Dickdioxide Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 BUY or ONLINE* Sheffield: Webster's Quotations, Facts and Phrases Sheffield in Literature/Non fiction / script/ government/ journalism /patent/ bibliographic/ encyclopedic/ lexicographic Description Ever need a fact or quotation on Sheffield? Designed for speechwriters, journalists, writers, researchers, students, professors, teachers, historians, academics, scrapbookers, trivia buffs and word lovers, this is the largest book ever created for this single word. It represents a compilation from a variety of sources with a linguistic emphasis on anything relating to the term “Sheffield,” including non-conventional usage and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities. The entries cover all parts of speech (noun, verb, adverb or adjective usage) as well as use in modern slang, pop culture, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This “data dump” results in many unexpected examples for Sheffield, since the editorial decision to include or exclude terms is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under “fair use” conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain. Proceeds from this book are used to expand the content and coverage of Webster’s Online Dictionary (www.websters-online-dictionary.org). By Icon Group International, Inc.

Guest alex birks Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Calling all cinema projectionists, I want your help! Dear Sir/Madame, My name is Alex Birks, a final year Masters student, studying Graphic Design at Sheffield Hallam University. I am currently undertaking a large research based study, on the rise and fall of cinema, starting from the early 1900s to the present day. I have been focusing on the many changes to film making throughout time, such as black & white silent films, atmospheric theatre, the triumph in talking pictures, Technicolor, etc. I have also been paying close attention to cinema technology and the roles of the cinema staff, required to run a functioning theatre. I have recently visited 'The Cinema Museum' in London, where I met Ronald Grant, a cinema enthusiast who has devoted his life to preserving the cinema experience, since it began in the late 1800s. After sharing stories and speaking to him over the course of the visit, I gained a strong interest in the projectionist and how they have adapted to the changes in both technology and the requirements of cinema-goers. This letter is addressed to anybody who has been involved in cinema over the years, particularly before the introduction of the multi-plex cinema, as I would like to find out more. As part of my final product I would like to document an encounter I have had with someone involved in the cinema, as a biography/information piece. If you, or anybody you know could qualify for this position please could you get in contact with me. This will be a tremendously exiting opportunity, and a great way to share your enthusiasm with many people, both educated and non-educated in the subject. I live in Sheffield and would be prepared to travel to meet you. Thank you for listening to my proposal. Yours Faithfully, Alexander Birks Contact details: e-mail – alexbirks88@yahoo.com Mobile - 07706336517 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madannie77 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I can't see this one in the bibliography, although I think it has been mentioned elsewhere: The Story of Sheffield, by John Derry and issued under the authority of the Sheffield Education Committee. No publication date, but a timeline in the back of the book stops at 1914 and my copy has a handwritten date of March 1917. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
