  Address to the Club of Odd Volumes
Bob claimed that the Eragny Press of Lucien Pissaro, son of Camille, the Impressionist painter, was far more interesting than Kelmscott for its lighter, frenchified adaptation of the heavy roman alphabets that had been created for presses influenced by Morris and for the beautiful color woodcuts that grace its pages.
In 1965 we closed the Auerhahn Press and I moved the printing equipment downtown to Commercial Street, then on the fringe of the financial district, into the third floor of a pre-earthquake building on what had been the waterline of San Francisco Bay, before the gold seekers arrived and used their ships for landfill.
Three of the White Whale partners then offered a modest investment in Arion Press that enabled me to plan out an entire year in advance (instead of going from month-to-month), and we established Lyra Corporation as the umbrella.

 California's Coastal Mountains
In Northern California, the Klamath Mountains are composed of metamorphic and granitic rock--formed as a result of extreme changes in temperature, pressure, and chemical composition that occurred when molten material from below the earth's crust was pushed to the surface.
Three hundred miles east, the Transverse Ranges terminate abruptly in the San Gabriel and San Bernadino mountains, dropping off into the Mojave and Colorado deserts.
Sedimentary rocks are most common on the western slopes such as the Santa Ynez and Santa Monica mountains, which hug the coast from Santa Barbara County south to Los Angeles County; in the rugged eastern mountains, granitic and metamorphic rock dominate.

 Bill Bird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Taken over by Nancy Cunard in 1928, it became the Hours Press, and continued its association with many of the most important modernists; Ezra Pound had a position as editor for Three Mountains from 1923.
He started Three Mountains Press in 1922, producing books himself by a slow process of hand printing (the mountains appeared on the colophon).
Bird's interest then dropped, and he sold the printing press, Caslon type and goodwill to Nancy Cunard, supervising the move to her Normandy farmhouse.

 Literary Expatriates in Paris
All were associated with the important expatriate periodical Merlin and were instrumental in the founding and early history of the Olympia Press.
During both periods, the literary expatriates depended very much on the presence in Paris of a substantial number of English-language presses, periodicals, and bookstores, whose fortunes and very existence were in turn tied to the ebb and flow of the writer community.
Most of the early presses of the first wave disappeared with the onset and deepening of the Depression (some well before).

 UNC Press | Sticks & Stones: Three Centuries of North Carolina Gravemarkers
The subtitle of this book, "Three Centuries of North Carolina Gravemarkers," deliberately avoids the term "gravestones" because this term does not begin to encompass the rich diversity of shapes and materials in Tar Heel cemeteries.
In the piedmont and mountains, most people were buried beneath head- and footstones cut of native stone through the late nineteenth century.
Little traces the traditions of three groups of gravemarker artisans: the backcountry carvers who crafted headstones of native materials, the metropolitan stonecutters who created a series of marble monuments; and the African American community's largely twentieth-century legacy of wood and concrete markers.

 Press Information Sheet on 1996 TL66
Despite their often extreme proximity to Neptune's orbit, the plutinos do not in fact have the possibility of encountering Neptune itself, because the periods of revolution about the sun of the plutinos and Neptune are precisely in a ratio of three to two.
This means that, after three revolutions of Neptune and two of a plutino (about 500 years), the relative positions of the objects in their orbits repeat, and this cycle does not give the bodies an opportunity to pass within 10 or more astronomical units of each other.
He was already known by then as the only amateur in the world to have observed a member of the Kuiper Belt (other than Pluto) using amateur equipment, so it seemed likely that he would be able to obtain some measurements that would clinch the situation before 1996 TL was lost to view.

 ESA - Mars Express - Martian glaciers: did they originate from the atmosphere?
When the team compared the location and shape of the ‘simulated’ glaciers with the actual glacier-related deposits of Tharsis - one of the three main regions on the planet where signs of glaciers are seen - they found an excellent agreement.
In their simulations, the team could even ‘read’ why and how ice was accumulated on the flanks of these mountains in the Tharsis region millions of years ago.
Other mountains like Olympus Mons show smaller-scale deposits because, according to the simulations, they were exposed to the monsoon-type strong winds and water-rich air only during the northern summer.

 Nietzsche: The Problem of Autumn, photo feature from The Good European by Krell and Bates
Friedrich Nietzsche was acutely sensitive to place: to the taste of sea air, to the sweep of wind across the coast, to the narrow confines of medieval walls or the tumbling breadth of an Alpine vista framed by the window near his writing desk.
Even the beautiful Lake Garda, with its surrounding Dolomite Mountains [4], was too fickle to serve as a solution: the autumn could turn to winter in an instant, and that winter could last into May. Lago Maggiore [5] [6] offered a more stable climate.
It is quite probable that the last three centuries, in all the hues and refracted colors of their civilization, live on, quite close to us: they only have to be discovered.

 China - Three Gorges Dam - Yangtze - Worldpress.org
The idea of damming the Yangtze at the Three Gorges was first proposed in 1919 by Sun Yat-Sen, founder of the first Chinese republic.
“Three Gorges Dam authorities are still to clear up a miasma of financial mismanagement and...corruption that has hung over the project from 1992,” he reported on May 31.
As Patricia Adam, executive director of the Three Gorges Probe, a lobby dedicated to opposing the dam, told The South China Morning Post, “For decades, the debate over the Three Gorges has been between propagandists and experts who were brave enough to speak out about the proposed dam.
