The Horrell Wars

The Horrell Wars

David Johnson; Bill O'Neal

University of North Texas Press,U.S.
2014
sidottu
For decades the Horrell brothers of Lampasas, Texas, have been portrayed as ruthless killers and outlaws, but author David Johnson paints a different picture of these controversial men. The Horrells were ranchers, but some thought that they built their herds by rustling. Their initial confrontation with the State Police at Lampasas in 1873 marked the most disastrous shootout in Reconstruction history. The brothers and loyal friends then fled to New Mexico, where they became entangled in what would later evolve into the violent Lincoln County War. The brothers returned to Texas, where in time they became involved in the Horrell-Higgins War. The family was nearly wiped out following the feud when two of the brothers were killed by a mob. Only one member of the family, Sam, Jr., lived to old age and died of natural causes.

Quantum Computing Devices

Quantum Computing Devices

Goong Chen; David A. Church; Berthold-Georg Englert; Carsten Henkel; Bernd Rohwedder; Marlan O. Scully; M. Suhail Zubairy

Chapman Hall/CRC
2006
sidottu
One of the first books to thoroughly examine the subject, Quantum Computing Devices: Principles, Designs, and Analysis covers the essential components in the design of a "real" quantum computer. It explores contemporary and important aspects of quantum computation, particularly focusing on the role of quantum electronic devices as quantum gates. Largely self-contained and written in a tutorial style, this reference presents the analysis, design, and modeling of the major types of quantum computing devices: ion traps, cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED), linear optics, quantum dots, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID), and neutral atom traps. It begins by explaining the fundamentals and algorithms of quantum computing, followed by the operations and formalisms of quantum systems. For each electronic device, the subsequent chapters discuss physical properties, the setup of qubits, control actions that produce the quantum gates that are universal for quantum computing, relevant measurements, and decoherence properties of the systems. The book also includes tables, diagrams, and figures that illustrate various data, uses, and designs of quantum computing. As nanoelectronics will inevitably replace microelectronics, the development of quantum information science and quantum computing technology is imperative to the future of information science and technology. Quantum Computing Devices: Principles, Designs, and Analysis helps fulfill this need by providing a comprehensive collection of the most promising devices for the future.

Plato`s Bedroom – Ancient Wisdom and Modern Love

Plato`s Bedroom – Ancient Wisdom and Modern Love

David K. O`connor

ST AUGUSTINE'S PRESS
2015
sidottu
Plato’s Bedroom is a book for people who want to be better at falling in love and being in love, with all the ecstasies and dangers erotic life can bring. It is also an inviting book for readers who are intellectually playful and up for a challenge, written with verve, and full of stories thoughtful persons will find to be mirrors of their own erotic selves. Drawing on Greek myth, Plato, Shakespeare, and a wide range of modern literature and movies, the book gets Aphrodite talking with the young lovers in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and lets us listen in on Woody Allen arguing with Othello. The author’s account of how we seek, fear, avoid, and sometimes destroy love, is astonishingly fresh and engaging. Throughout its pages, one hears the voice of an engaging teacher and the conversation of a wise friend. In short, this is a work of practical philosophy, not scholarship, though only a scholar could have written it. It invites readers into a deep appreciation of timeless ancient wisdom through reflecting on their own powers for love and their susceptibility to desire. A distinctive feature of the book is the interweaving of two guiding threads in Plato’s conception of erotic experience: androgyny, that is, the integration of masculine and feminine; and creativity, in both a sexual and a spiritual sense. These two aspects of Plato’s erotic vision, androgyny and creativity, lead readers to a sense of grateful wonder and sacred awe at our own erotic powers. Our natural experience of romantic love, articulated so well by Plato, points toward a more explicitly religious interpretation of love’s commitments and pleasures. The author brings out some surprising and delightful connections between Plato’s pagan eroticism and the Adam and Eve story, Jesus’s teaching in the Gospels, and Catholic views about marriage.Plato’s Bedroom will be the first book to tap into the perennial curiosity about love and sex through the enduring interest of the general reader in philosophical reflection on contemporary culture.

What Belongs to God

What Belongs to God

David Livingston Edwards; Alvin O'Neal Jackson

Read the Spirit Books
2021
pokkari
As militarism and nationalism are circling our planet once again, pastor, teacher and singer-songwriter David Edwards reminds us of the timeless Christian calling to be peacemakers. During the Vietnam War, his own calling as a conscientious objector (CO) led him to alternative service in a children's hospital. In this memoir, he invites us to share his spiritual journey and rediscover the hope of peace in our world. At its best, he writes, religion calls us to build peaceful communities with all who share our planet.In What Belongs To God, David Edwards explains core values found in Jewish and Christian scriptures that call us toward a nonviolent life and a love that embraces the stranger, including one's enemy. The book continues his legacy as a teacher by including ready-to-use resources for discussion groups in a Discussion and Action Guide called "Choosing Peace." That section of the book is an entire plan for either a three-day spiritual retreat focused on peacemaking or for a series of weekly discussions. Also in this book are links to download some of Edwards' inspiring music, as well as free discussion-starter pages that readers can share with friends as they talk about these ideas.The book's central message is: "Everyone has a right to live, and every life belongs to God," writes the Rev. Dr. Alvin O'Neal Jackson, executive director of the Poor People's Campaign in the book's Foreword. Or, as David puts it, "All of life, including our own life, belongs to God, from whom it flows as a gift." In glimpsing this truth, David writes, we begin to see the world in a far more hopeful light.As the chapters unfold, David shares his story as a conscientious objector, explaining how his decision developed and how his experience of civilian alternative service changed the course of his life and ministry. Many of the folk songs David wrote and shared with congregations sprang directly from the spiritual gifts he discovered in the real lives of the diverse men, women and children he encountered. Even though David died in 2019, this book invites individuals and congregations to continue sharing in his wisdom, and even his rousing voice lifted in song.

Defining Public Goods

Defining Public Goods

David J. O’Brien

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd
2021
sidottu
Through the lens of an economist’s notion of public goods, David J. O’Brien analyzes the dual problems of declining communities and polarizing conflicts between metropolitan and rural communities. This macro-level Institutional approach requires a precise definition of the specific ways in which community-level challenges can negatively affect a larger voting public.The author describes in detail how seemingly intractable community-level problems and inter-community conflicts have been substantially reduced by framing them in terms of the self-interest of a larger polity. Examples include The Federalist Papers, written in defense of the US Constitution, New Deal institutions created during the Great Depression, the post-World War II European Union, and more recent macro-level institutional changes that are assisting, in varying degrees, rural community sustainability in the US, Kenya, Rwanda and Russia.O’Brien’s extensive community-level research experience in urban and rural communities that covers multiple historical periods, will appeal to inter-disciplinary social scientists, development specialists and persons looking for a hopeful, practical approach to solving the challenges of globalization.
