This book presents comprehensive political, social and economic statistics on the 24 OECD countries. The book is divided into two main sections. The first section features comparative tables covering all countries. It contains data on population structure, employment, economy, industry, public expenditure and taxation, government structure, and electoral data. The second section covers the most significant features of government and politics. It provides information on state structure and offices, parties, government constitutions, electoral and voting systems, and basic materials about economic interest, organisations and the media.Less

From a single proposition p we form its negation not-p. From two propositions p and q we form various further propositions, e.g., p or q, p and q, etc.; similarly (though less often) with three or more propositions. For each such method of forming propositions it is common to speak of a certain truth-function as corresponding to it. On the one hand, there is a function which takes senses of propositions as inputs and returns the sense of a proposition as output. On the other hand, there is a truth-function, i.e., a function taking some finite number of truth-values as arguments and giving a single truth-value as value, which is representable by a truth-table or truth-diagram. This chapter discusses the relationship between the two.Less

The mathematical table, as a paper-based artefact, is close to the end of its technological life. Tables had two main uses — as a calculating aid (such as a logarithm table) and as a data storage device (such as an actuarial or census table). Logarithmic tables have now been made obsolete by the electronic calculator, while data tables are increasingly being replaced by online databases. Examples of these uses of tables have been given in several of the previous chapters. The decline in the use of tables was much in evidence before the arrival of the electronic spreadsheet on the scene, and by and large the spreadsheet has not taken over these functions of the table. Yet, the perception of the spreadsheet as an historical successor to the table is intuitive and appealing. This chapter considers the sense in which this can be said to be true.Less

The oldest known mathematical table was found in the ancient Sumerian city of Shuruppag in southern Iraq. Since then, tables have been an important feature of mathematical activity; table making and printed tabular matter are important precursors to modern computing and information processing. This book contains a series of chapters summarizing the technical, institutional, and intellectual history of mathematical tables from earliest times until the late 20th century. It covers mathematical tables (the most important computing aid for several hundred years until the 1960s), data tables (e.g., Census tables), professional tables (e.g., insurance tables), and spreadsheets — the most recent tabular innovation. This book captures the history of tables through eleven chapters. The contributors describe the various information processing techniques and artefacts whose unifying concept is ‘the mathematical table’.Less

The British Association for the Advancement of Science was established in 1831 to promote the public understanding of science, an activity in which it is still has an important role today. By the 1870s it had come to play a central part in scientific life in England. This chapter discusses the creation of the Mathematical Tables Committee, which was prompted by the increasing amount of computation being required in scientific research especially in the physical sciences. Mathematical tables were the main computing tool for physicists, engineers, and mathematicians during the 19th century and had become increasingly numerous and diverse.Less

This chapter discusses the Mathematical Tables Project, which was created by the Work Projects Administration (WPA), a government agency that attempted to create jobs for ‘employable workers’. Over its ten year existence, the Mathematical Tables Project was constantly forced to argue for the value of its work. Each new calculation required the project leaders to claim that they knew what they were doing, that their computers were adequately trained, and that the final values could be trusted. For the most part, they suffered the damning criticism of faint praise from scientists.Less

A large set of logarithmic and trigonometric tables was produced at the end of the 18th century under the direction of Gaspard Riche de Prony. Although they were completed in 1801, their size made publication a costly task and it was never done, despite the fact that printing was started more than once and various efforts were made over the years to find finance. This chapter discusses the eventual publication of a reduced edition of some tables in 1891, and the influence of de Prony's project on Charles Babbage's work.Less

There has been a progressive opening up in the mobility regime in France from the start of the seventies. It is apparent in both men’s mobility and women’s mobility, is also revealed by an analysis of ‘complete’ mobility tables, and is scarcely sensitive to the treatment of unemployed and retired persons in the analysis, or to the detail of the class schema. This opening up resulted from a decline in the hierarchical divisions within the class structure and from a reduced distance between the agricultural classes and the others. Finally, introducing education between class origin and class destination reveals that the opening up of the mobility regime resulted from three components: a decrease in inequality of educational opportunity, a weakening in the relative occupational advantage afforded by education, and a compositional effect (educational expansion increased the size of more qualified groups in which the direct effect of origin on destination is generally weaker).Less

This chapter focuses on the invention and evolution of the numerical table as an information storage device. This was not a one-off event, with clearly traceable consequences across an ever-widening arena of functions, contexts, and cultures. Rather, even within the single cultural milieu of ancient Mesopotamia, there is a fitful pattern of invention, partial adoption, disappearance, and re-invention time after time over the course of some two and a half millennia. Broadly speaking, documents with tabular formatting could be found in three distinct Mesopotamian locales: in the large institutional administrative archives of Sumer and Babylonia; amongst the detritus of scribal schooling, especially in mathematics and metrology; and, later, in the scholarly libraries attached to the great temples of Assyria and Babylonia. All three are examined in turn.Less

When machines are mentioned in the context of table making it is their role as calculators that tends to be emphasized. The mechanization of other processes, specifically transcription, typesetting, proof reading, printing, binding, and distribution, have received less attention perhaps because they are seen to be part of book production and not distinctively belonging to table making. This chapter discusses the interplay between machines and the wider processes involved in table making.Less

This book asks how our culture came to frown on using books for any purpose other than reading. When did the coffee-table book become an object of scorn? Why did law courts forbid witnesses to kiss the Bible? What made Victorian cartoonists mock commuters who hid behind the newspaper, ladies who matched their books' binding to their dress, and servants who reduced newspapers to fish n' chips wrap? Shedding new light on novels by Thackeray, Dickens, the Brontës, Trollope, and Collins, as well as the urban sociology of Henry Mayhew, the book also uncovers the lives and afterlives of anonymous religious tracts and household manuals. From knickknacks to wastepaper, books mattered to the Victorians in ways that cannot be explained by their printed content alone. And whether displayed, defaced, exchanged, or discarded, printed matter participated, and still participates, in a range of transactions that stretches far beyond reading. Supplementing close readings with a sensitive reconstruction of how Victorians thought and felt about books, this book offers a new model for integrating literary theory with cultural history. The book reshapes our understanding of the interplay between words and objects in the nineteenth century and beyond.Less
