The beautiful Langhorne sisters lived at the pinnacle of society from the end of the Civil War through the Second World War. Born in Virginia to a family impoverished by the Civil War, Lizzie, Irene, Nancy, Phyllis, and Nora eventually made their way across two continents, leaving rich husbands, fame, adoration, and scandal in their wake. At the center of the story is Nancy, who married Waldorf Astor, one of the richest men in the world. Heroic, hilarious, magnetically charming, and a bully, Nancy became Britain's first female MP. The beautiful Irene married Charles Dana Gibson and was the model for the Gibson Girl. Phyllis, the author's grandmother, married a famous economist, one of the architects of modern Europe. Author James Fox draws on the sisters' unpublished correspondence to construct an intimate and sweeping account of five extraordinary women at the highest reaches of society.
Oddly, the definition of Boolean in the page margin gets this right.
I could go on, but by now I think you get the point. I wish research had been made into this much fun during my rather dry and sober studies.
I thought I was reasonably well-versed when it comes to my vocabulary (for a non-native speaker anyway) but I had to look up several of the "bad" words I'd never come across before. This was a pretty quick read but I am interested to continue on with this story into the next books. Unfortunately, the reader will never figure this out because they are directed to an erroneous illustration on page 244 which merely shows a different type of diaphragm actuator -- not a piston actuator at all!
The same chapter makes the claim that pneumatic diaphragm actuators are inherently nonlinear, which is untrue. They are separated by one unfortunate incident which forced Mari into an unhappy marriage. Overall, enjoyable to read. From gallery sitting to art consulting
