Free Download The Routledge Handbook of the Byzantine City: From Justinian to Mehmet II (ca. 500 - ca.1500)
English | 2024 | ISBN: 0367196794 | 508 Pages | PDF (True) | 42 MB
The Byzantine world contained many important cities throughout its empire. Although it was not 'urban' in the sense of the word today, its cities played a far more fundamental role than those of its European neighbors. This book, through a collection of twenty-four chapters, discusses aspects of, and different approaches to, Byzantine urbanism from the early to late Byzantine periods. It provides both a chronological and thematic perspective to the study of Byzantine cities, bringing together literary, documentary, and archival sources with archaeological results, material culture, art, and architecture, resulting in a rich synthesis of the variety of regional and sub-regional transformations of Byzantine urban landscapes.

Excavations between 1955 and 1985 on the site of Roman Wroxeter on the River Severn in Shropshire focused on the southern part of an insula which contained the well-preserved remains of baths and a macellum . The Wroxeter macellum , which would have been the site of a street market fo over 300 years, is one of the few examples to have been excavated anywhere within the Roman Empire. Much of the volume reports on the large assemblage of finds, many of which date to the original building campaign, including coins, small finds, brooches, gems, glass, pottery and industrial and environmental remains. The volume also includes a discussion of the results of excavations in the bathhouse during the 19th-century.

Free Download The Rise, Fall, and Influence of the Tea Party Insurgency
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1009423770 | 267 Pages | PDF | 4 MB
Emerging in 2009, the Tea Party movement had an immediate and profound impact on American politics and society. This book draws on a decade's worth of original, extensive data collection to understand why the Tea Party emerged, where it was active, and why it disappeared so quickly. Patrick Rafail and John McCarthy link the Tea Party's rise to prominence following the economic collapse that came to be known as the Great Recession. Paying special attention to the importance of space and time in shaping the Tea Party's activities, Rafail and McCarthy identify and explain the movement's disappearance from the political stage. Even though grassroots Tea Party activism largely ceased by 2014, they demonstrate the movement's effect on the Republican Party and American democracy that continues today.

Their judgments of the same novels were compared with the results of computational analysis of the books.

This book, a tribute to historian of mathematics Jeremy Gray, offers an overview of the history of mathematics and its inseparable connection to philosophy and other disciplines. Many different approaches to the study of the history of mathematics have been developed.

For the "how" question, basic methodological issues are addressed, from the different perspectives of mathematicians and historians. Containing essays by leading scholars, this book provides a multitude of perspectives on mathematics, its role in culture and development, and connections with other sciences, making it an important resource for students and academics in the history and philosophy of mathematics.

Free Download Santiago Zabala, "The Remains of Being: Hermeneutic Ontology After Metaphysics"
English | 2009 | pages: 201 | ISBN: 0231148305 | PDF | 1,8 mb
In Basic Concepts, Heidegger claims that "Being is the most worn-out" and yet also that Being "remains constantly available." Santiago Zabala radicalizes the consequences of these little known but significant affirmations. Revisiting the work of Jacques Derrida, Reiner Schürmann, Jean-Luc Nancy, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Ernst Tugendhat, and Gianni Vattimo, he finds these remains of Being within which ontological thought can still operate.
