Reading And Writing With Samsung E-Readers
E-readers enhance the reading experience with their design and form, ease of use, and advanced features. With the new Samsung e-readers, supported onscreen note-taking with an enabled stylus is the newest element to entice users. Until the introduction of these multi-faceted Samsung devices, reading has never been as effortless and writing was never in such perfect form.
With the recent announcement about their E6 and E101 readers, Samsung has made an impressive entrance into the e-reader market. Samsung has also confirmed their future plans for the release of two additional e-readers – a 5-inch model and the 6-inch model with a QWERTY keyboard for easier emailing. All four models will have handwriting support and a MP3 player as well as 2GB of flash memory and up to 24 hours battery life.
These readers have the added convenience of built-in dictionaries. If users click on a word with the stylus, its definition will pop up on the screen. The Samsung e-readers use Bluetooth 2.0 for sharing content, are DLNA-enabled, and can share content with other DLNA devices in a household.
Users will reap the benefits from Samsung’s partnership with Google Books. The e-readers incorporate Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g and allow users to download (wirelessly) books and newspapers. Users can locate content and display PDF, plain text, or ePub files. Sony Reader was the first e-reader with direct access to Google libraries. As it is described in the article “E-Readers and their Smaller Brothers and Sisters“, Sony PRS users can upload directories of public domain books, offering them virtually free libraries, and also have access to the Google e-books libraries (Digital Book Readers). The Sony PRS now has a lot of titles to offer which makes its lower price look very attractive, and Google e-books has corrected its one-time weakness in technical books.
Samsung’s introductory models, E6 and E101, (6″ and 10″ screens respectively), point to the company’s innovative spirit. The smaller, more portable E6 has a slide-part (secret controls behind the screen) which reveals a trackpad for easy navigation. The E101 has calligraphy and editing functions such as ‘cut, copy, and paste’ choices. Both models feature Samsung’s Text-to-Speech engine which allows text to be read aloud to a user.
Combined with a virtual eraser, the built-in electromagnetic resonance (EMR) stylus pen transforms a Samsung e-reader into an e-reader/electronic notebook. The special stylus pens (in varied thickness) allow for handwriting. This feature makes the Samsung e-reader suitable for quick notes or leisurely sketching. Users can note their reading selections, create their to-do lists, or update their calendars – directly on the screen.
The Samsung e-readers provide a more natural reading experience. Reflecting light in a more natural manner, these readers are closer to the appearance of the printed page. The Samsung e-readers are not back-lit like other readers and they consume less power. Depending on the daily use, four hours of charging can prepare the battery for up to two weeks of use.
The first two Samsung e-readers will range in price from $399 (6″) to $699 (10″). The design of the E101 is not just a copy of the E6 design. Both devices will sport an unique look. The two additional models (5″ and 6″) will be released at a later date.
The 5-inch reader will not have the slide-out feature – possibly to reduce the purchase price. The low-end device doesn’t have Wi-Fi but the later 6-inch reader will display a Kindle-style integrated keyboard. With the handwriting option, however, the four Samsung e-readers will change forever the art of reading and writing.

Reader The $14.71 Rated: RSynopsis: What is the nature of guilt–and how can the human spirit survive when confronted with deep and horrifying truths? The Reader, a hushed and haunting meditation on these knotty questions, is sorrowful and shocking, yet leavened by a deep love story that is its heart. In postwar Germany, young schoolboy Michael (German actor David Cross) meets and begins a tender romance with the older, mysterious Hanna (Kate Winslet, whose performance is a revelation). The two make love hungrily in Hanna’s shabby apartment, yet their true intimacy comes as Michael reads aloud to Hanna in bed, from his school assignments, textbooks, even comic books. Hanna delights in the readings, and Michael delights in Hanna. |

The Deacon Reader $22.95 “The essays collected in this book, which is sure to be at the foundation of every deacon’s library, aim to give the reader an overview of the theological and pastoral nature of the diaconate and thus to clarify the fundamental identity of the deacon, for those who are discerning such a call as aspirants and those who are already candidates for the office. Editor and contributor James Keating divides the book into three sections: historical foundations, pastoral foundations, and sociological foundations for the diaconate, i.e., the core elements of the diaconal identity. Some of the subjects covered are the history of the diaconate, the morality of the deacon, the deacon and work, and the deacon’s wife. The most significant deacon theologians contribute to this text as well as priest experts on the diaconate. It is a complete systematic academic text for the first years of formation of deacons according to the New Roman National Directory (2005). As such, it is indispensable. This is the first text ever that specifies the theological formation of the deacon student over a range of themes and specialties. There is nothing like it in print.” |

The Erik Erikson Reader $27.95 “Erik H. Erikson is recognized as one of the world’s leading figures in the field of psychoanalysis and human development. His ideas about the stages of development, the sources of identity, and the interdependence of individual growth and historical change revolutionized our understanding of the nature and course of psychological growth. Erikson, whose work first described the now familiar concepts of “identity crisis” and “life cycle,” provided an unprecedented framework for considering the individual psyche within society and culture. Unveiling a dynamic process of psychological development, he emphasized the tendency toward growth and the integration of multiple influences-the biological, social, psychological, cultural, and historical. With writings from Erikson’s entire career, including major work from Childhood and Society, Insight and Responsibility, Young Man Luther, and Gandhi’s Truth, this invaluable reader charts the influence of Erikson’s thinking in the areas of child psychology, development through the lifespan, leadership, and moral growth.” |

The Reader [Original Motion Picture Score] $15.18 Stephen Daldry’s film adaptation of Bernhard Schlink’s best-selling novel The Reader tells the story of a German teenager of the 1950s who has an affair with an older woman, then grows up to discover she is on trial as a Nazi war criminal. It is, thus, a story of illicit romance mixed with the main character’s realization that things can be other than what he thinks they were. Nico Muhly’s score for the film responds to the themes of the story by presenting delicate, gentle music, slow piano cadences with discreet accompanying strings. But then, without changing the overall approach, Muhly makes things more complex, adding darker tones as the plot becomes more complicated. By the point of the appropriately titled cue “Not What I Expected,” the music is reflecting the troubling nature of the revelations in the story. Muhly’s basic musical equivalent to the movie’s theme is a disturbing dichotomy of time signatures, in which, for example in “The Failed Visit” and “Letters,” a primary instrument, usually the piano, plays in repeating patterns in one time while the strings play in another. The effect is disquieting, yet subtle, reinforcing what’s going on on the screen. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi Performers: David Theodore – Oboe |

A Down to Earth God: Devotionals for the Nature Lover $12.95 “”A Down to Earth God: Devotionals for the Nature Lover” is an inspirational non-fiction collection of earthy country stories illustrating scripture. Garry Genser humorously reveals his own weaknesses, inviting readers to more fully explore their own souls. In this process, simple scriptural truths come to life. Genser uses common daily experiences to capture vivid spiritual insights to help readers see God’s hand in their lives and to inspire them to a greater commitment to God’s will. A section of scripture follows each story, rather than preceding it, which invites dialogue. The scripture also reveals the moral of the stories with little exposition, so as not to turn the reader off by religiosity. The book would work well for family and small group devotionals. I>A Down to Earth God” celebrates an amazing God who seeks out each one of us through the daily circumstances of our lives.” |

Interpretation in Social Life, Social Science, and Marketing $166 ‘Interpretation’ is used as an umbrella for bringing together a wide range of concepts and developments in the philosophy of social science that provide the foundation for clear thinking about social phenomena. In his new book, John O’Shaughnessy familiarises the reader with the nature of interpretation and its importance in social life, decision making in social science enquiries and consumer marketing, thus offering a multidisciplinary approach to problems of bias and uncertainty.Thus, this book is novel in its outlook and comprehensive in its approach. Whereas past studies in interpretation have focused on hermeneutical methods, O’Shaughnessy goes further considering the role of interpretation in social interactions, in undertaking scientific work, in the use of statistics, in causal analysis, in consumer evaluations of products and artifacts and in interpreting problematic situations together with the corresponding biases arising from emotional happiness and the concepts employed. |

$30,000 Bequest and Other Stories $15 Note to Adobe eBook Customers: The Adobe Acrobat eBook Reader version is printable, but there is a known problem printing to printers that do not use the PostScript page description language. This problem occurs with some HP LaserJet, Epson Stylus inkjet, and Epson impact printers. Consult your printer’s documentation to find out if it is PostScript compatible. This does not affect your ability to read the book on screen. These twenty-eight short pieces by Twain comment on the human condition. The best to be hoped for, apparently, is that humans can be persuaded to rise above their selfish nature and work for the betterment of the community at large. Generally in his essays, Twain spoke his mind on a variety of public issues and was especially passionate in his anti-imperialist stance. |

1. The construction of motion graphics scores. 2. Seven Motion Graphics Scores: ”Above Snakes”, ”Crooked”, ”The Way Through Is Behind Us”, ”Three Rooms”, ”Elemental Canon”, ”OneZero”, and ”On”. $49.99 Developments in the early twentieth century relating to musical composition and performance, such as the introduction of extended vocal and instrumental techniques, the invention of electronic instruments and recording technologies, and the expanded use of alternative methods of combining instruments, all forced composers into new modes of organizing and communicating musical material. A few composers, as they attempted to manage an ever-broadening aural palette, developed a number of diverse notational strategies to control these new materials. Meanwhile, painter Wassily Kandinsky began using musical metaphors to describe the dynamic potential within the structure of and relationships between non-representational forms on the canvas. John Whitney, inspired both by Kandinsky’s work and by that of early abstract filmmakers, pioneered the use of computer motion graphics to produce images that reflect musical harmonic motion.;Because my scores are built and exist in a motion graphics environment for the purpose of animating musical notation, both notational and movement issues come into play within this single art form. The elasticity of the motion graphics score makes it a powerful tool that can be used to solve some of the notational difficulties inherent in dealing with sounds of a complex and/or morphological nature. It can also provide alternative solutions to the notational challenges faced by composer in the middle of century, especially, the control of musical materials of an indeterminate nature, interaction with the score by the performer, and the coordination of independently moving musical events. Several motion graphics scores are presented here: Above Snakes, Crooked, The Way Through is Behind Us, Three Rooms, Elemental Canon, OneZero, and On. If the reader wishes to view these scores, they are located on a CD entitled The Motion Graphics Scores of Severin Behnen 2006-2008, stored in the Music Library, Schoenberg Hall, on the campus of the University of |

1543 and All That: Image and Word, Change and Continuity in the Proto-Scientific Revolution $182.9 The focus of this volume, the Proto-Scientific Revolution, is that distinctive period, essentially High Renaissance in character, which paved the way for the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century. The epicentre of this important period is 1543, the annus mirabilis which saw the publication, amongst other seminal works, of Copernicus’ On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres, and Vesalius’ magnificently illustrated On the Fabric of the Human Body. A substantial literature exists on the Copernican Revolution, but the present original collection of papers, accessible to the non-specialist reader, breaks new ground, not only in bringing the works of Copernicus and Vesalius together, but by placing them within the context of the Proto-Scientific Revolution as a whole, the Renaissance of the arts, and the Reformation. In addition, the book, while noting discontinuities, pin-points linkages between the Proto-Scientific Revolution and the periods preceding and following it. As the volume focuses on an age which experienced the impact of both linear perspective and movable type printing, emphasis is placed upon the changing nature and roles of both image and word. |

1805 Books (Study Guide): 1805 Novels, Rameau’s Nephew, Prodromus Entomology, 1805 in Literature, History of the Rise, Progress $14.14 Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: 1805 Novels, Rameau’s Nephew, Prodromus Entomology, 1805 in Literature, History of the Rise, Progress, and Termination of the American Revolution, Fleetwood. Source: Wikipedia. Free updates online. Not illustrated. Excerpt: Rameau’s Nephew, or the Second Satire (French: ) is an imaginary philosophical conversation written by Denis Diderot, probably between 1761 and 1772. It was first published in 1805 in German translation by Goethe, but the French manuscript used has subsequently disappeared. The German version was translated back into French by de Saur and Saint-Geniès and published in 1821. The first published version based on French manuscript appeared in 1823 in the Brière edition of Diderot’s works. Modern editions are based on the complete manuscript in Diderots own hand found by Georges Monval, the librarian at the Comédie-Française, in 1890 while buying music scores from a second-hand bookshop in Paris. Monval published his edition of the manuscript in 1891. Subsequently, the manuscript was bought by the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York. It is unclear why Diderot never had it published in his time. Given the satirical tone of the work, it has been suggested that the author prudently refrained from giving offence. The recounted story takes place in the Palais-Royal, where Moi (“I”), a narrator-like persona describes for the reader a recent encounter he’s had with the character Lui (“Him”), referring to — yet not literally meaning — Jean-François Rameau, the nephew of the famous composer, who’s engaged him in an intricate battle of wits, self-reflexivity, allegory and allusion. Recurring themes in the discussion include the Querelle des Bouffons (the French/Italian opera battle), education of children, the nature of genius, and money. The often rambling conversation |

1866 $54.35 Originally published in 1979 by the Southern Illinois University Press, this volume is a narrative and interpretive account of the struggle between President Andrew Johnson and Congress over the nature of the Constitution and the Union, the meaning of Black freedom, and reconstruction policy during a crucial time in the early post-Civil War era. Written for both the specialist and the general reader in Reconstruction history, Riddleberger’’s clear narrative of national politics in 1866 and his synthesis and criticism of Beale’’s work and the works of such revisionist historians as Eric McKitrick, Lawanda and John Cox, W.R. Brock, and Stanley Coben make this book a solid contribution to the current reappraisal of the presidency of Andrew Johnson and the events of that critical year. |

7 Paths to God $8.95 In this book, Joan Borysenko tells you how a mystical moment can strike at any time when you are fully present in the moment: when looking at a beautiful full moon, a sunset, walking in nature, or looking into the eyes of a child. When you are fully present in the moment, you will be filled with a sense of awe, and beauty, and feel fully connected with the universe. An excerpt from the book: Just as many rivers lead to the sea, there are many paths to God. Each of the seven primary energy centers of the human body, the chakras, corresponds to a specific path. In this book, those paths are outlined, complete with spiritual exercises, giving the reader a sense of the most fruitful direction for their journey. You will learn that you don’t have to go to Nepal or go climb a mountain to have a mystical moment, but in learning how to be fully present in your everyday life, you will find that mystical moments can be found in the mundane, the ordinary, or also in the extraordinary. |

A Bay Breeze: A Novel Exploring the Concepts of Faith and Free Will $13.5 Everyday billions of people wake up thinking that a god is watching over them as they freely make choices in their lives. Dr. Alan Kosciol, noted neurobiologist, once believed that to be true. But years of research have turned his notion of gods, faith and free will upside down. In this novel, Dr. Kosciol embarks on a visiting lecture series where he debates the concepts of spirituality and free choice. Returning to his alma mater, Alan finds himself face to face with Robert, his deeply religious brother, and Lori, a lost, but not forgotten, love. All three are united through a series of events that centers on a bioterrorist action that has potentially devastating consequences. However, an underlying theme revolving around the age-old debate of nature versus nurture, and of free will versus predestination, seeps into every page.A Bay Breeze is not simply another novel about human behavior. From the first page, the reader will begin to question not only the characters’ actions, but their own beliefs about gods, good and evil, and predestination. One cannot leave this experience without examining their own foundational beliefs in a god…. and wondering if they really have a free will to choose, or are they simply slaves to their own biochemistry. |

A Bold Experiment $13.95 The story is set in Boston during the late 1970’s and told by one observer, who remains detached and creates vivid scenes for the reader as the story unfolds. This young man is a Viet Nam veteran and recent college graduate from a Midwestern University, who gets his first job as a special assistant to the main character, a company CEO. He quickly learns that his boss has a shady past that could include government espionage. He is the only person in the book who is not corrupted by the extreme desire to accumulate wealth and live the “good life”.Most of the other primary characters have confused and fleeting values and their own unique form of moral decay. One of the most flamboyant members of the CEO’s executive team consistently demonstrates selfish and arrogant behavior and flaunts the relationship with his mistress to coworkers and friends. His wife, who was raised as a “southern bell”, comes from old money and tries to create a warm, exciting image but the readers slowly learn that she is as self centered as her husband and much colder. Her best friend creates a smoke screen of apparent virtue to cover her cowardice and dishonesty to support the denial of her true amoral nature.The Boston “social scene” puts the main character on a pedestal which further magnifies the reality that he is a tragic hero who has worked feverishly to reach the top tier of society that remains beyond his reach. The primary symbols of wealth and power are ostentatious, richly furnished and massive “high rise” homes that overlook the city and Boston Harbor. The narrator is pulled into the role of “match maker” for his boss and his team member’s wife. They mutually rekindle a relationship that they believed had ended several years earlier. Our hero’s sordid past crashes into the trail of deceit that they create, causing the two deaths to end the story. |

A Book About Words $18.56 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.Excerpt from book:Degeneracy Of Words 03CHAPTER IV. DEGENERACY OP WOKDS. One point to be observed in the nature and history of words is their tendency to contract in form and degenerate in meaning. A word which, in the beginning of its career, has generally a favourable, or at any rate a not disparaging, meaning, becomes, as it grows older, weaker in effect and more contracted in form and signification, and, in most cases, falls into an unfavourable sense. It does not improve or extend, but contracts and deteriorates in meaning. Archbishop Trench uses this fact as an argument to prove the perversity and evil tendencies of mankind; and it must be admitted to have considerable force. Take the two verbs, to ‘ resent’ and to ‘ retaliate.’ The first of these means, etymologically, ‘ to feel back,’ or ‘feel in return.’ Of course, one may feel kindly or unkindly, according to circumstances ; but we now never use this word in afavourable sense. We are never said to ‘ textit{resent’ kindness or affection; but only injury, slander, ill deeds, and c. Again, the derivation of ‘ retaliate ‘ is from the Latin ‘ re ‘ (back) and ‘ talis ‘ (such) ; and it would naturally signify, ‘ to give back such’ (as we have received). But we now retaliate offences or indignities, and never favours or benefits. These words were, however, once used in a much more extended sense. Dr. South, a celebrated preacher of Charles textit{II.’a time, in one of his sermons has the expression,’ resenting God’s favours,’ which, according to the present restricted meaning of the word, would seem to a modern reader positively blasphemous. But in the seventeenth century the word ‘ resent’ implied good as well as bad feeling; gratitude for benefits received as well as anger for injury done. This tendency to degenerate will appear, perhaps, more evidently if we inquire into |

A Book Of Re-Membering $16 Under the tutelage of the sacred South American ayahuasca plant, as well as a handful of other guides – plant, human, animal and non-corporeal alike – B.M.B. leads the reader down some of the curious roads and vestiges of his psyche, and by extension likewise invites his readers to ask some challenging questions regarding their own self-concepts and the nature of the universe in which they live. This journal provides an unusual insight into the bizarre and often profound world of psychedelic experience, as well as a welcome reminder that entheogens are in fact serious spiritual tools, which, contrary to their reputation for recreational applications, are in the right hands a potent pathway to self-discovery. The author takes us into a disquieting no man’s land wherein the experiencer is besought on all sides by egoic projections, doubt and delusion, and is left with only the strength of his own burgeoning wisdom to help him separate truth from illusion. www.BookofRemembering.com |

A Chicken and a Candle $23.95 A Chicken and a Candle is the memoir of the childhood and young adulthood of Suzanne Regnier, in France during the World War II and the immediate post war era. But it is more than just a memoir; it is the evocation of a unique period of European history, and a fascinating cast of characters that made up the world of the unique woman. Readers will meet Tonton Dede, her plump, terot card-reading grandmother; diminutive, politically-radical Memere Regnier, her other grandmother; Remi, her first love; Mrs. Vilbert, the tyrannical headmistress of the Pension de Fleurs; Suzanne’s husband, Bob Sanford; her volatile step-mother; and perhaps most of all, her father. The result is an enchanting mélange of personalities who come alive in indelible portraits of humor, veniality, selfishness, and tender affection. The reader will also discover the disparate worlds of cosmopolitan and provincal France as the Regniers travel about the country during the traumatic German occupation of France, and the dramatic restructuring of postwar French society: Beauce, Provence, Aix, St. Leu, Chauvry, Chartres, the Riviera, and Paris. As Suzanne matures into an adolescent suffering from a temperamentally unpredictable step-mother and an emotionally distant father, she experience a bewildering life that fluctuates between loving acceptance and aloof rejection. Suzanne’s description of her varied careers as governs to the children of one of France’s wealthiest families, secretary, salesperson for a publisher, and translator at an American air base, where she met her future husband, reveals with subtle insight the complexity of human nature, with its combination of selfish mendacity compassionatetenderness. But most of all, A Chicken and a Candle is the touching flowering of a sensitive young woman, forged from a difficult childhood punctuated by a heart-rendering search for love and acceptance. As the story unfolds, the metaphorical significance of the title becomes apparent |

A Companion to Aesthetics $162.98 This second edition of A Companion to Aesthetics examines questions that were among the earliest discussed by ancient philosophers, such as the nature of beauty and the relation between morality and art, while also addressing a host of new issues prompted by recent developments in the arts and in philosophy, including coverage of non-Western art traditions and of everyday and environmental aesthetics. The volume also canvases debates regarding the nature of representation, the relation between art and truth, and the criteria for interpretation, which are among the most hotly discussed topics in contemporary philosophy.In this extensively revised and updated edition, 168 alphabetically arranged articles provide comprehensive treatment of the main topics and writers in aesthetics. Major additions include historical overviews from the prehistoric to the present and a section on the individual arts. A Companion to Aesthetics will serve students of philosophy, literary criticism, and cultural studies – as well as the educated general reader – both as a work of reference and, with its many substantial essays, as a guide to the best thinking about the arts from the ancient Greeks to the dawn of the twenty-first century. |

A Critical Introduction to Phonology $92.07 Continuum Critical Introductions to Linguistics present core areas of the subject from refreshing new perspectives. This book takes an interdisciplinary approach to phonology which departs from the mainstream tradition. Daniel Silverman introduces the key aspects of phonology, and argues that the nature of linguistic sound systems can only be understood in the context of how they are actually used by speakers and listeners. Using sound samples from a large corpus of data, Daniel Silverman introduces phonology as a practical subject to be used and enjoyed, rather than as a theoretical minefield with no bearing on the reality of how people speak. A Critical Introduction to Phonology is engagingly written and uses anecdotes and examples drawn from popular culture to illustrate each point. The book provides comprehensive coverage of all the key areas of the subject, and contains chapter summaries to help the reader navigate the text. Throughout the book Daniel Silverman prompts critical thinking about this core area of linguistics, and this will therefore be essential reading for students on introductory phonology courses both at undergraduate and postgraduate level. |

A Field Book of the Stars $39.08 1907. With Fifty Diagrams. From the Introduction: Considering the ease with which a knowledge of the constellations can be acquired, it seems a remarkable fact that so few are conversant with these time-honored configurations of the heavens. Aside from a knowledge of the Dipper and the Pleiades, the constellations to the vast majority, are utterly unknown. To facilitate and popularize if possible this fascinating recreation of stargazing the author has designed this field-book. It is limited in scope solely to that purpose, and all matter of a technical or theoretical nature has been omitted. The endeavor has been to include in these pages only such matter as the reader can observe with the naked eye, or an opera-glass. Simplicity and brevity have been aimed at, the main idea being that whatever is bulky or verbose is a hindrance rather than a help when actually engaged in the observation of the heavens. The constellations embraced in this manual are only those visible from the average latitude of the New England and Middle States, and owe their place in the particular season in which they are found to the fact that in that season they are favorably situated for observation. With this brief explanatory note of the purpose and design of the book, the author proceeds to outline the scheme of study. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing. |

A Hilbert Space Problem Book $74.95 From the Preface: This book was written for the active reader. The first part consists of problems, frequently preceded by definitions and motivation, and sometimes followed by corollaries and historical remarks… The second part, a very short one, consists of hints… The third part, the longest, consists of solutions: proofs, answers, or contructions, depending on the nature of the problem….This is not an introduction to Hilbert space theory. Some knowledge of that subject is a prerequisite: at the very least, a study of the elements of Hilbert space theory should proceed concurrently with the reading of this book. |

A History of Freedom of Thought $28.51 Most people who live in open societies, especially in the West, take freedom of thought and expression for granted. Yet throughout most of history, independent thinking was discouraged and often persecuted. The battle for independence of mind continued for centuries. In Freedom of Thought, J. B. Bury provides a dramatic survey of intellectual history, clearly and eloquently describing the struggle for intellectual freedom from ancient times to the beginning of the 20th century. He guides the reader from the flowering of rational inquiry in early Greece, through the suppression of free thought during much of the Middle Ages, to the rediscovery of classical philosophy in the Renaissance, and finally to the growth of rationalism beginning with the Age of Reason in the 17th century. Along the way, Bury explains the key events that contributed to the modern rational understanding of nature and offers concise sketches of the many important persons?philosophers, scientists, and writers?who c |

Anyone interested in religion of any kind will prize this book. It is an exhilarating read. –Alan E. Bernstein, University of Arizona A History of Heaven serves the important purpose of educating us in the fullness of the Christian tradition about the nature of the afterlife of the blessed regarded from every relevant point of view: theology, popular religious feeling, poetic metaphor and expression, devotion, and psychology of religious feeling. The wealth of Russell’s knowledge is demonstrated on every page and is presented with a fluency and ease that are the marks of mature scholarship informed by genuine fresh enthusiasm. –Nancy F. Partner, McGill University This is a masterly synthesis of much of the ancient and medieval understandings of heaven through Dante, accenting both the commonalities and the divergences and debates within the traditions studied. It is the only in-depth treatment of its subject and should become a standard reference for scholars as well as the general reader. The style is engaging and accessible, and the author displays a magisterial grasp of his materials. –Marcia L. Colish, Oberlin College Jeffrey Russell’s history of the concept of heaven is written with the same sensitivity and thoroughness that characterized his earlier work on Satan/Lucifer, but it is presented with a lyric intensity that is necessarily absent from the earlier work. In terms of comprehensiveness, respectfor diverse philosophical and religious traditions and influences, and awareness of the changing character of the concept over time, Russell has written the most useful and intelligent history of heaven to date. –Edward Peters, University of Pennsylvania Jeffrey Russell has written a |

A History of Islamic Spain $24.22 The period of Muslim occupation in Spain represents the only significant contact Islam and Europe was ever to have on European soil. In this important as well as fascinating study, Watt traces Islam’s influence upon Spain and European civilization–from the collapse of the Visigoths in the eighth century to the fall of Granada in the fifteenth, and considers Spain’s importance as a part of the Islamic empire. Particular attention is given to the golden period of economic and political stability achieved under the Umayyads. Without losing themselves in detail and without sacrificing complexity, the authors discuss the political, social, and economic continuity in Islamic Spain, or al-Andalus, in light of its cultural and intellectual effects upon the rest of Europe. Medieval Christianity, Watt points out, found models of scholarship in the Islamic philosophers and adapted the idea of holy war to its own purposes while the final reunification of Spain under the aegis of the Reconquista played a significant role in bringing Europe out of the Middle Ages. A survey essential to anyone seeking a more complete knowledge of European or Islamic history, the volume also includes sections on literature and philology by Pierre Cachia. This series of Islamic surveys is designed to give the educated reader something more than can be found in the usual popular books. Each work undertakes to survey a special part of the field, and to show the present stage of scholarship here. Where there is a clear picture this will be given; but where there are gaps, obscurities and differences of opinion, these will also be indicated. Full and annotated bibliographies will afford guidance to those who want topursue their studies further. There will also be some account of the nature and extent of the source material. The series is addressed in the first place to the educated reader, with little or no previous knowledge of the subject; its character is such that it should be of value also to un |

A History of the Ideas of Theoretical Physics: Essays on the Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Physics $185.23 Through the study of the ideas of the great fathers of theoretical physics, such as Ampère, Weber, Helmholtz, Maxwell, Boltzmann, Einstein, Schrödinger, et al., this book affords an improved understanding of modern physics. My main field of interest concerns the physicists’ conceptions of the methods and nature of science. In my view, innovative conceptions contributed to important achievements in theoretical physics. Dissenting from the historiography of the linear development of scientific ideas, I duly underline the fact that, in the passage from nineteenth-century electrodynamics to theoretical physics, the process of mathematization varied remarkably, ranging from Ampère’s and Weber’s algebraization to Maxwell’s attention to mathematical analogies and dimensional analysis, not to mention Einstein’s non-Euclidean approach to general relativity and the via-operators formulation of quantum theory. I describe how, in the same period of time, physicists modified their ideas on the theory-experiment relationship, as shown, for example, by Hertz’s theoretical holism, and by Boltzmann’s discrediting of crucial experiments. I report a large number of not easily available quotations from primary sources in the history of physics and of references to the recent secondary literature. As such, this book will prove a useful addition to the culture of modern scientists and philosophers, and it could be influential in orienting teachers towards new approaches to teaching physics at undergraduate and graduate levels. It is aimed at historians of physics, epistemologists, professors of physics, PhD candidates in history of science, undergraduate and graduate students in history of physics and of science, and, last but not least, the cultured lay general reader. |
