Livy: Ab urbe condita Book XXII - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Livy: Ab urbe condita Book XXII - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Livy''s Ab urbe condita Book XXII narrates Hannibal''s massive defeats of the Romans at Trasimene (217 BC) and Cannae (216 BC). It is Livy''s best and most dramatic book, and the one most likely to appeal to students at every level. Livy drew on the Greek historian Polybius, but transformed his drier treatment into a rhetorical masterpiece, which by a series of insistent thematic contrasts brings out the tensions between the delaying tactics of Fabius and the costly rashness of Flaminius, Minucius and Varro. A substantial and accessibly written introduction by two experienced commentators covers historical, religious, literary and linguistic matters, including the place of Book XXII in the structure of Livy''s long work. A new text by Briscoe is followed by a full commentary, covering literary and historical aspects and offering frequent help with translation. The volume is suitable for undergraduates, graduate students, teachers, and scholars.

American Politics in the Postwar Sunbelt - Sean P. Cunningham - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

American Politics in the Postwar Sunbelt - Sean P. Cunningham - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book analyzes the political culture of the American Sunbelt since the end of World War II. It highlights and explains the Sunbelt''s emergence during the second half of the twentieth century as the undisputed geographic epicentre for conservative Republican power in the United States. However, the book also investigates the ongoing nature of political contestation within the postwar Sunbelt, often highlighting the underappreciated persistence of liberal and progressive influences across the region. Sean P. Cunningham argues that the conservative Republican ascendancy that so many have identified as almost synonymous with the rise of the postwar American Sunbelt was hardly an easy, unobstructed victory march. Rather, it was consistently challenged and never preordained. The history of American politics in the postwar Sunbelt resembles a roller-coaster of partisan and ideological adaptation and transformation.

Introduction to Graphene-Based Nanomaterials - Luis E. F. (universidad De Chile) Foa Torres - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Introduction to Graphene-Based Nanomaterials - Luis E. F. (universidad De Chile) Foa Torres - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Graphene is one of the most intensively studied materials, and has unusual electrical, mechanical and thermal properties, which provide almost unlimited potential applications. This book provides an introduction to the electrical and transport properties of graphene and other two-dimensional nanomaterials, covering ab-initio to multiscale methods. Updated from the first edition, the authors have added chapters on other two-dimensional materials, spin-related phenomena, and an improved overview of Berry phase effects. Other topics include powerful order N electronic structure, transport calculations, and ac transport and multiscale transport methodologies. Chapters are complemented with concrete examples and case studies, questions and exercises, detailed appendices and computational codes. It is a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers working in physics, materials science or engineering who are interested in the field of graphene-based nanomaterials.

MRI from A to Z - Gary Liney - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

MRI from A to Z - Gary Liney - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

From ''AB systems'' to ''Zipper artefact'' - even for the experienced practitioner in MRI, the plethora of technical terms and acronyms can be daunting and bewildering. This concise but comprehensive guide provides an effective and practical introduction to the full range of this terminology. It will be an invaluable source of reference for all students, trainees and medical professionals working with MRI. More than 800 terms commonly encountered in MR Imaging and Spectroscopy are clearly defined, explained and cross-referenced. Illustrations are used to enhance and explain many of the definitions, and references to further reading will point the reader to more in-depth coverage. As well as being a compendium of terms from A to Z, the volume concludes with a useful collection of appendices, which tabulate many of the key constants, properties and equations of relevance.

First Exposure to a Second Language - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

First Exposure to a Second Language - - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

The initial state of learner spontaneous input processing in foreign language learning, as well as the extent to which this processing leads to intake, is of central importance to theoreticians and teachers alike. In this collection of original studies, leading experts examine a range of issues, such as what learners do when faced with a language they know little or nothing about, what factors appear to mediate beginning learners'' processing of input, how beginners treat two types of information - form and meaning - in the input, and how adult cognition deals with stimulus frequency at this initial stage. This book provides a microscopic view on learners'' processing of foreign language input at the early stages of learning, and evaluates a variety of methodological options within the context of ab initio processing of foreign languages other than English, such as German, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, and Spanish.

A Quietist Jihadi - Joas Wagemakers - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

A Quietist Jihadi - Joas Wagemakers - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Since 9/11, the Jordanian Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi (b. West Bank, 1959) has emerged as one of the most important radical Muslim thinkers alive today. While al-Maqdisi may not be a household name in the West, his influence amongst like-minded Muslims stretches across the world from Jordan - where he lives today - to Southeast Asia. His writings and teachings on Salafi Islam have inspired terrorists from Europe to the Middle East, including Abu Mus''ab al-Zarqawi, the former leader of al-Qa''ida in Iraq, and Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama Bin Laden''s successor as the head of al-Qa''ida Central. This groundbreaking book, which is the first comprehensive assessment of al-Maqdisi, his life, ideology, and influence, is based on his extensive writings and those of other jihadis, as well as on interviews that the author conducted with (former) jihadis, including al-Maqdisi himself. It is a serious and intense work of scholarship that uses this considerable archive to explain and interpret al-Maqdisi''s particular brand of Salafism. More broadly, the book offers an alternative, insider perspective on the rise of radical Islam, with a particular focus on Salafi opposition movements in Saudi Arabia and Jordan.
