Thomas Gray among the Disciplines
TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
sidottu
Throughout the 250 years that have passed since Thomas Gray’s death, he has primarily been celebrated as a poet. This makes sense because, although he published relatively little verse, he published less – indeed, precisely nothing – of his abundant polymathic writing in other fields. His place within the history of scholarship has therefore been obscured. Like many eighteenth-century antiquaries, however, he shared his learning through correspondence and manuscript circulation and thereby influenced intellectual as well as literary life. This book explores Gray’s scholarship within the changing norms of eighteenth-century disciplines, at once locating him within histories of specialisation and examining the ways in which he challenges their narratives. Scholars from across the humanities reveal his methods and global interests and analyse many newly uncovered manuscripts. Offering fresh understanding of broader fields through focused investigation of Gray’s multidisciplinary writings, the book will appeal to scholars of eighteenth-century literary, intellectual, and scientific history.
Maritime Gray Zone Operations

This book addresses the issues raised by Chinese and North Korean maritime ‘gray zone’ activities in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.For years, China has been harassing its neighbors in South China Sea and East China Sea, employing both coast guard and maritime militia forces, in the name of safeguarding Chinese sovereignty. This behavior is frequently characterized as constituting ‘gray zone’ activity. As the term suggests, this refers to a state of conflict that falls between peace and war. Interestingly, the Yellow Sea, which is geographically much closer to China than South China Sea or East China Sea, has been comparatively quiet. However, there is a danger that the PRC has the capability to replicate its gray zone activities in this area. Worse, North Korea has also been engaging in carefully-calibrated provocations there. This book addresses pressing questions about these activities and offers: (1) a conceptual framework to understand maritime gray zone operations and Beijing and Pyongyang’s approach, with an unprecedented focus on the Yellow Sea; (2) a comprehensive, fully updated fleet force structure for the PRC’s Coast Guard, together with projections regarding how the Coast Guard is likely to develop in the future; (3) an extensive organizational analysis of the PRC’s Maritime Militia that surveys the many units relevant to Yellow Sea operations, some revealed publicly for the first time; and (4) a detailed assessment of North Korean maritime ‘gray zone’ activities. This book will be of great interest to students of naval strategy, maritime security, Asian politics, and international security.

Lana Gray, vampire hacker extraordinaire gets asked to help when a young werewolf girl goes missing, possibly at the hands of another vampire. Too bad the man in charge of the case is Detective Bane Lucas who can't seem to stand Lana and her vampire antics. Lana is something of a celebrity in the nonhuman world, not for being a vampire, but for being orphaned by her sire, who is still unknown after fifty years. What kind of cruel monster would turn a young girl against her will and leave her for dead? Lana would love to get his name and ask him directly, but she's never found a lead to his identity. Detective Bane Lucas may be the alpha of his pack, a well-respected Dallas detective and drop dead handsome but he is majorly hands off to Lana. Vampires can't fraternize with wolves and that's tragic because Lana would really like to get her hands on Bane. The Vampire Magistrate keeps making it harder for Bane and Lana to find the missing girl, despite the fact that Lana is having an affair with him. Vampire politics are harsh and confusing and even mind-blowing sex isn't enough to break the rules apparently. Lana decides she wants to step out from behind the computer and do some field work to find who has the kidnapped girl, but that involves the outdoors. There is nothing Lana hates as much as the outdoors, except for snakes. Bane disagrees with Lana about letting her operate in the field even after he finds out more kids are missing. He doesn't seem to believe that despite her small size she is capable of defending herself. He keeps forgetting she's an apex predator too, maybe she needs to remind him. Can Lana find the missing kids before the worst happens? What can a pint size vampire do against an army of vampires? Sarcastic wit and sharp nails may not be enough. Will Bane be there to help her rescue them from their captors or will he be too late? At the end of the day the ultra harsh rules of the Magistrate might be the undoing of Lana Gray when it comes time to face the consequences for how everything played out. She can't let Bane take the blame and she's not afraid to trade places with him to satiate her need for justice to be served.

Biblical grays are topics in the bible that most wouldn't consider being something that is "black and white" when it comes to interpretation. Much like gray areas, biblical grays tend to require more thought and study in order to produce a comfortable interpretation that would be hard to disprove. A "black and white" topic in scripture is written in plain, understandable text, and means exactly what it says. When reading texts and searching for the proper interpretation, what is often taught is that texts should be read within its appropriate context. What many miss is that the appropriate context cannot be limited to the section of the chapter (or entire chapter) the text comes from. The appropriate context is both within the chapter the text is derived from and the Bible in its entirety. Biblical grays can arise from the most unambiguous verses. In this book title Biblical Gray, we will look at nine of the most outlandish of biblical grays plaguing the church world today. Many of these biblical grays have been ingrained within our minds, especially for those who grew up in the church. We have been brainwashed to believe beliefs that aren't even biblical, mostly because these beliefs sound good. Being taught something that is erroneous over and over again may sometimes begin to make sense, to the point that it becomes doctrine. Unfortunately, these nine biblical grays have become just that, as they have been taught for generation after generation without ever being questioned through the deep study of God's Word.
