The Rope and the Chains - Cary Joseph Nederman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Rope and the Chains - Cary Joseph Nederman - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Niccolò Machiavelli counts among the most famous (and infamous) political authors in the history of Western political thought, primarily on account of his book the Prince. Before he wrote that notorious treatise, however, he served for fourteen years as a prominent and active civil administrator in the government of the Republic of Florence. Removed from office in 1512, following a take-over by the Medici dynasty that had ruled the city during much of the fifteenth century, Machiavelli was incarcerated and tortured as a result of unsubstantiated accusations of his involvement in a coup plot. Soon after his release from prison, he composed the Prince, which is generally seen to constitute the beginning of his career as a political theorist as well as a comic playwright, poet and military analyst of note. Yet little attention has been devoted to the large body of writings—in the form of prose and poetry, as well as the hundreds of pages of diplomatic and personal correspondence—that he produced in the course of his public service. In an unprecedented interpretation, The Rope and the Chains carefully examines the neglected pre-Prince texts in order to frame his later theories. The book reveals that Machiavelli’s thought prior to the Prince was largely conventional when judged by the standards of his day. At the same time, it also demonstrates his dissatisfaction with the intellectual worldview in which he was enmeshed. Machiavelli “became” Machiavelli once liberated from the rope and the chains by which centuries of tradition had constrained him.

Hanging without a Rope - Mary Margaret Steedly - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

Hanging without a Rope - Mary Margaret Steedly - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

When Mary Steedly went to North Sumatra, Indonesia, she intended to study the curing practices of Karo Batak spirit mediums, the gurus who keep a community in touch with its ancestors. She became fascinated by the stories these women and men told of their encounters with spirits in the ritual arena and on the borders of the everyday social world. In these stories, Karo mediums conveyed their sense of historical out-of-placeness, which they described as "hanging without a rope," in Indonesia''s state-proclaimed Age of Development. Based on the author''s three years of fieldwork in urban and rural Karoland, this engaging and sympathetic account focuses on issues of experience, memory, and narrative plausibility. Steedly approaches mediums'' stories not simply as reservoirs of information about "what happened" at a particular moment, but as interested efforts to map a pathway across the shifting landscape of historical memory.Over the past century Karoland has been the scene of colonial conquest, Christian conversion, commercial agricultural development, military occupation, reolution, migration, and modernization. Storeis of spirit encounters, Steedly argues, provide an alternative, "unofficial" perspective on the historical transformation of the Karo social world. In addition to her rich ethnographic material, she draws on feminist theories of subjectivity, William Faulkner''s reconstructions of personal and collective memory, and current anthropological explorations of the politics of representation to open the ethnographic imagination to historical eventfulness.Mary Margaret Steedly is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Harvard University.Originally published in 1993.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Geometric Properties & Problems of Thick Knots - Claus Ernst - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Geometric Properties & Problems of Thick Knots - Claus Ernst - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

In geometric knot theory, a central issue is to study the various geometric properties of knots when the knots have certain thickness. This setting makes a knot more like one that is tied with a uniform physical rope. These problems are mostly motivated by the recent applications of knot theory in fields such as biology and polymer chemistry. In this book, the authors first give a brief review of the basic concepts and terminologies such as the thickness of a knot and the rope length of a knot. They then review the main results in this field. The topics include results on the global minimum rope length of knots, various lower and upper rope length bounds of knots in terms of their crossing numbers, and lower and upper bounds on the total curvatures of thick knots. Some special families of knots or under different settings, such as lattice knots and smooth knots are also considered. While some proofs are omitted or only outlined due to the page limitation of the book, many important ideas, methods, and theorems are explained in depth. At the end of the book, a list of some open problems in this field is given.

Modern Splicing - Egmont M. Friedl - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Modern Splicing - Egmont M. Friedl - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

For marine, boating, and climbing amateurs and professionals at all levels, splices—the strongest way of attaching or joining the end of a rope—are essential. Why? Because a splice gives the strongest way of attaching or joining the end of a rope to any object or to another rope. (Every knot, on the other hand, weakens a rope.) In this much-anticipated handbook, world-renowned expert Friedl guides you through modern splicing techniques with his clear directions, one-of-a-kind color diagrams, and 200+ color photos. The book is supplemented by four-plus hours of excellent video instruction. Throughout, every type of splice is shown by an expert climber and shipbuilder. Learn what to know before starting to splice, then build a solid understanding and competence of modern cordage, its construction, and its fiber materials. Friedl has over 35 years of sailing experience, including several Atlantic crossings, and is also a professional climber. He teaches seminars and workshops on modern splicing worldwide, and in 2006, Friedl made the modern soft shackle internationally known. Now, his much-anticipated book allows you, whether you are a hobbyist or a professional, to leverage splicing skills to become more self-reliant while making your maritime or climbing pursuits safer.

A Retractable Guidance System for Mine Shaft Hoists - Paweå‚ Kaminski - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A Retractable Guidance System for Mine Shaft Hoists - Paweå‚ Kaminski - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Rope guidance of conveyances is commonly used in shafts of underground mines in numerous countries on almost every continent. This safe and economical way of guiding skips and cages does have one disadvantage, however, which is especially troublesome in the conditions present in the Polish mining industry. Rope-guided conveyances require additional support at mine levels, while shafts of Polish coal mines usually operate on many levels. Additional stiff guidance at mine levels used as a support negatively affects the effectiveness of rope-guided hoisting systems. The retractable guidance system was originally introduced at the 960 m level in the Leon IV shaft of the Rydułtowy coal mine in Rydułtowy (currently ROW mine, Rydułtowy department), Silesian voivodeship, Poland. This construction, consisting of moveable elements, similar to the typical stiff guidance used at mine levels, serves as a support for the conveyance whenever necessary. When it is retracted, it allows the cage to travel at full speed through the level, increasing the degree of effectiveness of the hoisting system of the Leon IV shaft. The retractable guidance system, the solution presented in this book, is a pioneering approach in the Polish mining industry. It has allowed improvement of the level of effectiveness of the Leon IV shaft of the Rydułtowy colliery. It is an innovative opportunity for rope guidance systems worldwide, as it solves their biggest problem in multi-level shafts.

Europe in the World - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Europe in the World - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This edited volume provides an innovative contribution to the debate on contemporary European geopolitics by tracing some of the new political geographies and geographical imaginations emergent within - and made possible by - the EU''s actions in the international arena. Drawing on case studies that range from the Arctic to East Africa, the nine empirical chapters provide a critical geopolitical reading of the ways in which particular places, countries, and regions are brought into the EU''s orbit and the ways in which they are made to work for ''EU''rope. The analyses look at how the spaces of ''EU''ropean power and actorness are narrated and created, but also at how ''EU''rope''s discursive (and material) strategies of incorporation are differently appropriated by local and regional elites, from the southern shores of the Mediterranean to Eastern Europe and the Balkans. The question of EU border management is a particularly important concern of several contributions, highlighting some of the ways in which the Union''s border-work is actively (re)making the European space.

Shell Structures - Mitchell Gohnert - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Shell Structures - Mitchell Gohnert - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This text provides a complete and thorough derivation of the mathematical theory of shell structures. Many books on shells only give the key equations or snippets of theory, skipping all of the mathematical steps required to solve for the key equations. This is understandable, because of the mathematical complexity of shell structures. Thus, the reader must just accept the design equations blindly, without achieving a complete understanding of shell theory. This book, therefore, fills this gap by providing a complete picture of shell theory. Class tested over three university post-graduate courses and one public course on shell structures, the book is mathematically intensive, but it written in an accessible style ideal for students of engineering mechanics in civil and mechanical engineers concentrations, as well as practicing structural engineers looking for a reference on shells.

Fixing Truancy Now - Bruce S. Cooper - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Fixing Truancy Now - Bruce S. Cooper - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Truancy is a complex issue that continues to plague schools, and many blame truancy problems on students, parents, and socioeconomic factors. However, truancy is more than juvenile delinquents skipping school to have fun or be with friends. In Fixing Truancy Now: Inviting Students Back to Class, author Bruce S. Cooper posits that truancy is an indication that school curricula and pedagogy are not serving students’ needs as well as they should, especially when it comes to ethnic minority students and English language learners. This book explores: ·different types of truancy; ·major research in the field;·and how teachers, school leaders, and students can work together in solving this problem. Ultimately this book offers hope that teachers, parents, and school leaders can find solutions to this multifaceted problem through collaborative problem-solving.

The Intelligent Design Debate and the Temptation of Scientism - Erkki Vesa Rope Kojonen - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Intelligent Design Debate and the Temptation of Scientism - Erkki Vesa Rope Kojonen - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The controversy over Intelligent Design (ID) has now continued for over two decades, with no signs of ending. For its defenders, ID is revolutionary new science, and its opposition is merely ideological. For its critics, ID is both bad science and bad theology. But the polemical nature of the debate makes it difficult to understand the nature of the arguments on all sides. A balanced and deep analysis of a controversial debate, this volume argues that beliefs about the purposiveness or non-purposiveness of nature should not be based merely on science. Rather, the philosophical and theological nature of such questions should be openly acknowledged.

Doing Double Dutch - - Bog - Leuven University Press - Plusbog.dk

Doing Double Dutch - - Bog - Leuven University Press - Plusbog.dk

The importance of a minor language in the field of world literature. Dutch literature is increasingly understood as a network of texts and poetics connected to other languages and literatures through translations and adaptations. In this book, a team of international researchers explores how Dutch literary texts cross linguistic, historical, geophysical, political, religious, and disciplinary borders, and reflects on a wide range of methods for studying these myriad border crossings. As a result, this volume provides insight into the international dissemination of Dutch literature and the position of a smaller, less-translated language within the field of world literature. The title Doing Double Dutch evokes a popular rope-skipping game in which two people turn two long jump ropes in opposite directions while a third person jumps them. A fitting metaphor for how literature circulates internationally: two dynamic spheres, the source culture and the target culture, engage one another in a complex pattern of movement resulting in a new literary work, translation, or adaptation formed somewhere in the middle.

Cloud Native Networking Deep-Dive - Priyanka Naik - Bog - River Publishers - Plusbog.dk

Cloud Native Networking Deep-Dive - Priyanka Naik - Bog - River Publishers - Plusbog.dk

This book demystifies how Kubernetes networking actually works by walking through a simple but practical simulation that mirrors reality as closely as possible, while skipping the gory details. Widespread adoption of container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes have spawned a whole field of industry products, startups and academic research in the field of container networking, typically termed as cloud-native networking. But, what is cloud-native networking? What are the various pieces and how do they fit together? Over recent years, most applications have been deployed on cloud infrastructure. Kubernetes has been the widely adopted orchestrator for these clouds. Application developers in most cases are unaware of the underlying plumbing in Kubernetes that holds their applications running as containers. Networking is an integral part of any Kubernetes environment and efficiently drives the various abstractions provided by it. Needless to say, it greatly effects the performance of applications, which in general have a humongous amount of inter-microservice communication. The impact is even more profound in multiple cloud environments.
