The early modern use of vegetal terms to explain the origin and growth of ores was widespread in mining industry, alchemy, and natural philosophy.

Accordingly, the existence in ore…[Read more]

The aesthetics of early feature-film scores were shaped by narrational problems introduced by multi-reel features and their longer durations.
