Expansion and Crisis in Louis XIV's France

Franche-Comté and Absolute Monarchy, 1674-1715

By: Darryl Dee

Driven by a desire for glory and renown, Louis XIV presided over France's last great burst of territorial expansion in Europe. During the first three decades of his rule, his armies conquered numerous territories along France's borders. After 1688, however, the tide of conquest turned as the kingdom was plunged into crisis. For the remainder of his reign, the king and his people endured wars against grand alliances of European powers, ecological disasters, economic depression, state bankruptcy, and demographic stagnation. Expansion and Crisis in Louis XIV's France examines these central yet understudied aspects of the age of the Sun King through the experience of Franche-Comté, a possession of the Spanish empire with a long history of autonomy, conquered by Louis XIV in 1674. Dee's detailed research reconstructs the ensuing dialogue -- sometimes harmonious, sometimes discordant -- between the king and the elites who ruled this province. The integration of Franche-Comté into France proved to be a protracted process involving confrontation, negotiation, and compromise. The resulting regime was then severely tested by the challenges of Louis XIV's late reign; its survival demonstrated how the king had brought a distinctly early modern state to the height of its development. This study offers significant new insights on the growth of the territorial state in early modern Europe, the nature of the French absolute monarchy, and the political legacy of the Sun King. Darryl Dee is Assistant Professor of History, Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Canada.

The 13th Day

By: Dee Allo,Darryl Blanchard

It is often said one should let sleeping dogs sleep. The same could be said for certain traditions long since laid to rest. There is often very good reason for both. Someone should have told Niko and his friends. There are many reasons why the 216 acres of dark grass, towering trees, suffocating shadows and unkempt buildings have been abandoned for over 25 years. Some reasons lay cushioned in reality and truth; others shrouded in mystery, secrecy and urban legend. Playing with darkness is the surest way for someone to discover their threshold for pain. And there exists no pain as intense or penetrating as fear. When Shawn, Paula, Arick, Lupe, Niko and Briana decide to rehash the tradition of disturbing this dark place nestled in a dark crevice of Prince George's County, Maryland, they quickly discover that waking the sleeping is answering the invitation to walk into your worst nightmare.

The Columbia Guide to Contemporary African American Fiction

By: Darryl Dickson-Carr

From Ishmael Reed and Toni Morrison to Colson Whitehead and Terry McMillan, Darryl Dickson-Carr offers a definitive guide to contemporary African American literature. This volume-the only reference work devoted exclusively to African American fiction of the last thirty-five years-presents a wealth of factual and interpretive information about the major authors, texts, movements, and ideas that have shaped contemporary African American fiction. In more than 160 concise entries, arranged alphabetically, Dickson-Carr discusses the careers, works, and critical receptions of Alice Walker, Gloria Naylor, Jamaica Kincaid, Charles Johnson, John Edgar Wideman, Leon Forrest, as well as other prominent and lesser-known authors. Each entry presents ways of reading the author's works, identifies key themes and influences, assesses the writer's overarching significance, and includes sources for further research. Dickson-Carr addresses the influence of a variety of literary movements, critical theories, and publishers of African American work. Topics discussed include the Black Arts Movement, African American postmodernism, feminism, and the influence of hip-hop, the blues, and jazz on African American novelists. In tracing these developments, Dickson-Carr examines the multitude of ways authors have portrayed the diverse experiences of African Americans. The Columbia Guide to Contemporary African American Fiction situates African American fiction in the social, political, and cultural contexts of post-Civil Rights era America: the drug epidemics of the 1980s and 1990s and the concomitant "war on drugs," the legacy of the Civil Rights Movement, the struggle for gay rights, feminism, the rise of HIV/AIDS, and racism's continuing effects on African American communities. Dickson-Carr also discusses the debates and controversies regarding the role of literature in African American life. The volume concludes with an extensive annotated bibliography of African American fiction and criticism.

The Stone

The Stone

By: Darryl Hines

He played deception like music, the way Miles played his horn. Every note moved her until she almost had no will of her own. Pregnant and alone, 26 year old Dahlia Reynolds recounts the events that led to her imprisonment in Thailand, an unlikely place for a Sista from Waycross, Georgia. Nervously awaiting the ultimate punishment, Dahlia realizes how far she is from Washington, DC, her best friends, Stacy and El, her job as a Pentagon analyst and from Antoine Blackwell, her occasional lover. This could be the end of a journey full of treachery and deceit launched by a mystery from her family's past and a quilt she inherited from a slave ancestor, all started with a chance encounter with a much older man. Mackenzie Powell stole Dahlia's heart and holds the key to a treasure that made her an unknowing pawn in a high stakes game of murder and intrigue that began deep inside a South African mine before she was born. Dahlia was swept away by the Bentley driving Mackenzie's classy good looks and debonair charm, but "Mac" has a secret and only The Stone has the power to unlock it and make sense of what appears to be a series of unrelated events. She wonders: Is Mac hero or villain?

High Cotton

A Novel

By: Darryl Pinckney

High Cotton is an extraordinarily rich account of the dreams and inner turmoils of a new generation of the black upper middle class, capturing the essence of a part of American society that has mostly been ignored in literature. The novel's protagonist journeys from his childhood home in the midwest to college, a stint in New York publishing, and Europe, yet the issue of his "blackness" remains at the heart of his being.

This Day In Comedy

The Ethnic Encyclopedia of Laughter

By: Frank Holder,Darryl Littleton

On This Day in Comedy is not just an encyclopedia, but a celebration of comedy. In humorous prose the book takes readers through the often-neglected subcultures of comedy in America, acknowledging the inclusiveness of the performers as well as shows and films that made this art form so vital to comics of all backgrounds. It's artistically criminal that a search for Native American or Asian comedy information yields a virtually blank slate. Look for Middle Eastern comics and you'll be provided information on the region's comic book revolution, and search results for Latin comedy are confined to a series of outdated articles. This encyclopedia will offer rare and in some cases never-before-seen photos and obscure facts, making it an indispensable comedy essential.

Mathematics Of Planet Earth: A Primer

By: Jochen Broecker,Ben Calderhead,Davoud Cheraghi,Colin Cotter,Darryl D Holm,Tobias Kuna,Beatrice Pelloni,Ted Shepherd,Hilary Weller

Mathematics of Planet Earth (MPE) was started and continues to be consolidated as a collaboration of mathematical science organisations around the world. These organisations work together to tackle global environmental, social and economic problems using mathematics.This textbook introduces the fundamental topics of MPE to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics, physics and engineering while explaining their modern usages and operational connections. In particular, it discusses the links between partial differential equations, data assimilation, dynamical systems, mathematical modelling and numerical simulations and applies them to insightful examples.The text also complements advanced courses in geophysical fluid dynamics (GFD) for meteorology, atmospheric science and oceanography. It links the fundamental scientific topics of GFD with their potential usage in applications of climate change and weather variability. The immediacy of examples provides an excellent introduction for experienced researchers interested in learning the scope and primary concepts of MPE.

Geometric Mechanics - Part I: Dynamics And Symmetry (2nd Edition)

By: Darryl D Holm

See also GEOMETRIC MECHANICS — Part II: Rotating, Translating and Rolling (2nd Edition) This textbook introduces the tools and language of modern geometric mechanics to advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in mathematics, physics and engineering. It treats the fundamental problems of dynamical systems from the viewpoint of Lie group symmetry in variational principles. The only prerequisites are linear algebra, calculus and some familiarity with Hamilton's principle and canonical Poisson brackets in classical mechanics at the beginning undergraduate level.The ideas and concepts of geometric mechanics are explained in the context of explicit examples. Through these examples, the student develops skills in performing computational manipulations, starting from Fermat's principle, working through the theory of differential forms on manifolds and transferring these ideas to the applications of reduction by symmetry to reveal Lie-Poisson Hamiltonian formulations and momentum maps in physical applications.The many Exercises and Worked Answers in the text enable the student to grasp the essential aspects of the subject. In addition, the modern language and application of differential forms is explained in the context of geometric mechanics, so that the importance of Lie derivatives and their flows is clear. All theorems are stated and proved explicitly.The organisation of the first edition has been preserved in the second edition. However, the substance of the text has been rewritten throughout to improve the flow and to enrich the development of the material. In particular, the role of Noether's theorem about the implications of Lie group symmetries for conservation laws of dynamical systems has been emphasised throughout, with many applications./a
