Davy Sound
The Davy Sound ( da, Davy Sund) is a sound in King Christian X Land, Northeast Greenland. Administratively it is part of the Northeast Greenland National Park zone. History The sound was named and put on the map by William Scoresby (1789 – 1857) in 1822 in honour of Cornish chemist and inventor Sir Humphry Davy (1778 – 1829), president of the Royal Society from 1820 to 1827. In 1899, during the Swedish Greenland Expedition on which Swedish Arctic explorer Alfred Gabriel Nathorst found and first mapped King Oscar Fjord, he made southwards for the Davy Sound after having entered from Antarctic Sound. But Davy sound was blocked by ice and Nathorst had to travel back north. Nathorst proposed 72° 10′ N as the northern limit of Davy Sound, which is roughly the present day geographic limit. Lieut. P. F. White of the Cambridge Expedition to East Greenland suggested that the limit of the Davy Sound should be expanded until 72° 30′, at the bend in the fjord trending northward ...

Davy (crater)
Davy is a small lunar impact crater that is located on the eastern edge of the Mare Nubium. It was named after British physicist Humphry Davy. It overlies the lava-flooded remains of the satellite crater Davy Y to the east, a formation which contains a crater chain designated Catena Davy. To the southeast of Davy is the prominent crater Alphonsus. The outer rim of Davy is low, and the interior has been partly resurfaced. The perimeter is somewhat polygonal in shape, especially in the western half, and the southeast rim has been overlain by Davy A. The latter is bowl-shaped with a notch in the northern rim. The interior of Davy lacks a central peak, although there are some low central mounds and the rim of Davy Y forms a low ridge leading from the northern outer rim. Catena Davy This linear string of 23 tiny craters runs from the midpoint of Davy Y towards the walled basin Ptolemaeus, following a slightly curving course to the east-northeast. It is located at selenographic coordi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Davy (novel)
''Davy ''is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by American writer Edgar Pangborn, nominated for the 1965 Hugo Award. It is set in the Northeastern United States some centuries after an atomic war ended high-technology civilization, with some scenes on an unnamed Atlantic island. The novel is a bildungsroman, following its title character, Davy (who grew up a ward of the state and thus has no last name) as he grows to manhood in a pseudo-medieval society dominated by a Church that actively suppresses technology, banning "anything that may contain atoms." Davy begins as an indentured servant in an inn, but escapes, and most of the novel is concerned with his adventures. The book is written as though Davy himself were writing his memoirs, with footnotes by people who knew him. The novel's post-apocalyptic setting was also used in the novel ''The Company of Glory'' (1975) (set several centuries earlier). The fall of old technological culture and the rise of the religion of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Revenge (Janis Ian Album)
''Revenge'' is the fifteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Janis Ian, released in 1995. Like her preceding comeback album ''Breaking Silence'', it was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee, where Ian had been living since 1988. The title was intended as a riposte against the major record labels who had dropped her permanently after her past few albums had failed to sell in substantial numbers. Despite this, Janis and co-producer John Jennings hired what she considered her “dream band” for the sessions, and when ''Revenge'' was completed Janis considered it the most commercial album she had ever recorded. It included one song co-written with Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes. ''Revenge'' was originally released as the first album on a new Los Angeles independent label called Beacon Records; however, the project collapsed soon after the album came out, and the album would be put out by a variety of labels, amongst them her old Columbia and Festival A festival is an ev ...
