‎Summary Doreen Waugh was a native Shetlander and a well-renowned scholar of Old Norse and Gaelic place-names in Northern Scotland and the Northern Isles. Not only did Waugh's research significantly advance scholarly understanding of the 'Viking' settlement of the North Atlantic, her generosity with both her time and knowledge inspired and motivated a wide range of scholars from a variety of disciplines, from archaeology and history to historical geography, linguistics, and place-name studies. Based on ? and written in tribute to ? Waugh's work, this interdisciplinary volume draws together essays covering Northern Scotland, the Northern Isles, and beyond, both during and after the early medieval period. The contributions gathered here draw on Waugh's wider-ranging research interests to offer a range of novel insights into the many communities, cultures, and customs that have characterized and connected the Northern Isles and their North Atlantic neighbours.

‎Invention. Northern Renaissance Studies in Honor of Molly Faries,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2008 Hardback, XLVIII+231 pages., 188 b/w ill. + 35 colour ill., 210 x 297 mm. ISBN 9782503527680.‎

‎The volume's title, Invention: Northern Renaissance Studies in Honor of Molly Faries, evokes Molly's passion for understanding an artist's creative process. The term 'invention' is here understood in the widest possible sense: How did a work of art come into being? How did an artist react to new stimuli or adapt to a new culture? Was innovation valued above adherence to a local tradition? To what degree could artists shape their patrons? taste? How did artists transform their own inventions over time and adopt those of others? Was there a concept of invention specific to the Northern Renaissance and how did it differ from ours? The authors who tackle these and other questions include university professors, curators, conservators, and conservation scientists, all recognized specialists in northern European art of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The artists they discuss are among the greatest painters, manuscript illuminators, printmakers, and sculptors: Johan Maelwael, the Limbourg brothers, Jan Van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, Hans Memling, Lieven van Lathem, Juan de Flandes, Jean Hey, Albrecht Durer, Hieronymus Bosch, Master H.L., Jacques Du Broeucq, and Jan Brueghel the Elder. This book, one of the few devoted specifically to the concept of invention in Northern Renaissance art, is richly illustrated with 32 color plates and 179 black-and-white reproductions; it includes an index. Languages : English. Until 31/03/2013 avaialable at 79.00 euro.‎

‎First printing. ""Euler rejects the view of de Mairan that the zodiacal light is the cause of the tails of comets and the northern lights"" instead Euler argues that zodiacal light is the results of particles emanating from the sun, the tails of comets is the results of particles emanating from the bodies of the comets, and that the northern lights is the results of particles emanating from the earth...he also infers the existance of a solar atmosphere from the existance of sun-spots. He calculates the form of the solar atmosphere and arrives at a cubic equation."" (Based on Aiton's introduction to Opera Omnia). Enestrom: 103.‎
