Ptolemy II Philadelphus and His World

Ptolemy II Philadelphus and His World


Ptolemy II Philadelphus and His World By Paul McKechnie, Phillipe Guillame

Publisher: Brill Academic Publishers 2008 | 488 Pages | ISBN: 9004170898 | PDF | 2 MB






Heir of Ptolemy son of Lagus, Alexander the Great's general (who took Egypt over in 323BC), Ptolemy II Philadelphus reigned in Alexandria from 282 to 246. The greatest of the Hellenistic kings of his time, Philadelphus exercised power far beyond the confines of Egypt, while at his glittering royal court the Library of Alexandria grew to be a matchless monument to Greek intellectual life. In Egypt, the Ptolemaic regime consolidated its power by encouraging immigration and developing settlement in the Fayum. This book examines Philadelphus' reign in a comprehensive and refreshing way. Scholars from the fields of Classics, Archaeology, Papyrology, Egyptology and Biblical Studies consider issues in Egypt and across Ptolemaic territory in the Mediterranean, the Holy Land and Africa.

Differential Quadrature and Its Application in Engineering

Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 1852332093 | edition 2000 | PDF | 360 pages | 21,4 mb


In the past few years, the differential quadrature method has been applied extensively in engineering. This book, aimed primarily at practising engineers, scientists and graduate students, gives a systematic description of the mathematical fundamentals of differential quadrature and its detailed implementation in solving Helmholtz problems and problems of flow, structure and vibration. Differential quadrature provides a global approach to numerical discretization, which approximates the derivatives by a linear weighted sum of all the functional values in the whole domain. Following the analysis of function approximation and the analysis of a linear vector space, it is shown in the book that the weighting coefficients of the polynomial-based, Fourier expansion-based, and exponential-based differential quadrature methods can be computed explicitly.

Animals as Disguised Symbols in Renaissance Art

Animals as Disguised Symbols in Renaissance Art


Animals as Disguised Symbols in Renaissance Art By Simona Cohen

Publisher: Brill Academic Publishers 2008 | 316 Pages | ISBN: 9004171010 | PDF | 11 MB






The relationship between medieval animal symbolism and the iconography of animals in the Renaissance has scarcely been studied. Filling a gap in this significant field of Renaissance culture, in general, and its art, in particular, this book demonstrates the continuity and tenacity of medieval animal interpretations and symbolism, disguised under the veil of genre, religious or mythological narrative and scientific naturalism. An extensive introduction, dealing with relevant medieval and early Renaissance sources, is followed by a series of case studies that illustrate ways in which Renaissance artists revived conventional animal imagery in unprecedented contexts, investing them with new meanings, on a social, political, ethical, religious or psychological level, often by applying exegetical methodology in creating multiple semantic and iconographic levels.



About the Author

Simona Cohen, Phd. in Art History (1982), Tel-Aviv University, is Senior Lecturer there. She has published extensively on problems of Renaissance iconography, Venetian art and animal symbolism. Indian Art History is her second academic field of research and teaching.





Head of All Years: Astronomy and Calendars at Qumran in Their Ancient Context

Head of All Years: Astronomy and Calendars at Qumran in Their Ancient Context


Head of All Years: Astronomy and Calendars at Qumran in Their Ancient Context By Jonathan Ben-Dov

Publisher: Brill Academic Publishers 2008 | 331 Pages | ISBN: 900417088X | PDF | 2 MB






Rather than being an isolated, primitive body of knowledge the Jewish calendar tradition of 364 days constituted an integral part of the astronomical science of the ancient world. This tradition-attested in the Dead Sea Scrolls and in the Pseudepigrapha-stands out as a coherent, novel synthesis, representing the Jewish authors' apocalyptic worldview. The calendar is studied here both 'from within' - analyzing its textual manifestations - and 'from without' - via a comparison with ancient Mesopotamian astronomy. This analysis reveals that the calendrical realm constituted a significant case of inter-cultural borrowing, pertinent to similar such cases in ancient literature. Special attention is given to the "Book of Astronomy" (1 Enoch 72-82) and a variety of calendrical and liturgical texts from Qumran.



About the Author

Jonathan Ben-Dov, Ph.D (2005), Hebrew University of Jerusalem, is a Lecturer in Biblical Studies and Second Temple Literature at the University of Haifa. He has co-authored the edition of calendrical texts in the series Discoveries in the Judaean Desert (Oxford University Press, 2001), and published a series of articles in the field.



The Plain Truth: Descartes, Huet, and Skepticism

The Plain Truth: Descartes, Huet, and Skepticism


The Plain Truth: Descartes, Huet, and Skepticism By Thomas M. Lennon

Publisher: Brill Academic Publishers 2008 | 255 Pages | ISBN: 9004171150 | PDF | 1 MB






The skeptic Pierre-Daniel Huet's "Censura philosophiae cartesianae" (1689) is the most comprehensive, unrelenting and devastating critique of Descartes ever. It incisively captures all the issues that now interest readers of Descartes: the method of doubt, the cogito, clarity and distinctness as criteria of truth, the circularity of the Meditations, proofs of God's existence, etc. Naturally, the work provoked great controversy among the Cartesians, who were implicated in various capacities - Nicolas Malebranche as the occasional cause of the publication, and Pierre-Sylvain Regis as the chief defender of the Cartesian camp. What emerges in this study of the controversy is a heroic, defensible Descartes. He possesses hitherto unappreciated answers to the criticisms that have bedeviled his philosophy from his time to ours.

Thomas M. Lennon (Ph.D, Ohio State University, 1968) is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Western Ontario. Among his books are The Battle of the Gods and Giants: The Philosophical Legacies of Gassendi and Descartes, 1655-1715, and Reading Bayle.

Over the past three years PHP has evolved from being a niche language used to add dynamic functionality to small sites to a powerful tool making strong inroads into large-scale, business-critical Web systems.

The rapid maturation of PHP has created a skeptical population of users from more traditional "enterprise" languages who question the readiness and ability of PHP to scale, as well as a large population of PHP developers without formal computer science backgrounds who have learned through the hands-on experimentation while developing small and midsize applications in PHP.

Thomas Aquinas: A Very Short Introduction

Thomas Aquinas: A Very Short Introduction


Thomas Aquinas: A Very Short Introduction By Fergus Kerr

Publisher: Oxford University Press 2009 | 144 Pages | ISBN: 0199556644 | PDF | 2 MB






Thomas Aquinas is one of the giants of medieval philosophy, a thinker who had--and who still has--a profound influence on Western thought. Aquinas was a controversial figure in his time who was often engaged in fierce theological debates. He was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology, and the father of the Thomistic school of philosophy and theology. This Very Short Introduction will look at Aquinas in a historical context, and explore the Church and culture into which Aquinas was born. It will consider Aquinas as philosopher and theologian, and will look at the relationship between philosophy and religion in the thirteenth century. Fergus Kerr, in this engaging and informative introduction, makes the Summa Theologiae, Aquinas's greatest single work, accessible to new readers. He also sheds valuable light on the importance of Thomas Aquinas in modern times, showing why Aquinas matters now, illustrating the significant role that the writings of Aquinas play in contemporary debate.

About the Author



Fergus Kerr is Honorary Fellow of the School of Divinity in the University of Edinburgh. He is widely recognized as a philosopher and theologian of high distinction. He is particularly well known for his work on Ludwig Wittgenstein and Thomas Aquinas. He is also Editor of the journal New Blackfriars.

The Language of the Papyri

The Language of the Papyri


The Language of the Papyri By T. V. Evans, D. D. Obbink

Publisher: Oxford University Press, 2010 | 380 Pages | ISBN: 0199237085 | PDF | 2 MB






The modern rediscovery of the Greek and Latin papyri from Egypt has transformed our knowledge of the ancient world. We cannot, however, make the same claim in the specific area of language study. Although important studies of the language of the papyri have appeared sporadically over the past century, we are still dealing today with a linguistic resource of extraordinary richness which has hardly begun to be explored. Every scrap of papyrus and every ostracon (potsherd) or tablet unearthed has the potential to change some aspect of the way we think about the Greek and Latin languages. This book demonstrate that potential, by gathering together essays from seventeen scholars who present a variety of perspectives and methodological approaches. The Language of the Papyri charts current directions of international research, and will also provide a stimulus for future work.

T. V. Evans is Lecturer in the Department of Ancient History, Macquarie University, Sydney. D. D. Obbink is Tutor in Greek Literature, Christ Church, and University Lecturer in Papyrology and Greek Literature, Oxford.

Pratique du calcul bayésien (Statistique et probabilités appliquées)

Springer | 2010-01-01 | ISBN: 2287996664 | 336 pages | PDF | 6 MB


La première partie de cet ouvrage privilégie les modèles statistiques paramétriques calculables «à la main». Dès le premier chapitre, la représentation du modèle par un graphe acyclique orienté permet de distinguer clairement la phase où la créativité du chercheur s’exprime de celle où il calcule. À cette fin, le logiciel libre WinBUGS sera très utile à l’apprenti modélisateur.



La seconde partie présente des applications réelles qui nécessitent d’introduire une couche de variables latentes entre les observables et les paramètres. Conduire une inférence bayésienne sur ces modèles hiérarchiques implique un recours intensif aux méthodes modernes de calcul et mobilise donc « la souris » de l’ordinateur. Les étudiants et chercheurs désireux de s’initier au calcul bayésien avec des visées opérationnelles trouveront de nombreux exemples illustrant les raisonnements sous-jacents.

Facing the Music: Shaping Music Education from a Global Perspective

Facing the Music: Shaping Music Education from a Global Perspective


Facing the Music: Shaping Music Education from a Global Perspective By Huib Schippers

Publisher: Oxford University Press 2009 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 0195379756 | PDF | 2 MB






Facing the Music investigates the practices and ideas that have grown from some five decades of cultural diversity in music education, developments in ethnomusicology, and the rise of 'world music'. Speaking from rich, hands-on experience of more than thirty years at various levels of music education (music in schools, community organizations and professional training courses), Huib Schippers makes a powerful case for the crucial role of learning music in shaping rich and diverse musical environments for the 21st century, both in practical terms and at a conceptual level: "what we hear is the product of what we believe about music."

Advocating a contemporary, positive and realistic approach to cultural diversity in music education and transmission, Schippers advocates taking into account and celebrating the natural dynamics of music. He argues that "most music travels remarkably well", and regards every musical act as an expression of the 'here and now', as do many of the musicians and scholars he quotes. In this way, he challenges stifling directives to recreate 'authentic contexts', which in fact constantly change (and have always changed) in the cultures of origin as well. This liberates music educators to seek with integrity appropriate ways of presenting music at all levels of education: in schools, community settings, and professional training.

In seven succinct chapters that each approach the issues from a different angle, Schippers gradually unfolds the complexities of learning and teaching music 'out of context' in an accessible manner, and presents a coherent model to approach these, as well as lucid suggestions for translating the resulting ideas in practice. While mapping the various factors that determine all acts of music transmission, he also comes to surprising insights into the nature and preconceptions underlying much formal music education settings across the world, including those focusing on western classical music.

Facing the Music provides a rich resource for reflection and practice for all those involved in teaching and learning music, from policy maker to classroom teacher.

Einstein et Poincaré : Sur les traces de la relativité

Editions le Pommier | 2005-05-25 | ISBN: 274650233X | 332 pages | PDF | 6 MB


La découverte de la 'relativité fut une véritable aventure humaine et intellectuelle. Elle est ici racontée et expliquée.

L'histoire de la théorie de la relativité débute au XVIIe siècle, lorsqu'on découvre que la lumière a décidément un comportement bien bizarre. Depuis lors, mathématiciens et physiciens ont beaucoup travaillé : les expériences, les hypothèses, les raisonnements corrects, les raisonnements erronés se sont succédé conduisant enfin... à la théorie de la relativité telle que nous la connaissons aujourd'hui : Ce livre raconte l'histoire des hommes : Einstein, Poincaré, mais aussi Lorentz, Minkowski, Hilbert... Il raconte également l'histoire des idées : équations, transformations, éther, électro magnétisme, espace-temps... Et surtout, il attire l'attention sur une question philosophique fondamentale, celle de l'extraordinaire synthèse entre " esprit mathématique " et " esprit, physique ". Le monde serait-t il " réellement " écrit en langage mathématique ? Éclairée par la première édition de cet ouvrage, la controverse Einstein-Poincaré a, depuis, connu de nombreux développements. Aussi Jean-Paul Auffray a-t-il eu à cœur, dans cette nouvelle édition, d'approfondir le rôle joué par chacun des deux protagonistes.

Robert C. Pianta - Enhancing Relationships Between Children and Teachers

Publisher: American Psychological Association | 1999-03 | ISBN: 1557987653 | PDF | 207 pages | 5.03 MB




Teaching children involves more than knowing your subject and being able to maintain control of a class. Every child that comes into the classroom is unique. All have different home environments, ethnic backgrounds, abilities and learning styles. And every child develops a different relationship with the teacher. "Enhancing Relationships Between Children and Teachers" focuses on the complexity of the child-teacher relationship and how school psychologists and counsellors can help teachers understand the myriad factors involved in their classroom relationships. Pianta uses systems theory to discuss the multiple factors in child-teacher relationships and integrates school, clinical and developmental psychology. The book is organized according to the ever-expanding circle of systems discussed: from the individual child's personality as a "system" to the individual child-teacher relationship, multiple relationships in the classroom, and finally school policy's influence on the child-teacher relationship. Clear, informative text and rich case examples show how to apply this approach for improving child-teacher relationships in any classroom situation and make this a valuable read for all helping professionals working with children.

Architecture and Modernity: A Critique

Publisher: The MIT Press | ISBN: 0262082640 | edition 1999 | PDF | 275 pages | 10,2 mb


Heynen (architecture, Catholic Univ., Leuven, Belgium) explores the philosophical idea of modernityAthe conditions of living imposed by the socioeconomic process of mechanizationAand its intersection with examples of modern architecture. Her central question is whether modernity is a "temporary aberration," as Christopher Alexander suggests, or an accurate reflection of the essential human condition. The methodology of the book moves in three directions: examining how architecture relates to modernity, drawing a conclusion to that examination by citing major representatives of the modern movement, and referring to theories in opposition to the modern movement.

Getting StartED with Dojo

Getting StartED with Dojo


Getting StartED with Dojo

friends of ED | 2010-01-06 | ISBN: 1430225211 | 250 pages | PDF | 6 MB


Dojo has been described as the JavaScript toolkit for programmers that’s easy enough for designers to pick up. This book will introduce the foundational concepts of using Dojo to increase efficiency when developing modern websites that utilize DOM manipulation, Ajax, animations, effects, and widgets.



* Dojo basics

* Animations and effects

* Widgets with Dijit



What you’ll learn



* Understand why using Dojo is recommended over plain JavaScript.

* Examine Dojo’s Core functions that empower the developer to focus on efficient, easy-to-maintain solutions.

* Utilize Dojo’s powerful event management and handling features to easily execute functions from user and program interaction.

* Create rich user experiences with the powerful and easy-to-use utilities Dojo provides for animation.

* Implement and use the large selection of Dojo’s premade, well-constructed, and skinnable widgets in a website or application.

* Bring third-party dynamic data and content into your website or application using Dojo’s robust tools for easy Ajax implementation and handling.



Who is this book for?



This book is geared toward designers who want to use JavaScript functionality on websites but don’t want to deal with the everyday complexities of coding JavaScript for cross-browser compatibility, tedious methods for DOM manipulation, event handling, Ajax calls, and application user interface elements.



Getting StartED with Dojo is also aimed at developers who are looking to enhance their preexisting JavaScript skills by transitioning their front-end development style to one that is based on core programming standards such as classes, events, and server communication using Ajax.



It is assumed the reader is familiar with (X)HTML development.
