A History of the Pyrrhic War

A History of the Pyrrhic War

Patrick Alan Kent

Taylor Francis Ltd
2021
nidottu
A History of the Pyrrhic War explores the multi-polar nature of a conflict that involved the Romans, peoples of Italy, western Greeks, and Carthaginians during Pyrrhus’ western campaign in the early third century BCE.The war occurred nearly a century before the first historical writings in Rome, resulting in a malleable narrative that emphasized the moral virtues of the Romans, transformed Pyrrhus into a figure that resembled Alexander the Great, disparaged the degeneracy of the Greeks, and demonstrated the malicious intent of the Carthaginians. Kent demonstrates the way events were shaped by later Roman generations to transform the complex geopolitical realities of the Pyrrhic War into a one-dimensional duel between themselves and Pyrrhus that anticipated their rise to greatness. This book analyses the Pyrrhic War through consideration of geopolitical context as well as how later Roman writers remembered the conflict. The focus of the war is taken off Pyrrhus as an individual and shifted towards evaluating the multifaceted interactions of the peoples of Italy and Sicily.A History of the Pyrrhic War is a fundamental resource for academic and learned general readers who have an interest in the interaction of developing imperial powers with their neighbors and how those events shaped the perceptions of later generations. It will be of interest not only to students of Roman history, but also to anyone working on historiography in any period.

A History of Radioecology

A History of Radioecology

Patrick C. Kangas

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2022
sidottu
This book presents a history of radioecology, from World War II through to the critical years of the Cold War, finishing with a discussion of recent developments and future implications for the field. Drawing on a vast array of primary sources, the book reviews, synthesizes and discusses the implications of the ecological research supported by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) of the United States government, from World War II to the early 1970s. This was a critical period in the history of ecology, characterized by a transition from the older, largely descriptive studies of communities of plants and animals to the modern form of the science involving functional studies of energy flow and mineral cycling in ecosystems. This transition was in large part due to the development of radioecology, which was a by-product of the Cold War and the need to understand and predict the consequences of a nuclear war that was planned but has never occurred. The book draws on important case studies, such as the Pacific Proving Grounds, the Nevada Test Site, El Verde in Puerto Rico, the Brookhaven National Laboratory and recent events such as the nuclear disasters at Chernobyl and Fukushima. By revisiting studies and archived information from the Cold War era, this book offers lessons from the history of radioecology to provide background and perspective for understanding possible present-day impacts from issues of radiation risks associated with nuclear power generation and waste disposal. Post-Cold War developments in radioecology will be also reviewed and contrasted with the AEC-supported ecology research for further perspectives. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of radioecology, environmental pollution, environmental technology, bioscience and environmental history.

Algorithm Design: A Methodological Approach - 150 problems and detailed solutions

Algorithm Design: A Methodological Approach - 150 problems and detailed solutions

Patrick Bosc; Marc Guyomard; Laurent Miclet

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2023
nidottu
A bestseller in its French edition, this book is original in its construction and its success in the French market demonstrates its appeal. It is based on three principles: (1) An organization of the chapters by families of algorithms: exhaustive search, divide and conquer, etc. On the contrary, there is no chapter devoted only to a systematic exposure of, say, algorithms on strings. Some of these will be found in different chapters. (2) For each family of algorithms, an introduction is given to the mathematical principles and the issues of a rigorous design, with one or two pedagogical examples. (3) For the most part, the book details 150 problems, spanning seven families of algorithms. For each problem, a precise and progressive statement is given. More importantly, a complete solution is detailed, with respect to the design principles that have been presented; often, some classical errors are pointed out. Roughly speaking, two-thirds of the book is devoted to the detailed rational construction of the solutions.

Ce monde porte au pouvoir la fausset , alors que son salut est dans l'authenticit , synonyme de modernit . Comment sortir de ce paradoxe destructeur ? Aujourd'hui, "L'authenticit l' preuve de la fausset . Quand les faux-culs se taillent la part du lion", tente d'apporter une r ponse rationnelle et singuli re cette question. La perfection n'est assur ment pas de ce monde, comme l'exemplarit d'ailleurs, mais est-ce une raison pour que ceux qui jouent avec le feu disposent, au gr de leurs pouvoirs, de ceux qui, visages d couverts, osent pointer les entorses l' thique et les injustices li es ces comportements borderline inacceptables ? Certes, les affaires succ dent aux affaires et il appartient la justice de faire la lumi re sur elles, mais cela est loin d' tre suffisant, d'autant que les r sultats ne sont pas l , que les crises s'installent durablement avec leurs cons quences conomiques, sociales et humaines, que la plan te est menac e par un d r glement climatique alarmant. Vouloir inverser la tendance, savoir mettre la fausset l' preuve de l'authenticit est ambitieux, mais indispensable pour ne pas dire vital. C'est le devoir d'honorabilit de chacun, en m me temps que le devoir de tous.

Man in a Cage

Man in a Cage dramatizes the true story of American naturalist Richard Garner's journey to west Africa in 1892. Garner makes his home in a cage deep in an African forest to learn the language of chimpanzees. Populated by bureaucrats, hunters, missionaries, and the indigenous peoples whose lands and lives they have intruded upon, Man in a Cage evokes life on the ground during the Scramble for Africa."A fascinating exploration of power, ethics, and what it means to colonize-and be colonized." -Sarah Layden, author of Trip Through Your Wires and The Story I Tell Myself About Myself"Evoking rich historical details while telling a story that feels urgently contemporary, Patrick Nevinsdoesn't merely set Man in a Cage in the 1890's--he unflinchingly embodies the era in a way that will thrill anyone with a love for deeply immersive literature. By adopting the structure and vocal timbre of a Gilded Age novel with pitch perfection (at times it felt as though I was reading a lost manuscript from Frank Norris--or some other long-forgotten practitioner of American Naturalism) Nevins conjures a world of colonizers, profiteers, and missionaries--and the harm they've inflicted upon every living thing on this planet--proving the old adage history doesn't repeat itself, but it does indeed rhyme." -Jeff Chon, author of Hashtag Good Guy With a Gun"Semi-fictional, filled with real and imagined characters, MAN IN A CAGE is a vivid and arresting portrayal of late 19th century researcher Richard Garner, a fanatic of sorts, determined to prove chimpanzees had complex language, while all those around him believed these "lesser creatures"merely grunted and howled. By creatively recreating Garner's first African expedition, Nevins deftly explores the rampant contradictions in Western religion, cultural appropriation, pillage, and greed that defined the Scramble for Africa. With meticulous attention to period detail, Nevins' MAN IN A CAGE provides an honest depiction of the racism inherent in the not to distant past, and sheds a cautionary light on the same issues, so unfortunately entrenched in our deeply flawed present. This is a sobering and important read." -Alice Kaltman, author of Dawg Towne

A Journal of Journeys is a collection of people and their stories as they rode the author's shuttle van between Flagstaff, Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, The Grand Canyon, and Sedona, Arizona.Patrick Payne, the professional driver out of retirement, again, and drawn back behind the wheel as if addicted to driving the open road. More specifically, those Arizona highways.Payne's own words, "When I drive, I'm at home. And I love it, always will." might describe his persona. Hooked on driving. And hooked on people, as making meaningful connections with unlikely characters became an almost every trip occurrence. Whimsical childhood reflections offered by contemporary interactions with passengers, serendipity, and an occasional dash of synchronicity served as the recipe for A Journal of Journeys.Finally, the author realizes that in addition to stories of people and their travels, he was writing a love story. The adventures romantic of so many people in the world caught up and participated in this huge but gentle swirling maelstrom of the journey, depositing their stories in Arizona and in his van. He then being charged with their eventual sharing in this book. This Journal of Journeys
