Rethinking the Other in Antiquity

Rethinking the Other in Antiquity

By: Erich S. Gruen

Prevalent among classicists today is the notion that Greeks, Romans, and Jews enhanced their own self-perception by contrasting themselves with the so-called Other--Egyptians, Phoenicians, Ethiopians, Gauls, and other foreigners--frequently through hostile stereotypes, distortions, and caricature. In this provocative book, Erich Gruen demonstrates how the ancients found connections rather than contrasts, how they expressed admiration for the achievements and principles of other societies, and how they discerned--and even invented--kinship relations and shared roots with diverse peoples. Gruen shows how the ancients incorporated the traditions of foreign nations, and imagined blood ties and associations with distant cultures through myth, legend, and fictive histories. He looks at a host of creative tales, including those describing the founding of Thebes by the Phoenician Cadmus, Rome's embrace of Trojan and Arcadian origins, and Abraham as ancestor to the Spartans. Gruen gives in-depth readings of major texts by Aeschylus, Herodotus, Xenophon, Plutarch, Julius Caesar, Tacitus, and others, in addition to portions of the Hebrew Bible, revealing how they offer richly nuanced portraits of the alien that go well beyond stereotypes and caricature. Providing extraordinary insight into the ancient world, this controversial book explores how ancient attitudes toward the Other often expressed mutuality and connection, and not simply contrast and alienation.

Free Radicals and Inhalation Pathology

Respiratory System, Mononuclear Phagocyte System Hypoxia and Reoxygenation Pneumoconioses and other Granulomatoses Cancer

By: Erich Schiller

An encyclopedic summary of the highlights in the field of free radicals in medicine and biology, with a detailed analysis of the extensive recent literature. The text describes results from experimental research work on dust inhalation, hypoxia, and environmental toxicology that uses morphologic methods such as electron microscopy, interference microscopy and time-lapse technqiues in tissue cultures. The volume discusses free radical reactions that are probably involved in the pathogenesis of both physical and chemical environmental hazards. It lists radical scavengers that function as useful prophylactic agents in case of unavoidable exposure. A short history of dust diseases that have challenged mankind since prehistoric times serves as an introduction to this comprehensive treatise. It is hoped that by covering this field in one monograph, the increasingly recognized and important role of both oxygen- and nitrogen-centred radicals in disease pathogenesis will become clearer. The enclosed CD includes nearly 25.000 literature citations useful as a reference source for researchers, clinicians and students.

Antimicrobial Food Additives

Characteristics - Uses - Effects

By: Erich Lück,Martin Jager

The chemical preservation of food plays an essential role in both food science and the food processing industry. Despite its importance, however, information has remained dispersed in journals and handbooks. Now, the two authors, both leading research scientists at Hoechst, provide the first comprehensive overview of all aspects of food preservation by chemical techniques. The first sections deal with general aspects of importance to all preservatives, while special chapters concentrate on the properties and uses of industrial preservatives. Of special interest is the comprehensive listing of the English, French, Italian, Spanish and Russian trade names of these chemical additives. Although completely revised and enlarged, this book is based on the 3rd German edition of Chemische Lebensmittelkonservierung by the same authors, and its detailed and practice-oriented explanations make this a valuable source of information for food specialists in industry, government authorities and nutritional science.

Clinical Anatomy of the Pelvic Floor

By: Helga Fritsch,A. Lienemann,Erich Brenner,Barbara Ludwikowski

Since a clear understanding of the pelvic floor region is crucial for both male and female pelvic surgery and for fundamental mechanisms of urogenital and/or ano-rectal dysfunction and treatment, the authors present a morphological concept that is in accordance with actual clinical concepts. The reinterpreted anatomical concept is compared to classical morphological ideas and what is most important to functional considerations.

The Hellenistic World and the Coming of Rome

By: Erich S. Gruen

In this revisionist study of Roman imperialism in the Greek world, Gruen considers the Hellenistic context within which Roman expansion took place. The evidence discloses a preponderance of Greek rather than Roman ideas: a noteworthy readiness on the part of Roman policymakers to adjust to Hellenistic practices rather than to impose a system of their own.

Obama - President & Kahuna?

About A Man Making Music that Wasn´t There Before

By: Erich J. Kreutzer

This book is no political book. It explains in its first part the ancient Polynesian traditions of Huna and its Seven Principles, Ho´oponopono, Ohana, Talk-Story and Dragon-Dreaming and shows how to use them in our modern times. In its second part it raises the question if President Obama, can be seen as a Kahuna, an expert in his field. Not only because of his Hawaiian descent, but also because of using – consciously or unconsciously - many elements of the Polynesian traditions in his speeches and books. Kreutzer has analyzed Obama´s books and more than forty speeches by Barack Obama. He relates the results to the Seven Huna-Principles, Ho´oponopono, Ohana, Dragon-Dreaming and other Polynesian elements and shows that Barack Obama embodies a new type of leader. The book illustrates that words and messages, stripped bare of political meanings and brought into right context, are timeless and can better our lives, families, communities and our entire world – if we only would listen.

Special Topics in Mathematics for Computer Scientists

Sets, Categories, Topologies and Measures

By: Ernst-Erich Doberkat

This textbook addresses the mathematical description of sets, categories, topologies and measures, as part of the basis for advanced areas in theoretical computer science like semantics, programming languages, probabilistic process algebras, modal and dynamic logics and Markov transition systems. Using motivations, rigorous definitions, proofs and various examples, the author systematically introduces the Axiom of Choice, explains Banach-Mazur games and the Axiom of Determinacy, discusses the basic constructions of sets and the interplay of coalgebras and Kripke models for modal logics with an emphasis on Kleisli categories, monads and probabilistic systems. The text further shows various ways of defining topologies, building on selected topics like uniform spaces, Gödel’s Completeness Theorem and topological systems. Finally, measurability, general integration, Borel sets and measures on Polish spaces, as well as the coalgebraic side of Markov transition kernels along with applications to probabilistic interpretations of modal logics are presented. Special emphasis is given to the integration of (co-)algebraic and measure-theoretic structures, a fairly new and exciting field, which is demonstrated through the interpretation of game logics. Readers familiar with basic mathematical structures like groups, Boolean algebras and elementary calculus including mathematical induction will discover a wealth of useful research tools. Throughout the book, exercises offer additional information, and case studies give examples of how the techniques can be applied in diverse areas of theoretical computer science and logics. References to the relevant mathematical literature enable the reader to find the original works and classical treatises, while the bibliographic notes at the end of each chapter provide further insights and discussions of alternative approaches.

Formalising Jurisprudence

Festschrift for Hajime Yoshino

By: Friedrich Lachmayer,Erich Schweighofer,Michal Araszkiewicz,Marijan Pavcnik

Hajime Yoshino ist seit den Siebzigerjahren ein maßgeblicher Protagonist der Rechtslogik und der Rechtsinformatik in Japan. Der Gelehrtencommunity um Herbert Fiedler, Arthur Kaufmann, Ulrich Klug, Lothar Philipps, Jürgen Rödig, Ilmar Tammelo und Ota Weinberger entstammend, hat er sich unermüdlich für die Anwendung der Logik in der Rechtswissenschaft eingesetzt und damit auch den Weg für die Rechtsinformatik mitbereitet. Sein Anliegen, das er in der "Logischen Jurisprudenz" zusammengefasst hat, ist Auftrag und Zeichen, die formalen Wurzeln der Rechtswissenschaft im Übergangsfeld zur Rechtsinformatik weiterhin zu verstärken und auszubauen. Professor Hajime Yoshino ist eine angenehme und humorvolle Persönlichkeit. Es ist ein Privilegium, ihn treffen zu können. Er regt die Diskussionen an und wirkt integrativ. Im Zuge der Gestaltung dieses Sammelbandes wurde erneut deutlich, dass es in der wissenschaftlichen Praxis nicht nur um den Kernbereich der Anwendung der formalen Logik geht, sondern dass das Wort "Formalisierung" ein weiteres Feld beschreibt, das – der Avantgarde zugeordnet – durch explizite Strukturierungen eine intellektuelle Durchdringung des Rechtes und seines Umfeldes aufbereitet. Die Vielzahl der in diesem Sammelband behandelten Themen gruppiert sich in unterschiedlicher Intensität um Yoshinos Anliegen einer Rechtswissenschaft, in welcher der Logik und dem formalen Denken ein grundlegender Stellenwert zukommt.
