1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Ed Moloney has been Northern Ireland Editor of both the Irish Times and the Sunday Tribune. He has written for a wide range of newspapers and magazines in Ireland, the UK and the USA. In 1999 he was Irish Journalist of the Year. He currently lives in New York.Within minutes the Eksund was surrounded and boarded by armed French customs men. Within hours a shocked and disbelieving public in Ireland and Britain would hear the news of the failure of this extraordinary smuggling venture. A few weeks later and the full scope of the IRA's operations would be made public; everyone would know that the organization now had some 150 tons of explosives and modern weaponry, delivered earlier and safely stored away in secret dumps throughout Ireland. But the greatest secret of them all, that the Eksund had been betrayed, was to remain sealed.There was no time to repair the timing unit. The spotter plane had again flown overhead, and in the distance the crew could see motor launches speeding toward them. The net was obviously closing, Cleary watched the scene with a sense of grim satisfaction; his instincts had been right.Cleary knew that the TPU must have been tampered with after the Eksund had left Tripoli harbor and not before. The IRA man had made up the mechanism himself before sailing and had linked it to detonators fixed into slabs of Semtex not long after leaving the dock. The TPU had been in perfect working order. He had double-checked to make sure.Cleary never got as far as even connecting the device. Instead the realization of treachery forced a number of thoughts to flash through his head, as he later told IRA colleagues. The British must have known about their plans all along, and soon the media would know as well. But the question that brought a cold sweat to his brow concerned the identity of the traitor. There was certainly a collaborator on board, but was there another one, someone back in Ireland who had betrayed the Eksund and its precious cargo?A cursory glance at the bomb mechanism told Cleary that the plan would have to be scrapped; the firing unit for the explosives had been sabotaged, its wiring damaged beyond repair. The device, known as a timing power unit (TPU), was simple to operate and safe enough for a child to use, but it was just as easy to put out of commission. Whoever had neutralized Cleary's bombs would not have needed much training.The IRA man had chosen a hole known as Deep Hurd in which to scuttle the Eksund. The plan was to sink the vessel and then head in the dinghy for the Brittany coast, after which the crew would catch a ferry back to Ireland without the authorities' ever knowing about the IRA's audacious plan. That was when he discovered that a traitor had wrecked his plan.The Eksund's ballast tanks had already been filled with water in preparation for scuttling. Cleary had crafted Semtex bombs that were just large enough to make holes in the vessel's skin but not so large that the noise of the explosions would attract attention. French forensic experts later calculated that the Eksund would have sunk within seconds.Cleary had spent most of his adult life in the Provisional IRA and had become one of the organization's most skilled bomb makers. From the Tallaght area of Dublin, a vast sprawling working-class housing estate on the southwest edge of the city, he rose in the IRA engineering department, that part of the IRA which had the job of manufacturing homemade explosives and devising the organization's impressive range of improvised and home-made weaponry. Although well known to the Irish Special Branch, he had managed to avoid imprisonment. Only once had the authorities come near to pinning him, and that was eight years earlier, in 1977, when he beat a charge of making bombs in Kildare. By the time he was appointed to oversee the Eksund voyage, Cleary had advanced to the top of the IRA's military elite and was in charge of its vital engineering department. He was a natural choice to head the Eksund operation.The colorful Dublin businessman Adrian Hopkins, who had found and purchased the Eksund, captained the vessel as he had the two other ships used by the IRA to facilitate the Libyan venture. The IRA had provided two sailors to assist him, James Coll and James Doherty, both of them County Donegal trawler men. Hopkins's friend and sometime business partner Henry Cairns, the man suspected of having introduced Hopkins to the IRA, was along for the ride. The steering problem struck again on October 27. The crew tried to make repairs but with no success, and the Eksund drifted closer and closer to the French coast. The next day Cleary realized the mission was doomed and took the fateful decision to scuttle the ship and sink its precious freight before it ran aground. His orders had been precise: on no account must the British learn of the IRA's arms-smuggling operation; the very outcome of the war depended on secrecy being preserved.As the Eksund passed the Brittany coast and veered left for Ireland, the boat ran into a different sort of trouble. The fifty-year-old vessel, which had shipped grain most of her life, had endured a difficult journey out to Malta. At one stage the vessel had to dock in England for engine repairs, and at another point the steering failed.Within hours of setting sail, however, the IRA commander's doubts returned. A plane flew directly over the Eksund, and Cleary suspected it was an RAF spotter aircraft. Every day of the voyage thereafter a similar aircraft would perform the same maneuver. There seemed little doubt that someone was keeping a very close eye on the Eksund's progress. Off Gibraltar the plane swooped down so low that the pilot was visible. Cleary grew more and more nervous.The Libyans took precautions. The Eksund was loaded at nighttime to reduce the chances of being spotted, and the boat was moored in the military section of the dockside for added security. But even so, Cleary was glad when the Eksund finally weighed anchor.Although the nearby British embassy was closed, emptied of its staff following a major diplomatic row with Qaddafi, everyone, IRA and Libyans alike, assumed that the British had left their spies behind. Some could easily be mingling with the crowds down at the harbor or at the nearby souk where traders bought and sold gold and silver and exchanged gossip.The Libyan harbor was a dangerous place for IRA men on a mission to smuggle weapons. The Tripoli docks were regularly jammed with ships unloading consumer goods, as a result of a massive oil-financed consumer boom; the bustling labor force was a mixture of Arabs drawn from nearly every country in North Africa and European expatriates lured by the high salaries offered in this former Italian colony.This operation had to be handled differently. The Eksund's cargo was as large as the four other shipments put together. The sheer size and bulk of weaponry involved meant that the loading process would be lengthy, and that made an operation at sea simply out of the question. With the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies taking an ever-greater interest in Libyan affairs, the chances of being spotted by satellite surveillance were too great. The Eksund's manifest was breathtaking: 1,000 Romanian-made AK-47 automatic rifles, a million rounds of ammunition, 430 grenades, 12 rocket-propelled grenade launchers with ample supplies of grenades and rockets, 12 heavy Russian DHSK machine guns, over 50 SAM-7 ground-to-air missiles capable of downing British army helicopters, 2,000 electric detonators and 4,700 fuses, 106 millimeter cannons, general-purpose machine guns, anti-tank missile launchers, flame throwers, and two tons of the powerful Czech-made explosive Semtex. With a cargo like that to load there was no option; the work had to be done in Tripoli itself.Cleary's fears had been growing ever since the Eksund had left the Libyan capital, Tripoli, some two weeks earlier, as he later told an IRA inquiry in messages smuggled from a French prison. The Panamanian-registered vessel had been loaded with some 150 tons of modern, sophisticated weaponry at Tripoli dockside by sailors from Colonel Qaddafi's small naval service on October 13 and 14, 1987. Although that part of the operation had gone smoothly, Cleary was uneasy. This was the fifth trip since August 1985, but the four earlier cargoes, amounting in total to another 150 tons of weapons and explosives, had been safely and secretly transferred to IRA boats from a Libyan vessel off Malta, well out at sea and far from the sight of hostile, prying eyes.There was only one thought in Gabriel Cleary's mind, and it chilled him. As he checked the firing unit linked to the twelve explosive charges placed beneath the Eksund's waterline, the signs of sabotage were unmistakable. With a growing sense of horror the IRA's director of engineering realized that the most ambitious gunrunning plot ever in the IRA's long war with Britain had been betrayed.; Title: Secret History of the Ira: Gerry Adams And The Thirty Year War 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: "Superb account of the little-known involvement of Royal Marines as they engaged the new Bolsheviks (Soviets) immediately after the Russian Revolution."

It is a scholarly and yet far from dry publication. It fills an important gap and is very highly commended.” (Britain at War)“This book should be required reading for politicians before committing troops to any further conflict...I really cant recommend this book highly enough if you are interested in military history in general, or Britain's smaller and forgotten conflicts.  The author spent 15 years researching the book and this shines through into an incredibly detailed account of the actions in Russia during this period. Highly Recommended.” (Britmodeller)“ … Every so often a book comes along that you know adds significantly to the historiography of a subject … I have waited a fair while for this book and have not been disappointed. I strongly recommend [it].” (Journal of the Orders and Medals Research Society)“ a hugely impressive and groundbreaking work…” (Sabretache, Journal of the Military Historical Society of Australia)“ … Every so often a book comes along that you know adds significantly to a subject’s historiography. Damien Wright has achieved this with his first attempt… I strongly recommend this title.” (RAF News)“Churchill’s Secret War with Lenin engagingly illuminates the history of a small war that served as both part of the Great War and the dawn of the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the West. Wright masterfully presents the history of a failed campaign in compelling human and strategic terms through his use of primary sources, synthesis of other works, and his own analysis. Strategists, planners, and tacticians will all take something away from the work.” (thestrategybridge.org)Damien Wright traces his lifelong interest in military history back to his early childhood when he was shown a photograph of his Grandfather in Australian Light Horse uniform and allowed to take his medals to school for show and tell. His interest in the British campaigns in Russia were first piqued in his teens when reading a chronological list of Australian recipients of the Victoria Cross which showed two seemingly anomalous decorations for 'North Russia 1919' listed separately from the First World War awards. Some further digging revealed both Australian VC recipients, one of whom was a fellow South Australian, had volunteered to serve in the same unit of the British Army. Further research proved difficult, so little had ever been published and the campaign seemingly largely unknown and ignored. The product of many years of exhaustive research, Churchill's Secret War with Lenin is his first book.; Title: Churchill's Secret War With Lenin: British and Commonwealth Military Intervention in the Russian Civil War, 1918-20 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: "Through meticulous research and by combing through huge volumes of British state papers Margaret succeeds in uncovering a murky and duplicitous world in which the British state sanctions murder, and then engages in a political and propaganda strategy to deny it." -- Irish Echo "Irish Echo"*Irish Voice Best of 2017* Her deep knowledge of the era, including the principle players in the worlds of politics and paramilitarism, are unmatched...[A] remarkable study. -- Irish Voice "Irish Voice"; Title: A State in Denial: British Collaboration with Loyalist Paramilitaries Target text information: Description: Intelligent, captivating and disturbing in equal measure. William Matchett's Secret Victory reveals how the IRA was infiltrated, degraded and strategically defeated at times with violent and deadly consequences. To read this book is to understand how intelligence drives irregular conflicts. Doug Beattie MCAuthor of, An Ordinary SoldierThis book poses a simple, but hitherto under examined subject regarding the effectiveness of the RUC Special Branch in combating violent subversion during the Northern Ireland crisis: a challenging topic, surrounded as it is by historical contention, political dispute and the innate secrecy of the Branchs work. This has conspired to produce a lack of informed commentary on the topic, which this work successfully redresses. The structure is well thought out and the writing itself is presented with great fluency, enabling many original and telling insights into this understudied area. The book presents the notion of push and pull, examining the extent to which the Provisional IRA was pulled into the peace process via the activities of the Special Branch. Alongside the push versus pull analysis the other lens through which the book derives much of its insight is the assessment of whether the Special Branch could be said to have constituted an effective and impartial force in helping to bring the conflict to a resolution or whether it was a partial and destructive player in a so-called dirty war. The author trenchantly, and effectively deconstructs the dirty war thesis, illustrating that much of the narrative is partial, factually flawed or often simply incoherent and contradictory. The systematic critique of this popular orthodoxy through evidence and argumentation, along with the more detailed illumination of the Special Branchs evolution as a vital arm in the security effort, constitutes a highly original contribution to knowledge and understanding of the Northern Ireland conflict.

The prototype with a full text and hyperlink database of at least 24 million pages is available at http://google.stanford.edu/ To engineer a search engine is a challenging task. Search engines index tens to hundreds of millions of web pages involving a comparable number of distinct terms. They answer tens of millions of queries every day. Despite the importance of large-scale search engines on the web, very little academic research has been done on them. Furthermore, due to rapid advance in technology and web proliferation, creating a web search engine today is very different from three years ago. This paper provides an in-depth description of our large-scale web search engine -- the first such detailed public description we know of to date. Apart from the problems of scaling traditional search techniques to data of this magnitude, there are new technical challenges involved with using the additional information present in hypertext to produce better search results. This paper addresses this question of how to build a practical large-scale system which can exploit the additional information present in hypertext. Also we look at the problem of how to effectively deal with uncontrolled hypertext collections where anyone can publish anything they want. 1-hop neighbor's text information: Invariant Fourier-Wavelet Descriptor For Pattern Recognition We present a novel set of descriptors for recognizing complex patterns such as roadsigns, keys, aircrafts, characters, etc. Given a pattern, we first transform it to polar coordinate (r; `) using the centre of mass of the pattern as origin. We then apply the Fourier transform along the axis of polar angle ` and the wavelet transform along the axis of radius r. The features thus obtained are invariant to translation, rotation, and scaling. As an example, we apply the method to a database of 85 printed Chinese characters. The result shows that the Fourier-Wavelet descriptor is an efficient representation which can provide for reliable recognition.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Starred Review. Curtis, a religious studies professor and authority on Islam in America, has authored a fine and succinct history that spans centuries. He hits all the major chronological points and historical details of Muslims living in North America, including notable tales of African slaves who maintained their religion despite great hardship. Curtis has literally combed through every record imaginable, including, for example, a 1939 Works Progress Administrationfunded interview of Mrs. Mary Juma, a Syrian homesteader in North Dakota, in assembling this very readable history. Unmatched for its breadth of sources, this is also one of the few books in the field to cover both immigrant and indigenous (African-American) American Muslims. One of the strongest sections chronicles American Muslim condemnation of terrorism after 9/11, a condemnation largely unnoticed by the greater American community. Although geared toward non-Muslims, American Muslims would also learn a great deal from reading about their own history. Photographs, chronology, edited selections from chosen narratives, and a Further Reading Section provide useful jumping-off points for the reader, who will undoubtedly be intrigued by Curtis's compelling little read. (Oct.) Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved."An accessible, succinct, and informative survey . . . useful, enjoyable, and ultimately engaging.

While examining the many aspects that have characterized mission, indigenous Christianity, and colonialism in modern Africa, The Missionary Movement in Christian History has a far broader reach. Essays such as "The Gospel as the Prisoner and Liberator of Culture" reveal the paradoxes of the Christian movement as a whole in discussing how different primitive Mediterranean Christianity is from early Catholicism, from Celtic monasticism, from Reformation Protestantism, and from Nigerian Spirit Christianity. Andrew Walls shows how the central question for Christianity has always been one of identity in many different forms, a phenomenon revealed at each stage of its history by the missionary movement. What this means for theology, however, has hardly been explored. This is the subtext of Walls' work, providing extraordinary insights and successful counters to secular critiques of world Christianity.; Title: The Missionary Movement in Christian History: Studies in the Transmission of Faith 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: "Thomas Kidd has gone a long way toward filling the need for a synthetic history of the Great Awakening and the evangelical Christianity it spawned."Richard W. Pointer, American Historical Review"This is a fascinating look into America's emphasis on individual salvation and the spiritual equality of humankind, one that is sure to have an audience. . . . Especially recommended for academic libraries, but public libraries would also do well to purchase."Library Journal"[Kidd] has let us see the Great Awakening fresh and he has let us see it whole."—Bruce Hindmarsh, Evangelical Studies Bulletin"The origins of evangelicalism . . . [are] luminously demonstrated by Thomas Kidd. He traces with care and sympathy the many forces, including such unexpected influences as German pietism, that shaped evangelicalism from the seventeenth century to the present. Many readers, including evangelicals, will be surprised to discover where 'evangelical Christianity' has been and may be going."First Things"This monograph sheds important light on the origins of evangelicalism in the US. . . . Recommended."Choice"Kidd demonstrates his wide and masterful reading of countless letters, diaries, sermons, church records, and newspaper articles and offers riveting biographies of important figures. . . .

He succeeds dramatically."—Caleb Maskell, Journal of ReligionWinner of the 2008 Christianity Today Award of Merit in the category of History/BiographyA 2007 Top Seller in Religion as compiled by YBP Library Services“There is much to praise in this book. Kidd is a first-rate researcher who has read widely in primary sources. He is also a clear, entertaining writer who is able to create memorable portraits of historical characters.”—Catherine A. Brekus, University of Chicago"Well researched, clearly written and authoritatively argued. There is no book of comparable breadth, either chronologically or geographically."Mark Noll, University of Notre Dame It has been fifty years since Edwin Gaustad told the history of New Englands Great Awakening, and, since then, the revivals themselves have at times been almost lost sight of in debates about the fictions of memory and the invention of tradition. Thomas Kidds narrative, returning squarely to the formative events and factions that shaped early evangelicalism, offers a valuable synoptic account of the beginnings of this continuously important movement.Leigh E. Schmidt, Princeton University“An informed and much-needed synthesis of the events that comprise the ‘Great Awakening.’ Judiciously describes evangelical efforts from Nova Scotia to Georgia over the entire eighteenth century and demonstrates the centrality of these revivals to an understanding of the American mind. Kidd’s book will become the standard introduction to its subject.”—Philip F. Gura, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill “With this deeply researched and beautifully focused study of the origins of American evangelicalism, Thomas Kidd gives us nothing less than a fresh, post-revisionist understanding of the Great Awakening. But that is not all. By casting a powerful light upon the controversies at the outset of the evangelical movement, particularly those revolving around the third person of the Trinity, he illuminates the rest of that movement’s conflicted history, providing insight into its enduring complexities, and its likely manifestations in the century ahead.”—Wilfred McClay, author of The Masterless: Self and Society in Modern AmericaThomas S. Kidd is associate professor of history, Baylor University, and author of The Protestant Interest: New England after Puritanism, published by Yale University Press. He lives in Woodway, TX.; Title: The Great Awakening: The Roots of Evangelical Christianity in Colonial America Target text information: Description: "This concise and well-organized study offers readers an excellent summary of American popular attitudes toward Islam from the eighteenth century onward."---Walter Russell Mead, Foreign Affairs"Kidd's is a sympathetic and well-informed voice of sanity and Christian equanimity in the midst of this turmoil. His closing appeals to reason, civility, and charitable discourse could provide a better setting, I believe, for a fruitful mission to Islam. Otherwise, one fears what level of catastrophe may be required to discredit Dispensationalist craziness."---Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon, Orthodoxy Today"Offers an informative tonic that might move Christians in the U.S. beyond deeply embedded suspicions and into more hospitable encounters with Muslims at home and abroad."---Anne Blue Wills, Christian Century"A key strength of American Christians and Islam is that it surveys a spectrum of American Christian and evangelical thought vis--vis Muslims across three centuries, and does so in a manner that is very clear, so that even a reader new to the subject could appreciate it. Assigned in a class on Middle Eastern or Islamic studies, this book would be guaranteed to stimulate lively debate."---Heather J. Sharkey, Contemporary Islam"As Islam continues its slow be steady growth in America, evangelicals of whatever strip would be wise to consult American Christians and Islam, particularly as they continue to seek ways to approach Islam with sobriety and faithfulness."---Adam S. Francisco, Modern Reformation"Thomas Kidd has done a great service with his publication of American Christians and Islam. Although there is an endless array of studies on various aspects of the relationships between Muslims and Christians throughout the past 1,400 years, this is, to my knowledge, the first to examine American Evangelical attitudes toward Islam. Kidd presents a vast amount of material in a clear, readable manner, and his book should be of interest to anyone trying to understand the extremely complex dynamic of contemporary Muslim-Christian relations."---Sandra Tonies Keating, Touchstone"This timely book about American Christian attitudes toward Islam and Muslims is a useful addition to the growing literature on Anglo-American engagements with Islam and Muslims since the colonial age. It is noteworthy primarily for its chronological range and its coverage of American missionaries to the Muslim world."---Edward E. Curtis IV, Journal of American History"Kidd has produced a gem of a book. It needs to find a high place on interreligious as well as public-policy bibliographies."---John T. Pawlikowski, Journal of Ecumenical Studies"Kidd's book ably captures the bombast and the predicament of American evangelicals as they attempted to reconcile the missionary imperative with a scrambled sense of eschatological geography."---Nicholas Guyatt, Journal of the Ecclesiastical History"The story that Kidd tells is compelling and enlightening in its nuanced depiction of conservative American Christian views on Islam and Muslims across three centuries. . . . [T]his book is a well-written and enlightening overview of the American Evangelical approach to Islam."---Akram Fouad Khater, Catholic Historical Review"Before Thomas Kidd's magisterial work, American Christians and Islam, no scholar had traced the long and convoluted history of Muslim-Christian exchange in the American experience from colonial beginnings to the present. Kidd brings a deep understanding of both traditions to his analysis and brilliantly demonstrates how so many contemporary American denunciations of Islam--especially evangelical denunciations--have a rich history that goes all the way back to the Age of Exploration and the first English settlements."--Harry S. Stout, Yale University"Though its emergence as one of the central concerns of our time took the secular-minded by surprise, the friction between Christianity and Islam--the world's two largest and most energetically missionary faiths--is nothing new in American history. As Thomas Kidd shows in this thoughtful and highly accessible account, the conflict runs like a thread through the American past. Knowing that history will provide us with valuable insights about the road ahead--and about ourselves."--Wilfred M. McClay, University of Tennessee"American Christians and Islam gives historical perspective on a timely topic. Kidd provides a thorough examination of the prism through which American evangelicals have viewed Islam, a prism consisting of fears, challenges, and opportunities. He offers an important chapter in the story of American attitudes toward Muslims. This book fills a gap in the scholarship of American religious culture."--Frank Lambert, author of Religion in American Politics"American Christians and Islam combines a timely subject, stylistic directness, and a broad scope to create an effective and useful historical survey of evangelical attitudes about Islam that is accessible to a wide audience. Kidd provides succinct readings and elucidates important patterns and shifts that offer readers a revealing overview of the engagements of U.S. evangelical culture with the Islamic world."--Timothy W. Marr, author of The Cultural Roots of American Islamicism"A significant contribution to the field. There have been plenty of books on Western views of Islam, but none has focused exclusively or comprehensively on American Christian attitudes over such a long period. The scope and targeting of this book make it unique and pathbreaking."--Gerald R.

The book is entitled,;The Elements of Artificial Intelligence Using Common Lisp, 2nd edition,;W. H. Freeman, 1995. Chapter 2 (Introduction to Programming in;Common Lisp) and the Lisp glossary may be purchased;separately at the Copy Center in the basement of the Communications Building.; Online reference materials for Lisp:; What Lisp is.;;The Lisp FAQ provides the answers to many questions about Lisp and;its implementations.;;Common Lisp: The Language, 2nd edition is the standard reference;on Common Lisp.

Our attention will focus mainly on two particular programming;languages: Lisp and C. With Lisp, we will explore many issues relevant to;intepreted languages, while with C, we will investigate compilers.;In addition to traditional language issues and techniques, we will also;look into current issues such as visual programming systems and programming;facilities for the World-Wide Web.; January 2.; Facilities:;This quarter, CSE 413 students will have the use of both the MSCC Macintoshes;(running Macintosh Common Lisp 3.0) and the MSCC Unix systems.;MSCC is the;Mathematical Sciences Computing Center. The MSCC Macs are located in the;basement of Thompson Hall. Some of the Macs are in Room 3 and some in Room 9.;While the Macs offer MCL (and a variety of other languages such as Mathematica);the MSCC Unix hosts offer, C, Lex, Yacc, Allegro;Common Lisp, and other software facilities.;Macintosh Common Lisp provides a particularly powerful;environment including full implementation of the Common Lisp standard,;integrated editor (called FRED), and extensive facilities for graphics;and user interface construction. The Macintosh computers are networked,;and files can easily be transferred between them and the Unix host machines;of MSCC.; Students who have difficulty getting to the Macintoshes in;Thompson Hall can supplement their Macintosh work with work on their;own PCs, using such packages as XLISP-STAT for Windows and Micro-Emacs.;However, due to our limited ability to support alternative facilities,;students who wish to work on their own PCs will need to access these;resources themselves from archives on the Internet. Also, note that;XLISP-STAT is a bare-bones implementation of Common Lisp and does not;have the extensive program-development support that MCL has.;While we are fortunate to have the powerful MCL system for this course,;there is one disadvantage of using it---you must use it in the MSCC lab;unless you purchase your own copy of it from;Digitool, Inc..;(MCL normally costs about $500 a copy, but there is a special student deal;allowing students to purchase it for $135.);It has been pointed out that there is a free version of Allegro Common Lisp;for Windows which can be downloaded from franz.com on the Web.;This may be an attractive tool for some students.; Final examination:; The final exam for CSE 413 will be given on Monday, March 11,;in Sieg 325 from 10:30 to 12:20.

His command of languages is breathtaking, including as it does Persian, Polish and Hungarian.""It is both a scholarly study and a profound and useful handbook for specialists, and, as such, this clearly written book will be read all over the world. It would also be suitable for a university course book"Antti Ruotsala - Institute of Historical Research review, April 2006In the thirteenth century, a dynamic and expansive Catholic Christendom, which had been free of major attack from its steppe frontier for over two hundred years, was confronted by a new and alien power in the shape of the vast empire of the advancing Mongols.Despite the devastation of Hungary and Poland in 1241-2 and ongoing hostilities in Eastern Europe, the advent of the Mongols appeared to offer the West new opportunities. Historically, the failure to exploit these opportunities by not allying with the Mongols in the Near East against the Muslims, or by not converting the Mongols to Christianity is usually blamed on the West. This book demonstrates that such possibilities were illusory.Written in a lively and accessible style, The Mongols and The West reassesses relations between the Catholic West and the Mongols from the first appearance of Chinggis Khans armies on Europes horizons in 1221 to the death of Temr or Tamerlane (1405) and the battle of Tannenberg (1410), across the spheres of diplomacy, missionary endeavour and trade.

1-hop neighbor's text information: SPIN;[email protected]; The SPIN Operating System;SPIN is an extensible operating system kernel that;supports the dynamic adaptation of system interfaces and;implementations through direct application control, while still;maintaining system integrity and inter-application isolation.;SPIN allows applications to load code into the kernel at;runtime. Because it runs in the kernel, this extension code can access;hardware and other operating systems services with with almost no;overhead (basically a procedure call), and data can be passed by;reference, rather than copied. The SPIN kernel itself provides;a core set of interfaces and capabilities to basic resources. These;are used by collections of extensions to implement general system;services such as address spaces, IPC, threads, and networking. All;extension code (and most of the kernel) is written in the typesafe language Modula-3.

1-hop neighbor's text information: The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine In this paper, we present Google, a prototype of a large-scale search engine which makes heavy use of the structure present in hypertext. Google is designed to crawl and index the Web efficiently and produce much more satisfying search results than existing systems. The prototype with a full text and hyperlink database of at least 24 million pages is available at http://google.stanford.edu/ To engineer a search engine is a challenging task. Search engines index tens to hundreds of millions of web pages involving a comparable number of distinct terms. They answer tens of millions of queries every day. Despite the importance of large-scale search engines on the web, very little academic research has been done on them. Furthermore, due to rapid advance in technology and web proliferation, creating a web search engine today is very different from three years ago. This paper provides an in-depth description of our large-scale web search engine -- the first such detailed public description we know of to date. Apart from the problems of scaling traditional search techniques to data of this magnitude, there are new technical challenges involved with using the additional information present in hypertext to produce better search results. This paper addresses this question of how to build a practical large-scale system which can exploit the additional information present in hypertext. Also we look at the problem of how to effectively deal with uncontrolled hypertext collections where anyone can publish anything they want.

1-hop neighbor's text information: A Multi-Agent System for Automated Genomic Annotation Massive amounts of raw data are currently being generated by biologists while sequencing organisms. Outside of the largest, high-profile projects such as the Human Genome Project, most of this raw data must be analyzed through the piecemeal application of various computer programs and searches of various public web databases. Due to the inexperience and lack of training, both the raw data and any valuable derived knowledge will remain generally unavailable except in published textual forms. Multi-agent information gathering systems have a lot to contribute to these efforts, even at the current state of the art. We have used DECAF, a multi-agent system toolkit based on RETSINA and TAEMS, to construct a prototype multi-agent system for automated annotation and database storage of sequencing data for herpes viruses. The resulting system eliminates tedious and always out-of-date hand analyses, makes the data and annotations available for other researchers (or agent systems), and provides a level of query processing beyond even some high-profile web sites. Target text information: Extending a Multi-Agent System for Genomic Annotation . The explosive growth in genomic (and soon, expression and proteomic) data, exemplified by the Human Genome Project, is a fertile domain for the application of multi-agent information gathering technologies. Furthermore, hundreds of smaller-profile, yet still economically important organisms are being studied that require the efficient and inexpensive automated analysis tools that multiagent approaches can provide. In this paper we give a progress report on the use of the DECAF multi-agent toolkit to build reusable information gathering systems for bioinformatics. We will briefly summarize why bioinformatics is a classic application for information gathering, how DECAF supports it, and recent extensions underway to support new analysis paths for genomic information. 1 I provide the content of the target node and its neighbors' information.

Given the vast quantities of ink expended on accounts of this great conflict, one would think that there was not much more left to say. Hanson proves that this belief is wrong. His fresh examination of World War II cements his reputation as a military historian of the first order."National Review"Lively and proactive, full of the kind of novel perceptions that can make a familiar subject interesting again."New York Times Book Review"[The Second World Wars] is written in an energetic and engaging style. Mr. Hanson provides more than enough interesting and original points to make this book essential reading. One thing becomes increasingly clear: The complex of conflicts between 1937 and 1945, because of their unprecedented reach and their death blow to colonialism, brought world history together for the first time."Wall Street Journal"Hopefully, [The Second World Wars] will become required reading for students at professional military schools as an introduction to war in the industrial age as well as to students studying how the 20th century shaped who we are today."Washington Times"In his exposition of this thesis, displaying a depth of knowledge of the period that is often simply astounding, Hanson has written what I consider to be the most important single-volume explanation of World War II since Richard Overy's Why the Allies Won (1996)-that is, for a generation."Andrew Roberts, Claremont Review of Books"Even if you feel like you've read everything and then some about World War II, you will find a huge amount in [The Second World Wars] that is new, fascinating, and enlightening. And more than that, you'll find a way of thinking about how the lowliest practicalities and logistical challenges of war are connected to the highest reaches of geopolitics that will change how you think about both. This is what a great, enduring work of military history looks like."Yuval Levin, National Review"[The Second World Wars] is a brilliant and very original and readable work by a great military historian and contemporary commentator."New Criterion "As I struggle in my office to capture Hanson's analytical tour de force in review, I can see the shelf full of books on World War II that I've read over the decades. After reading Wars, I believe I have a firmer grasp of the big picture--very big picture indeed--of how this conflict began, the various tortuous paths it took, and how it resolved the way it did than after digesting all of these other volumes.

Dickey looks at the march mainly through the eyes of soldiers and other participants, like nurses. - New York Times Book ReviewA page-turning and highly original account, one of the best in the long line of Shermans March books. [Dickey] writes grippingly about the armys adventures on campaign . . . and he has ingeniously chosen to view much of the story through the experience of a handful of colorful soldiers and civilians. No one interested in Shermans March should be deprived of his lively narrative. Absolutely spellbinding. - The Wall Street JournalThis superlative, impeccably researched account of Shermans march through Georgia in 18641865 brings to life Civil War history through personal accounts and vivid descriptions of military strategy. Dickey tells the story of Shermans march unforgettably, with power on every page. - Publishers Weekly (starred)A study in unintended consequences as a reactionary Civil War commander unleashed a series of progressive forces. Dickey ably captures the shape and feel of the desperate battles Sherman's forces waged. A readable blend of military and political history; a valuable addition to the literature. - Kirkus ReviewFast-moving and engrossing. A fascinating book with new perspectives for both Civil War buffs and more general readers. - Library JournalThis is more than straightforward biography. In assessing Shermans Atlanta campaign, the March to the Sea, Dickey concentrates not only on Sherman but also on lesser-known unionists and thus provides a unique perspective on this oft-written-about topic. The military aspects of the march and what Sherman called hard war are vividly recounted in their dreadful detail. A valuable contribution to Civil War history. - BooklistDickey looks at Shermans complex and often conflicting character, but also studies how the march affected Northern soldier and civilians. These diverse accounts, blended into the narrative, provide a deeper perspective on how Shermans March changed people, especially in transforming a war about secession into a crusade to free slaves.

From the KKK's heyday during the 1920s and 1930s, its alignment in the 1970s and 1980s with a growing crop of neo-Nazis and other cultists, and its emergence in the 1990s on the fring of the "right-to-life" movement, Florida Klansmen have waged a constant war against progressive society. Their crimes range from petty vandalism to assassination and destruction of entire communities. Florida governors have courted Klan ballots, and high-ranking lawmen collaborated with the Klan in campaigns of arson and murder.In addition to recounting tales of violence, Newton addresses the critical question of how the hooded night riders continue to survive--a bitter, marginalized extremist movement that is still marching in what is arguably the Deep South's most progressive and ethnically diverse state.

Fax tells the amazing story of how the American Expeditionary Force and the 79th Division overcame many errors and false ideas and paid a high price learning how to fight effectively." - Brigadier General (ret.) Robert A. Doughty"The men of the AEFs 79th Division were warriors for the working day: civilians in uniform. Their training was minimal, their cohesion limited, their tactics defying four years of Western Front experience. Yet the 79ths first assignment was to take one of the best-defended position in the Argonne Forest. It became a compound disaster. But the divisions subsequent recovery is a case study in American soldiers often-demonstrated high learning curve and the AEFs contribution to victory in 1918. Gene Faxs new history of the 79th Division is a masterful study of the long and difficult road to victory." - Professor Dennis Showalter"Ordered to capture the heavily fortified high-ground of Montfaucon on the first day of Meuse-Argonne, the doughboys of 79th Division-fresh from Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia-proved themselves as brave and tenacious soldiers. With Their Bare Hands is a fine testament to their courage under fire and a compelling work of history by Gene Fax." - Mitchell Yockelson, author of FORTY-SEVEN DAYS: HOW PERSHING'S WARRIOR'S CAME OF AGE TO DEFEAT THE GERMAN ARMY IN WORLD WAR I"A careful study of a little-remembered division, in a little-remembered battle, in a little-remembered war.

His competitor for the prize, Britain's Robert Scott, arrived one month later--but died on the return with four of his men only 11 miles from their next cache of supplies. But it was Scott, ironically, who became the legend, Britain's heroic failure, "a monument to sheer ambition and bull-headed persistence. His achievement was to perpetuate the romantic myth of the explorer as martyr, and ... to glorify suffering and self-sacrifice as ends in themselves." The world promptly forgot about Amundsen.Biographer Ronald Huntford's attempt to restore Amundsen to glory, first published in 1979 under the title Scott and Amundsen, has been thawed as part of the Modern Library Exploration series, captained by Jon Krakauer (of Into Thin Air fame). The Last Place on Earth is a complex and fascinating account of the race for this last great terrestrial goal, and it's pointedly geared toward demythologizing Scott. Though this was the age of the amateur explorer, Amundsen was a professional: he left little to chance, apprenticed with Eskimos, and obsessed over every detail. While Scott clung fast to the British rule of "No skis, no dogs," Amundsen understood that both were vital to survival, and they clearly won him the Pole.Amundsen in Huntford's view is the "last great Viking" and Scott his bungling opposite: "stupid ... recklessly incompetent," and irresponsible in the extreme--failings that cost him and his teammates their lives. Yet for all of Scott's real or exaggerated faults, he understood far better than Amundsen the power of a well-crafted sentence. Scott's diaries were recovered and widely published, and if the world insisted on lionizing Scott, it was partly because he told a better story. Huntford's bias aside, it's clear that both Scott and Amundsen were valiant and deeply flawed. "Scott ... had set out to be an heroic example. Amundsen merely wanted to be first at the pole. Both had their prayers answered." --Svenja Soldovieri"A remarkably vivid picture of the agonies and feuds, as well as joys,of polar exploration . . . a fascinating book."--The New York Times"An extraordinarily rich reading experience."--Los Angeles Times; Title: The Last Place on Earth: Scott and Amundsen's Race to the South Pole, Revised and Updated (Modern Library Exploration) 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: "A gripping account of 'the most extensive scientific expedition in history,' whose impressive results were certainly matched by its duration and miseries.

Wonderful."Andrea Wulf, author of The Invention of Nature: Alexander Humboldt's New World"One of the most significant and harrowing expeditions in the annals of European and American exploration, the Bering voyages remain largely unknown to modern readers. Inspired by the European Enlightenment, Peter the Great and his successor Empress Anna sent Danish navigator Vitus Bering 5,000 miles eastward across Siberia, then another 3,000 miles across the Pacific to the unknown coasts of North America, decades before Captain Cook's well-known voyages. Bering left his name on a sea and a strait, and his naturalist Steller identified dozens of unknown plants and animals in the New World, but perhaps the most inspiring legacy is the remarkable forbearance and human ingenuity employed by the expedition's survivors in the face of scurvy, starvation, and shipwreck. A gifted chronicler of Northern exploration, Stephen Bown tells this incredible tale with grace, authority, and a deep grasp of its significance."Peter Stark, author of Astoria: John Jacob Astor and Thomas Jefferson's Lost Pacific Empire"Bown's readable history should elevate Bering into the top tier of explorers.

In sharing what is a remarkable story of Arctic exploration, Bown has added a welcome addition to what is already a rich catalogue of books about the Arctic and maritime exploration."Rocky Mountain Outlook"[Bown] has weaved a story which details the highs and lows of one of the greatest expeditions in world history and one which has been largely forgotten by mainstream humanity.

For the discerning scholar, it is an essential work for further research on an increasingly important region in the High Arctic all too frequently passed over or simplified in mainstream historiography of polar geography and exploration."-Aant Elzinga, Polar Research"Capelotti's purpose is to describe what happened and analyze why the expeditions failed so abysmally. Thanks to access to new source material and close reading of the correspondence, the author acts like a detective on the trail of the various expeditions, from the political background to the treacherous ice to the incompetent leadership. This is no hero story, but more often it has the aspect of a doomed plot. With the key at times the logistical details - the number of polar bears shot, killed and slaughtered sled dogs and ponies all presented with chilling objectivity - Capelotti evokes a picture of both astonishing dedication and icy futility."-Torgny Nordin, Svenska DagbladetA "succession of engagingly written and sometimes brilliantly researched volumes has produced new and detailed accounts of one expedition after another, enriching the official published and archival resources with newsprint, memorabilia and the letters and diaries of participants preserved by their descendants. Peter Capelotti is one such exploration historian, who in 2013 published Shipwreck at Cape Flora, a fine account of the five voyages of the British amateur yachtsman Benjamin Leigh Smith to Svalbard and Franz Josef Land in the 1870s and 80s. Now he has written an even more impressive portrayal of three more expeditions to [Franz Josef Land]... And P. J. Capelotti is surely right in attributing the disabling paralysis of indecision that overcame all three leaders to their growing realization of the appalling gap between the breezy promises they had made in New York and the physical and mental reality of a long-distance dogsled journey over sea ice. It was a gap that none of them ever came close to bridging." -Jonathan Dore, Times Literary Supplement"P. J. Capelotti's deeply researched, lively, and riveting The Greatest Show in the Arctic should by all rights bring Franz Josef Land fully into view. This magisterial volume joins Capelotti's earlier work on the archipelago in displaying a limber scholarly attention to turn-of-the-twentieth-century Norwegian, British, and American exploration. He brings historical methods to bear on the material and writes with wit and energy..."-Hester Blum, Arctic"P.J. Capelotti's latest book seems a natural outgrowth and culminationof interests that have occupied him for a number of years... Therefore,Capelotti (Professor of Anthropology at Pennsylvania State University,Abington campus) is eminently qualified to write this thorough study ofthe three American expeditions that attempted to reach the North Polefrom the remote islands above Arctic Russia.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Speech/Gesture Interface to a Visual Computing Environment for Molecular Biologists In recent years there has been tremendous progress in 3D, immersive display and virtual reality (VR) technologies. Scientific visualization of data is one of many applications that has benefited from this progress. To fully exploit the potential of these applications in the new environment there is a need for "natural" interfaces that allow the manipulation of such displays without burdensome attachments. This paper describes the use of visual hand gesture analysis enhanced with speech recognition for developing a bimodal gesture/speech interface for controlling a 3-D display. The interface augments an existing application, VMD, which is a VR visual computing environment for molecular biologists. The free hand gestures are used for manipulating the 3-D graphical display together with a set of speech commands. We concentrate on the visual gesture analysis techniques used in developing this interface. The dual modality of gesture/speech is found to greatly aid the interaction capability.... 1-hop neighbor's text information: Extraction and Classification of Visual Motion Patterns for Hand Gesture Recognition We present a new method for extracting and classifying motion patterns to recognize hand gestures. First, motion segmentation of the image sequence is generated based on a multiscale transform and attributed graph matching of regions across frames. This produces region correspondences and their affine transformations. Second, color information of motion regions is used to determine skin regions. Third, human head and palm regions are identified based on the shape and size of skin areas in motion. Finally, affine transformations defining a region's motion between successive frames are concatenated to construct the region's motion trajectory. Gestural motion trajectories are then classified by a time-delay neural network trained with backpropagation learning algorithm. Our experimental results show that hand gestures can be recognized well using motion patterns. 1 Introduction This paper is concerned with the problem of detecting two-dimensional motion across image frames and classifyi... 1-hop neighbor's text information: Three-dimensional PC: toward novel forms of human-computer interaction The ongoing integration of IT systems is offering computer users a wide range of new (networked) services and the access to an explosively growing host of multimedia information.

Thanks to the boosting computing power of general purpose computers, highly interactive interfaces are becoming feasible supporting a... Target text information: Visual Interpretation of Hand Gestures for Human-Computer Interaction: A Review The use of hand gestures provides an attractive alternative to cumbersome interface devices for human-computer interaction (HCI). In particular, visual interpretation of hand gestures can help in achieving the ease and naturalness desired for HCI. We survey the literature on vision-based hand gesture recognition within the context of its role in HCI. The number of approaches to video-based hand gesture recognition has grown in recent years. Thus, the need for systematization and analysis of different aspects of gestural interaction has developed. We discuss a complete model of hand gestures that possesses both spatial and dynamic properties of human hand gestures and can accommodate for all their natural types. Two classes of models that have been employed for interpretation of hand gestures for HCI are considered. The first utilizes 3D models of the human hand, while the second relies on the appearance of the human hand in the image. Investigation of model parameters and analysis feat...

I regard it as one of the finest and most important books on medieval history ever written." Norman F. Cantor, New York University"A remarkably thorough and instructive synthesis of much modern work which will be especially welcome." Annual Bulletin of Historical LiteratureFirst published in 1977, this comprehensive history of the great heretical movements of the Middle Ages provides a vivid account of the dark, often secret, world of dissent and protest against the medieval churches of Rome and Byzantium. Malcolm Lambert examines the origins and nature of these heresies, and looks at how medieval churchmen grappled with deviation, sometimes by preaching and argument, more often by armed force, imprisonment and the stake.The third edition retains the shape and time-scale of the previous editions, but assesses a new mood of scepticism among historians about the accuracy of accusations of heresy in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. It gives fresh insight into the inquisitional process, and the rise and fall of Catharism, and offers a new account of the moving dialogue between Bishop Fournier and the Waldensian deacon, Raymond de Sainte Foy, and of research on urban Waldensianism. In addition the author surveys the continuing flow of work on English Lollardy. These revisions enable both those who are familiar with the book and new readers to stay in touch with the most recent research on heretical movements.; Title: Medieval Heresy: Popular Movements from the Gregorian Reform to the Reformation 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: A quirky niche book that descends into obscure, even humdrum areas and makes them interesting.

For nearly two centuries, indigenous peoples everywhere in North America waged devastating arms races with each other, enabled by, but seldom under the control of, Euro-Americans eager to sell their lethal wares in defiance of laws and their nations interests.Daniel K. Richter, author of Before the Revolution: Americas Ancient PastsAfter reading Thundersticks, no one will ever be able to question that guns were fundamental to colonialism and that American Indians wanted them, used them with ferocity, and that they changed Native life forever. Silverman makes it all so obvious in his utterly convincing and transformative book. He has literally rewritten American history.Robbie Ethridge, author of From Chicaza to Chickasaw: The European Invasion and the Transformation of the Mississippian World, 15401715Tracking the impact of firearms across different eras and areas as Native peoples incorporated them into their arsenals, economies, foreign policies, and cultures, David Silverman shows how guns shaped the colonial and indigenous history of the continent. No one has done anything quite like this before. A major achievement.Colin G. Calloway, author of The Victory with No Name: The Native American Defeat of the First American ArmySilvermans command of a vast literature and his attention to evidence will put to rest any remaining doubts about the Indian preference for guns over the bow and arrow.Gregory Evans Dowd, author of Groundless: Rumors, Legends, and Hoaxes on the Early American FrontierSilverman tells this sad and bloody story with verve, making this an essential work for scholars of colonial encounters.Publishers WeeklyA good measure of a work of history is whether it changes the way we understand its subject. By that measure, David J. Silverman succeeds admirably in Thundersticks: Firearms and the Violent Transformation of Native AmericaIn Silvermans sober, sprawling account, America is a nation built on slaves and guns.Thomas E. Ricks, New York Times Book ReviewFocusing on the military and political changes stemming from the spread of firearms in North America, this is a well-informed, clearly argued account of the significance of access to these gunsSilvermans book is a significant contribution to a field that is important for American studies, for military history and work on western expansionism.Jeremy Black, History TodayWritten in an accessible and at times swashbuckling style, the book is in many ways a retelling of the U.S. Indian Wars from the 17th to the 19th centuries, with a twist. It cracks the mystery of how Colonial-era Native American tribes came to master a continent-spanning, gun-running network in smoothbore flintlock muskets, often decades in advance of European settlement.Casey Sanchez, Los Angeles TimesDavid J. Silverman has accomplished the rarest of feats; he has breathed new life into a very familiar topic among scholarsconflict in Native North AmericaNo other author has elucidated quite so clearly how guns changed the lives, cultures, and futures of American IndiansThundersticks is a marvelous accomplishment. Silvermans work is accessible for nonscholars while at the same time essential reading for historians of Native America, the United States, the Atlantic World, and more. This is how history should be written.Jason Herbert, Western Historical ReviewGiven that indigenous life across the continent was profoundly reshaped by guns and gunpowdertwo things no Native society had the capacity to produceit is remarkable that we had to wait until 2016 for a book that marries sophisticated indigenous history with a focus on the transformative effects of firearms over the long term. David J. Silvermans Thundersticks: Firearms and the Violent Transformation of Native America is worth the waitThe force of this book is in the detailsThundersticks is nonetheless the indispensable new work on an important and understudied topic. More than that, it presents an eloquent and penetrating new synthesis of Native American history before the reservation era.Brian DeLay, American Historical ReviewDavid J.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Text Database Selection for Longer Queries A metasearch engine is a system that supports unified access to multiple local search engines. One of the main challenges in building a large-scale metasearch engine is to solve the database (search engine) selection problem, which is to efficiently and accurately determine a small number of potentially useful local search engines to invoke for each user query. For the database of each search engine, a representative which indicates approximately the contents of the database is created in advance to enable database selection. The representatives of all databases can be integrated into a single representative to make the selection process more scalable. While an integrated representative with high scalability has just been proposed and has been found to be effective for short queries, its effectiveness for longer queries is significantly lower. In the Internet environment, most queries initially submitted by users are short queries. However, it has been found that better search effectiveness can often be achieved when additional terms are added to the initial queries through query expansion or relevance feedback. The resulting queries are usually longer than the initial queries. In this paper, we propose a new method to construct database representatives and to decide which databases to select for longer queries. Experimental results are given to compare the performance of the new method with that of a previous method. 1-hop neighbor's text information: Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing In this report, some collaborative work between the fields of Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) is presented.

In particular, we develop two general approaches for an important subproblem - identifying phrase structure. The first is a Markovian approach that extends standard HMMs to allow the use of a rich observation structure and of general classifiers to model state-observation dependencies. The second is an extension of constraint satisfaction formalisms. We develop efficient combination algorithms under both models and study them experimentally in the context of shallow parsing. 1 Introduction In many situations it is necessary to make decisions that depend on the outcomes of several different classifiers in a way that provides a coherent inference that satisfies some constraints - the sequential nature of the data or other domain specific constraints. Consider, for example, the problem of chunking natural language sentences ... Target text information: Error-Driven Pruning of Treebank Grammars for Base Noun Phrase Identification Finding simple, non-recursive, base noun phrases is an important subtask for many natural language processing applications. While previous empirical methods for base NP identification have been rather complex, this paper instead proposes a very simple algorithm that is tailored to the relative simplicity of the task. In particular, we present a corpus-based approach for finding base NPs by matching part-ofspeech tag sequences. The training phase of the algorithm is based on two successful techniques: first the base NP grammar is read from a "treebank" corpus; then the grammar is improved by selecting rules with high "benefit" scores. Using this simple algorithm with a naive heuristic for matching rules, we achieve surprising accuracy in an evaluation on the Penn Treebank Wall Street Journal. 1 Introduction Finding base noun phrases is a sensible first step for many natural language processing (NLP) tasks: Accurate identification of base noun phrases is arguably the most critical comp...

1-hop neighbor's text information: Supporting Conflict Resolution in Cooperative Design Systems Complex modern-day artifacts are designed cooperatively by groups of experts, each with their own areas of expertise. The interaction of such experts inevitably involves conflict. This paper presents an implemented computational model, based on studies of human cooperative design, for supporting the resolution of such conflicts. This model is based centrally on the insights that general conflict resolution expertise exists separately from domain-level design expertise, and that this expertise can be instantiated in the context of particular conflicts into specific advice for resolving those conflicts. Conflict resolution expertise consists of a taxonomy of design conflict classes in addition to associated general advice suitable for resolving conflicts in these classes. The abstract nature of conflict resolution expertise makes it applicable to a wide variety of design domains. This paper describes this conflict resolution model and provides examples of its operation from an implemente... 1-hop neighbor's text information: The Adaptive Agent Architecture: Achieving FaultTolerance Using Persistent Broker Teams Brokers are used in many multi-agent systems for locating agents, for routing and sharing information, for managing the system, and for legal purposes, as independent third parties.

Target text information: Exception Handling in Agent Systems A critical challenge to creating effective agent-based systems is allowing them to operate effectively when the operating environment is complex, dynamic, and error-prone. In this paper we will review the limitations of current "agent-local" approaches to exception handling in agent systems, and propose an alternative approach based on a shared exception handling service that is "plugged", with little or no customization, into existing agent systems. This service can be viewed as a kind of "coordination doctor"; it knows about the different ways multi-agent systems can get "sick", actively looks system-wide for symptoms of such "illnesses", and prescribes specific interventions instantiated for this particular context from a body of general treatment procedures. Agents need only implement their normative behavior plus a minimal set of interfaces.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: "A New York Times Book Review Editor's Choice 2009""One of Financial Times's Best Books for 2007""In his engaging readings of these works, Weitz forgoes abstruse analysis. Instead, he presents them as fresh attempts to make sense of a world in which reliable beliefs about authority and order, class and gender, wealth and poverty, no longer held. His most innovative chapter is an imaginary walk through Berlin, observing the daily lives of the city's different classes. . . . Better than most histories, the book connects culture, politics and city life."---Brian Ladd, New York Times Book Review"Weimar Germany is elegantly written, generously illustrated and never less than informative. It is also history with attitude. In that respect, it perhaps also reflects in itself something of the fractious period which its pages so convincingly evoke."---Peter Graves, Times Literary Supplement"Excellent and splendidly illustrated. . . . Weimar was more than a German phenomenon. . . . [Weimar Germany] is a superb introduction to its world, probably the best available."---Eric Hobsbawm, London Review of Books"Weitz takes readers on a walk through Weimar Republicera Berlin in the footsteps of a 1920s flneur, an urban ambler. . . . Separate chapters, with a wealth of well-chosen illustrations, explore Weimar's new theories of architecture, graphic arts, photography, theater, philosophy and sexuality. Weitz selects key exemplars of each discipline--Brecht, Weill, Mann, Bruno Taut, Erich Mendelsohn, August Sander, Lszl Moholy-Nagy, Hannah Hch, Siegfried Kracauer, etc.--for in-depth focus. . . . A lively style and excellent illustrations make this intellectually challenging volume accessible to both academics and armchair scholars." (Publishers Weekly)"Now . . . comes Eric D. Weitz's long-awaited Weimar Germany, a work that builds on the extant literature and gives things a refreshing new spin. A seasoned scholar of German history, Weitz offers an altogether original approach, a potent mix of cutting-edge historical analysis, rich visual and literary illustration, and imaginative excursions through the physical spaces and places of the era, bringing to bear his uncommon erudition and a prose style that is at once rigorous, wonderfully animated, and distinguished by breathtaking clarity."---Noah Isenberg, Bookforum"Weitz has produced an elegant and captivating study of Germany's Weimar years, that turbulent period from 1918 to 1933 when the old German society seemed to break apart. In this period, Germany became a constitutional democracy, the arts blossomed, modern and liberal ideas flourished, and the economic and political situation staggered from one crisis to another, ending in the Nazi ascendance to power. This period is often treated as simply the forerunner to the Nazi era, but Weitz shows that it was far more than that. . . . Weitz has synthesized in clear and engaging fashion a great deal of the huge primary and secondary literature of Weimar. . . . If you have only one book on the Weimar period, this should be it. For all libraries."---Barbara Walden, Library Journal"[Weitz] is a reliable guide through Weimar's political and economic maze, and a good one on the social revolution that made many women--far from all--less dependent on husband, hearth and home. In one of his best chapters, Mr. Weitz takes us on a ramble through the sleepless metropolis of 1920s Berlin: from the glittering cafes around Potsdamer Platz to Isherwood's cabarets and seedy bars, from the bracing beaches of Wannsee Lake to the dank and stifling dwellings of the workers' quarter, Wedding." (The Economist)"Brilliantly maps a pivotal era."---Peter Skinner, Foreword Magazine"This is not another standard history of the Weimar Republic. Eric Weitz effortlessly blends politics and economics, philosophy and literature, art and architecture in a gripping portrait of a culture whose pathology was exceeded only by its creativity. From Heidegger to Hitler, from Bauhaus to 'our house, ' from Thomas Mann to Fritz Lang, much of Western modernity was invented here-its glories as well as its horrors. This is history at its best."--Josef Joffe, publisher and editor of Die Zeit and fellow of the Hoover Institution, Stanford University"This superb book not only finally delivers a satisfying general history of Weimar that has been missing for many years, but, more important, is a remarkable accomplishment in that it covers all the main themes of Weimar Germany, ranging from politics to literature, architecture to economy, cinema to ideology. Elegantly written and cleverly structured, this is an outstanding achievement by a mature, erudite, balanced, and intellectually sophisticated scholar."--Omer Bartov, Brown University"Implied throughout this book is the question of whether it is possible for contemporary democracies to succumb to neofascist forces in the same way that the Weimar Republic fell to the Nazis. For Weitz, the downfall of Weimar does not simply provide a lesson of what we should avoid today. Rather his insightful book vividly portrays the Weimar period as a historical epoch filled with creative experiments and utopian projects that still need to be realized."--Jack Zipes, University of Minnesota"Eric Weitz, a leading American historian of the German Left, has given English-language readers the most textured, encompassing, and engaging history of Weimar to date. He presents the first German republic, and Berlin in particular, as a beleaguered experiment in mass politics and mass culture: overshadowed by the terrible costs of a lost war, deeply divided politically, but still an open-ended wager on modernity."--Charles Maier, Harvard University"Weitz has written a simply magnificent history of the Weimar Republic, one that incorporates its economic, political, and cultural history in a way that no other book has succeeded in doing. The book is knowledgeable, lively, lucid, and thorough, and Weitz's enthusiasm for his subject is palpable. Undoubtedly, this will be the standard history of Weimar Germany for years to come."--Richard Wolin, author of The Seduction of Unreason: The Intellectual Romance with Fascism from Nietzsche to Postmodernism"Enriched by many contemporary photos, Weitz's comprehensive and highly readable account of the Weimar Republic incorporates the latest research on post-World War I Germany. To my knowledge, there is no other book that does a better job of examining the country's precarious existence between liberal-democratic modernity and conservative-authoritarian backlash."--V. R. Berghahn, Columbia University"This is an important and evocative book that balances broad cultural developments and richly detailed analyses of, for example, the cultural criticism of Siegfried Kracauer, the collages of Hannah Hch, and the pessimistic ruminations of Oswald Spengler. Weimar Germany should find a broad audience given its subject, its lucid and lively style, and its wonderful illustrations."--Mary Nolan, New York University; Title: Weimar Germany: Promise and Tragedy - New and Expanded Edition 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Michael Burleighs Sacred Causes is one of the most important books of the decade.

Claudia Koonz's powerfully written study of the inculcation of a Nazi racialist ethos in the years before extermination answers this question as persuasively as any other to date. (Charles S. Maier, author of The Unmasterable Past: History, Holocaust, and German National Identity)In this valuable and original book, Claudia Koonz analyzes how the Nazis legitimized the Third Reich and facilitated Hitler's consensual dictatorship and genocidal policies. This daring reinterpretation of the relationship between the Nazi leadership, its middle- and low-ranking cadres, and other sectors of the German population shows the gradual shift in public opinion toward the regime's worldview. Ultimately, Nazism created a positive, moral image of itself just as it sanctioned the annihilation of enemies perceived as unethical and immoral. (Omer Bartov, author of Germany's War and the Holocaust: Disputed Histories)Claudia Koonz's arresting new book makes the case that between 1933 and 1939, before the Second World War and the Holocaust, the Nazis built a perverse ethical consensus in Germany. Preaching fears of racial weakness along with pride and commitment to a new moral order, self-righteous opinion leaders created an ethnic fundamentalism--of which we have not, she suggests in a closing reflection, seen the last. (Michael R. Marrus, author of The Holocaust In History)This is an artfully written book, with engaging asides and a captivating sense of detail and touching comment that is rare for a volume on Nazism. I don't know where else I've learned so much about everyday life and culture under Nazism. (Robert N. Proctor, author of The Nazi War on Cancer)Hitler, Koonz says, understood the German people's need for a sense of coherence in the wake of what many saw as the degeneracy of the Weimar Republic--and 'he promised to rescue old-fashioned values of honor and dignity' by offering a secular faith to replace lost religious certainties. Koonz explores the promotion of these beliefs in German culture and law, and how they led to the catastrophe of the Holocaust, adding much to our understanding of how a civilized society could reach such infamous levels of violence. (Publishers Weekly)Claudia Koonz...explains in her insightful new book how Germans, who were among Europe's least anti-Semitic people, came to support a leadership that sought to annihilate European Jewry...The readiness of many Germans to acquiesce evolved as a consequence of their internalization of the knowledge that was disseminated apparently by legitimate institutions of the state. As Koonz notes, the indoctrination was successful because there was little reason to question the facts conveyed by experts, documentary films, educational materials, and popular science. The German public was reeducated to support the elimination of Jews, Gypsies, the chronically ill, and other categories of the 'unfit'--all as a moral good, consistent with the dictates of conscience. Koonz's prodigious work is a major contribution to our understanding of the social and ideological history of the Third Reich. (Jack Fischel Weekly Standard 2004-01-12)Koonz does not deny the existence of extremist and violent anti-Semites in the Nazi leadership. But her stress on the moderate way their ultimately genocidal plans were presented as necessary cruelties adds an important dimension in our understanding of the Nazi regime and its crime. (Antony Polonsky Boston Globe 2003-12-21)Trudl Junge, former personal secretary to Adolf Hitler, once noted that the Fhrer's success came with his ability to manipulate other people's conscience. On a vast scale, the German people no longer knew right from wrong. Koonz presents a compelling argument to suggest that Junge was in some degree right. The Germans did not surrender their conscience but submitted to its transformation away from conventional Western notions of right and wrong to a radical, racial nationalism that established criteria for assessing moral actions and outcomes. (J. Kleiman Choice 2004-06-01)Koonz displays the gradual transformation of the traditional idea of conscience into something that was utterly shaped by the subordination of one's own self to that of the Volk. (Aharon ben Anshel Jewish Press 2004-03-26)[Koonz] documents in exemplary fashion what the historical actors actually thought, felt, advocated, planned, and organized before they acted...impressively researched, lucidly organized, disturbing, yet eminently readable.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Implicit Human Computer Interaction Through Context In this paper the term implicit human computer interaction is defined. It is discussed how the availability of processing power and advanced sensing technology can enable a shift in HCI from explicit interaction, such as direct manipulation GUIs, towards a more implicit interaction based on situational context. In the paper an algorithm that is based on a number of questions to identify applications that can facilitate implicit interaction is given. An XMLbased language to describe implicit HCI is proposed. The language uses contextual variables that can be grouped using different types of semantics as well as actions that are called by triggers. The term of perception is discussed and four basic approaches are identified that are useful when building context-aware applications. Providing two examples, a wearable context awareness component and a sensor-board, it is shown how sensor-based perception can be implemented. It is also discussed how situational context can be exploited to im... 1-hop neighbor's text information: Principles of Mixed-Initiative User Interfaces Recent debate has centered on the relative promise of focusing user-interface research on developing new metaphors and tools that enhance users' abilities to directly manipulate objects versus directing effort toward developing interface agents that provide automation.

However current solutions overwhelm users with intrusive and ambiguous notifications. In this paper, we describe scaleable auditory techniques and a contextual notification model for providing timely information, while minimizing interruptions. User's actions influence local adaptation in the model. These techniques are demonstrated in Nomadic Radio, an audio-only wearable computing platform. Target text information: Sensing Techniques for Mobile Interaction We describe sensing techniques motivated by unique aspects of human-computer interaction with handheld devices in mobile settings. Special features of mobile interaction include changing orientation and position, changing venues, the use of computing as auxiliary to ongoing, real-world activities like talking to a colleague, and the general intimacy of use for such devices. We introduce and integrate a set of sensors into a handheld device, and demonstrate several new functionalities engendered by the sensors, such as recording memos when the device is held like a cell phone, switching between portrait and landscape display modes by holding the device in the desired orientation, automatically powering up the device when the user picks it up the device to start using it, and scrolling the display using tilt. We present an informal experiment, initial usability testing results, and user reactions to these techniques. Keywords Input devices, interaction techniques, sensing, contextaware...

1-hop neighbor's text information: Automatic Resource list Compilation by Analyzing Hyperlink Structure and Associated Text We describe the design, prototyping and evaluation of ARC, a system for automatically compiling a list of authoritative web resources on any (sufficiently broad) topic. The goal of ARC is to compile resource lists similar to those provided by Yahoo! or Infoseek. The fundamental difference is that these services construct lists either manually or through a combination of human and automated effort, while ARC operates fully automatically. We describe the evaluation of ARC, Yahoo!, and Infoseek resource lists by a panel of human users. This evaluation suggests that the resources found by ARC frequently fare almost as well as, and sometimes better than, lists of resources that are manually compiled or classified into a topic. We also provide examples of ARC resource lists for the reader to examine. 1-hop neighbor's text information: Breadth-First Search Crawling Yields High-Quality Pages This paper examines the average page quality over time of pages downloaded during a web crawl of 328 million unique pages.

Target text information: Exploration versus Exploitation in Topic Driven Crawlers Topic driven crawlers are increasingly seen as a way to address the scalability limitations of universal search engines, by distributing the crawling process across users, queries, or even client computers. The context available to a topic driven crawler allows for informed decisions about how to prioritize the links to be explored, given time and bandwidth constraints. We have developed a framework and a number of methods to evaluate the performance of topic driven crawler algorithms in a fair way, under limited memory resources. Quality metrics are derived from lexical features, link analysis, and a hybrid combination of the two. In this paper we focus on the issue of how greedy a crawler should be. Given noisy quality estimates of links in a frontier, we investigate what is an appropriate balance between a crawler's need to exploit this information to focus on the most promising links, and the need to explore links that appear suboptimal but might lead to more relevant pages. We show that exploration is essential to locate the most relevant pages under a number of quality measures, in spite of a penalty in the early stage of the crawl.

Some of the pictures depict Darien Lake before it became the sprawling thrill center of recent decades.I really enjoyed revisiting my memories of going to these parks with my family, Hirsch said. Only four of the parks featured in the book are still open.Crystal Beach Amusement Park is Hirschs all-time favorite amusement park, she said. Her family visited the park at least once a summer during her youth.It had dark rides and roller coasters, Hirsch said. Everything a thrill-seeker could want was at Crystal Beach.Hirsch also has fond memories of Christmas Park in Albion. That park helped her to love and appreciate the Christmas holiday, she said.As a child, the Sky Fighter was Hirschs favorite kiddie ride. It can still be found at Carousel Water and Fun Park in Beach Lake, Pa. As soon as she rode the Silver Comet at Fantasy Island, that ride took over as her favorite, she said.Hirsch took about a year to research and write Western New York Amusement Parks.Finding some of the old photographs was the trickiest part of the research, she said.They were obtained through Hirschs own post card collection, at the Buffalo State College Archives and from other amusement park fans on Facebook.She also wrote books for Arcadia on Kiddie Parks of the Adirondacks and Crystal Beach.As a western New Yorker, Rose Ann Hirsch grew up visiting several of the areas parks and spent 31 summers riding the Comet at Crystal Beach. She has written various articles and books on amusement park topics, including Kiddie Parks of the Adirondacks.; Title: Western New York Amusement Parks (Images of America) Target text information: Description: Spencer D.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: This epic account of the hidden sexual abuse and the scandal that rocked the foundation of the Catholic Church reads like The Perfect Storm. Using a riveting, being-there narrative device, France recounts 50 years worth of real-life characters, events, and institutional policies that created the breeding ground for the horrendous sexual abuse and ensuing scandal. Ultimately, this is an indictment of the Church--revealing how its institutional condemnation of homosexuality led to it predatory deviance and deplorable cover-up.The structure--dated vignettes in chronological order--seems like a logical device for organizing France's extensive research. Although these vignettes offer excellent character sketches, scene work, and vivid, heartbreaking details (such as the smell of the musty bare mattress where one teenage boy was raped by his priest); this tight chronological structure has limitations. For instance, readers are never given an introductory or concluding discussion in which France makes overall sense of the scandal. Rather, readers are asked to piece together date-by-date entries and glean conclusions and insights through the unfolding chain of events along with France's occasional melodramatic assertions. ("It was the church's worst nightmare and it had come to pass. As the flock knew, the shepherds had struck themselves"). While France has tackled an important trauma, and has meticulously noted and indexed all his research, he could have used a more heavy-handed editor--weeding out the extraneous entries and forcing France to step forward more as the informed narrator. --Gail HudsonFrance, who covered the Catholic Church sex scandal as an investigative editor at Newsweek, delivers a huge volume that offers reasons for the scandal and humanizes those involved-victims, perpetrators and hierarchy. Apart from interviews with some participants that are woven into a sweeping 40-year-long chronology of events, there isn't a great deal of factually new material in this tome, as copious footnotes drawing on others' reporting and analysis show. But the author dramatizes the story with you-are-there intimacy, from the opening vignette that confusingly narrates a movie scene; through "the soft deep heat" of an adolescent kiss experienced by a sexually confused teenager "who once was struck by love" (and who grows into a self-hating gay priest); and on through interior views of a victim's devastated mother. The 672-page book isn't all adjectival color, but especially in its early chapters, which reach back to the 1950s to recreate incidents, France's tone is sometimes melodramatic, which some may appreciate as storytelling, while others may perceive as sensationalizing. The author argues that the cause of the scandal is an antiquated misunderstanding of human sexuality, with a view of homosexuality that is pernicious, a thesis that gives the church the burden of societal homophobia. So readers get a side tour of the 1969 Stonewall bar riot, Vatican-driven suppression of advocates for gay Catholics and other anecdotes, including that of a gay Italian man who in 1998 immolated himself in St. Peter's Square. Although France sees them as essential, such episodes lengthen the book and dilute its focus on what happened in rectories, chanceries and family living rooms.

[The author] claims that the pope has become unaccountable, and that the atmosphere within the Vatican is primarily one of fear."--The Catholic Herald"The most valuable service provided by the author of The Dictator Pope is the psychological portrait of Pope Francis: manipulative, hypersensitive, and often downright vindictive--certainly not the cheerful populist that his supporters make him out to be....For all the talk about a 'reformer pope, ' the rhetoric about decentralization, and the promises of reform, the net results of this pontificate to date have been a climate of fear within the Vatican, a tightening of control, and a resurgence of the 'old guard' in Rome." --Philip Lawler, author of Lost Shepherd: How Pope Francis Is Misleading His FlockMarcantonio Colonna is the pen name of Henry Sire (H. J. A. Sire), an author and historian. Sire was born in 1949 in Barcelona to a family of French ancestry. He was educated in England at the Jesuits centuries-old Stonyhurst College and at Exeter College, Oxford, where he gained an honors degree in Modern History.He is the author of six books on Catholic history and biography, including one on the famous English Jesuit, writer, and philosopher Father Martin DArcy, SJ. The Dictator Pope is the fruit of Henry Sires four-year residence in Rome from 2013 to 2017. During that time he became personally acquainted with many figures in the Vatican, including Cardinals and Curial officials, together with journalists specializing in Vatican affairs.; Title: The Dictator Pope: The Inside Story of the Francis Papacy 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Authors Jason Berry (Lead Us Not into Temptation) and Gerald Renner (retired reporter for the Hartford Courant) team up for this highly accusatory report on the sex abuse scandal within the Catholic Church. The "vows of silence" speak to the Church's self-protective secrecy that made it possible to ignore the rampant abuse, despite all the early accusations and red flags. To reveal the history and scope of this problem, Berry and Renner expertly researched the parallel lives of two key players. The first one is Thomas Doyle, portrayed as an American hero priest. Doyle first heard about priests sexually abusing children in the early 1980s. Doyle immediately started to confront his superiors and blow the whistle at every turn. As early as 1983 Doyle wrote that the Church's secrecy caused any and all wrongdoings to be "denied, covered up and rationalized with equal zeal." Years later he became an advocate for! victim restitution, testifying against the Church in numerous court cases. The second character is more like the antichrist: Father Marcial Maciel, who was the influential founder of the cult-like order of Legionaries of Christ and accused of being a particularly cruel and long-term sexual predator.This parallel lives approach makes for compelling storytelling, but it also creates a disjointed approach with much skipping around in time. What sets this apart from yet-another-expose about the Catholic Church sex abuse scandal is the in-depth reporting on the militaristic Legionaries of Christ, an extremely powerful and conservative order of priests and laymen that are affiliated with a worldwide web of prep schools and universities. Berry and Renner offer a fascinating conspiracy theory about how this international legion managed to protect its abusers and contribute to the long-term secrecy and cover-up. The bold accusations eventually land in the lap of Pope John Paul II, who seemed more invested in protecting the legion and the vow of silence than addressing the abuse. --Gail HudsonThis impassioned expos explores the history of priestly pedophilia scandals, and their roots in what the authors portray as the Church's blinkered sexual mors and arrogant hierarchy, through profiles of two emblematic Church figures. The first is Thomas Doyle, an American priest who investigated abuses in the early 1980s; when his recommendations for reform were ignored, Doyle broke with the hierarchy and began testifying about the Church's cover-up. Doyle's antithesis is Marcial Maciel Degollado, founder of the Legionaries of Christ, a secretive, fanatically disciplined order of conservative priests and laymen with a chain of universities and schools that critics liken to a cult. Lionized by John Paul II, Maciel is also a pedophile and Demerol addict, according to at least nine former priests and seminarians who claim they were victimized by him. Investigative journalists Berry and Renner build on years of research and hundreds of interviews to paint a portrait of ecclesiastical corruption. They blame the Church's sexual doctrines-particularly the rule on priestly celibacy, which, they contend, has driven away heterosexual men and fostered a pathologically libertine "gay priest culture" at some American seminaries. The result is an atmosphere of silence and hypocrisy that simultaneously condemns and tolerates both homosexuality and priestly sexual abuse, in which an authoritarian Church hierarchy, reaching up to the Vatican, protects pedophiles, and buries accusations in labyrinthine legal maneuvers. The book's sprawling, somewhat disorganized narrative sometimes bogs down amidst incidental characters and insignificant details, and the panorama of sordid sex crimes, quasi-fascist brainwashing and cynical Vatican mandarins may lead critics to accuse the authors, professed Catholics themselves, of retailing lurid anti-Catholic clichs. But their exhaustive reporting adds up to a disturbing indictment of a deeply troubled Church, and this book will no doubt cause much discussion and controversy.

I enjoyed reading it immensely, and recommend it unreservedly."Bernard Hamilton - JRAS, Series 3 - Volume 15/3 - 2005 "Professor Peter Jackson's breadth of reading is admirable and his exact notes are full of precious information about sources and secondary literature. His command of languages is breathtaking, including as it does Persian, Polish and Hungarian.""It is both a scholarly study and a profound and useful handbook for specialists, and, as such, this clearly written book will be read all over the world. It would also be suitable for a university course book"Antti Ruotsala - Institute of Historical Research review, April 2006In the thirteenth century, a dynamic and expansive Catholic Christendom, which had been free of major attack from its steppe frontier for over two hundred years, was confronted by a new and alien power in the shape of the vast empire of the advancing Mongols.Despite the devastation of Hungary and Poland in 1241-2 and ongoing hostilities in Eastern Europe, the advent of the Mongols appeared to offer the West new opportunities. Historically, the failure to exploit these opportunities by not allying with the Mongols in the Near East against the Muslims, or by not converting the Mongols to Christianity is usually blamed on the West. This book demonstrates that such possibilities were illusory.Written in a lively and accessible style, The Mongols and The West reassesses relations between the Catholic West and the Mongols from the first appearance of Chinggis Khans armies on Europes horizons in 1221 to the death of Temr or Tamerlane (1405) and the battle of Tannenberg (1410), across the spheres of diplomacy, missionary endeavour and trade.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: The focus of this fine book, which is at once doggedly scrupulous and quietly passionate, is the slave market that operated in New Orleans in the years before the Civil War An area of recent and still tentative study has to do with the effect the slaves had on the people who bought and sold them; to this Johnson makes important and original contributions In what it tells us about the slaves, Soul by Soul adds more detail to what is by now a staggering body of information. It is in telling us more about what slavery did to the men and women who stood on the privileged side of the divide that Johnson performs his most useful service. Slavery brutalized its victims, but it also corrupted its masters. It was, in every single regard, unspeakable.Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book WorldA forceful reminder that life in the Crescent City after the battle wasn't all toleration [This is an] elegant and intelligent book.Nicholas Lemann, New YorkerJust when readers might have thought nothing new could be written about slavery, Walter Johnson's behind-the-scenes look at the New Orleans slave market unmasks the brutalities of trafficking in human flesh in a terrifying, unforgettable manner. Mr. Johnson's carefully researched saga picks up after the 1808 U.S. ban on trans-Atlantic slave trading. Far from shutting down slavery, the prohibition simply boosted domestic slave trafficking Soul by Soul gives context to its content, making it a fascinating 'insider's' view of a world created by slavery.Meta G. Carstarphen, Dallas Morning News[Soul by Soul has] an interesting and compelling argument Where Johnson succeeds[is in] using the New Orleans slave market, its contents and its customers as a way to understand a culture that no longer exists.Matthew DeBord, SalonJohnson's extremely rich and subtle work, the first in-depth look at the slave markets, never lets the reader forget the reality that this was a trade in human beings Among the most striking and important aspects of the book is the way Johnson makes clear the resistance of enslaved African-Americans to becoming mere items of property Johnson teaches us that, despite the insistence of white slaveholders that slaves were simply possessions, enslaved African-Americans routinely asserted their humanity and forced slaveholders to take this into account when bringing people to market. At the same time that Johnson keeps the spotlight squarely on the humanity of enslaved African-Americans, he also presents a complicated account of those who went to the markets to buy Anyone interested in American history must strive to understand something about slavery, and as Johnson shows us, the event of the sale of one human being to another is at the center of the story of slavery. The horror of that transaction remains so powerful that even today descendants of its victims, as well as of its perpetrators, are still trying to comprehend it. Walter Johnson's important book makes a valuable contribution to that endeavor.Judith Weisenfeld, NewsdayWalter Johnson has gone where no historian has gone before: inside the slave markets of the antebellum South Johnson, through his book, has spoken for the unknown thousands who couldn't speak for themselves Johnson has given a voice to those voiceless slaves whose descendants owe it to their ancestors to read this book.Gregory Kane, Baltimore SunA challenging, eye-opening study that deserves a wide audience Johnson delves into the contradictions and complexities that arise when human beings are treated as commodities He gets inside the heads of slaves, traders and buyers in order to explore the desires, fears and strategies they brought to this inhuman transaction Soul by Soul shines a penetrating light on the brutal heart of the South's peculiar institution.Fritz Lanham, Houston ChronicleSoul by Soul is a stunning excavation of the past, a book that is sure to be read and debated for years to come. Walter Johnson creates a common identity for the slaves by letting their voices give shape to the narrative. In an age such as ours, so premised on individual liberty, the author performs a kind of moral autopsy on the mindset of slave owning.Jason Berry, Gambit WeeklyJohnson tells us many things about [the] commodification of human beings, some of which you probably know and others that are more surprising Johnson's book covers wide territory, from the petty encounters of small slave traders to the extraordinary power of slavery in the southern economy.Peter Walker, Financial TimesJohnson provides the fullest, most penetrating examination of the antebellum slave market to date. Using slave narratives, court records, planters' letters, and more, Johnson enters the slave pens and showrooms of the New Orleans slave market to observe how slavery turned men and women into merchandise and how slaves resisted such efforts to steal their humanity. He tracks the slaves from their march to the market to the terrifying moments of sale and adaptation to new masters, places, and work. Johnson's original, important, and brilliantly presented book makes a case for the slave market as 'best place to see slavery.' It was there that self-interest, concepts of race, and the slave 'community' came together to reveal how white men traded their own souls for a stake in human property. An essential book for anyone who wants to understand why slavery matters.Randall M. Miller, Library JournalWalter Johnson is Winthrop Professor of History and Professor of African and African American Studies at Harvard University.; Title: Soul by Soul: Life Inside the Antebellum Slave Market 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: With its legacy of brutality and of the horrific overseas passage, the transatlantic slave trade may be imagined as the kidnapping of Africans without regard to nationality or ethnicity. Based on his research, however, Michael A. Gomez suggests that Africans, upon arriving in America, were dispersed much more closely along ethnic and cultural lines than previously acknowledged. The underlying theme of his provocative work, Exchanging Our Country Marks, is that while blacks eventually replaced their African ethnic identities with new racial ones after arriving in the American South, they retained much of their original cultures far longer than was originally suspected. Some of his most interesting evidence of this comes in the form of runaway-slave advertisements, which identified the slaves by their ethnic roots ("Dinah, an Ebo wench that speaks very good English"). By scrutinizing ex-slave narratives, stories, music, and even the location and nature of slave rebellions, Gomez pieces together a genealogy of blacks in the American South, attempting to examine their notions of identity. Of course, much is based on significant speculation, a fact that only underscores the difficulty of such scholarship. Gomez manages to present a wide range of information clearly as he expands on a wealth of recent research regarding the slave trade and the history of blacks in America, making Exchanging Our Country Marks a vast and creative exploration of African identity in the United States from 1526 to 1830.Deeply researched in both African and North American sources."nternational Journal of African Historical Studies"[A] rare and creative inquiry into the origins of African identity in the United States from 1526 to 1830."Gaither Reporter"[A] conceptual "tour de force."

No work was looked upon as menial, consequently there were no menial workers."Luther Standing Bear, 1931
 
 Sioux women are the center of tribal life and the core of the tiospaye, the extended family. They maintain the values and traditions of Sioux culture, but their own stories and experiences often remain untold.
 
 Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve combed through the winter counts and oral records of her ancestors to discover their past. The result, Sioux Women: Traditionally Sacred, illuminates the struggles and joys of her grandmothers and other women who maintained tribal life as circumstances changed and outside cultures pushed for dominance. 
 
 Sneve's storytelling powers enliven her personal exploration of the roles of Sioux girls and women, making the book an accessible journey into modern American Indian society.

Mr. Fax considers the battle on its own terms and n its own time, allowing the reader an unfiltered view of combat and confusion and command decisions--both wise and unwise." - Matthew J. Davenport, The Wall Street Journal"Superb account of the final, violent throes of World War I . . . compelling account of the hastily assembled, lightly trained American Expeditionary Forces." - Tony Perry, Los Angeles Times"Based on meticulous research Gene Faxs fascinating account of the poorly trained 79th Division in the Meuse-Argonne offensive tells us much about how inexperience, poor communications and inadequate support compelled that divisions courageous soldiers to fight 'with their bare hands.' Fax tells the amazing story of how the American Expeditionary Force and the 79th Division overcame many errors and false ideas and paid a high price learning how to fight effectively." - Brigadier General (ret.) Robert A. Doughty"The men of the AEFs 79th Division were warriors for the working day: civilians in uniform. Their training was minimal, their cohesion limited, their tactics defying four years of Western Front experience. Yet the 79ths first assignment was to take one of the best-defended position in the Argonne Forest. It became a compound disaster. But the divisions subsequent recovery is a case study in American soldiers often-demonstrated high learning curve and the AEFs contribution to victory in 1918. Gene Faxs new history of the 79th Division is a masterful study of the long and difficult road to victory." - Professor Dennis Showalter"Ordered to capture the heavily fortified high-ground of Montfaucon on the first day of Meuse-Argonne, the doughboys of 79th Division-fresh from Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia-proved themselves as brave and tenacious soldiers. With Their Bare Hands is a fine testament to their courage under fire and a compelling work of history by Gene Fax." - Mitchell Yockelson, author of FORTY-SEVEN DAYS: HOW PERSHING'S WARRIOR'S CAME OF AGE TO DEFEAT THE GERMAN ARMY IN WORLD WAR I"A careful study of a little-remembered division, in a little-remembered battle, in a little-remembered war. All of which is a pity, because as Gene Fax points out, the accomplishments of the 79th Division were remarkable and reflected better on the record of the American Expeditionary Force than historians often assume. A meticulous story, compellingly told." - Eliot Cohen, author of THE BIG STICK: THE LIMITS OF SOFT POWER AND THE NECESSITY OF MILITARY FORCEGene Fax has written over two hundred research reports, policy papers, and proposals.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Charles DeFoucauld, part of the Orbis Modern Spiritual Masters Series, collects notebook and journal writings by the French soldier, explorer, monk, and hermit who lived among Muslims in Algeria in the early part of the 20th century. His ministry later inspired the founding of the Little Brothers and the Little Sisters of Jesus, which have made him an extremely influential figure for many Catholics around the world. The mandate of DeFoucauld's ministry was not rhetorical persuasion; he sought simply to be present and available to help poor people in the communities where he lived. His writings, which contain some poignant and loving descriptions of the people he lived with, are concerned primarily with advancing his struggle to imitate the person of Christ, and summoning the courage to share in Christ's sacrificial death. "We cannot possibly love him without imitating him," DeFoucauld wrote. "Since he suffered and died in agony, we cannot love him and yet want to be crowned with roses while he was crowned with thorns.... We must love him just as he loved us, in the very same way." --Michael Joseph GrossCharles de Foucauld sought to proclaim the gospel not simply by his words but by his life. Living among the Muslim poor of Algeria, he sought to be a "universal brother", a witness to the love of God for all people. Though at the time of his violent death he had attracted no followers, his story later inspired the foundation of the Little Brothers and the Little Sisters of Jesus. This volume offers a poignant entry into the heart of a modern mystic and martyr.; Title: Charles de Foucauld (Modern Spiritual Masters): Writings 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Countering politicians and interest groups claims that Christians are as persecuted now as they were before Roman emperor Constantine legalized Christianity (313 CE), Moss, an expert on martyrdom, shows how right they are by demonstrating how wrong they are. Theyre wrong, first, when they say martyrdom is particularly Christian, for the early martyrdom literature is, besides wildly improbable, modeled on accounts of the deaths of Socrates and other philosophers, of noble Roman suicides like Lucretia, and of faithful-unto-death Jews in the Maccabean period. Christians experienced anything resembling persecution in a mere 12 nonconsecutive years between Jesus and Constantine; only in the last bout of so-called persecution were Christians targeted, and even then it was for political nonconformity, not religion. Eusebius, the early-fourth-century historian of the faith, invented the still-prevalent concepts of persecution and martyrdom to bind the faithful together in support of the rising institutional church. The downside to this effort was that it encouraged among Christians an us-versus-them, all-or-nothing attitude that can lead to violence, for example, against abortion providers. Historical argumentation at its most cogent. --Ray Olson“Brilliant and provocative…Drawing on close readings of traditional martyr stories and on deep historical research, she convincingly demonstrates that little evidence exists for the widespread persecution of Christians by the Romans.” (—Publisher's Weekly)“Compellingly argued and artfully written, Moss reveals how the popular misconception about martyrdom in the early church still creates real barriers to compassion and dialogue today. An important book and a fascinating read.” (—Archbishop Desmond Tutu)“This is the best sort of history: delightfully accessible yet based on prodigious scholarship, deeply serious, yet entertaining and enlightening. Above all, it shows the reader the importance of sweeping away myth, in order that we do not behave badly in the present, using the past as our excuse.” (—Diarmaid MacCulloch, Professor of the History of the Church at Oxford University and author of Christianity: the First Three Thousand Years)“A tour de force addition to the literature of sacred violence; a case study in how bold scholarship can dismantle it. Candida Moss’s religious history will change religion, and, if Christians heed it, history, too.” (—James Carroll, Author of Jerusalem, Jerusalem)“Moss dismantles the wall of righteousness that some Christians erect in order to justify their conflict with others. Without this persecution narrative, we will be better equipped to work together in our complex and pluralistic world.” (—Sister Simone Campbell, Executive Director of NETWORK)“This is a timely and eye opening book. Moss’ carefully researched and readable account corrects and clarifies an important feature of a history that has been fictionalized for too long.” (—Harvey Cox, Hollis Research Professor of Divinity at Harvard, and author of The Future of Faith)“In engaging prose and with scholarly acumen, Moss pulls back the curtain on one of Western history’s best-kept secrets-that Christians were never subjects of sustained persecution. Read this book and rejoice as Moss turns history on its head and points the way beyond religious violence.” (—Diana Butler Bass, author of Christianity After Religion)“Not only has Candida Moss reminded us that much of what we accept uncritically is pious legend, but that such myths poison the religious and political rhetoric of our time. There is something here to offend everyone, which is the first sign of groundbreaking work.” (—Rev. Dr. Robin R. Meyers, UCC Minister and author of The Underground Church: Reclaiming the Subversive Way of Jesus)“Historical argumentation at its most cogent.” (—Booklist)“Fascinating…One of the most enlightening aspects of “The Myth of Persecution” is Moss’ ability to find contemporary analogies that make the ancient world more intelligible to the average reader.” (--Salon.com); Title: The Myth of Persecution: How Early Christians Invented a Story of Martyrdom 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: This book, which includes a new preface by the author, offers an engrossing portrayal of the early years of the Christian movement from the perspective of the Romans.; Title: The Christians as the Romans Saw Them Target text information: Description: "Candida Moss' well written book puts the study of ancient martyrdom on a completely new footing by her questioning of received datings and persuasive insistence on the diversity of the sources, practices, and ideologies of martyrdom. It is a milestone in the field."--Jan Bremmer, University of Groningen"This is a valuable study on a very important topic...by a brilliant young scholar who has taken the trouble to gain mastery of the scholarship...going back to the early modern period, and who is not afraid to go back to the first principles to re-assess the date and context of the sources."--Kate Cooper, University of Manchester"Ancient Christian Martyrdom shows that we didn't know what we thought we knew--but we now know more thanks to her striking illumination of the varied discourses of martyrdom in relation to ancient attitudes about death, suffering, power, and order."--Brad S. Gregory"An insightful new history of early Christian martyrdoms and the social realities that shaped them. Tertullian's famous line that the blood of martyrs was the foundation of the Church takes on new dimensions as Professor Moss carefully traces the complex history of the death of Christian witnesses."--Harold Attridge, Yale UniversityCandida Moss is Edward Cadbury Professor of Theology at the University of Birmingham, UK.; Title: Ancient Christian Martyrdom: Diverse Practices, Theologies, and Traditions (The Anchor Yale Bible Reference Library) I provide the content of the target node and its neighbors' information.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Ayllu: Distributed Port-Arbitrated Behavior-Based Control . Distributed control of a team of mobile robots presents a number of unique challenges, including highly unreliable communication, real world task and safety constraints, scalability, dynamic reconfigurability, heterogenous platforms, and a lack of standardized tools or techniques. Similar problems plagued development of single robots applications until the "behavior-based" revolution led to new techniques for robot control based on port-arbitrated behaviors (PAB). Though there are now many implementations of systems for behavior-based control of single robots, the potential for distributing such control across robots for multi-agent control has not until now been fully realized. This paper presents Ayllu, a system for distributed multi-robot behavioral control. Ayllu allows standard PAB interaction (message passing, inhibition, and suppression) to take place over IP networks, and extends the PAB paradigm to provide for arbitrary scalability. We give a brief overview of the Broadcast... Target text information: Cooperative Multiagent Robotic Systems Introduction Teams of robotic systems at first glance might appear to be more trouble than they are worth. Why not simply build one robot that is capable of doing everything we need? There are several reasons why two robots (or more) can be better than one: ffl Distributed Action: Many robots can be in many places at the same time ffl Inherent Parallelism: Many robots can do many, perhaps different things at the same time ffl Divide and Conquer: Certain problems are well suited for decomposition and allocation among many robots ffl Simpler is better: Often each agent in a team of robots can be simpler than a more comprehensive single robot solution No doubt there are more reasons as well. Unfortunately there are also drawbacks, in particular regarding coordination and elimination of interference. The degree of difficulty imposed depends heavily upon the task and the communication and control strategies chosen. I provide the content of the target node and its neighbors' information.

Butterworth IV, best-selling authors of The Traffickers and The Honor of Spies)On a moonless night just weeks after September 11, 2001, a U.S. Special Forces team of Green Berets known as ODA 574 infiltrated the mountains of southern Afghanistan with a seemingly impossible mission: to foment a tribal revolt and force the Taliban to surrender. Armed solely with the equipment they could carry on their backs, shockingly scant intelligence, and their mastery of guerrilla warfare, Captain Jason Amerine and his ten men had no choice but to trust their only ally, a little-known Pashtun statesman named Hamid Karzai. Having returned from exile, Karzai&#8212;on the run from the Taliban&#8212;was traveling the countryside to raise a militia.The Only Thing Worth Dying For chronicles the most important mission in the early days of the Global War on Terror, when the men on the ground knew little about the enemy&#8212;and their commanders in Washington knew even less.

Col., U.S. Army (ret.), author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated On Killing and On Combat, and President of the Warrior Science GroupGreat book! The Modern Day Gunslinger should be read by everyone who owns or is considering owning a firearm. Don Mann calls upon his vast experience as a shooter to cover all aspects of shooting but most importantly the mental aspects.

The complete breakdown of every aspect of combat shooting is meticulously discussed, giving the shooter the concrete fundamentals necessary for fully-developed gunslinger skills. Many how-to manuals try to walk a fine line between covering every detail without boring the reader and trying to hit only the high points to keep the information flowing. Dons writing style has changed the rules altogether. Not only is there a fantastic level of detail, but the facts are presented in a crystal clear fashion, illuminating the fine points in a dynamic approach that allows the reader to enjoy the process and not be intimidated by dry prose. I recommend this book for everybody, whether you are a local shooting champion or a novice who has never held a gun before. If you are even thinking about improving your tactical shooting ability, put all the other books back on the shelf: You have found everything you need in The Modern Day Gunslinger.Jimmy B., Senior Firearms and Tactics Instructor, USGA comprehensive, defensive tactical training guide has been long overdue. Don Mann has filled that gap. The Modern Day Gunslinger is an all-inclusive manual that addresses safety, equipment, tactics, and best practices for all shooters. Don and I served together at two different SEAL Commands. I owned an indoor shooting range in Tucson, Arizona, for 10 years and only wish that Don had published this manual then. As an NRA instructor and Arizona Concealed Carry Weapons instructor, I can state emphatically that this manual would have been the only reference my instructors and I would have needed. It would have been mandatory reading for all students.Dan T. Coulter, Commander Navy SEAL Team (Ret.)As an FBI agent, I have instructed government agents in small arms and tactics from all over the world.

It is a very interesting read, chock full of information that may save your life or the life of another. It will have a special place in my library.Edward J. Pollard, Assistant Director (Ret.), Protective Operations, United States Secret ServiceDuring my 25-year career I worked and trained throughout the world as a government weapons and tactics instructor with the CIA, and as an undercover law enforcement officer. Until now, there has not been a single comprehensive training manual that references all the defensive training and shooting procedures currently taught to the worlds most elite military and law enforcement units. The Modern Day Gunslinger unlocks the fundamental training secrets in a clear and concise manner, and illuminates a tangible approach to the world of defensive and tactical shooting.Jon F., Senior Tactics and Weapons Instructor, USGDon Mann has produced a true quality, top-notch product with his book The Modern Day Gunslinger. Don lays it out in laymans terms and covers the whole gambit of shooting skills that build and develop sound shooting techniques from novice to top-notch shooters. Utilizing Dons guidance and skills related in this book, shooters will be able to achieve that higher ability of shooting perfection that will allow them to save lives and be able to return to their loved ones. This is, without a doubt, the most comprehensive, easy-to-read, and understandable instructional shooting book I have ever seen.

The Modern Day Gunslinger is an excellent resource for everyone that has an interest in weapons trainingfrom the military or law enforcement weapons instructor to the novice interested in home defense.Randy Goodman, U.S. Navy (SEAL) Captain (Ret.) and Naval Special Warfare Group CommanderDon Mann is a true warrior. He speaks from a place of knowledge and experience, and has truly been there, done that. By writing The Modern Day Gunslinger, he has done an incredible service to the law enforcement, military, and private security communities, not to mention the everyday warriors who understand todays reality: that each one of us is responsible for our own survival.Niki Anderson, Counterintelligence Advisor, Centre for Counterintelligence and Security StudiesDuring the last 45 years, I have carried a variety of weapons as a combat Marine, a Secret Service Law enforcement Officer, and a USG security contractor. There can be grave legal consequences for anyone improperly carrying or discharging a firearm. My recommendation would be that no one pick up a firearm until they read what Don Mann has written. The Modern Day Gunslinger will assist all levels of shooters by presenting clear-cut information covering every aspect of firearm safety and training.Bill Wamsley, Deputy Chief (Ret.), U.S. Secret ServiceI personally learned so much from The Modern Day Gunslinger, which I consider to be a complete instructional manual for defensive shooting. More importantly, it clearly addresses the responsibility and accountability issues for using a weapon in self-defense. Don Mann addresses the mental aspects that are fundamentally most important in the use of a handgun for self-defense. This book is a terrific tool for beginners and veteran handgun owners who may someday be called to act with a handgun to preserve life, as well as take it. Quite frankly, I found it difficult to put it down.Dr. Raymond Fritz, Navy SEAL CommanderThe USMC taught me how to use firearms effectively in combat situations. The Modern Day Gunslinger builds in depth on this knowledge and experience by clearly discussing safe and effective use of weapons and tactics in civil society, home and personal protection, as well as unusual circumstances.

It addresses the quest of emancipated slaves searching for economic autonomy and equal citizenship, and describes the remodeling of Southern society, the evolution of racial attitudes and patterns of race relations, and the emergence of a national state possessing vastly expanded authority and committed, for a time, to the principle of equal rights for all Americans.This "smart book of enormous strengths" (Boston Globe) remains the standard work on the wrenching postCivil War periodan era whose legacy still reverberates in the United States today.Eric Foner is DeWitt Clinton Professor of History at Columbia University and the author of several books.

Southern politicians, war veterans, and historians successfully promoted the "Lost Cause" view of the origins and results of our national nightmare. The South, so the story goes, wanted to preserve its unique culture, and slavery was not a fundamental basis of that culture. Led by valiant gentlemen-officers (e.g., Robert E. Lee) and brave, defiant common soldiers, the Confederacy struggled against insurmountable odds, eventually succumbing to numerically but not morally superior forces. This collection of essays by nine Civil War scholars shows how the myth was consciously propagated by southerners, often in an attempt to rationalize the physical and social carnage left by the war. These essays are well reasoned and timely, given current controversies raging over the display of the Confederate battle flag. This will be a valuable addition to Civil War collections.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Historian Raphael contends that the United States' war for independence did not begin in April 1775 with the "shot heard round the world." Rather it began the previous summer in rural towns like Worcester as patriots forced royal appointees to publicly resign their offices. These actions brought to a standstill the courts and public bodies established under the Massachusetts Government Act. The thousands of farmers and artisans then reclaimed the Charter of 1691 to democratically reopen the courts, establish new governmental bodies and organize a network of militias. Raphael thus brings into clear focus events and identities of ordinary people who should share the historic limelight with the Founding Fathers. This successful rebellion has until now remained obscure, the author says, because "[t]he telling of history cries out for individual protagonists" while this revolution was decentralized and nonhierarchical, creating not leaders but a participatory democracy that, in Raphael's view, "far outreached the intentions of the so-called `Founding Fathers.'" Moreover, unlike Lexington and Concord, this revolution involved no dramatic shedding of blood. Whether or not "the transfer of political authority to the American patriots" in 1774 was the "real revolution" making the clash in April 1775 a British counter-revolution to regain lost territory Raphael (A People's History of the American Revolution) makes a compelling case that these early events were critical to the success of the war that followed and should no longer escape our notice. His liberal use of primary sources (excerpts from town records, newspapers, letters, etc.), authoritative secondary sources and his meticulous care in footnoting will prove extremely useful for further study. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.A cracking good read....Ray Raphael writes about the American Revolution as if he had been in the thick of it. His no-nonsense approach and style clarify the hig issues and reveal their personal dimensions. This is truly history of the people for the people.; Title: The First American Revolution: Before Lexington and Concord 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Breen elegantly demonstrates how much we miss when our histories are focused principally on the Founding Fathers. Nicholas Guyatt, The Times Literary SupplementGeneration after generation, students are taught that the Founders inspired a hesitant, though hardy, American populace to reclaim its rights . . . The truth is a good deal messier and more interesting. Historians in our own time--Mr. Breen, Gary B. Nash and Gordon S. Wood, among others--have shifted the emphasis to the common people. Alan Pell Crawford, The Wall Street JournalFounding Father John Adams, looking back at the heady and trying days of the American Revolution, famously wrote the Revolution was effected before the war commenced.' T. H. Breen's new history sets out to fill in the detail -- showing that by the time embattled farmers fired the shot heard round the world' in Concord in 1775, the battle had already been joined by tens of thousands of colonials . . . Breen's book shows an energetic and necessarily untidy process of invention on the part of a people, and captures well its improvisatory nature. Art Winslow, Chicago Tribunea scholarly, unnerving account of the American Revolution's darker side--the violence, death threats, false rumors, and extremist rhetoric that introduced a new political order Caleb Crain, The New YorkerIn this compellingly structured and argued book, T.H. Breen asserts that a de facto nation came into existence between the spring and fall of 1774. It was in these crucial months that the people of the thirteen colonies -- not the Founding Fathers, not the Continental Army, not the maladroit British government -- executed a series of steps that collectively solved problems of governance and demonstrated how a republic could be successfully constituted. What's even more surprising is that Breen makes this somewhat counterintuitive argument, one rooted in a social history sensibility, in the form of a chronological narrative. He achieves this cohesion despite lacking a discrete sense of leading characters or a dramatic set of circumstances (the most consequential event of his story is actually a rumor). The result is a book that's highly readable as well as provocative. Jim Cullen, History News NetworkAmerican Insurgents, American Patriots is one of the most compelling accounts I've read of how the people' forged the Revolution. Thomas S. Kidd, Books and CultureAmerican Insurgents, American Patriots is a much-needed corrective to the notion that the Revolution was the product solely of intellectuals and pamphleteers . . . Breen is especially good on reminding us of the passion that the mass of people -- whom he calls insurgents' -- brought to the cause. He traces the role played by newspapers in firing up these rural folks and shows how their readiness to react, sometimes violently, fueled the cause of independence. Tony Lewis, Providence JournalCasting a wide net in his research to reconstruct the patchwork of grassroots rebellions and self-organized protests across the colonies. Breen is among the growing ranks of historians convincingly uncovering how the Founding Fathers followed and controlled, rather than precipitated, the move toward independence and democracy. American HistoryT. H. Breen's American Insurgents, American Patriots is a pioneering and riveting new analysis of how America was born. Skirting the whole Founding Fathers phenomena, Breen champions instead the everyman of the pre-revolution as a brave citizens' brigade of change. A landmark achievement! Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History at Rice University and official CBS News HistorianThe Founding Fathers have all the honor they need. Now it's time to honor the ordinary men and women who T. H. Breen brilliantly assays in this riveting book on the crucial run-up to the Declaration of Independence. He shows how people from small farming communities, risking all, purged the countryside of royal officials, dismantled royal authority, shuttered court houses, and defied the King's troops. In this tautly constructed book, Breen shows how much the bewigged Founding Fathers owed to those beneath them, and how much we owe to the plain-spoken, inconspicuous, and roughened colonial insurgents who are the unsung heroes of the American Revolution. Gary B. Nash, author of The Unknown American RevolutionWho made the American Revolution? Not the men who typically get the most credit for it, says T.H. Breen in American Insurgents, American Patriots. This bracing and impassioned recounting of the origins of America's break with Great Britain puts the people'--ordinary men and women--back into their rightful place in the story. Sure to provoke discussion, Breen's work is a much-needed and welcome addition to the literature on the founding of the American nation. Annette Gordon-Reed, winner of the Pulitzer PrizeT. H. Breen's revisionist page-turner recaptures the ungentlemanly labors of Colonial America's dangerous classes, those vigilantes, night riders, and terrorists who made the Revolution possible even before Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, and Thomas Paine proclaimed its necessity. There is sobering contemporary relevance here for Americans about great empires and the violent resistance they spawn in the name of freedom. David Levering Lewis, winner of the Pulitzer PrizeIn this engaging book, Breen tells the vivid stories of thousands of ordinary Americans who made an extraordinary revolution. American Insurgents, American Patriots reminds us that we have many more Founding Mothers and Fathers than we usually recognize. Breen deftly explores the American Revolution in its full social depth, revealing how it affected everyone: the rich and poor, free and slave, and Patriot and Loyalist. Alan Taylor, winner of the Pulitzer PrizeBreen has uncovered the grass roots of the American Revolution in the unheralded acts of ordinary people. Meeting in towns and villages throughout the colonies, they gave public notice that they no longer consented to British rule. Without the prompting of the leaders who have figured so largely in standard histories, they established their own independence well before Thomas Jefferson and company declared it in their famous document. Edmund Morgan, winner of the Pulitzer PrizeAmerican Insurgents, American Patriots reveals startling details of the alienation and anger that pervaded the minds of thousands of Americans long before shots were fired on Lexington Green. This is a book that deepens our understanding of the American Revolution--and it's a great read in the bargain! Thomas Fleming, author of Washington's Secret War: The Hidden History of Valley ForgeThis compelling narrative examines the lives of ordinary Americans who in the years 1774 and 1775 led the way to American independence. The book's great merit is to describe the foundation that an insurgency of common people constructed for the building of a new nation. Mark A. Noll, Francis A. McAnaney Professor of History, University of Notre DameT. H. Breen restores the people to their proper place in our understanding of the coming of the American Revolution. Showing how popular anger at misguided British policies was channeled into political and military action, Breen gives us fresh perspectives on the ways ordinary Americans mobilized themselves for war and helped create a new nation. Beautifully written and powerfully argued, American Insurgents, American Patriots should attract a wide and grateful readership. Peter S. Onuf, author of Jefferson's Empire: The Language of American NationhoodBreen's account restores a vivid sense of what the American Revolution felt like to the brave men and women who lived through its enormous ups and downs, and its everyday violence as well. With a scholar's command and a writer's sympathy, he infuses a world of meaning into the word insurgent'-- an apt description for the Americans who were turning the known world upside down. Ted Widmer, Director and Librarian, John Carter Brown LibraryIf earlier authors convinced you that Americans owe their independence to a handful of founding brothers,' you will be fascinated by T. H. Breen's persuasive demonstration that the Founders of the republic could not have succeeded--and might not have tried--without support and pressure from tens of thousands of ordinary Patriots who recognized that sometimes leaders need to be led. Woody Holton, author of Abigail AdamsCasting a new light on the origins of the struggle for independence, Breen mines letters, sermons and diaries to create a lively, nuanced account of ordinary farmers' growing resistance to the British government in the two years before the Declaration of Independence. Angry at oppressive parliamentary acts that abrogated their God-given rights, tens of thousands of rebellious insurgents laid the groundwork for a successful revolution. Their anger was every bit as important to the revolutionary story as the learned debates of the Founding Fathers . . . An important new view of a revolution in the making. Kirkus ReviewsBreen presents a provocative reinterpretation of the American Revolution as more of a grassroots movement of ordinary persons . . . This is a valuable book by a distinguished scholar. Publishers WeeklyT. H. Breen is the William Smith Mason Professor of American History at Northwestern University. The author of several works of history, Breen has also written for The New York Times Magazine and the London Review of Books. He lives in Evanston, Illinois.; Title: American Insurgents, American Patriots: The Revolution of the People 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Like his account of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Plain, Honest Men (2009), Beemans depiction of political events culminating in the Declaration of Independence features the main characters in the historical drama, Samuel Adams, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and John Dickinson. Using the Continental Congress as his narrative vehicle, Beeman strives to recover its members proceedings in Philadelphia, not a simple task, considering the authors condemnation of the assemblys secretary, Charles Thomson, as an abysmal record keeper. But Beeman succeeds in showing readers the intricacies of the Congress activities. If history knows Congress traveled from petitioning the British king to denouncing him, Beeman counters assumptions of inevitability with the debates and political maneuvers of radicals and moderates. Showing how, during a two-year period, 177476, the position of reconciliation with Britain evaporated, Beeman as perceptively portrays the dilemmas of moderates like Dickinson as he does the drift of sentiment toward independence within each colonys delegation. Capped by the editing of Jeffersons first draft of the Declaration, Beemans is an engaging history of the Founders of 1776. --Gilbert TaylorBeeman's prose captures those tensions and facilitates the imagination so the reader can feel a part of the debate.... Our Lives, Our Fortunes and Our Sacred Honor is an appropriate complement to David Stewart's The Summer of 1787.... Beeman has produced an authoritative account of how this nation was imagined, and how the members from different sections of the continent were able to put aside their differences and to explore their differing philosophical, political and market needs to form an embryonic government that has grown to be a beacon for other communities seeking self-governance.Roanoke TimesAn engaging history of the Founders of 1776.BooklistFull of fascinating details.Publishers WeeklyLively study of the main players of the two Continental Congresses.... Beeman elegantly moves through the deeply compelling process of how these motley characters fashioned government as an agency for the people. A welcome addition to a rich, indispensable field of scholarly study.Kirkus Reviews, Starred ReviewThe American Revolution tends to bring out the best in its chroniclers. Case in point: Richard Beeman's latest book, Our Lives, Our Fortunes, &amp; Our Sacred Honor: The Forging of American Independence, 1774-1776. It's a charming, fast-paced retelling of a narrative that's been retold a thousand times before.... It's not really the historian's trade he's plying in these pages but rather the epic poet's: reciting the grand old stories while the wine of patriot season flows and the night sky over Boston is filled with fireworks.There's a worth to that, and Beeman has written a worthy book.Open Letters MonthlyThis book should be required reading in every college survey course on American History...

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: "Excellent...places the Ku Klux Klan where it belongs: at the center of Florida and U.S. history." -- The Journal of Southern History, November 2004In vivid, comprehensive, and often grim details, Invisible Empire charts 130 years of Ku Klux Klan activity in Florida, one of the Klan's most violent and enduring realms.Beginning with the chaotic days of Reconstruction, when Klansmen killed more than 150 victims in a single county, this important history describes the organizations influence on Florida politics and its links to modern law enforcement. From the KKK's heyday during the 1920s and 1930s, its alignment in the 1970s and 1980s with a growing crop of neo-Nazis and other cultists, and its emergence in the 1990s on the fring of the "right-to-life" movement, Florida Klansmen have waged a constant war against progressive society. Their crimes range from petty vandalism to assassination and destruction of entire communities. Florida governors have courted Klan ballots, and high-ranking lawmen collaborated with the Klan in campaigns of arson and murder.In addition to recounting tales of violence, Newton addresses the critical question of how the hooded night riders continue to survive--a bitter, marginalized extremist movement that is still marching in what is arguably the Deep South's most progressive and ethnically diverse state.

I also wrote the machine specific;aspects of the SPIN kernel, such as the system call and interrupt paths, and;some miscellaneous interfaces, such as alarms and mach compatibility support.;The novel;aspects of SPIN threads and scheduling are that they provide the means of;extending a kernel with arbitrary thread implementations and scheduling;policies. Dynamically linking the extensions into the kernel allows;us to achieve high-performance. The interface, called strands, is;designed to be safe and provide fault-isolation.;The novel aspect of the;SPIN protection domain interface is that it allows;isolation and safe fine-grain sharing at the same time. Extensions with;conflicting symbols can be simultaneously active in our system. Further,;extensions can hide some of their code and data such that they can be;assured that no one can possibly access them. The clincher is that extensions;that want to share code and data can do so with no dynamic protection;enforcement overhead.;I also implemented a high-performance;web server on top of the SPIN networking;stack. The main objectives in its design are reduced http latency and;minimal load.;I wrote a MIPS instruction set simulator a couple of years ago, called;MIPSI,;that was robust enough to simulate all the SPEC benchmarks and Standard ML of;New Jersey.

He has worked as an analyst in the aerospace industry for over two decades, covering missile systems and the international arms trade, and has served with the Institute for Defense Analyses, a federal think tank. He is the author of numerous books on military technology and military history, with an accent on the US Army in World War II as well as Russia and the former Soviet Union.Johnny Shumate works as a freelance illustrator living in Nashville, Tennessee. He began his career in 1987 after graduating from Austin Peay State University. Most of his work is rendered in Adobe Photoshop using a Cintiq monitor. His greatest influences are Angus McBride, Don Troiani, and douard Detaille.; Title: St L 1944: The Battle of the Hedgerows (Campaign) 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: A great summary of an epic battle...This 96-page paperback profiles theopposing commanders, their armiesand strategies before recounting thecampaign and its aftermath. This bookis extensively illustrated with drawings,maps, photographs and superb artworkcreated by Peter Dennis. Toy Soldier and Model Figure magazine...outlines the most famous of all Caesar's campaigns: a battle that has a good amount of archaeological study behind it. It documents the end of one of the most serious resistances to his conquests: one which would change the face of Celtic control forever, and it adds color maps and illustrations throughout. The result is a powerful pick recommended for any military history collection. James A. Cox, Midwest Book Review (October 2014)Dr. Nic Fields started his career as a biochemist before joining the Royal Marines. Having left the military, he went back to University and completed a BA and PhD in Ancient History at the University of Newcastle in England. He was Assistant Director at the British School at Athens, Greece, and then a lecturer in Ancient History at the University of Edinburgh. Nic is now a freelance author and researcher based in southwestern France. The author lives in St, Augustin sur Mer, France.; Title: Alesia 52 BC: The final struggle for Gaul (Campaign) 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Peter Antill's Stalingrad 1942 discusses one of the key battles of World War II and is a top pick for any in-depth military library seeking more detailed analysis of strategies and approaches to battle. Peter Antill questions why the Germans allowed themselves to be diverted from their main objective and defeated in the Eastern Front: maps and analysis provide keys to understanding. California Bookwatch (August 2007)Peter D. Antill has a background in international politics and defense studies, with a BA in International Relations from Staffordshire University and an MSc in Strategic Studies from the University College of Wales, Aberystwyth. Having worked as a Research Assistant in the Department of Defence Management and Security Analysis at Cranfield from 1998 to 2002, Peter is now pursuing a career as a writer. The author lives in Wiltshire, UK.; Title: Stalingrad 1942 (Campaign) Target text information: Description: The siege of Vienna is outlined in great detail, with maps, paintings and breakdowns of the various attacks mounted by both sides... The author is a serving army officer with a strong interest in military history, and this interest is reflected through the sources utilized in the book for both text and illustrations. I found this book particularly relevant in light of current events in the Middle East, and a good introduction to military history. It provides an overview that is both succinct and richly detailed. Renaissance Magazine (January 2009)In addition to the excellent and highly readable prose, there is a considerable amount of period artwork in the form of drawings and paintings to show what life was like and what some of the leading personalities looked like. This is ably enhanced by the superb illustrations of Peter Dennis, who has illustrated a large number of Osprey books depicting this era in history. Overall, a book I found to be quite engrossing and one that tells the story of the beginning of the eventual downfall of the Ottoman Empire. Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com (March 2008)All of [the campaign] is described here, with excellent maps as well as colour plates. Very highly recommended. John Prigent, Internet Modeler (March 2008)Simon Millar was born in Malaysia in 1957. He joined the British Army in 1977, and having retired in 1994 subsequently rejoined his regiment, the Irish Guards, in 2001. He has previously written Kolin 1757: Frederick the Great's First Defeat, and Assaye 1803: Wellington's first and 'bloodiest' victory for the Osprey Campaign series.

To;alleviate this problem, modern processors issue multiple instructions per;cycle (i.e., superscalars), or interleave the execution of different;threads in different cycles (multithreaded processors). Ultimately, though,;both techniques are limited by the amount of parallelism available within a;single thread in a single cycle.; Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) is a technique that permits multiple;independent threads to issue instructions to a superscalar's functional;units in a single cycle. SMT combines the multiple-instruction-issue;features of wide superscalar processors with the latency-hiding ability;of multithreaded architectures. On an SMT processor, all hardware contexts;are active simultaneously, competing each cycle for all available resources.;This dynamic sharing of processor resources enables SMT to exploit;thread-level and instruction-level parallelism interchangeably; both forms;of parallelism can be effectively used to increase processor utilization.;Our studies have;demonstrated that simultaneous multithreading significantly improves;processor throughput and performance on both multiprogrammed and parallel;workloads. We have shown that these performance gains can be achieved;in an architecture with only minimal extensions to modern out-of-order;superscalar processors.;Our current and future work includes investigations of fast synchronization;techniques enabled by SMT.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Gusterson makes it clear why we don't speak clearly about drones. Only by muddying the waters can we bear to acknowledge what we have invented: a new and oddly intimate way station in the mechanization of death.Hugh Gusterson's Drone is the most intelligent analysis of drone warfare currently availableand the most probing critique of how the United States is using drones in places like Pakistan and Yemen.With his discerning anthropologist's eye, Hugh Gusterson has simultaneously produced both a wide-ranging and a focused study of the role of drones in current U.S. military policy. No relevant piece of evidence has escaped his attention, but he uses his sources economically to extract the most telling details. He concludes with a choice of dystopian (his word) and utopian (mine) drone futures that would convince me to bethowever reluctantlyon the former.

It is at once a harrowing evocation of the Middle Passage, a brilliant account of the ways that Africans and Europeans made sense of the bloody process in which they were joined, and a subtle critique of the categories of historical inquiry. Here we see realized the enormous promise of a genuinely Atlantic approach to the history of American slavery.Walter Johnson, author of Soul by SoulW.E.B. Du Bois called the African slave trade the 'most magnificent drama in the last thousand years of human history.' Stephanie Smallwood captures this drama in imaginative and innovative ways, offering a powerful account of the maritime origins of African-America amid the profound violence of the world market.Marcus Rediker, co-author of The Many-Headed Hydra: Sailors, Slaves, Commoners and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary AtlanticNo study of the Atlantic slave trade has attempted to penetrate the darkness of those ships' holds, to explore what might have gone on in the minds of the hundreds of nameless people trapped below decksuntil now. Smallwood gets there through a tour de force of theoretical sophistication, sensitive informed imagination, and dramatic writing. Hers is the most original and provocative book on the Middle Passage in almost half a century.Joseph C. Miller, author of Way of Death: Merchant Capitalism and the Angolan Slave Trade 17301830Stephanie Smallwood's Saltwater Slavery is the new starting point for studies of the Middle Passage and required reading for students of the black Atlantic.Ira Berlin, University of Maryland, author of Many Thousands GoneSmallwood aims to move away from the numbers game that has ensnared so many other historians studying the Middle Passage. Instead of ledgers and account books, she uses letters, journals, and narratives from around the trade route to get closer to the slave experience itself. As the narrative follows the progress of the newly enslaved across the Middle Passage, Smallwood's use of quotes brings to life the everyday horror experienced by 'Saltwater Slaves,' as Africans first arriving in the Americas were described at the time.Kathryn V. Stewart, Library JournalIn this stark depiction of slaves and their 'utter alienation from the most basic norms of everyday life,' Smallwood simultaneously delivers a lucid popular history and expands scholarly understanding of slavery with a thorough, clear-eyed look at the dreaded Middle Passage and how it shaped the slave experience Smallwood is particularly adept at portraying, in detail, the unbearable conditions of the slave ships Extensive research, much of it from primary sources, forms Smallwood's basis, but she has a storyteller's knack for well-pitched anecdotes and pointed examples.Publishers WeeklyThis deeply researched, tightly focused, and skillfully evocative look at the Atlantic slave trade, 16751725, details the experience of crossing the oceanan ordeal fatal to many of the slaves who were forced to undertake it.The AtlanticStephanie E. Smallwood's excellent book Saltwater Slavery has attracted less attention than it deserves. Making careful use of the primary sources at [the National Archives at] Kew, Smallwood follows 300,000 captives taken from what is now Ghana, between 1675 and 1725, to 'widening circles of the diaspora in the Americas.' An ambitious, innovative and highly successful feature of her book is to take what is known about the beliefs of the isolated societies from which slaves were takencommunities who in some cases had never seen white people, the ocean or a shipto offer a carefully controlled imaginative reconstruction of how the embarked slaves may have conceptualized the 'saltwater' experience and attempted to reconcile what they saw with their existing world view.William St. Clair, Times Literary SupplementStephanie E. Smallwood is Associate Professor of History at the University of Washington, Seattle.; Title: Saltwater Slavery: A Middle Passage from Africa to American Diaspora 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Franz Neumann was a political activist and labor lawyer in Germany who became a political scientist in exile.

Weiss Professor of Holocaust Studies at Northwestern University and the author or editor of seven books, including From Cooperation to Complicity and a prize-winning study of the IG Farben corporation.; Title: Behemoth: The Structure and Practice of National Socialism, 1933-1944 Target text information: Description: "Defying his discipline's preference for theory over history, Vitalis has demonstrated how detailed, archive-based historical accounts can lift the veil on the racism running through international relations as field and practice.""Robert Vitalis wants his discipline to understand not only how central the category of race and the structures of racism were to its founding institutions and paradigms but also to see the erasure of that history not as progress but as repression, a willful forgetting that has if anything made it less equipped to comprehend (much less to address) the shocking racial inequities that still mark both the American and the global order. If international relations scholars want to understand the racial politics that made their field what it is today, there is no better place to begin than with this righteously angry book.""There is much to commend in Vitalis' book which is filled with fascinating vignettes and unexpected connections. He writes with clarity and passion, especially in the book's opening and close, to ensure that whilst ample room is given for the reader to make their own way through the material, it is never an aimless wander.""White World Order, Black Power Politics is a groundbreaking book that has the potential to transform our understanding of a key dimension of twentieth-century American social science. It also contains important, albeit uncomfortable, lessons for contemporary scholars of international politics. Drawing on a vast range of primary sources, Robert Vitalis demonstrates that from the origins of the field until deep into the Cold War, IR helped to serve the interests of the imperial powers and provided an intellectual rationale for the claims of global white supremacy. But this didn't go unchallenged, and he performs an equally important service by drawing attention to the 'Howard School' of IR, a group of remarkable African American scholars who provided the only sustained source of resistance to the racial and imperial pretensions of the field.""A revelation, a provocation, and an inspiration, White World Order, Black Power Politics is required reading for everyone who studies, teaches, or practices international relations in the United States. In reconstructing a lost history of the impact of race and racism in the American study and practice of international relations, Robert Vitalis exposes congenital deformations in the field all the more grave for being invisible and ensures that we will never look at what we do the same way again.""The study of international relations was not born to promote peace among equal states but rather to help ensure racial subjugation on a global scale. This is the startling, bold, and persuasive argument of Robert Vitalis's White World Order, Black Power Politics. This is a book that anyone interested in race relations, international relations, and empire will need to read, and they will all thank Vitalis for daring to write it.""This landmark book provides a superbly well-researched history of the racist underpinnings and practices of International Relations as it first emerged in the United States, and across the Atlantic. Its core analyses sustained through a detailed recounting of the arguments and politics of individual scholars, philanthropists, and the then nascent funding institutions and think tanks - challenge and serve to demystify the mythology of IR as a field of interstate relations. The discipline was established first and foremost to analyze interracial relations and the sustenance of white supremacy. White World Order, Black Power Politics shows how IR, like many social and historical sciences, responded to the imagined imperatives of racial and colonial management. Moreover, the book excavates the hidden history of American IR by bringing to light the contributions to the study of world politics of a group of extraordinary African American scholars, who collectively Vitalis calls the 'Howard School of international relations theory': Alain Locke, Ralph Bunche, E. Franklin Frazier, Rayford Logan, Merze Tate, and Eric Williams, alongside W. E. B. Du Bois, worked to resist these racist premises and imperial imperatives between the late nineteenth and mid-twentieth century. Their struggles reveal not only IR's white supremacist origins, but also why this past may not have yet been surpassed. An intellectual and historical tour de force."Robert Vitalis is Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author of Americas Kingdom: Mythmaking on the Saudi Oil Frontier and When Capitalists Collide: Business Conflict and the End of Empire in Egypt and coeditor of Counter-Narratives: History, Society and Politics in Saudi Arabia and Yemen.; Title: White World Order, Black Power Politics: The Birth of American International Relations (The United States in the World) I provide the content of the target node and its neighbors' information.

The SPIN kernel itself provides;a core set of interfaces and capabilities to basic resources. These;are used by collections of extensions to implement general system;services such as address spaces, IPC, threads, and networking.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: 'This fascinating book is, I believe intentionally, more provocative than merely persuasive, more skeptical than most among us are. It looks at the history of international negotiation, both explicit and by maneuver, in the presence of nuclear weapons and concludes that disparities in nuclear armaments - including zero on one side - make much less difference than they are given credit for. If the argument doesn't persuade you, the forty case studies of nuclear weapons in crisis bargaining (eleven involving the United States) will make you think it over.' Thomas C. Schelling, Winner of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences'Todd S. Sechser and Matthew Fuhrmann make a compelling case that, during the Cold War, nuclear weapons played a critically important role in deterring a nuclear attack on the US; but, importantly, they argue that this was the only role they played. They did not deter the many other security crises we had to deal with, including the Berlin crisis, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. And they argue that this historical fact has great significance to today's security issues. This book is an important read, not only for its clear articulation of history, but for its relevance to planning nuclear forces or nuclear policy today.' William J. Perry, former United States Secretary of Defense'This is the most important study on nuclear compellence since Richard Betts published his landmark book in 1987. In fact, Sechser and Fuhrmann have likely written the definitive study on why nuclear compellence has not worked and cannot work.' Robert J. Art, Christian A. Herter Professor of International Relations, Brandeis University,Massachusetts'Scholars and policymakers have long debated whether obtaining nuclear weapons would allow powerful states to bully or blackmail weaker adversaries, but previous efforts to address this question have lacked both strong logical foundations and systematic empirical evidence. In this rigorous and clearly written study, Todd S. Sechser and Matthew Fuhrmann explain why nuclear superiority confers far less leverage than hardliners typically believe. It is a model of policy-relevant social science that deserves a wide audience.' Stephen M. Walt, Robert and Renee Belfer Professor of International Affairs, Harvard University, Massachusetts'How do nuclear weapons shape international politics? Does the possession of nuclear weapons provide states with coercive advantages during a crisis? Many scholars and policy makers assume that they do. In their well-researched, crisply argued book, Todd S. Sechser and Matthew Fuhrmann rely on both historical and quantitative approaches to develop their theory of nuclear skepticism. Nuclear weapons, they argue, remain powerful tools for deterrence but contribute little to successful coercive diplomacy. This is an important book: Sechser and Fuhrmann's arguments have potentially significant consequences for both our understanding of nuclear dynamics and the practice of nuclear statecraft, and deserve great attention and debate.' Francis J. Gavin, Frank Stanton Chair in Nuclear Security Policy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology'A solid and thorough deconstruction and reconstruction of theories about the utility of nuclear threats. Required reading for anyone interested in nuclear diplomacy.' Bruce M. Russett, Dean Acheson Professor of Political Science, Yale University, ConnecticutCan nuclear weapons be used to blackmail other countries? The prevailing wisdom is that nuclear weapons are useful for coercion in world politics, but this book shows that this view is misguided.

It will provide an invaluable source for a revisionist/materialist interpretation of the Cold War." - Robert Buzzanco, author of Masters of War and Vietnam and the Transformation of American Life"Curt Cardwell demonstrates that political economy is not a lost art. In this meticulously researched and comprehensive account of the place of NSC 68 in the early Cold War, Cardwell lays out the economic imperatives facing the Truman administration and the role rearmament played in postwar recovery. The book is a persuasively argued revision of the standard story told with verve and energy." - Marilyn B. Young, Professor, Department of History, New York University"Curt Cardwell has written an important, perceptive, and analytically powerful book that adds a new dimension to existing understanding of the transformation of the United States after World War II into a national security state. His impressive research substantiates a provocative main thesis that U.S. leaders prosecuted the Cold War more to preserve a liberal economic world order than to contain the Soviet Union. Cardwell exposes the previously overlooked centrality of the dollar gap as a motivating factor guiding postwar U.S. policy, providing an important corrective, especially to existing accounts that exaggerate the success of the Marshall Plan." - James I. Matray, California State University, Chico"Today's overwhelming U.S. military budget had its roots in 1949-1950, whereas the famous (if long-secret) NSC 68 strategy paper of 1950 shaped American plans to the end of the Cold War - and after. Curt Cardwell has written the definitive study of these crucial pivots in American history by giving this book two special qualities: a mastery of the records revealing what triggered these U.S. policies, and a beautifully done dissection of the all-important economic causes that shaped - and misshaped - this historic turn and, consequently, the more than 60 years that have followed." - Walter LaFeber, Cornell University, author of America, Russia, and the Cold War, 1945-2006, and The American Age: U.S. Foreign Relations at Home and Abroad since 1750Cardwell's book argues that NSC 68 grew out of US concerns not with a growing Soviet menace but with the prospect that Western Europe would face a serious payments deficit with the dollar area when the Marshall Plan ended in 1952." -John L. Harper, SurvivalNSC 68 and the Political Economy of the Early Cold War reexamines the origins and implementation of NSC 68, the massive rearmament program that the United States embarked upon beginning in the summer of 1950. It challenges most studies on NSC 68 as a document of geostrategy, and argues, instead, that it is more correctly understood as a document rooted in concerns for the U.S. domestic political economy.; Title: Nsc 68 and the Political Economy of the Early Cold War I provide the content of the target node and its neighbors' information.

I also wrote the machine specific;aspects of the SPIN kernel, such as the system call and interrupt paths, and;some miscellaneous interfaces, such as alarms and mach compatibility support.;The novel;aspects of SPIN threads and scheduling are that they provide the means of;extending a kernel with arbitrary thread implementations and scheduling;policies. Dynamically linking the extensions into the kernel allows;us to achieve high-performance. The interface, called strands, is;designed to be safe and provide fault-isolation.;The novel aspect of the;SPIN protection domain interface is that it allows;isolation and safe fine-grain sharing at the same time. Extensions with;conflicting symbols can be simultaneously active in our system. Further,;extensions can hide some of their code and data such that they can be;assured that no one can possibly access them. The clincher is that extensions;that want to share code and data can do so with no dynamic protection;enforcement overhead.;I also implemented a high-performance;web server on top of the SPIN networking;stack.

This is a great read, and I would like to see more of these subjects addressed by future publications."TOCWOC"Virginia at War, 1864Edited by William C. Davis and James I. Robertson Jr.With more than two years of debilitating fighting already behind them, Virginians in the Civil War faced a new array of challenges in 1864. Though intermittent battles had been fought in the state in previous years, 1864 ushered in a violent new era for the Old Dominion. This phase of the war, in which the majority of Virginia's forces fought within their own state, significantly affected the cultural, political, and environmental landscapes of Virginia as soldiers and civilians alike struggled to cope with the prolonged warfare.Virginia at War, 1864 provides a snapshot into the civilian experience, introducing key home front issues such as transportation, communication, politics, education, patriotism, and early efforts at reconstruction. While previous volumes have emphasized military campaigns and battles, this collection focuses on the internal affairs affecting the civilians. Virginia's overtaxed transportation systems presented a major challenge as the state attempted to support both military operations and civilian life. Local journalists struggled to maintain morale and patriotism amid readership decline and supply shortages, while the demand for soldiers left schools without pupils and teachers. On the agricultural front, farmers tried to produce enough food to sustain both the military and the civilian population.The contributors explore the dynamics of a fully developed society in conflict, analyzing beyond the details of military strategy to investigate how the civilian population functioned under arduous circumstances. As in previous volumes, Virginia at War, 1864 concludes with an annotated excerpt from the Diary of a Southern Refugee by Richmond's Judith Brockenbrough McGuire.William C. Davis, director of programs at the Virginia Center for Civil War Studies, is the author or editor of more than fifty books, including The Pirates Laffite: The Treacherous World of the Corsairs of the Gulf.

Rhea's peerless treatment of the Civil War's clash of titans: Grant's Army of the Potomac versus Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. Inlaid with detail, innovative analysis, riveting prose, and an abundance of supporting primary evidence, it is a worthy sequel to Rhea's first, acclaimed work, The Battle of the Wilderness, May 5-6, 1864. Here Rhea examines the maneuvers and battles from May 7, 1864, when Grant left the Wilderness, through May 12, when his attempt to break Lee's line by frontal assault reached a chilling climax at what is now called the Bloody Angle. Rhea draws exhaustively upon previously untapped materials - most notably contemporary newspaper accounts and diaries and letters only recently made available - to construct the definitive account of Grant and Lee at Spotsylvania. Here for the first time is a detailed description of the cavalry's role in the campaign, from the grim fighting at Todd's Tavern through Philip Sheridan's Richmond raid and Jeb Stuart is mortal wounding at Yellow Tavern.

I warmly commend it to anyone with an interest in Calvin's Institutes, and the way it has been understood through the centuries."---Tony Lane, Gospel Coalition"While Gordon's book will contribute to scholarship on the Reformation in general, and Calvin and the Reformed tradition in particular, it will be particularly beneficial to students and non-specialists who are interested in Calvin but have never read his opus magnum in its entirety. Gordon's biography of the Institutes is a welcome addition to the scholarship and I highly recommend it."---Inseo Song, Reading Religion"Bruce Gordon's short book is worth reading. . . . As an introduction to the complex legacy of one of the magisterial Reformers, Gordon's book is an excellent place to begin."---Judith Maltby, Church Times"Eminent Reformation historian Gordon presents an exceptionally interesting and readable account of the life' of Calvin's great theological classic Institutes of the Christian Religion." (Choice)"While there have been scores of studies tracking the legacy of John Calvin and his theological vision in the history of Christianity and the western world, this new study of the Rezeptionsgeschichte of Calvin's magnum opus, The Institutes of the Christian Religion, is unique.

Due to the broad intellectual history it develops, this book would work quite well in the classroom as a secondary source on Calvin and Reformed theology for upper-level undergraduates and seminary students.

He also argues that the sacra doctrina at the heart of the Summa is best understood in relation to sapientia, or wisdom."---Alden Lee Bass, Englewood Review of Books"[E]xcellent and beautifully written. . . . There is a long and complicated story to tell here, one in which both friends and foes of Aquinas feature. But McGinn tells it very well while being brief and to the point, and he manages to do so without having a pro-Aquinas or an anti-Aquinas agenda. The result strikes me as a balanced and non-partisan account of considerable value."---Brian Davies, New Blackfriars"A welcome contribution to Princeton's highly regarded Lives of Great Religious Books series, Bernard McGinn's 'biography' of Thomas's masterwork is a deeply impressive book. Learned, judicious, elegant, a model of expositional economy and analytical clarity, it may be the best brief introduction to the production, structure and content, and reception of the Summa theologiae available in English."---Donald Wood, Religion and Theology"This biography succinctly covers a vast amount of ground, but it is always accessible and readable and often elegant. It would be an excellent introduction for any newcomer curious about Aquinas's reputation, and it is a handy survey for scholars of the field."---Philip L. Reynolds, Journal of Religion"A concise yet sweeping introduction to Aquinas's Summa Theologiae. The text successfully weds brevity of content with analytical depth."---Katherine Wrisley Shelby, Religious Studies Review"This book is a delight to read. It is genuinely extraordinary how much scholarship McGinn managed to distill into this book, which nonetheless remains utterly readable. McGinn has absorbed the best of research, pondered and expounded it, and contributed to it, in a book that must rank as one of the best introductions to Aquinas available."---Rik Van Nieuwenhove, Horizons"McGinn marvelously presents the context, content, and impact of the Summa theologiae without overwhelming the reader. The book reads delightfully and would be a wonderful introduction for anyone who is interested in, but perhaps intimidated by, Aquinas's massive work."---Rachel Erdman, Sewanee Theological Review"The Summa theologiae set a defining intellectual mark for the West. Bernard McGinn, in his elegant book, shows how Aquinas's transcendent work resonated through the centuries to remain a necessary measure of thought to this day."James Carroll, author of Warburg in Rome&quot;The Summa theologiae set a defining intellectual mark for the West. Bernard McGinn, in his elegant book, shows how Aquinas's transcendent work resonated through the centuries to remain a necessary measure of thought to this day.&quot;--James Carroll, author of Warburg in Rome&quot;In this wonderfully succinct and readable book, Bernard McGinn has packed extensive information on how theSumma was written, how it has been received over the centuries, and how we should make sense of it today. It is rare to find such a well-balanced and rounded picture of one of our greatest works of theology.&quot;--Oliver Davies, King's College London&quot;There is no better introduction to Aquinas, to his Summa, and to the history of his influence through the ages down to the present. McGinn's learned yet accessible book shows how Aquinas reflected the culture of his times yet rose above it to speak to future generations. By laying out the structure of the Summa and leading readers through its parts, McGinn eases them into one of the world's great theological classics.&quot;--John W. O'Malley, author ofTrent: What Happened at the Council&quot;An exceptional achievement. Against the backdrop of his magisterial scholarship--already on display in his multivolume history of mysticism--McGinn offers us both a theoretical and historical introduction to this masterpiece of Christian rationality as well as a balanced appreciation of Thomism.&quot;--Jean-Luc Marion, University of Chicago, Institut Catholique de Paris&quot;Extremely well written. McGinn brings together in concise form much recent work on Aquinas.

[T]hrough his expert presentation of lived experience, he has at last made the stories of the awakened as compelling as those of the awakeners.--Peter Manseau, in Journal of the American Academy of ReligionBy parsing the distinctive vocabularies and rich tropes that ordinary New Englanders devised to describe their tumult within, [Winiarski] lends freshness and immediacy to the familiar narrative of the Awakening.--Christine Heyrman, in Reviews in American HistoryThe scope of Winiarski's research is remarkable, far surpassing the work of other historians before him.--Southeastern Theological Review[T]he most compelling history of the Awakening in New England we have. . . . Nowhere else in studies of religious practice in early America is social behavior so thoroughly mapped. And nowhere else have vernacular descriptions of religious experience been so acutely analyzed.--David D. Hall, in Church History: Studies in Christianity and CultureA richly textured account of the daily rhythms of religious life in colonial New England over a century of awakening and tumult. Winiarski's account of Congregational hegemony and collapse in the fabled New England town is a masterful synthesis by a scholar especially attentive to the cadences of pietistic language and ritual.--Susan Juster, University of MichiganFor those who thought that little more could be done with colonial New England religious life, here comes Doug Winiarski to prove them, oh, so wrong. With a nose for manuscripts like no other, he has scoured the repositories, churches, and historical societies of the region for sources that delight and amaze, offering us new voices, the voices of the awakened. The results of his searches, presented with sensitivity and expert analysis, give us a truly innovative and fresh view of the transition, not so much from puritan to Yankee, but from puritanism to evangelicalism.--Kenneth P. Minkema, Jonathan Edwards Center, Yale UniversityFilled with fresh discoveries and attuned to the experiences of a fascinating cast of characters, Darkness Falls on the Land of Light offers a compelling narrative of religious revival and social discord in early New England. Beautifully written, cogently argued, and astonishingly researched, this is the most riveting book on America's eighteenth-century revivals to appear in decades.--Mark Valeri, Washington University in St. Louis; Title: Darkness Falls on the Land of Light: Experiencing Religious Awakenings in Eighteenth-Century New England (Published by the Omohundro Institute of ... and the University of North Carolina Press) Target text information: Description: "Winner of the 2013 Cover/Jacket Merit Award in the Professional, Scholarly Series category, New York Book Show""One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2013""To explain this book--now published in 150 million copies in 110 languages--Gutjahr recounts the life of Joseph Smith, whose status as the prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints rests upon his claim that he translated the Book of Mormon from ancient gold plates delivered to him by an angel. . . . Undeterred by skeptics' allegations of fraud, a small army of missionaries have made the book a powerful proselytizing tool . . . but as an engaging human story, it has also inspired the creative impulses of visual, cinematic, and theatrical artists. . . . A very helpful introduction to a perplexing but increasingly visible religious text."---Bryce Christensen, Booklist"[A] fascinating history of an important document of American culture."---Steven Poole, The Guardian"This is a book that has been waiting to be written. There have been previous accounts of the Book of Mormon by believers and nonbelievers, but most have been too polemical for general readers. Gutjahr (English, Indiana Univ.; Charles Hodge: Guardian of American Orthodoxy) doesn't ignore controversial issues of history and authenticity, as is the case with some other short introductions; rather, he provides several alternative interpretations of the book's origins. . . . Needless to say, especially with the tremendous success of the Broadway show The Book of Mormon, there is a great need for a book like this. It should appeal to scholars and interested general readers alike."---David S. Azzolina, Library Journal"America is experiencing something of a Mormon moment. . . . But much remains unknown about this faith, including the circumstances surrounding its primary sacred text. Paul C. Gutjahr's well-written and erudite account of the history of the Book of Mormon fills much of this void. . . . Gutjahr's account leaves one with considerable appreciation for the enduring value of the Book of Mormon."---Wade Clark Roof, Pacific Standard Magazine"Gutjahr has read widely in both Mormon and non-Mormon sources, and he has taken the trouble to get the basic facts right. . . . The Book of Mormon: A Biography is a quick read that Latter-day Saints will find enjoyable and thought-provoking. It would also be perfect for non-member friends who are curious about the Book of Mormon but are looking for something more neutral or balanced than materials published by the Church, yet are perhaps not quite interested enough to take on a thick monograph like By the Hand of Mormon or Understanding the Book of Mormon."---Grant Hardy, Meridian Magazine"[I]t's refreshing to read a nonpartisan book about Mormonism."---Justin Moyer, Washington Post Book World"Gutjahr's biography is an easy-to-read overview of the Book of Mormon's life, a reminder that the Book of Mormon is the world's text, not merely the text of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in spite of the Church's careful efforts (through copyright measures and other means) to maintain the text's integrity. And even within the LDS tradition itself, the book shapeshifts as it traverses landscapes of differing historical contexts and rhetorical objectives. Such is the life of books, such is the life Gutjahr ably recounts."---Blair Hodges, Dialogue"Book of Mormon: A Biography takes readers on a quick journey through Mormon history from past to present focused on the Book of Mormon. The topics covered include Joseph Smith, the translation of the Book of Mormon, how the book was used in early church history, the death of Joseph Smith, the church's move to Utah, missionary work, further growth of the church, and the influence of the Book of Mormon on movies, music, theater, art and culture."---Ryan Morgenegg, Deseret News"Paul Gutjahr has written the perfect book on the Book of Mormon: fascinating, forthright, empathetic, critical, and discerning. Gutjahr employs his sheer intellectual curiosity to produce a lively, enlightening history that deftly circles among Joseph Smith, Mormons, and critics as though they were themselves engaged in an intelligent civil conversation. The result is an ideal guide to the life of a now-iconic American religious text."--Jon Butler, Yale University"There can be no doubt that the Book of Mormon is among the most influential books in American history. Gutjahr's clear, compelling narrative traces this influence from the book's American beginnings through translations, migrations, and cultural adaptations into its global twenty-first century. Gutjahr treats his subject with respect, thoughtfulness, appreciation, scholarly rigor, and intellectual curiosity. Mormons and non-Mormons alike will find his book fascinating, freshly informative, and a pleasure to read."--Joanna Brooks, author of The Book of Mormon Girl"With impressive command of detail rendered in lucid, accessible prose, Paul Gutjahr has produced a marvelously informative account of theBook of Mormon from its origins to the present. This is a very useful book for understanding American religious history."--Randall Balmer, author ofThe Making of Evangelicalism: From Revivalism to Politics and Beyond"This probing and engaging study surveys the history, use, translation, and adaptation into other media of theBook of Mormon. I know of nothing else quite like it. Religious traditions change over time, and controlling a sacred text plays an important role in the self-identity of the community. Gutjahr explains not simply how changes in the text took place, but why."--Laurie F. Maffly-Kipp, editor of American Scriptures: An Anthology of Sacred Writings"Paul Gutjahr's book offers a well-written, balanced summary of much of the scholarship on theBook of Mormon, and presents new insights and lesser-known information as well."--Richard Lyman Bushman, author ofJoseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling; Title: The Book of Mormon: A Biography (Lives of Great Religious Books) I provide the content of the target node and its neighbors' information.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Web Log Data Warehousing and Mining for Intelligent Web Caching We introduce intelligent web caching algorithms that employ predictive models of web requests; the general idea is to extend the LRU policy of web and proxy servers by making it sensible to web access models extracted from web log data using data mining techniques. Two approaches have been studied in particular, frequent patterns and decision trees. The experimental results of the new algorithms show substantial improvement over existing LRU-based caching techniques, in terms of hit rate. We designed and developed a prototypical system, which supports data warehousing of web log data, extraction of data mining models and simulation of the web caching algorithms. 1-hop neighbor's text information: Discovering And Mining User Web-Page Traversal Patterns As the popularity of WWW explodes, a massive amount of data is gathered by Web servers in the form of Web access logs. This is a rich source of information for understanding Web user surfing behavior. Web Usage Mining, also known as Web Log Mining, is an application of data mining algorithms to Web access logs to find trends and regularities in Web users' traversal patterns. The results of Web Usage Mining have been used in improving Web site design, business and marketing decision support, user profiling, and Web server system performance. In this thesis we study the application of assisted exploration of OLAP data cubes and scalable sequential pattern mining algorithms to Web log analysis. In multidimensional OLAP analysis, standard statistical measures are applied to assist the user at each step to explore the interesting parts of the cube. In addition, a scalable sequential pattern mining algorithm is developed to discover commonly traversed paths in large data sets. Our experimental and performance studies have demonstrated the effectiveness and efficiency of the algorithm in comparison to previously developed sequential pattern mining algorithms. In conclusion, some further research avenues in web usage mining are identified as well. iv Dedication To my parents v Acknowledgments I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Jiawei Han for his support, sharing of his knowledge and the opportunities that he gave me.

At the end of World War II, Vannevar urged scientists to build such a knowledge store and make it useful, continuously extendable and more importantly, accessible for consultation. Today, the closest to the materialization of Vannevar's dream is the World-Wide Web hypertext and multimedia document collection. However, the ease of use and accessibility of the knowledge described by Vannevar is yet to be realized. Since the 60s, extensive research has been accomplished in the information retrieval field, and free-text search was finally adopted by many text repository systems in the late 80s. The advent of the World-Wide Web in the 90s helped text search become routine as millions of users use search engines daily to pinpoint resources on the Internet. However, r... Target text information: Discovering Web Access Patterns and Trends by Applying OLAP and Data Mining Technology on Web Logs As a confluence of data mining and WWW technologies, it is now possible to perform data mining on web log records collected from the Internet web page access history. The behaviour of the web page readers is imprinted in the web server log files. Analyzing and exploring regularities in this behaviour can improve system performance, enhance the quality and delivery of Internet information services to the end user, and identify population of potential customers for electronic commerce. Thus, by observing people using collections of data, data mining can bring considerable contribution to digital library designers. In a joint effort between the TeleLearning-NCE project on Virtual University and NCE-IRIS project on data mining, we have been developing the knowledge discovery tool, WebLogMiner, for mining web server log files. This paper presents the design of the WebLogMiner, reports the current progress, and outlines the future work in this direction.

I am an archaeologist, and I play one on TV, as a talking head in various documentaries on the National Geographic Channel, the Discovery Channel, the History Channel, ScFi, BBC Horizon, and, as it turns out, even the Weather Channel. Having conducted research and written extensively over the course of the last thirty years, I think I have developed a good eye for recognizing valuable research that is worthy of serious consideration when I see it. And the research conducted by D.M. Murdock concerning the myth of Jesus Christ is certainly both valuable and worthy of consideration.Everyone who reads Murdock's Christ in Egypt should understand that the sources she cites are anything but marginal or questionable. In fact, her sources are, at least as far as I can tell, entirely within the Egyptology mainstream and many are, in fact, revered, and deservedly so, within the community of Egyptologists. The fact that these sources are mainstream, highly respected, or even seminal does not, of course, make them right about the origins of the Christ story. However, it does make them, and Murdock's thesis in which she incorporates their work, impossible to dismiss out of hand.Read her book. Criticize it if you believe it deserves criticism. But to dismiss it or get apoplectic about her thesis simply because it shocks you is plainly foolish. --Kenneth L. Feder, PhD, Frauds, Myths and MysteriesI find myself in full agreement with Acharya S/D.M. Murdock.We are in agreement on the thoroughly syncretic character of primitive Christianity, evolving from earlier mythemes and rituals, especially those of Egypt. It is almost as important in Christ in Egypt to argue for an astro-religious origin for the mythemes, and there, too, I agree with the learned author.I find it undeniable that...many, many of the epic heroes and ancient patriarchs and matriarchs of the Old Testament were personified stars, planets, and constellations....for Egyptian influence to have become integral to Israelite religion even from pre-biblical times is only natural given the fact that from 3000 BCE Egypt ruled Canaan. We are not talking about some far-fetched borrowing from an alien cultural sphere.Murdock ventures that "the creators of the Christ myth did not simply take an already formed story, scratch out the name Osiris or Horus, and replace it with Jesus" (p. 25). But I am pretty much ready to go the whole way and suggest that Jesus is simply Osiris going under a new name, Jesus, "Savior," hitherto an epithet, but made into a name on Jewish soil.I find myself in full agreement with Acharya S/D.M. Murdock: "we assert that Christianity constitutes Gnosticism historicized and Judaized, likewise representing a synthesis of Egyptian, Jewish and Greek religion and mythology, among others [including Buddhism, via King Asoka's missionaries] from around the 'known world'" (p. 278). "Christianity is largely the product of Egyptian religion being Judaized and historicized" (p. 482). --Robert M. Price, PhD, The Pre-Nicene New TestamentD.M. Murdock, also known as "Acharya S," is an independent scholar of comparative religion and mythology, specializing in the ancient astrotheological origins of popular religious systems and beliefs. Her work can be found on her websites TruthBeKnown.com, StellarHousePublishing.com and FreethoughtNation.com.

The revelations in this new, revised edition of Secret Chamber expose the quite astonishing goings-on at Giza since former Minister of Antiquities Zahi Hawass began his rise to power within the Egyptian Antiquities Service. This book is an incredible read, uncovering clandestine operations at the Sphinx and inside the Great Pyramid--a story of potential corruption and ongoing international scandal on a massive scale. You couldnt make it up it is so bizarre, yet the evidence is laid out in every detail for all to see! (David Rohl, English Egyptologist and author of Pharaohs and Kings)Secret Chamber Revisited is a true inspiration offering real clues in the search for Gizas lost Hall of Records. (Andrew Collins, author of Gbekli Tepe: Genesis of the Gods)Search for a hidden secret chamber in the Great Pyramid started in the 19th century, but nothing was found. However, hope was revived when on March 22, 1993, a German team sent a robot into a shaft of the Queens Chamber, which revealed a mysterious door embossed with two copper handles. Robert Bauval, in his fascinating book, is reviving interest in the secret chamber, which could contain the Holy Grail of Egyptian civilization. (Ahmed Osman, scholar, historian, and author of The Lost City of Exodus)Todays paradigm shift began more than twenty years ago. A small group of scholars and researchers pointed out compelling evidence of a lost civilization great in antiquity. Robert Bauval was one of those researchers, and in Secret Chamber Revisited he tells a fascinating behind-the-scenes story of politics and intrigue in the quest to discover Atlantiss Great Hall of Records that legend claims to be located beneath the paws of the Sphinx.

Based on extensive first-person interviews by an established expert on Plains Indian women, Walking in the Sacred Manner is a singular and authentic record of the participation of women in the sacred traditions of Northern Plains tribes, including Lakota, Cheyenne, Crow, and Assiniboine. Through interviews with holy women and the families of women healers, Mark St. Pierre and Tilda Long Soldier paint a rich and varied portrait of a society and its traditions. Stereotypical images of the Native American drop away as the voices, dreams, and experiences of these women (both healers and healed) present insight into a culture about which little is known. It is a journey into the past, an exploration of the present, and a view full of hope for the future.Mark St. Pierre is the author of Madonna Swan: A Lakota Woman's Story.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Fast Reinforcement Learning through Eugenic Neuro-Evolution In this paper we introduce EuSANE, a novel reinforcement learning algorithm based on the SANE neuroevolution method. It uses a global search algorithm, the Eugenic Algorithm, to optimize the selection of neurons to the hidden layer of SANE networks. The performance of EuSANE is evaluated in the two-pole balancing benchmark task, showing that EuSANE is significantly stronger than other reinforcement learning methods to date in this task. 1-hop neighbor's text information: Will We Have a Wet Summer? Soft Computing Models for Long-term Rainfall Forecasting Long-term rainfall prediction is very important to countries thriving on agro-based economy. In general, climate and rainfall are highly non-linear phenomena in nature giving rise to what is known as "butterfly effect". The parameters that are required to predict the rainfall are enormously complex and subtle so that uncertainty in a prediction using all these parameters is enormous even for a short period. Soft computing is an innovative approach to construct computationally intelligent systems that are supposed to possess humanlike expertise within a specific domain, adapt themselves and learn to do better in changing environments, and explain how they make decisions. Unlike conventional artificial intelligence techniques the guiding principle of soft computing is to exploit tolerance for imprecision, uncertainty, robustness, partial truth to achieve tractability, and better rapport with reality (Zadeh 1998). In this paper, we analysed 87 years of rainfall data in Kerala state, the southern part of Indian Peninsula situated at latitude-longitude pairs (8029 ' N - 76057 ' E). We attempted to train 5 soft computing based prediction models with 40 years of rainfall data. For performance evaluation, network predicted outputs were compared with the actual rainfall data. Simulation results reveal that soft computing techniques are promising and efficient. Target text information: Optimal Design of Neural Nets Using Hybrid Algorithms Selection of the topology of a network and correct parameters for the learning algorithm is a tedious task for designing an optimal Artificial Neural Network (ANN), which is smaller, faster and with a better generalization performance. Genetic algorithm (GA) is an adaptive search technique based on the principles and mechanisms of natural selection and survival of the fittest from natural evolution. Simulated annealing (SA) is a global optimization algorithm that can process cost functions possessing quite arbitrary degrees of nonlinearities, discontinuities and stochasticity but statistically assuring a optimal solution. In this paper we explain how a hybrid algorithm integrating the desirable aspects of GA and SA can be applied for the optimal design of an ANN. This paper is more concerned with the understanding of current theoretical developments of Evolutionary Artificial Neural Networks (EANNs) using GAs and other heuristic procedures and how the proposed hybrid and other heuristic procedures can be combined to produce an optimal ANN.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Jonathan Law is an editor at Market House Books Ltd, compilers of dictionaries.; Title: A Dictionary of World History (Oxford Quick Reference) 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: "... a seamless interplay of art and text." -- The Orange County Register"Highly recommended for general readers and academic libraries" -- Multicultural ReviewJohn Bowker is a priest and religious studies scholar. His published works include God: A Brief History, The Oxford Dictionary of World Religions, Why Religions Matter, and The Sacred Neuron: The Extraordinary New Discoveries Linking Science and Religion. He studied at Oxford University and has taught at University of Pennsylvania and North Carolina State University.; Title: World Religions: The Great Faiths Explored and Explained 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Grade 10 Up-Culled from the Oxford Classical Dictionary, third edition (2003), these entries cover the whole of spiritual life in the ancient Mediterranean, from Minoan-Mycenaean religion through Near Eastern Judaisms [sic] and early Christianities [sic]. The compact introductory essay on mythology, pluralism, and reception of myths is a model of comprehensiveness and clarity. Most entries cover personalities (gods, heroes, authors, historical figures), but several of them offer concise summaries of related topics: religious architecture, funerary art, apocalyptic literature, places and rituals, organizations, and calendars. Entries on several dozen concepts (e.g., fasting, deformity, theodicy, pollution, the body, hubris) are fascinating. However, there is no entry for "Underworld." References to substantial retellings in ancient texts (e.g., Sophocles, Homer) follow relevant entries. Cross-references are easily identified. Pronunciation help, alas, is omitted. A brief annotated bibliography, thematic index, six genealogies, and three detailed maps greatly add to the volume's utility. Longer than Mike Dixon-Kennedy's Encyclopedia of Greco-Roman Mythology (ABC-CLIO, 1998), which does not include religion, this book emphasizes historical connections. It devotes a half page to Xenophanes, for instance, who does not appear in Kennedy's volume, but omits Encyclopedia's"Xanthus." The specialized nature of the dictionary makes it essential for only a few collections. Nevertheless, it is an excellent addition to the series.-Patricia D. Lothrop, St. George's School, Newport, RI Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.The content of this encyclopedia is a selection of entries from the third edition of The Oxford Classical Dictionary (3d ed., 1996). The entries are broad in range, covering not just mythology but also "religious places and religious officials, divination, astrology, and magic." In addition, there are many entries on Judaism and Christianity, providing broader context to religious life in the Greco-Roman world.Although entries have been taken from The Oxford Classical Dictionary, changes have been made. Some entries have been shortened. Untransliterated Greek, references to ancient texts within the body of an entry, and what the editors term obscure language have been deleted. Supplemental bibliographies have also been eliminated, although entries for individuals (e.g., Hecuba, poseidon) often conclude with some references to their appearance in ancient texts by such authors as Homer, Hesiod, and Livy. The work also includes a short annotated bibliography to serve as a guide for further reading. An introductory essay describes local, Panhellenic, and Roman myths and their reception throughout history. A thematic index groups entries by broad subject area (e.g., "Gods and Heroes," "Places"), and there are see references throughout the work. A few maps serve as the only illustrations.Libraries owning The Oxford Classical Dictionary will not gain much by purchasing The Oxford Dictionary of Classical Myth and Religion. The elimination of much of the scholarly content may diminish its usefulness to academic collections. On the other hand, some public and high-school libraries may find the work more accessible and thus of greater benefit. In this case, consideration ought to be given first to the Cassell Dictionary of Classical Mythology (1998). Although its scope is somewhat narrower, the entries are thorough, scholarly, and accessibly written; there are many illustrations; and the scholarly apparatus of references to ancient texts and other supplemental material is unobtrusively included for those wishing to pursue their research further. RBBCopyright American Library Association. All rights reserved; Title: The Oxford Dictionary of Classical Myth and Religion Target text information: Description: Bowker (divinity, Gresham Coll., London) has produced two very different books, though both are focused on world religion. The Oxford Dictionary, whose entries often lack information on etymology and pronunciation, is actually a one-volume desktop encyclopedia for ready reference. Combining brevity of exposition with a massive number of entries in an attempt to be dictionary-like, the work suffers from trying to be comprehensive in breadth of coverage instead of depth. The psychology of religion is discussed in a half-page, for instance, and the Church Fathers get only two sentences. In addition, the entries are uneven in quality; one has the feeling that the 80 contributors are each writing according to his or her own personal interests and styles. Despite these idiosyncracies, the work is a solid reference source for people who want to know only the barest of facts about any religious topic. In World Religions, on the other hand, one has the feeling that Bowker, now the author, is finally freed to range over what he wants to say and how he wants to say it. This book is a bold attempt to meld religious information with expressive art and to use the art as a tool for pedagogy. Each religion is represented by a few brilliantly illustrated icons, paintings, or sculptures, which the author painstakingly annotates to illuminate their theologies and deepen one's insight. Whether he is using Michelangelo's Final Judgment to explain Christian eschatology or a handscroll of Chou Ch'en to explain Taoist concepts of immortality, the emphasis upon the visual makes these religions vibrant and intriguing. There are surprising discrepancies between the two works. World Religions has generous discussions of the ancient Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Norse, and Celtic religions, topics not even included in the Oxford Dictionary. There are also variations of names. Ultimately, World Religions is the more commendable publication, though both books are recommended for most libraries.?Glenn Masuchika, Chaminade Univ. Lib., HonoluluCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.Learning about the world's many spiritual traditions can be a challenge. This title, designed "to provide initial bearings," is an excellent place to start. With an introductory essay on the meaning of religion by editor Bowker, a professor of religion, and more than 8,200 alphabetical entries on a wide range of subjects, it offers an overview of concepts from world religions as well as movements, sects, and cults. There are no illustrations, but Bowker recently completed World Religions (DK, 1997), a profusely illustrated volume that is a good companion to this work.The entries include broad topics such as prayer and cosmology; specific religions; historical events such as the Reformation and the Crusades; sacred texts; individuals; doctrines; sacred sites; customs; and ethics. Asterisks designate cross-references to terms with their own entries. See and see also references refer users to related material. Many entries have bibliographic citations to books on the subject for further research. Terms in language with non-Roman alphabets are transliterated. There is a special index of Chinese headwords with a Wade-Giles/Pinyin conversion table. A topic index directs readers to entry headings on broad subject areas so that someone interested in dietary laws and customs could look under Food and find entries for Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Shinto, Sikh, Taoist, and Zen regimens.A comparable source is The HarperCollins Dictionary of Religion [RBB Ap 15 96], which has 3,200 articles. This is far fewer than the Oxford work, but HarperCollins devotes significant space to comprehensive feature articles on major religions--32 pages on Buddhism, for example. It also covers extinct religions, such as those of ancient Greece and Rome, which are not included in the Oxford dictionary. In general, the HarperCollins dictionary has more coverage of religions, while the Oxford dictionary provides more coverage of concepts, people, events, and so on. For example, HarperCollins has several pages on Afro-Brazilian religions, while Oxford has a single paragraph. HarperCollins has six pages on Native American religions, which is not an entry in the Oxford dictionary. On the other hand, Oxford has nearly four pages on the Reformation, compared to one page in HarperCollins; over a column on John Calvin, compared to six lines in HarperCollins; a column on evil, compared to three lines in HarperCollins. The HarperCollins dictionary has no bibliographies, although sources are cited within the text. It does, however, have some illustrations, as well as maps, tables, and timelines.Whether one is searching for the text of the Shema (the Jewish confession of faith) or information about Rastafarians, Oxford Dictionary of World Religions is a useful source. Although naturally less complete than Mircea Eliade's Encyclopedia of Religion [RBB O 1 87], it does provide a reasonably priced, very good introduction to a diverse subject area. Recommended for high-school, public, and academic libraries, especially those that do not already own the HarperCollins dictionary. ; Title: The Oxford Dictionary of World Religions I provide the content of the target node and its neighbors' information.

It looks at the history of international negotiation, both explicit and by maneuver, in the presence of nuclear weapons and concludes that disparities in nuclear armaments - including zero on one side - make much less difference than they are given credit for. If the argument doesn't persuade you, the forty case studies of nuclear weapons in crisis bargaining (eleven involving the United States) will make you think it over.' Thomas C. Schelling, Winner of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences'Todd S. Sechser and Matthew Fuhrmann make a compelling case that, during the Cold War, nuclear weapons played a critically important role in deterring a nuclear attack on the US; but, importantly, they argue that this was the only role they played. They did not deter the many other security crises we had to deal with, including the Berlin crisis, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. And they argue that this historical fact has great significance to today's security issues. This book is an important read, not only for its clear articulation of history, but for its relevance to planning nuclear forces or nuclear policy today.' William J. Perry, former United States Secretary of Defense'This is the most important study on nuclear compellence since Richard Betts published his landmark book in 1987. In fact, Sechser and Fuhrmann have likely written the definitive study on why nuclear compellence has not worked and cannot work.' Robert J. Art, Christian A. Herter Professor of International Relations, Brandeis University,Massachusetts'Scholars and policymakers have long debated whether obtaining nuclear weapons would allow powerful states to bully or blackmail weaker adversaries, but previous efforts to address this question have lacked both strong logical foundations and systematic empirical evidence. In this rigorous and clearly written study, Todd S. Sechser and Matthew Fuhrmann explain why nuclear superiority confers far less leverage than hardliners typically believe. It is a model of policy-relevant social science that deserves a wide audience.' Stephen M. Walt, Robert and Renee Belfer Professor of International Affairs, Harvard University, Massachusetts'How do nuclear weapons shape international politics? Does the possession of nuclear weapons provide states with coercive advantages during a crisis? Many scholars and policy makers assume that they do. In their well-researched, crisply argued book, Todd S. Sechser and Matthew Fuhrmann rely on both historical and quantitative approaches to develop their theory of nuclear skepticism. Nuclear weapons, they argue, remain powerful tools for deterrence but contribute little to successful coercive diplomacy. This is an important book: Sechser and Fuhrmann's arguments have potentially significant consequences for both our understanding of nuclear dynamics and the practice of nuclear statecraft, and deserve great attention and debate.'

It will provide an invaluable source for a revisionist/materialist interpretation of the Cold War." - Robert Buzzanco, author of Masters of War and Vietnam and the Transformation of American Life"Curt Cardwell demonstrates that political economy is not a lost art. In this meticulously researched and comprehensive account of the place of NSC 68 in the early Cold War, Cardwell lays out the economic imperatives facing the Truman administration and the role rearmament played in postwar recovery.

Young, Professor, Department of History, New York University"Curt Cardwell has written an important, perceptive, and analytically powerful book that adds a new dimension to existing understanding of the transformation of the United States after World War II into a national security state. His impressive research substantiates a provocative main thesis that U.S. leaders prosecuted the Cold War more to preserve a liberal economic world order than to contain the Soviet Union. Cardwell exposes the previously overlooked centrality of the dollar gap as a motivating factor guiding postwar U.S. policy, providing an important corrective, especially to existing accounts that exaggerate the success of the Marshall Plan." - James I. Matray, California State University, Chico"Today's overwhelming U.S. military budget had its roots in 1949-1950, whereas the famous (if long-secret) NSC 68 strategy paper of 1950 shaped American plans to the end of the Cold War - and after. Curt Cardwell has written the definitive study of these crucial pivots in American history by giving this book two special qualities: a mastery of the records revealing what triggered these U.S. policies, and a beautifully done dissection of the all-important economic causes that shaped - and misshaped - this historic turn and, consequently, the more than 60 years that have followed." - Walter LaFeber, Cornell University, author of America, Russia, and the Cold War, 1945-2006, and The American Age: U.S. Foreign Relations at Home and Abroad since 1750Cardwell's book argues that NSC 68 grew out of US concerns not with a growing Soviet menace but with the prospect that Western Europe would face a serious payments deficit with the dollar area when the Marshall Plan ended in 1952." -John L. Harper, SurvivalNSC 68 and the Political Economy of the Early Cold War reexamines the origins and implementation of NSC 68, the massive rearmament program that the United States embarked upon beginning in the summer of 1950.

Now, through the talented hand of Eric Wittenberg in his new exemplary book, a new generation of readers will meet the real Buford as history knew hima brilliant cavalry tactician and inspirational leader whose star reached its zenith at Gettysburg before an untimely illness struck him down just as opportunity for advancement to senior command beckoned. This wonderfully written and deeply researched study stands as a tribute even a gruff Old Army veteran like Buford would have admired." (Scott L.

In The Devils to Pay: John Buford at Gettysburg, Wittenberg tackles one of Gettysburgs most iconic and revered leaders. Wittenbergs narrative encompasses every aspect of Bufords Gettysburg performance and readers will leave with a much better appreciation of John Buford and the cavalrymen who served under him. (James A. Hessler, author of Sickles at Gettysburg (2009) and co-author of Picketts Charge at Gettysburg (2015))Few books on Gettysburg spill much ink on the role played by General John Buford and his troopers during the opening hours of the battle, and even less regarding their participation during the rest of the first day or thereafter. Wittenbergs new master work details, for the first time, Bufords crucial roll and how he and his cavalrymen impacted the course of the battle. It is a scholarly, yet eminently readable book that is decades overdue. (J. David Petruzzi, author of The Complete Gettysburg Guide)No figure is more central to the Battle of Gettysburg than Union cavalryman John Buford. More than any other commanders decision, Bufords determination to stand and fight on July 1 precipitated all the combat that followed. Award-winning author Eric Wittenberg, noted for his excellent work on cavalry in general and Gettysburg in particular, offers a detailed examination of Bufords role in clear, well-ordered prose. The Devils to Pay is another must-have book on any Gettysburg shelf. (David A.

Frank Varney builds a convincing case that William Rosecrans has been treated unfairly by historians and, perhaps more significantly, that Ulysses S. Grant deliberately destroyed his reputation and the reputations of other Civil War generals." (Civil War News)"An invaluable addition to Civil War Studies and reference shelves . . . and a sharp caution against putting too much blind faith in any one person's testimony, memoir, or historical accounting. Highly Recommended." (Midwest Book Review)I dropped everything and plunged into this book. Every page I read presented challenges to accepted views, including my own. General Grant and the Rewriting of History represents considerable ingenuity and independence of thought. (John Y. Simon, editor of the Grant Papers)Frank Varney earned his Ph.D. at Cornell University. He regularly leads student groups to Civil War battlefields and makes frequent speaking appearances before Civil War Roundtables and historical societies. Professor Varney is currently developing a course to be taught on-site at Gettysburg, and will do the same for a course on Chickamauga. He teaches U.S. and classical history at Dickinson State University of North Dakota, where he is also the director of the Theodore Roosevelt Honors Leadership Program. This is his first book.; Title: General Grant and the Rewriting of History: How the Destruction of General William S.

1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: Text: English (translation) Original Language: German; Title: The crucified God: The cross of Christ as the foundation and criticism of Christian theology 1-hop neighbor's text information: Description: The interplay between the American Catholic Church and the United States has long been a source of tension for both church and state. McGreevy, an associate professor of history at the University of Notre Dame, examines the relationship between the two, beginning with the Eliot School Rebellion in Boston in 1859 and extending into the present day, when questions about abortion and human life dominate the church's engagement with American political life. The author begins by exploring efforts by some Catholics to counter the Protestant brand of Christianity being taught in the nation's public schools in the antebellum period, pointing out the sharp division that existed between Protestants and Catholics in the 19th century. He also discusses how Catholics dealt with slavery, then presents the church's stands on behalf of human life, most notably concerning abortion, a debate preceded and affected by an earlier battle over birth control. McGreevy's final chapter combines a discussion of the proposed "consistent life ethic" linking abortion, poverty, the arms race and the death penalty with a sparse treatment of the church's recent sexual abuse crisis. The author sees the scandal as further evidence of a fragile institution trying to distinguish "permanent truths from contingent applications." McGreevy's work is largely academic, and is presented in such a way that it will be of more interest to scholarly readers than ordinary Catholics. Still, it should be a valuable resource for students of modern church history. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.As the largest American religious denomination, Catholicism has directly and indirectly influenced intellectual and cultural life in this country. Though significant connections between Catholic ideals and American politics have been largely ignored by historians scrupulously separating church and state issues, there has nevertheless been considerable "interplay between Catholic and American ideas of freedom." McGreevy traces the evolution of this relationship from the mid-nineteenth century--when the tidal wave of Catholic European immigrants drastically altered the religious balance in the U.S.--to the present day. Controversial topics impacted by American Catholic thought and action include education, slavery, nationalism, social welfare policy, democracy, abortion, and sexual abuse. This thought-provoking combination of religious and social history provides a unique slant on the sizable role Catholicism has played upon the American stage.
