The much-anticipated anthology on Plato'sTimaeus-Plato's singular dialogue on the creation of the universe, the nature of the physical world, and the place of persons in the cosmos-examining all dimensions of one of the most important books in Western Civilization: its philosophy, cosmology, science, and ethics, its literary aspects and reception. Contributions come from leading scholars in their respective fields, including Sir Anthony Leggett, 2003 Nobel Laureate for Physics. Parts of or earlier versions of these papers were first presented at the Timaeus Conference, held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in September of 2007.

On Language, Democracy, and Social Justice: Noam Chomsky's Critical Intervention- Foreword by Peter McLaren- Afterword by Pepi Leistyna (Counterpoints) By Pierre W. Orelus, Noam Chomsky
2014 | 174 Pages | ISBN: 1433124483 | PDF | 3 MB
Every century has witnessed the birth of a few world-transcending intellectuals as well as talented emerging scholars. Noam Chomsky and Pierre W. Orelus are no exception. Using dialogues exchanged over the course of nine years, combined with heartfelt critical essays, Chomsky and Orelus analytically examine social justice issues, such as unbalanced relationships between dominant and subjugated languages, democratic schooling, neoliberalism, colonization, and the harmful effect of Western globalization on developing countries, particularly on the poor living in those countries. On Language, Democracy, and Social Justice offers a unique perspective on these issues. Educators and scholar-activists interested in challenging the long-standing status quo to inspire transformative social, educational, and political change must read this book.

Old Borders, New Technologies: Reframing Film and Visual Culture in Contemporary Northern Ireland By Paula Blair
2014 | 271 Pages | ISBN: 3034309457 | PDF | 6 MB
Northern Ireland is now generally regarded to be a post-conflict region since the official end to three decades of violence in 1998. However, given some of the stipulations of the Good Friday Belfast Agreement, including the early release of politically motivated prisoners from jail, society in Northern Ireland remains in a state of flux, uncertainty and disagreement. This book presents four thematic studies revolving around the issues of imprisonment, surveillance, traumatic recall and myth-making in Northern Ireland. These studies examine the different ways in which artists and filmmakers are experimenting with film aesthetics and new media technologies to represent, re-present and invite engagement with the underlying anxieties that continue to trouble post-Agreement society. In doing so, the author argues for a reassessment of the critical analysis of film's convergence with other forms of visual art. Ultimately, the volume assesses the usefulness of such an approach in examining how artists and filmmakers experiment with diverse forms that open up space for discussion of the hidden and marginalized concerns in Northern Ireland's new, 'shared' society. This book was the winner of the 2012 Peter Lang Young Scholars Competition in Film Studies.

Of Empire and the City: Remapping Early British Cinema (New Studies in European Cinema) By Maurizio Cinquegrani
2014 | 311 Pages | ISBN: 303430823X | PDF | 2 MB
This book explores the cinematic representation of the city in British film from 1895 to 1914, featuring depictions of London, Glasgow, Dublin, Delhi and other British colonial cities. The author argues that the films are not only an invaluable record of the economic, social and cultural life of these cities but also that the spatial organization of these urban areas, and the cinematic representations of them, were shaped by the ideology and activity of imperialism. The pioneer camera operators who made these early films often put forward an imperialist ideology by paying particular attention to the cinematic representation of monumental and ceremonial spaces, modern communication and transport within the city and between the city and the empire. Of Empire and the City establishes connections between these cities and their cinematic representation by means of continuous motifs and themes, including modernity, Orientalism, spectatorship and the imperial subject. The book makes a unique contribution to studies of early film, British urban history and the history of the British Empire. «This is a highly original and genuinely groundbreaking piece of scholarship on early British cinema. Very little work on this subject to date has sought to contextualise films of the 1890s and 1900s within the broader field of the history of imperialism. Cinquegrani's book systematically corrects this 'blind spot', and in its use of a wide range of ideas and methodologies [...] it offers a compelling new model for future scholarship on British cinema of the silent era.» (Dr Jon Burrows, Associate Professor, Department of Film and Television Studies, University of Warwick)

Numerical Computation, Data Analysis and Software in Mathematics and Engineering by Yumin Cheng
English | PDF | 2022 | 274 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 52.7 MB
In recent years, mathematical models, numerical methods and data analysis have been paid more attention. After the finite-element method, the meshless method is another effective tool for solving science and enginnering problems. Numerical methods, such as the finite-element method, boundary element method and meshless method, have played important roles in numerical simulations of complicated problems in the science, engineering and society fields. Various numerical methods are presented to solve problems in different fields, and their corresponding computational efficiency, accuracy and convergence are also studied. With the development of big data, numerical simulation based on data analysis or big data will be an important direction for science and engineering computation. Deep learning is another new and effective approach to analyzing the properties of new materials.
