2019 | ISBN: 9462984956 | English | 320 pages | PDF | 13 MB
The green mantle of the earth! This metaphor is a poetic image that borrows from the vocabulary of weaving and epitomizes the Renaissance interest in "fashioning green worlds" in art and poetry. Here it serves as a motto for a cultural poetics that made representing living nature increasingly popular across Italy in the Early Modern period. The explosion of landscape art in this era is often associated with the rise of interest in the literary pastoral, narrowly defined, but this volume expands that understanding to show Green's broad appeal as it intrigued audiences ranging from the ecclesiastic to the medical and scientific to the humanistic and courtly. The essays gathered here explore the expanding technologies and varied cultural dimensions of verzure and verdancy in the Italian Renaissance, and thus the role of visual art in shaping the poetics and expression of greenery in the arts of the 16th-century and beyond.

Green Software Defined Radios: Enabling seamless connectivity while saving on hardware and energy By Liesbet Van der Perre, Jan Craninckx, Antoine Dejonghe
2008 | 161 Pages | ISBN: 140208210X | PDF | 17 MB
The increasing need for functional flexibility (the number of wireless standards is large and expected to grow) and the exploding cost of system-on-chip design will make implementation of wireless standards on reconfigurable radios the only viable option in the future. Software Defined Radios (SDRs) will offer higher flexibility at lower cost. Moreover, they are key enablers in the realization of cognitive radios, which will enable more efficient use of network and spectral resources. Green SDRs will be essential, to save on crucial and scarce resources: energy and spectrum. ''Green Software Defined Radios'' gives insight in the trends asking for green SDRs.

Gods and Humans in the Ancient Near East by Tyson L. Putthoff
2020 | ISBN: 1108490549 | English | 269 pages | PDF | 3 MB
In this book, Tyson Putthoff explores the relationship between gods and humans, and between divine nature and human nature, in the Ancient Near East. In this world, gods lived among humans. The two groups shared the world with one another, each playing a special role in maintaining order in the cosmos. Humans also shared aspects of a godlike nature. Even in their natural condition, humans enjoyed a taste of the divine state. Indeed, gods not only lived among humans, but also they lived inside them, taking up residence in the physical body. As such, human nature was actually a composite of humanity and divinity. Putthoff offers new insights into the ancients' understanding of humanity's relationship with the gods, providing a comparative study of this phenomenon from the third millennium BCE to the first century CE.

In this book, Lisa Morton uses her scholarly prowess-more powerful than any proton pack-to wrangle together history's most enduring ghosts into an entertaining and comprehensive look at what otherwise seems to always evade our eyes.
