For God, King, and People

For God, King, and People

Haskell Alexander B.

The University of North Carolina Press
2017
sidottu
By recovering a largely forgotten English Renaissance mindset that regarded sovereignty and Providence as being fundamentally entwined, Alexander Haskell reconnects concepts historians had before treated as separate categories and argues that the first English planters in Virginia operated within a deeply providential age rather than an era of early modern entrepreneurialism. These men did not merely settle Virginia; they and their London-based sponsors saw this first successful English venture in America as an exercise in divinely inspired and approved commonwealth creation. When the realities of Virginia complicated this humanist ideal, growing disillusionment and contention marked debates over the colony. Rather than just "selling" colonization to the realm, proponents instead needed to overcome profound and recurring doubts about whether God wanted English rule to cross the Atlantic and the process by which it was to happen. By contextualizing these debates within a late Renaissance phase in England, Haskell links increasing religious skepticism to the rise of decidedly secular conceptions of state power. Haskell offers a radical revision of accepted narratives of early modern state formation, locating it as an outcome, rather than as an antecedent, of colonial endeavor.

The Hard Way

The Hard Way

Brook Alexander B.

Bridge Works Publishing Co ,U.S.
2000
pokkari
Controversy swirls around the press and its performance today as much as it does around the events and issues the press covers, The focus usually is on the national or big-city newspapers and broadcasters. But America is primarily made up of small towns. The Hard Way takes us beneath the seemingly placid surface of one such town - and inside the office of its small weekly newspaper. The Hard Way examines the lives of the town's people and politicians and how they and their community are changed when their once-sleepy newspaper is injected with new purpose and vitality by a vigorous new owner and editor. Alexander ("Sandy") Brook was a Wall Street executive when he decided to leave the urban business life and buy the rundown weekly Star in Kennebunk, Maine. The Hard Way is the story of how, with integrity and truthfulness his standard, he built the paper into a crusading, prize-winning success. He did so in the face of awesome political and commercial pressures. In The Hard Way, Brook takes us with him as he and his newspaper confront arrogant and corrupt politicians, and businessmen whose projects threaten the environment. He goes to war to save the salt marshes, the beaches and the fragile and scenic river fronts from uncontrolled development. He takes us with him as he challenges hypocrisy and prejudice, and the vindictive misuse of political power. But this is not a story populated only with scoundrels. Brook tells with warmth and affection of the heroes he finds among the socalled "ordinary people" of small-town America - men and women driven by love of their community and love of the environment, people with whom he makes common cause. One of them is the irascible Herman Cohen, whose noisy one-man revolution topples a town government and provides a stirring lesson in democracy at work. The Hard Way examines the role of a small newspaper in our democracy as few, if any, books about the press have done. It does this with warmth and poignancy, for the civics

Dynamics and Control of Trajectory Tubes

Dynamics and Control of Trajectory Tubes

Kurzhanski Alexander B.; Varaiya Pravin

Birkhauser Verlag AG
2016
nidottu
This monograph presents theoretical methods involving the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman formalism in conjunction with set-valued techniques of nonlinear analysis to solve significant problems in dynamics and control. The emphasis is on issues of reachability, feedback control synthesis under complex state constraints, hard or double bounds on controls, and performance in finite time. Guaranteed state estimation, output feedback control, and hybrid dynamics are also discussed. Although the focus is on systems with linear structure, the authors indicate how to apply each approach to nonlinear and nonconvex systems. The main theoretical results lead to computational schemes based on extensions of ellipsoidal calculus that provide complete solutions to the problems. These computational schemes in turn yield software tools that can be applied effectively to high-dimensional systems. Ellipsoidal Techniques for Problems of Dynamics and Control: Theory and Computation will interest graduate and senior undergraduate students, as well as researchers and practitioners interested in control theory, its applications, and its computational realizations.

Students using this text will learn to understand the sources and nature of conflict; conflict styles and their own personal conflict style; mediation concepts and different styles of mediation; and appropriate resolution methods. Students will be able to recognize the styles of conflicting parties; prepare and conduct a mediation session; provide an orientation to mediation for the parties; facilitate a meaningful exchange between the parties; help the parties recognize their positions; facilitate the parties in finding their best alternatives to a court rendered judgment; and act as a scribe for the parties when they reach an agreement. The 4th edition has been substantially revised to update with new information and laws particularly around mediating in the virtual world. Additionally, the role-plays have been enhanced to provide more information and techniques.
