The quality of the American character, the structure of American society, and the meaning of America's historical experience all had important implications for John Adams' political thought. Professor Howe explores the relationships that developed between the satisfactions of Adam's life and Adams' outlook on American society. He concludes that as Adams' understanding of the American character and its values changed, so did his evaluation of American society and its political problems. Originally published in 1966. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Hubert Howe Bancroft's 10-volume BOOK OF WEALTH explores the origins and influence of wealth, from the earliest civilizations to the dawn of the Twentieth Century. The books offer an in-depth look at the history of economics and finance relative to the history of the human race, and include Bancroft's extraordinary insights into the psychology of economic exchange as he examines the individuals, organizations and nations that have attained great wealth.In BOOK NINE, Bancroft examines the Southern and Central United States, with special emphasis on Chicago and its surrounding area, one of the most important parts of America - perhaps the entire world - according to Bancroft. He includes biographies of the men (and a few women) responsible for the early development and rapid growth of this economic and cultural powerhouse.The latter half of the book discusses the Art and Architecture of Greece & Italy, particularly the works created during the height of the ancient empires' Classic Era.Lastly, Bancroft turns his critical eye to the Art and Architecture of the Early Christian and Byzantine Periods... and finds it mostly lacking.
Between the Declaration of Independence and the federal constitution, the American revolutionary generation produced an enormous body of writing on political matters. Using the written word as an instrument of political action, they articulated ideologies, negotiated conflicts, and charted the future of a new nation. In the process, John Howe argues, American writers effected a fundamental transformation in the nature and expressive purposes of political language. Turning away from earlier assumptions about the capacity of language to capture universal truths and contain human behavior, they fashioned a new discursive practice based on the recognition that the language of politics, far from being fixed or even stable in structure and meaning, evolves over time. Securely in place by 1790 and clearly evident in the Federalist papers, this new language of political experimentation was well suited to the rapidly changing, open ended circumstances of American life. More than that, it proved essential to the emergence of a democratic politics. As Howe shows, only when language came to be used for the continuing exploration of political truth, only when it served to further popular discussion of contested ideas, could the construction of a genuinely democratic dialogue proceed. By challenging the notion that the founders of the republic were fully confident about the clarity or permanence of their language, this book also has implications for the ongoing debate over the doctrine of "original intent." According to Howe, the framers understood the constitution to be the product of a hurried and contentious process, reflective of the limitations of human intellect and the imperfections of human language. They saw it, in short, as but an approximation of universal truth, an approximation that future generations were certain to improve.
Der Wärmeübergang durch Strahlung hat in den letzten Jahren erheblich an Bedeutung gewonnen, vor allem durch die Raumfahrttechnik, Sonnenenergiegewinnung, Energiesparmaßnahmen usw. Dieser Band der Reihe enthält die theoretischen Grundlagen der Temperaturstrahlung, eine eingehende Behandlung des "idealen Strahlers" - des Schwarzen Körpers -, die klassische elektromagnetische Theorie, insoweit sie zur Berechnung der Strahlungseigenschaften von Leitern und Nichtleitern herangezogen werden kann, Materialeigenschaften - speziell der Oberfläche - und deren gezielte Beeinflussung werden beschrieben. An den deutschen Hochschulen wird dieses Gebiet jedoch kaum ausführlich behandelt. Das Buch soll daher sowohl den Studenten als die Vorlesung begleitendes Lehrbuch als auch dem planenden Ingenieur und Praktiker als Lehrbuch zum Selbststudium und als Nachschlagewerk dienen. Durchgerechnete Beispiele sollen helfen, die Theorie mit der Praxis zu verbinden.
Das mit dem vorliegenden Teil 3 abgeschlossene dreib{ndige Werk liefert eineausf}hrliche und vollst{ndige Beschreibung der W{rme}bertragung durch Strahlung. Es zeichnet sich durch eine detaillierte Ableitung der Gesetze f}r den W{rme}bergang durch Strahlung, eine sorgf{ltige Darstellung der Bedingungen, denen die Strahlungsgesetze unterliegen, und zahlreiche erl{uternde Beispiele und Aufgaben aus. Band 3 behandelt die W{rme}bertragung von absorbierenden, emittierenden und streuenden Medien. Das Buch wendet sich nicht nur an Studenten der h|heren Semester, sondern vor allem an den planenden Ingenieur zur Fortbildung und zum Nachschlagen.
This book is the start of an effort to organize and bring some structure to this area of numismatics - i.e. to break down the vast numbers of different varieties (dies and die combinations) into related groups that we call Families. A Family of non-regal varieties is basically a number of coins that have been grouped together, as most likely having come out of the same minting operation at about the same time. A Family group is held together due to sharing of dies between members of the group, sharing of die making punches among the varieties, and similarities in the style of how the coins in the group look. This concept is explored further within the monograph. This is the first volume of a series of monographs that will try to categorize and put order to the large number of varieties of King George II and King George III non-regal coppers.

At the beginning of the twenty-first century environmental change is a pressing public issue, and not just in the rich countries of the northern hemisphere. "Natures Past" seeks to lend some historical depth to current debates about modifications of ecological processes and systems, and also to explore the global dimensions of the dynamic. The ten essays in "Natures Past" bridge the chasm between orthodox environmental history and other novel approaches to understanding the place of human communities in past biophysical environments. Discussions of malaria-bearing mosquitoes, Maine lobster fishing, Bornean durian husbandry, and American lawn mowing, among other things, suggest how ecology, culture, and market interact to change the fate, and the value, of nature in each context. This collection, comprised of contributions by anthropologists, foresters, historians, and literature specialists, shows that long before the twentieth century humans caused, worried about, and endured changes in the natural world they inhabited. "Natures Past" thus creates better, more nuanced, richer, and more complex understandings of the longstanding dialectic between people and their environments, and introduces to readers the wealth of perspectives and insights that a careful consideration of past interactions between people and their natural environments makes possible.
This unique textbook describes how past changes in sea-level can be detected through an analysis of the sedimentary record. In particular, it concentrates on the current sequence stratigraphy model. It explains this model from basics and shows how the model can be applied to both siliciclastic and carbonate successions. Designed for undergraduate and graduate courses in sequence stratigraphy, as well as for professional courses within the petroleum industry, this full-colour textbook includes numerous features that will aid tutors and students alike. These include detailed case studies demonstrating the practical applications of sequence stratigraphy and set-aside boxes providing supplementary and background information. Bulleted questions and answers are interspersed throughout the text, encouraging students to test their understanding of the material. The book is supported by a website hosting sample pages from the book, selected illustrations to download, and worked exercises.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the National Academies of Science held a symposium, in memory of Dr. John R. La Montagne on April 4-5, 2005, to discuss the current state of the art of research on pandemic influenza and to identify gaps in research. The symposium serves as a first step of discussion towards a combined and coordinated research effort among Department of Health and Human Services agencies, other governmental agencies, international partners and the private sector. The statement of task that guided the Symposium agenda included these specific questions: What is the current state of the science on pandemic influenza research? What are the pressing unmet scientific questions and technical issues? What administrative, logistic or legal impediments exist that block progress towards the development of interventions to respond to pandemic influenza? How can collaboration among Global health Security Action Group nations be strengthened to address unmet scientific questions and technical issues related to research on pandemic influenza? What do experts believe are the most important next steps to take to advance research on pandemic influenza? The Proceedings of the John La Montagne Memorial Symposium on Pandemic Influenza Research Gaps represents a slightly edited transcript of the plenary presentations, rapporteur presentations, plenary discussion and presentation slides.
