Roman Monarchy and the Renaissance Prince offers a systematic reconstruction of the pre-humanist and humanist history of the genre of political reflection known as the mirror-for-princes tradition - a tradition which, as Stacey shows, is indebted to Seneca's speculum above all other classical accounts of the virtuous prince - and culminates with a comprehensive and controversial reading of the greatest work of renaissance political theory, Machiavelli's The Prince. Peter Stacey brings to light a story which has been lost from view in recent accounts of the Renaissance debt to classical antiquity, providing a radically revisionist account of the history of the Renaissance prince. ![]() Robust Control Design for Active Driver Assistance Systems: A Linear-Parameter-Varying Approach by Péter Gáspár English | PDF,EPUB | 2017 | 298 Pages | ISBN : 3319461249 | 15.8 MB This monograph focuses on control methods that influence vehicle dynamics to assist the driver in enhancing passenger comfort, road holding, efficiency and safety of transport, etc., while maintaining the driver's ability to override that assistance ![]() Richard J. Hill, "Robert Louis Stevenson and the Pictorial Text: A Case Study in the Victorian Illustrated Novel " English | ISBN: 1472414225 | 2016 | 234 pages | PDF | 9 MB Robert Louis Stevenson and the Pictorial Text explores the genesis, production and the critical appreciation of the illustrations to the fiction of Robert Louis Stevenson. Stevenson is one of the most copied and interpreted authors of the late nineteenth century, especially his novels Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. These interpretations began with the illustration of his texts in their early editions, often with Stevenson's express consent, and this book traces Stevenson's understanding and critical responses to the artists employed to illustrate his texts. In doing so, it attempts to position Stevenson as an important thinker and writer on the subject of illustrated literature, and on the marriage of literature and visual arts, at a moment preceding the dawn of cinema, and the rejection of such popular tropes by modernist writers of the early twentieth century. ![]() Helen Hills, "Representing Emotions: New Connections in the Histories of Art, Music and Medicine" English | ISBN: 0754630587 | 2005 | 256 pages | PDF | 7 MB Juxtaposing artistic and musical representations of the emotions with medical, philosophical and scientific texts in Western culture between the Renaissance and the twentieth century, the essays collected in this volume explore the ways in which emotions have been variously conceived, configured, represented and harnessed in relation to broader discourses of control, excess and refinement. Since the essays explore the interstices between disciplines (e.g. music and medicine, history of art and philosophy) and thereby disrupt established frameworks within the histories of art, music and medicine, traditional narrative accounts are challenged. Here larger historical forces come into perspective, as these papers suggest how both artistic and scientific representations of the emotions have been put to use in political, social and religious struggles, at a variety of different levels. ![]() Representation Theory of Finite Monoids by Benjamin Steinberg English | EPUB | 2016 | 324 Pages | ISBN : 3319439308 | 3.8 MB This first text on the subject provides a comprehensive introduction to the representation theory of finite monoids.

O'Callaghan, "Reconquest and Crusade in Medieval Spain " English | ISBN: 0812218892 | 2004 | 344 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 17 MB Drawing from both Christian and Islamic sources, Reconquest and Crusade in Medieval Spain demonstrates that the clash of arms between Christians and Muslims in the Iberian peninsula that began in the early eighth century was transformed into a crusade by the papacy during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Successive popes accorded to Christian warriors willing to participate in the peninsular wars against Islam the same crusading benefits offered to those going to the Holy Land. Joseph F. O'Callaghan clearly demonstrates that any study of the history of the crusades must take a broader view of the Mediterranean to include medieval Spain. ![]() Recent Advances in Mechanical Engineering: Select Proceedings of ITME 2019 by Mohammad Muzammil English | PDF | 2021 | 702 Pages | ISBN : 9811587035 | 28.4 MB This book presents selected peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Conference on Innovative Technologies in Mechanical Engineering (ITME) 2019.
