The Criminal Baroque

Lawbreaking, Peacekeeping, and Theatricality in Early Modern Spain

By: Ted Lars Lennard Bergman

TEMPORARY Bergman looks at the representation of criminals in early modern Spanish theatre and the connection between criminality, the portrayal of criminal heroes on stage, and public displays of law enforcement within and outside the playhouse. His main purpose is to see to how Baroque spectacle (a term of art in theatre that refers to a particular event, often in expressions of popular culture) appears either to align itself, work against, or be independent of the social means of control of the day. His main argument is that that the propaganda power of early modern Spanish spectacle has been vastly overstated. Ted L. L. Bergman is a Lecturer in Spanish, University of St Andrews.

Biology of the Ubiquitous House Sparrow

From Genes to Populations

By: Ted R. Anderson

After the chicken, the House Sparrow is the most widely distributed bird species in the world, occurring on all continents except Antarctica and on most human-inhabited islands. Although its Latin name is Passer domesticus, it is certainly not domesticated. In fact, it is widely regarded as a pest species and is consequently not protected in most of its extensive range. This combination of ubiquity and minimal legal protection has contributed to its wide use in studies by avian biologists throughout the world. The purpose of this book is to review and summarize the results of these global studies on House Sparrows, and to provide a springboard for future studies on the species. House Sparrows have been used to study natural selection in introduced species, circadian rhythms, and the neuroendocrine control of the avian annual cycle. One current question of considerable interest concerns the catastrophic House Sparrow population declines in several urban centers in Europe. Is the House Sparrow a contemporary canary in the mine? Other topics of broad interest include the reproductive and flock-foraging strategies of sparrows, and sexual selection and the function of the male badge in the species. Anderson also explores the role of the House Sparrow in disease transmission to humans and their domesticated animals.

C++ Programming with CORBA?

By: Andreas Vogel,Bhaskar Vasudevan,Maira Benjamin,Ted Villalba

Giving C++ programmers the skills to succeed in today's CORBA-driven enterprise computing environment. Though a C++-to-CORBA interface does exist, no books on CORBA provide more than a spattering of examples in C++-until now. This guide satisfies the legions of C++ programmers craving the knowledge to enhance their programming skills. After concise overviews of CORBA and C++ object request brokers (ORBs), readers will learn how to synthesize it all and build complete C++ applications. Best of all, the authors help programmers demystify the complex new C++ language binding technology, a vital step in mastering this new platform. Offering industrial strength techniques for programming pros, this nuts-and-bolts guide includes plenty of real-world business examples with complete code for working applications. Companion Web site includes ready-to-run source code examples and sample ORBs.
