrative business. So the Royal Navy went to war against the slavers, in due course establishing the West Africa Squadron which was based at Freetown in Sierra Leone. This force grew throughout the nineteenth century until a sixth of the Royal Navy's ships and marines was employed in the battle against the slave trade. Between 1808 and 1860, the West Africa Squadron captured 1,600 slave ships and freed 150,000 Africans. The slavers tried every tactic to evade the Royal Navy enforcers. Over the years that followed more than 1,500 naval personnel died of disease or were killed in action, in what was difficult and dangerous, and at times saddening, work. In Britain's War Against the Slave Trade, naval historian Anthony Sullivan reveals the story behind this little-known campaign by Britain to end the slave trade. Whereas Britain is usually, and justifiably, condemned for its earlier involvement in the slave trade, the truth is that in time the Royal Navy undertook a major and expensive operation to end what was, and is, an evil business."--Provided by the publisher. 2020. • BOOK • 1 copy available. 306.362
