Moby-Dick

Moby-Dick

Herman Melville

DOVER PUBLICATIONS INC.
2025
sidottu
Imagine a literary experience that takes you deep into the heart of the sea, where the line between man and nature blurs into an epic tale of obsession and revenge. Moby-Dick brings to life the unrelenting pursuit of the elusive white whale led by the formidable Captain Ahab. Herman Melville's monumental novel captures the essence of a thrilling maritime adventure while examining the profound psychological and philosophical battles that plague humanity. The Dover Bookshelf presents this sweeping narrative that showcases the overpowering beauty and danger of the ocean, complemented by symbolism and poetic prose. The story unfolds in this beautifully designed hardcover edition, with a step back in time to the great age of Yankee whaling. Moby-Dick is a rich exploration of the human spirit, the futility of vengeance, and the eternal struggle between humankind and the wild.

Moby Dick or, The Whale

Moby Dick or, The Whale

Herman Melville

University of California Press
1981
sidottu
This trade edition of "Moby-Dick" is a reduced version of the Arion Press "Moby-Dick", which was published in 1979 in a limited edition of 250 copies and has been hailed as a modern masterpiece of bookmaking. It was hand set under the supervision of one of America's finest book designers and printers. The initial letters that begin each chapter were designed especially for this book and christened "Leviathan". The illustrations, of places, creatures, objects or tools, and processes connected with nineteenth-century whaling, are original boxwood engravings by Massachusetts artist Barry Moser. The text of "Moby-Dick" used in this edition is based on that used in the critical edition of Melville's works published by the Northwestern University Press and the Newberry Library. This reduced version is smaller in size than the Arion edition and the California deluxe edition, but it includes all of the original pages and illustrations. It is printed in black only throughout, and it is not slipcased.

Cultural Moves

Cultural Moves

Herman S. Gray

University of California Press
2005
pokkari
Herman Gray takes a sweeping look at black popular culture over the past decade to explore culture's role in the push for black political power and social recognition. In a series of linked essays, he finds that black artists, scholars, musicians, and others have been instrumental in reconfiguring social and cultural life in the United States and he provocatively asks how black culture can now move beyond a preoccupation with inclusion and representation. Gray considers how Wynton Marsalis and his creation of a jazz canon at Lincoln Center acted to establish cultural visibility and legitimacy for jazz. Other essays address such topics as the work of the controversial artist Kara Walker; the relentless struggles for representation on network television when those networks are no longer the primary site of black or any other identity; and how black musicians such as Steve Coleman and George Lewis are using new technology to shape and extend black musical traditions and cultural identities.

Ritualised Friendship and the Greek City

Ritualised Friendship and the Greek City

Herman Gabriel

Cambridge University Press
2002
pokkari
In this book, Gabriel Herman offers a new interpretation of Greek xenia, a term traditionally rendered as ‘guest-friendship’. Drawing on contemporary literary sources and inscriptions as well as anthropology, sociology, and comparative evidence from other times, he shows that xenia was a bond of fictitious kinship akin to godparenthood, rather than a tie of hospitality or ordinary ‘friendship’. Starting off from this proposition, he develops a dynamic model of the formation of elite relationships and values. He explores the concepts of obligation and loyalty, gift and bribe, treason and patriotism, and places the Greek city within a new context of power relations. This book, which assumes no knowledge of Greek, will be of interest to students and teachers of ancient history and classics. It will also appeal to social and political scientists.

Introduction to the Mathematical and Statistical Foundations of Econometrics

Introduction to the Mathematical and Statistical Foundations of Econometrics

Herman J. Bierens

Cambridge University Press
2004
pokkari
This book is intended for use in a rigorous introductory PhD level course in econometrics, or in a field course in econometric theory. It covers the measure-theoretical foundation of probability theory, the multivariate normal distribution with its application to classical linear regression analysis, various laws of large numbers, central limit theorems and related results for independent random variables as well as for stationary time series, with applications to asymptotic inference of M-estimators, and maximum likelihood theory. Some chapters have their own appendices containing the more advanced topics and/or difficult proofs. Moreover, there are three appendices with material that is supposed to be known. Appendix I contains a comprehensive review of linear algebra, including all the proofs. Appendix II reviews a variety of mathematical topics and concepts that are used throughout the main text, and Appendix III reviews complex analysis. Therefore, this book is uniquely self-contained.

Terrestrial Ecosystems in Changing Environments

Terrestrial Ecosystems in Changing Environments

Herman H. Shugart

Cambridge University Press
1998
pokkari
Predicting how terrestrial ecosystems might respond in the future to large-scale human-generated changes is a major challenge for ecologists. In Terrestrial Ecosystems in Changing Environments, Herman H. Shugart describes the fundamental ecological concepts, theoretical developments, and quantitative analyses involved in understanding the responses of natural systems to change. The key ecological concepts described include the ecosystem paradigm, niche theory, vegetation/climate relationships, landscape ecology and ecological modelling. A variety of ecological models are presented, and their applications in predicting responses to change are considered. The challenge of producing ecological models capable of predicting long-term and large-area ecosystem dynamics is reviewed and several examples are provided. Finally, some of the exciting new findings regarding terrestrial landscapes and their feedback with their climatic setting are discussed in the context of human land-use and global change.

Sounds in the Sea

Sounds in the Sea

Herman Medwin

Cambridge University Press
2005
sidottu
Underwater acousticians and acoustical oceanographers use sound as the premier tool to determine the detailed characteristics of physical and biological bodies and processes at sea. Sounds in the Sea is a comprehensive and accessible textbook on ocean acoustics and acoustical oceanography. The first nine chapters provide the basic tools of ocean acoustics. The following fifteen chapters are written by many of the world's most successful ocean researchers. These chapters describe modern developments, and are divided into four sections: Studies of the Near Surface Ocean; Bioacoustical Studies; Studies of Ocean Dynamics; and Studies of the Ocean Bottom. This is an invaluable textbook for any course in ocean acoustics for the physical and biological ocean sciences, and engineering. It will also serve as a reference for researchers and professionals in ocean acoustics, and an excellent introduction to the topic for scientists from related fields.

Simulating the Physical World

Simulating the Physical World

Herman J. C. Berendsen

Cambridge University Press
2007
sidottu
Simulation of ‘reality’ is always based on a model of that reality. The models that are used in the various simulation approaches can be ordered in a hierarchical fashion from atomic to macroscopic. In this book the hierarchy of models of physical reality are treated systematically and evaluated in relation to applications. The purpose is to give the ‘simulant’ insight into the possibilities and limitations of the models. This is the first book to authoritatively cover the broad scope of simulation applications from quantum mechanics to fluid dynamics. The emphasis is on the physics behind the molecular models in chemistry and biochemistry, with practical guidance for applications and sample programs provided. This book will appeal to advanced level undergraduate and graduate students studying physical and computational science, as well as those working in interdisciplinary fields with an interest in simulation.
