Rook is based on the true story of Al Nussbaum. To his unsuspecting wife, Lolly, Al is a loving, chess playing, family man. To J. Edgar Hoover, he is the most cunning fugitive alive. Al is the mastermind behind a string of east coast robberies that has stumped law enforcement. After his partner, one-eyed Bobby Wilcoxson, kills a bank guard and wounds a New York City patrolman, Al is identified as one of the robbers and lands on top of the FBI's most wanted list. He is forced to flee his hometown of Buffalo, New York as the FBI closes in and Lolly learns of her husband's secret life. While Al assumes another identity and attempts to elude the police, Lolly is left alone to care for their infant daughter and adjust to her new life as 'The Bank Robber's Wife'. Friends, family, and federal agents all pressure Lolly to betray Al. While Lolly struggles at home financially, with unrelenting FBI agents, and her conscious, Al and Bobby continue to rob banks, even as Bobby grows more mentally unstable and dangerous. Al has only two goals: avoid capture and steal enough money to start a new life with his family. Returning to gather his wife and baby is suicidal, but as Al said, he'd only stick his neck in the Buffalo noose for Lolly.

Moral Damages

Moral Damages

Stephen G. Morris

Springer International Publishing AG
2025
sidottu
Despite the wide-ranging differences in people’s moral perspectives, there is near universal agreement that the world is generally better off when people allow morality to dictate their actions. But what if this view is wrong? What if the very thing that most people think is key to improving human relations is actually a primary contributor to unnecessary suffering and strife? In this book, Stephen G. Morris uses the latest empirical evidence to argue that eliminating all vestiges of morality from our lives (a position known as moral abolitionism) would likely yield benefits on both an individual and a societal level. Though the primary aim is to build a pragmatic case for why we ought to dispense with morality, Morris first argues that there are theoretical reasons for rejecting morality since we lack compelling arguments for the existence of moral facts. From there, he cites extensive evidence suggesting that morality does more harm than good through its negative influence on violence, politics, and personal relationships. Following a discussion of how we have at our disposal the necessary resources (i.e., empathy, prudential self-interest, and reason) to benefit humanity in a world without morality, Morris concludes by offering some specific steps societies could take to help eliminate morality’s corrupting influence and to improve human relations.

Kinetische Theorie II

Kinetische Theorie II

Stephen G. Brush

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden
1970
nidottu
Dies ist der zweite Band einer Sammlung grundlegender Arbeiten über die kinetische Gastheorie; er enthält ins­ besondere die zwei Arbeiten von MAXWELL und BOLTz­ MANN, in denen die Grundgleichungen für Transport­ prozesse in Gasen formuliert werden, einschließlich der ersten Herleitung des BOLTZMANNschen "H -Theorems", sowie eine Probe der späteren Diskussion dieses Satzes und des Irreversibilitätsproblems. Während wir uns in Band I darauf beschränkt haben, kurze Arbeiten relativ elementaren Charakters nachzu­ drucken, und von längeren Arbeiten nur Auszüge gegeben haben, wird der vorliegende Band fast vollständig von zwei ziemlich langen und ins einzelne gehenden Abhand­ lungen eingenommen. Wir hoffen, daß ernsthafte Stu­ dierende der Physik (fortgeschrittene Studenten oder Doktoranden) aus einem eingehenden Studium dieser Arbeiten Nutzen ziehen werden. Wenn auch einige der Ergebnisse der Untersuchungen MAXWELLS und BOLTz­ MANNS in moderne Lehrbücher eingegangen sind, werden die Ableitungen doch gewöhnlich in sehr geraffter Form dargeboten. Die Darstellung von BOLTZMANN fällt in das andere Extrem und ist vielleicht übermäßig kompliziert und wiederholt sich oft; dennoch kann man zu einem tieferen Verständnis des Gegenstandes gelangen, wenn man sich die Zeit nimmt, die Einzelheiten der Ableitungen zu verfolgen (wie auch aus der anhaltenden und zu Recht bestehenden Popularität des großartigen TOLMANschen Buches "The Principles of Statistical Mechanics" hervor­ geht).

Die Temperatur der Geschichte

Die Temperatur der Geschichte

Stephen G. Brush

"Da Mathematiker stets in denselben Bahnen zu denken pflegen, haben sie das freie Feld der Gedan- ken in eine Art Gleissystem gezwiingt und sind so versucht, querlaufende Spekulationen zu vernach- liissigen. " (fames Clerk Maxwell im Jahre 1873 zu Herbert Spencer; vgl. Duncan 1908: 162) Es wird wohl niemand bestreiten, dass die Entwicklung der modernen Wissenschaft ein wesentliches Moment der neueren Geschichte der Zivi- lisation bildet; die Wechselbeziehung zwischen den wissenschaftlichen Theorien und der Gesamtkultur wird jedoch nur selten genauer analy- siert. Die Faszination vieler technischer Errungenschaften hat in Ver- bindung mit der Schwerverstandlichkeit der wissenschaftlichen Aus- drucksform die Tatsache verschleiert, dass Wissenschaftler viele der in Philosophie, Literatur und Kunst massgeblichen Ideen aufgegriffen haben oder zumindest davon beeinflusst wurden. Deshalb wollen wir hier einige Ideen, die in der theoretischen Physik des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts eine wichtige Rolle spielten, untersuchen und sehen, in welcher Beziehung sie zu Stroemungen auf anderen Gebieten der Wissen- schaft und der Kultur stehen. Die in Wissenschaft und Kultur auftretenden Ideen koennen auf verschie- dene Weise miteinander verknupft sein. Es kommt vor, dass eine Idee aus dem Bereich der Kultur in den der Wissenschaft uberwechselt, wo sie bestimmte Theorierichtungen zu stimulieren, neue Experimente nahzulegen und zu neuen Entdeckungen zu fuhren vermag. Eben dies geschah mit dem aus der Romantik stammenden Gedanken der Einheit aller Naturkrafte.

Greek language edition. An English language edition of Nemea and Me, ISBN 978-618-5209-57-5, is also available, published in identical format. Stephen G. Miller (1942-2021), late Professor of Classical Archaeology at the University of California at Berkeley and former Director of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, presents his 46 years of archaeological discoveries at Ancient Nemea. The text, with nearly 1,800 colour and black and white illustrations, takes us from his earliest on-site efforts to the creation of an archaeological park and the revival of the ancient Nemean Games. Miller provides details of the most significant of his archaeological discoveries at Nemea. The book is a personal autobiography, a social history with many local anecdotes, a description of the creation of an archaeological park of about 180 stremmata with protective fencing and framing cypress trees, the construction of an archaeological museum and the discovery of thousands of ancient artifacts that have gone into it, the revival of the ancient Nemean Games (www.nemeangames.org), the reconstruction of six columns of the Temple of Nemean Zeus to add to those three that have always stood. His pride is perhaps most obvious as he details the contributions of the local people to the realization of his dream, and their developing pride in their own work as well as his. Two volumes, large format Illustrated throughout in colour and black & white

From Christian Hebraism to Jewish Studies

From Christian Hebraism to Jewish Studies

Stephen G. Burnett

Brill
1997
sidottu
This book examines how Johannes Buxtorf's works helped to transform seventeenth-century Hebrew studies from the hobby of a few experts into a recognized academic discipline. The first two chapters examine Buxtorf's career as a professor of Hebrew and as an editor and censor of Jewish books in Basel. Successive chapters analyze his anti-Jewish polemical books, grammars and lexicons, and manuals for Hebrew composition and literature, including the first bibliography devoted to Jewish books. The final chapters treat his work in biblical studies, examining his contribution to Targum and Massorah studies, and his position on the age and doctrinal authority of the Hebrew vowel points. The chapters on anti-Jewish polemics and the vowel points will interest Jewish historians and Church historians.

Religion and Education: Framing and Mapping a Field

Religion and Education: Framing and Mapping a Field

Stephen G. Parker; J. Berglund; David Lewin; Deirdre Raftery

BRILL
2019
nidottu
This publication makes the case for ‘religion and education’ as a distinct, but cross-disciplinary, field of inquiry. To begin with, consideration is given to the changing dynamic between ‘religion and education’ historically, and the differing understandings of religious education within it. Next, ‘religion and education’ is examined from methodologically specific perspectives, namely the philosophical, historical, sociological and psychological. The authors outline the particular insights to be gleaned about ‘religion and education’ on the basis of their commitment to these methodological standpoints. Overall, this publication is concerned with demonstrating the scope of the field, and the importance of having a range of disciplinary, and interdisciplinary, perspectives informing it.
