Practical Predestinarians in England, c. 1590–1640

By: Leif Dixon

The belief that God eternally and unalterably decrees the election of one part of humankind and the reprobation of the rest has not aged well, but in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the doctrine of predestination was publicised and popularised to an extent unparalleled in the history of Christianity. Why was this? How successfully was the doctrine able to mix with other ideas, and to what effect? And did belief in predestination encourage confidence or despair? Practical Predestinarians is a study of the ways in which the doctrine of predestination was understood and communicated by churchmen in late Tudor and early Stuart England. It connects with debates about the 'popularity' of Protestantism during England's 'long reformation', as well as with the question of whether predestination tended toward inclusive or divisive, and conformist or subversive, applications. Intersecting with recent debates about the popular reception of Protestant preaching, this book focusses upon the pastoral message itself - it is therefore an investigation into the public face of English Calvinism.

Crucible of Freedom

Workers' Democracy in the Industrial Heartland, 1914–1960

By: Eric Leif Davin

This book explores the relation between democracy and industrialization in United States history. Over the course of the 1930s, the political center almost disappeared as the Democratic New Deal became the litmus test of class, with blue collar workers providing its bedrock of support while white collar workers and those in the upper-income levels opposed it. By 1948 the class cleavage in American politics was as pronounced as in many of the Western European countries-such as France, Italy, Germany, or Britain-with which we usually associate class politics. Working people created a new America in the 1930s and 1940s which was a fundamental departure from the feudalistic and hierarchical America that existed before. They won the political rights of American citizenship which had been previously denied them. They democratized labor-capital relations and gained more economic security than they had ever known. They obtained more economic opportunity for them and their children than they had ever known and they created a respect for ethnic workers, which had not previously existed. In the process, class politics re-defined the political agenda of America as-for the first time in American history-the political universe polarized along class lines. Eric Leif Davin explores the meaning of the New Deal political mobilization by ordinary people by examining the changes it brought to the local, county, and state levels in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, and Pennsylvania as a whole.

Theoretical Biochemistry

Processes and Properties of Biological Systems

By: Leif A. Eriksson

Theoretical chemistry has been an area of tremendous expansion and development over the past decade; from an approach where we were able to treat only a few atoms quantum mechanically or make fairly crude molecular dynamics simulations, into a discipline with an accuracy and predictive power that has rendered it an essential complementary tool to experiment in basically all areas of science. This volume gives a flavour of the types of problems in biochemistry that theoretical calculations can solve at present, and illustrates the tremendous predictive power these approaches possess.A wide range of computational approaches, from classical MD and Monte Carlo methods, via semi-empirical and DFT approaches on isolated model systems, to Car-Parinello QM-MD and novel hybrid QM/MM studies are covered. The systems investigated also cover a broad range; from membrane-bound proteins to various types of enzymatic reactions as well as inhibitor studies, cofactor properties, solvent effects, transcription and radiation damage to DNA.

So Brave, Young, and Handsome

By: Leif Enger

“An almost perfect novel” of yearning, adventure, and redemption in the dying days of the Old West from the bestselling author of Peace Like a River (St. Louis Post-Dispatch). Minnesota, 1915. With success long behind him, writer, husband, and father Monte Becket has lost his sense of purpose . . . until he befriends outlaw Glendon Hale. Plagued by guilt over abandoning his wife two decades ago, Hale is heading back West in search of absolution. And he could use some company on the journey. As the modern age marches swiftly forward, Becket agrees to travel into Hale’s past, leaving behind his own family for an adventure that will test the depth of his loyalties and morals, and the strength of his resolve. As they flee the relentless former Pinkerton Detective who’s been hunting Hale for years, Becket falls ever further into the life of an outlaw—perhaps to the point of no return. With its smooth mix of romanticism and gritty reality, So Brave, Young, and Handsome examines one ordinary man’s determination to risk everything in order to understand what it’s all worth, in “an old-fashioned, swashbuckling, heroic Western . . . [An] adventure of the heart and mind (The Washington Post Book World).

More Coast Left Past

Volume Two

By: Gabriel Leif Bellman

More Coast Left Past (Volume Two) is part two of a collection of over 200 early stories written on the West (left) Coast. They represent the final bunching of stories written before the author's move to New York. They are flash fictions, rants, ants wearing grandmother-pants, beer covered sailors asking you to dance. Together, they present a myriad kaleidoscope of keyboard prowess and scribbling duress. More Coast is a strength and breadth of work that is astonishing, invigorating, and debilitating. For those of you wishing to finish what you started with Volume One, or for the newly ensconced, Volume Two invites you to mid-life-crisis your way into ecclesiastical eclecticism as the world lies bleeding while you start reading...

Zomaya, Series Editors Wide coverage of traditional unsupervised and supervised methods and newer contemporary approaches that help researchers handle the rapid growth of classification methods in DNA microarray studies Proliferating classification methods in DNA microarray studies have resulted in a body of information scattered throughout literature, conference proceedings, and elsewhere. This book unites many of these classification methods in a single volume. In addition to traditional statistical methods, it covers newer machine-learning approaches such as fuzzy methods, artificial neural networks, evolutionary-based genetic algorithms, support vector machines, swarm intelligence involving particle swarm optimization, and more. Classification Analysis of DNA Microarrays provides highly detailed pseudo-code and rich, graphical programming features, plus ready-to-run source code. Along with primary methods that include traditional and contemporary classification, it offers supplementary tools and data preparation routines for standardization and fuzzification; dimensional reduction via crisp and fuzzy c-means, PCA, and non-linear manifold learning; and computational linguistics via text analytics and n-gram analysis, recursive feature extraction during ANN, kernel-based methods, ensemble classifier fusion. This powerful new resource: Provides information on the use of classification analysis for DNA microarrays used for large-scale high-throughput transcriptional studies Serves as a historical repository of general use supervised classification methods as well as newer contemporary methods Brings the reader quickly up to speed on the various classification methods by implementing the programming pseudo-code and source code provided in the book Describes implementation methods that help shorten discovery times Classification Analysis of DNA Microarrays is useful for professionals and graduate students in computer science, bioinformatics, biostatistics, systems biology, and many related fields.

Flatbush Fiction

Short Stories

By: Gabriel Leif Bellman

Written with quills on the backs of eighteen-thousand fortune cookie fortunes and then taped together, FLATBUSH FICTION is written with the intensity of a staring contest, the passion of a maraschino cherry, and the lucidity of a monk achieving consciousness on his deathbed lying on top of Curious George sheets. With some of the same words as the Bible, the Talmud, and the Koran, FLATBUSH FICTION is sure to inspire fanaticism and prayer among one or two people. From a parody of Lolita to a story about dancing naked with monkeys, the stories contained here can be wadded up into bottles and sent out to sea. Inventive, exciting, funny, poignant, this thick book might very well be in your shirt pocket when you go back in time and take a bullet from Jesse James. In short: this book can save your life.

Siege Warfare and Military Organization in the Successor States (400-800 AD)

Byzantium, the West and Islam

By: Leif Inge Ree Petersen

Siege Warfare and Military Organization in the Successor States is the first study to comprehensively treat an aspect of Byzantine, Western, early Islamic, Slavic and Steppe military history within the framework of common descent from Roman military organization to 800 AD. This not only encompassed the army proper, but also a greater complex of client management, private military retinues, labor obligations and civilian conscription in urban defense that were systematically developed by the Romans around 400, and survived to be adopted and adapted by all successors. The result was a common post-Roman military culture suitable for more restrained economic circumstances but still able to maintain, defend and attack city walls with skills rivalling those of their Roman forebears.
