SWEDENBORG'S DREAM DIARY

SWEDENBORG'S DREAM DIARY

LARS BERGQUIST

CHRYSALIS BOOKS (SWEDENBORG FOUNDATION)
2001
sidottu
Swedish man of letters Lars Bergquist explains the often enigmatic but always fascinating dream journal kept by Emanuel Swedenborg from 1743 to 1744. A scientist, Swedenborg meticulously recorded his dreams and visions, adding interpretations that foreshadowed modern dream analysis. After an Easter vision in 1745, Swedenborg abandoned his scientific studies and dedicated his life to studying the inner meaning of Sacred Scripture. In his diary, he reveals his daily life and the reflections that are a key to understanding his later spiritual works. "The book enables us to follow Swedenborg...from dismal gloom to inner splendor." --Gunnar Bronerg, Upsala Nya Tidning

Introduction to the Mathematics of Subdivision Surfaces

Introduction to the Mathematics of Subdivision Surfaces

Lars-erik Andersson; Neil F. Stewart

Society for Industrial Applied Mathematics,U.S.
2010
sidottu
Subdivision surfaces permit a designer to specify the approximate form of a surface defining an object and to refine and smooth the form to obtain a more useful or attractive version of the surface. A considerable amount of mathematical theory is required to understand the characteristics of the resulting surfaces, and this book provides a careful and rigorous presentation of the mathematics underlying subdivision surfaces as used in computer graphics and animation, explaining the concepts necessary to easily read the subdivision literature. It also organizes subdivision methods in a unique and unambiguous hierarchy in order to provide insight and understanding. The material is not restricted to questions related to regularity of subdivision surfaces at so-called extraordinary points but instead gives a broad discussion of the various methods. It is excellent preparation for reading more advanced texts that delve more deeply into special questions of regularity. The authors provide exercises and projects at the end of each chapter. Course material, including solutions to the exercises, is available on an associated Web page.

Breaking the House of Pamunkey: The Final Powhatan War and the Fall of an American and Indian Empire

Breaking the House of Pamunkey: The Final Powhatan War and the Fall of an American and Indian Empire

Most have heard of the story of Jamestown. Pocahontas saves John Smith and the rest of the colony from starvation in a romantic bedtime story. But there is a version not often told. A story of extreme violence and retribution as Pocahontas's uncle rose to power among the Powhatan people and led his people in the deadliest assault ever carried out by an indigenous group against a European settlement, before or since. It is a story of revenge and genocide. This is the story of the Powhatan War of 1644. Most studies focusing on this Third Anglo-Powhatan War have been no longer than two paragraphs in length, about the size of an encyclopedia entry. Read as an epitaph of the Powhatan people rather than as a turning point, the Powhatan Nations usually fade from the view of history following this poorly understood war. In the world's first book-length study of the Third Anglo-Powhatan War, award winning historian Lars C. Adams brings forth new documentation and greater detail than ever before, illuminating a lost chapter in North American history. To indigenous people in Virginia whose present reservations and land bases stem directly from the ultimate results of this war, this narrative challenges the popular notion that Pocahontas's people invited the newcomers with open arms. The message they sent was clear. You are no longer welcome in our land. In a stunning series of raids, Opechancano, though elderly and unable to stand, led his people to a major victory on April 18, 1644, by suddenly attacking the Virginian frontier, killing up to 500 settlers and cutting off isolated garrisons from supplies. All of Virginia was now under siege a time when mainland England was locked in a civil war and was unable to assist the struggling colony. Though Virginia successfully countered the assault, they expended the last of their ammunition in the effort, giving the Powhatans a chance to press the advantage. It was not until Virginia was forced to purchase supplies from the anti-crown faction in England that the tide would be turned in Virginia's favor. Opechancano would be captured, jailed, and shot in the back by his guard. His people, however, would survive. And though their troubles were far from over, continue to this day to be an active and thriving indigenous people.
