Cyclops by Euripides

Cyclops by Euripides

David Bolton

Lulu.com
2019
nidottu
A new translation of Cyclops, a Satyr play by Euripides. Cyclops is the only Satyr play to have survived in full. The Satyr plays took as their theme a well-known mythological story: here, the story is of Odysseus' encounter with the Cyclops, Polyphemus. Satyrs and their elderly leader, Silenus (whose sole desire is to spend an easy life honouring Bacchus with wine and pursuing nymphs) are introduced into the story, the Satyrs forming the chorus. In Cyclops, Silenus and his satyrs have already come into contact with Polyphemus and been enslaved by him. The Satyrs were not heroic, but are always ready to join in witty repartee - from a safe distance. Silenus provides much of the humour, derived in large measure from his insatiable desire for alcohol. The play follows the traditional storyline and reaches the traditional conclusion - with the escape of Odysseus and the remnants of his crew, accompanied in this case by the joyful Silenus and his Satyrs.

Euclid Elements

Euclid Elements

David Bolton

Lulu.com
2019
nidottu
A new translation of Euclid's 'Elements' together with a comprehensive introduction to each of the 'Elements'' books, all contained in a single volume. Euclid's 'Elements', produced c300 BC, superseded all previous attempts to identify the 'elements' of geometry and became the authoritative work on plane and solid geometry, number theory, proportion, and the irrationals to be relied upon and quoted by later Greek mathematicians. This edition contains a translation of Euclid's 'Elements' and discusses Euclid's methods - the development of axioms (postulates and common notions), the establishment of proofs derived from definitions, axioms and previously made proofs and the use of proof by contradiction. Each of the 'Elements' thirteen books is summarised and discussed in an introductory chapter. There is a fresh look at Euclid's treatment of rationality and commensurability, based as it was on comparisons of straight lines rather than numbers.

Conflict, Peace and Mental Health

Manchester University Press
2017
sidottu
What are the human consequences of conflict and what are the appropriate service responses? This book seeks to provide an answer to these important questions, drawing on over twenty-five years of work by the author in Northern Ireland and elsewhere. Focusing on the work undertaken following the Omagh bombing, the book describes how needs were assessed and understood, how evidence-based services were put in place, and the training and education programmes that were developed to assist first those communities affected by the bombing and later the wider population affected by the years of conflict. The author places the mental-health needs of affected communities at the heart of the political and peace processes that follow. This is a practical book and will be of particular interest to those planning for and responding to conflict-related disasters, policy makers, service commissioners and providers, politicians, civil servants and peace makers.
War Stories

War Stories

David Bolton

THE HISTORY PRESS LTD
2022
nidottu
After listening to his mother-in-law talking about her experiences in the Second World War, David Bolton set out to record the wartime memories of British women before it was too late. Many of those he interviewed were child evacuees, some were single mothers, two were ambulance drivers and another was the girlfriend of an American GI killed on D-Day. Other women remembered their experiences working as a young doctor in a POW camp, in a munitions factory filling shells or as a codebreaker at Bletchley Park.War Stories archives the memories of over fifty women in their own words, supplemented by memoirs and diary entries. All tell their very personal war stories with honesty, humour, an amazing memory for detail and a boldness sometimes bordering on the confessional – perhaps because this was their last chance to describe what it was really like to be female in those extraordinary times.
