Slavery, Disease and Suffering in the Southern Lowcountry

Fri, 16 Jan 2026 19:12:20 +0000

Slavery, Disease, and Suffering in the Southern Lowcountry by Peter McCandless examines the Carolina lowcountry on the eve of the American Revolution, revealing it as British North America’s wealthiest yet unhealthiest region. The book argues that extreme wealth from rice cultivation and profound human suffering through slavery and rampant diseases were deeply interconnected, driven by the environmental and labor demands of rice production. McCandless vividly portrays how fevers, malaria, and other illnesses devastated enslaved Africans, white planters, merchants, soldiers, and Native Americans alike, shaping the social, economic, and epidemiological history of the area.

Spatial Analysis in Archaeology (New Studies in Archaeology)

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 18:24:01 +0000

This 1976 text is a pioneering study in the applications to archaeology of modern statistical and quantitative techniques. The authors show how these techniques, when sensitively employed, can dramatically extend and refine the information presented in distribution maps and other analyses of spatial relationships. Techniques of interpretation ‘by inspection’ can now be made more powerful and rigorous; at the same time interest has turned from the examination of such sites and artefacts as ‘things’ to the spatial relationships between such things, their relationships to one another and to landscape features, soils and other resources. This book was the first to apply the available techniques systematically to the special problems and interests of archaeologists. It also demonstrates to geographers and other social scientists who may be familiar with analogous applications in their own fields the exciting interdisciplinary developments this facilitates, for example in studies of exchange networks, trade and settlement patterns, and cultural history.

Dynamical Systems and Fractals – Computer Graphic Experiments in Pascal

Fri, 04 Jul 2025 18:20:39 +0000

Ostali autori: Michael Dörfler Opis: This study of chaos, fractals and complex dynamics is intended for anyone familiar with computers. While keeping the mathematics to a simple level with few formulas, the reader is introduced to an area of current scientific research that was scarcely possible until the availability of computers. The book is divided into two main parts; the first provides the most interesting problems, each with a solution in a computer program format. Numerous exercises enable the reader to conduct his or her own experimental work. The second part provides sample programs for specific machine and operating systems; details refer to IBM-PC with MS-DOS and Turbo-Pascal, UNIX 42BSD with Berkeley Pascal and C. Other implementations of the graphics routines are given for the Apple Macintosh, Apple IIE and IIGS and Atari ST.

Disraeli: A Brief Life

Wed, 09 Oct 2024 17:46:33 +0000

In this fresh account of Benjamin Disraeli’s life, Paul Smith looks at his unique character as a fusion of Jewishness and Anglicanism, outsider and insider, nationalist and European, Romantic and Tory; and shows how this formed his appeal as an original and a card, the most piquant joker in the pack, a faintly raffish outsider who scaled the highest peaks of public life.

A Primer of Analytic Number Theory: From Pythagoras to Riemann

Fri, 27 Sep 2024 17:28:55 +0000

This undergraduate-level introduction describes those mathematical properties of prime numbers that can be deduced with the tools of calculus. Jeffrey Stopple pays special attention to the rich history of the subject and ancient questions on polygonal numbers, perfect numbers and amicable pairs, as well as to the important open problems. The culmination of the book is a brief presentation of the Riemann zeta function, which determines the distribution of prime numbers, and of the significance of the Riemann Hypothesis.

The English Languages

Thu, 12 Sep 2024 17:56:58 +0000

Hundreds of millions of people use English every day everywhere in the world, but may or may not succeed in understanding each other. Despite the success of its standard form (or forms) in many countries, the complex called English is immensely diverse–probably more diverse than any single language has ever been–and is likely to become even more so in the next century. This book is a compelling and broad-ranging invitation to consider the variety, the options and the implications of this vast system. The English Languages looks at the pluralism of English, the Englishes, that have arisen in the past twenty years or so, and addresses the question of whether or not English can be considered a family of languages in its own right, like the Romance languages.

This book presents a concise, general history of the crusades–whose chief goal was the liberation and preservation of the holy places of the Middle East–from the first calls to arms in the later eleventh century to the fall of the last crusader strongholds in Syria and Palestine in 1291.
