The Roman Empire at Bay: AD 180-395 By David S. Potter
2004 | 785 Pages | ISBN: 0415100585 | PDF | 5 MB
A striking achievement of historical synthesis combined with a compelling interpretative line, The Roman Empire at Bay enables students of all periods to understand the dynamics of great imperial powers. David Potter's comprehensive survey of two critical and eventful centuries traces the course of imperial decline, skillfully weaving together cultural, intellectual and political history. Particular attention is paid throughout to the structures of government, the rise of Persia as a rival, and the diverse intellectual movements in the empire. There is also a strong focus on Christianity, transformed in this period from a fringe sect to the leading religion. Against this detailed background, Professor Potter argues that the loss of power can mainly be attributed to the failure in the imperial elite to respond to changes inside and outside the empire, and to internal struggles for control between different elements in the government, resulting in an inefficient centralization of power at court.

The Poet and the Antiquaries: Chaucerian Scholarship and the Rise of Literary History, 1532-1635 by Megan L. Cook
English | April 12, 2019 | ISBN: 0812250826 | EPUB | 288 pages | 8 MB
Between 1532 and 1602, the works of Geoffrey Chaucer were published in no less than six folio editions. These were, in fact, the largest books of poetry produced in sixteenth-century England, and they significantly shaped the perceptions of Chaucer that would hold sway for centuries to come. But it is the stories behind these editions that are the focus of Megan L. Cook's interest in The Poet and the Antiquaries. She explores how antiquarians-historians, lexicographers, religious polemicists, and other readers with a professional, but not necessarily literary, interest in the English past-played an indispensable role in making Chaucer a figure of lasting literary and cultural importance.

The Importance of Being Fuzzy by Arturo Sangalli
English | ISBN: 0691001448 | 200 pages | PDF | November 2, 1998 | 3.01 Mb
How has computer science changed mathematical thinking? In this first ever comprehensive survey of the subject for popular science readers, Arturo Sangalli explains how computers have brought a new practicality to mathematics and mathematical applications. By using fuzzy logic and related concepts, programmers have been able to sidestep the traditional and often cumbersome search for perfect mathematical solutions to embrace instead solutions that are "good enough." If mathematicians want their work to be relevant to the problems of the modern world, Sangalli shows, they must increasingly recognize "the importance of being fuzzy."
