Mist And Shadow

Mist And Shadow

Thomas W. H. Crann

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
Four Kingdoms. Lost heroes returned. Darkness encroaching. Jardus, an ordinary young man, is inadvertently caught in a secret war between the protectors of his realm and an ancient evil that seeks to claim it. After being given the choice to join the legendary fighters that defend the realm, Jardus travels with his newfound friends and companions throughout the lands, and faces enemies wrenched out of myth. Along the way, unlikely alliances are forged, new enemies are revealed, battles are waged, and legend is revealed as reality. On his adventures, Jardus learns that he and his friends will eventually have to face the ruler of the dark forces that wish to dominate the free realms. Before this final encounter takes place, however, Jardus and his allies are forced to muster all those in defense of the realms to their side in order to overcome their foes.
Hume and the Politics of Enlightenment

Hume and the Politics of Enlightenment

Thomas W. Merrill

Cambridge University Press
2015
sidottu
'Methinks I am like a man, who having narrowly escap'd shipwreck', David Hume writes in A Treatise of Human Nature, 'has yet the temerity to put out to sea in the same leaky weather-beaten vessel, and even carries his ambition so far as to think of compassing the globe'. With these words, Hume begins a memorable depiction of the crisis of philosophy and his turn to moral and political philosophy as the path forward. In this groundbreaking work, Thomas W. Merrill shows how Hume's turn is the core of his thought, linking Hume's metaphysical and philosophical crisis to the moral-political inquiries of his mature thought. Merrill shows how Hume's comparison of himself to Socrates in the introduction to the Treatise illuminates the dramatic structure and argument of the book as a whole, and he traces Hume's underappreciated argument about the political role of philosophy in the Essays.

Numerical Relativity: Starting from Scratch

Numerical Relativity: Starting from Scratch

Thomas W. Baumgarte; Stuart L. Shapiro

Cambridge University Press
2021
sidottu
Numerical relativity has emerged as the key tool to model gravitational waves - recently detected for the first time - that are emitted when black holes or neutron stars collide. This book provides a pedagogical, accessible, and concise introduction to the subject. Relying heavily on analogies with Newtonian gravity, scalar fields and electromagnetic fields, it introduces key concepts of numerical relativity in a context familiar to readers without prior expertise in general relativity. Readers can explore these concepts by working through numerous exercises, and can see them 'in action' by experimenting with the accompanying Python sample codes, and so develop familiarity with many techniques commonly employed by publicly available numerical relativity codes. This is an attractive, student-friendly resource for short courses on numerical relativity, as well as providing supplementary reading for courses on general relativity and computational physics.

Genocide, Torture, and Terrorism

Genocide, Torture, and Terrorism

Thomas W. Simon

Palgrave Macmillan
2015
sidottu
We are understandably reluctant to "rank" moral atrocities. What is worse, genocide or terrorism? In this book, Thomas W. Simon argues that politicians use this to manipulate our sense of injustice by exaggerating terrorism and minimizing torture. He advocates for an international criminal code that encourages humanitarian intervention.
China's Changing Legal System

China's Changing Legal System

Thomas W. Simon; Chuan Feng; Leyton P. Nelson

Palgrave Macmillan
2015
sidottu
While much international attention has been focused on China's developing economy, dramatic changes are also taking place in its legal system. This book is a groundbreaking, comprehensive introduction to China's legal system, covering the major areas of both civil and criminal law. The authors present fascinating cases and balanced accounts of controversial issues, from copyright law to punishment. By letting Chinese lawyers and judges speak for themselves, the authors also allow readers a surprisingly candid insider's view of real life legal practice.
