The Love family is remembered in Virginia especially for the legacy of Buckland. Established on John Love's land in 1798, the industrial town was one of the many innovative sparks in America's early industrial revolution. Buckland and towns like it were the Silicon Valley of their time-testing, applying and advancing new technologies. All but a few such towns of that era are gone. The Buckland of today is a modest community, which survived the Civil War and suburban development. About a dozen historic buildings and related properties are being preserved as a unique example of a thriving early 19th century commercial and manufacturing village. William and Judith Love put down roots in the Maryland Colony in 1632 and became tobacco planters. Three generations later, Samuel Love served as a Charles County leader in the Revolutionary War. His sons fought in Virginia regiments of the Continental Army. The next generation served in the War of 1812, and later ones in the Civil War. Though not of the first rank of families in American history, it is notable that so many Loves formed relationships with so many presidents and Founding Fathers. John Love enjoyed a political career in Virginia and the U.S. Congress, which gave him access to these men. Perhaps more so, geography abetted these relationships. George Washington's Mount Vernon and the early Love holdings nearby in Maryland bordered the Potomac River, a main travel and trading route in that era of poor roads. The federal government moved in 1800 to its permanent seat in Washington, DC, just forty miles east of Buckland. Though different in purpose and planned size, the new capital city and Buckland developed in parallel. Many family members speculated with mixed success in Tennessee land grants, sold at low rates per acre to encourage settlement and as a revenue source. Traveling in Tennessee, several Loves established relationships with Andrew Jackson. Having witnessed fraudulent signing of land grant warrants in 1798, Charles J. Love wrote his report to Jackson. Then a U.S. Congressman, the future President was a leader in uncovering such fraud. Several Loves emigrated to Tennessee. In Greeneville to pursue a court case, John Love, childless in his first marriage, stayed, remarried and fathered four children. Charles moved his family to Nashville. From 1829 to 1837, he managed President Jackson's affairs at his Hermitage home and plantation. Charles' nephew, Andrew Jackson Watson, was born at the Hermitage in 1802. Agriculture, grist milling, thoroughbred horse breeding, turnpike road building, land investment, general store operations, banking, politics, law practice, and public service are some of the Love family's occupations and endeavors. Many members owned slaves without whom some of these endeavors would have been impossible. The names of all enslaved people discovered in research for this book are documented in these pages.

The story of Ravensworth starts with William Fitzhugh's purchase of the Ravensworth landgrant in 1685, the largest colonial landgrant in Fairfax County, Virginia - 24,112 acres (37.7 square miles), about one-half the area of nearby Washington, DC. From a population of zero, not counting Native Americans who may have had encampments there, the 2000 Census recorded about 138,355 people living within Ravensworth's original borders.The land was repeatedly carved into smaller and smaller parcels through inheritance, sale and subdivision. The once uncharted expanse of forest became first a plantation, then a succession of smaller plantations, then farms - both large and small - served by crossroads villages, and finally today's thousands of homes and businesses as well as commercial and government centers.The story of Ravensworth is a story of colonial settlement, early government, tobacco plantations, slavery, civil war, economic expansion, the rise and decline of family farms, and suburban development - next door to the nation's capital - involving people, places and events both famous and obscure. It explores... The people who owned Ravensworth land and disposed of its parts; others who leased, worked, visited and helped shape it How the land was acquired, partitioned, leased and used Ravensworth's enduring landmarks Events that occurred thereTracing the step-by-step partitioning of Ravensworth through the generations of changing ownership involved studying land deeds and mapping their metes and bounds (compass direction and distance of boundary lines). The parcels then were georeferenced to place them in their correct geographic location on a contemporary map. The resulting maps enable visualizing the land where people lived and worked and where events occurred in Ravensworth in the context of today's communities, roads and streets.

This book is an abridged draft edition. It is being published now in this form due to circumstances beyond the author's control. There will not be another edition. You will miss some things you might have expected: page numbers in the table of contents, a comprehensive bibliography and references, an index, a well-reviewed text .. . This book (Volume 2) follows on from Volume 1 so you may also need Volume 1 for reference. The book shows how the hypercomplex and associative algebras are hidden in Grassmann algebra. It shows how the quaternions and octonions and their split variants, and the geometric and Clifford algebras, are simply Grassmann algebra. It does this by extending its two familiar product operations, the exterior and interior products to define a suite of products together called the generalized Grassmann product. It shows how hypercomplex, geometric and Clifford products may then be defined as linear combinations of generalized Grassmann products in which the scalar coefficients are restricted to unity or negative unity only. This binary variability is sufficient to endow properties to a product operation, for example associativity. The book concludes by finding four associative product operations, two of which being the geometric and Clifford products. But these work on Grassmann entities only, so they are operations of the Grassmann algebra. In sum: this book shows how some important linear algebras such as the hypercomplex, geometric and Clifford algebras can be constructed entirely within Grassmann algebra by defining specialized product operations using only the exterior and interior products.

Grassmann Algebra Volume 1: Foundations Exploring extended vector algebra with Mathematica Grassmann algebra extends vector algebra by introducing the exterior product to algebraicize the notion of linear dependence. With it, vectors may be extended to higher-grade entities: bivectors, trivectors, ... multivectors. The extensive exterior product also has a regressive dual: the regressive product. The pair behaves a little like the Boolean duals of union and intersection. By interpreting one of the elements of the vector space as an origin point, points can be defined, and the exterior product can extend points into higher-grade located entities from which lines, planes and multiplanes can be defined. Theorems of Projective Geometry are simply formulae involving these entities and the dual products. By introducing the (orthogonal) complement operation, the scalar product of vectors may be extended to the interior product of multivectors, which in this more general case may no longer result in a scalar. The notion of the magnitude of vectors is extended to the magnitude of multivectors: for example, the magnitude of the exterior product of two vectors (a bivector) is the area of the parallelogram formed by them. To develop these foundational concepts, we need only consider entities which are the sums of elements of the same grade. This is the focus of this volume. But the entities of Grassmann algebra need not be of the same grade, and the possible product types need not be constricted to just the exterior, regressive and interior products. For example quaternion algebra is simply the Grassmann algebra of scalars and bivectors under a new product operation. Clifford, geometric and higher order hypercomplex algebras, for example the octonions, may be defined similarly. If to these we introduce Clifford's invention of a scalar which squares to zero, we can define entities (for example dual quaternions) with which we can perform elaborate transformations. Exploration of these entities, operations and algebras will be the focus of the volume to follow this. There is something fascinating about the beauty with which the mathematical structures that Hermann Grassmann discovered describe the physical world, and something also fascinating about how these beautiful structures have been largely lost to the mainstreams of mathematics and science. He wrote his seminal Ausdehnungslehre (Die Ausdehnungslehre. Vollständig und in strenger Form) in 1862. But it was not until the latter part of his life that he received any significant recognition for it, most notably by Gibbs and Clifford. In recent times David Hestenes' Geometric Algebra must be given the credit for much of the emerging awareness of Grass-mann's innovation. In the hope that the book be accessible to scientists and engineers, students and professionals alike, the text attempts to avoid any terminology which does not make an essential contribution to an understanding of the basic concepts. Some familiarity with basic linear algebra may however be useful. The book is written using Mathematica, a powerful system for doing mathematics on a computer. This enables the theory to be cross-checked with computational explorations. However, a knowledge of Mathematica is not essential for an appreciation of Grassmann's beautiful ideas.

From iron to uranium, titanium to silicon, this is ';a wide-ranging look at scientific progress. It's also a lot of fun' (The Wall Street Journal). Iron. Carbon. Gold. Silver. Uranium. Titanium. Silicon. These elements of the periodic table have shaped our lives and our world, in ways both good and bad. Combining history, science, and politics, this ';lively, educational examination of civilization's building blocks' reveals the fascinating story (Publishers Weekly). With carbon, we can access heat, light, and mobility at the flick of a switch. Silicon enables us to communicate across the globe in an instant. Uranium is both productive (nuclear power) and destructive (nuclear bombs). Iron is the bloody weapon of war, but also the economic tool of peace. And our desire for alluring gold is the foundation of global tradebut it has also led to the death of millions. Explaining how titanium pervades modern consumer culture and how an innovative new form of carbon could be starting a technology revolution,Seven Elements That Changed the Worldis an adventure in human passion, ingenuity, and discoveryand the latest chapter in a journey that is far from over.
