Francis of Assisi Yale University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In this towering work, Andre Vauchez draws on the vast body of scholarship on Francis of Assisi, emphasizing in particular the important research of the last 30 years. He creates a complete and engaging portrait of the saint, then explores how the memory of Francis was shaped by contemporaries who recollected him in their writings. Vauchez completes the book by setting "Poverello" in the context of his times, bringing to light what was new, surprising, even astonishing in the life and vision of this man. The first part of the book is a fascinating reconstruction of Francis' life and work. The second and third parts deal with the myriad texts - hagiographies, chronicles, sermons, personal testimonies - of writers who recorded aspects of Francis' life and movement as they remembered them, thus constructing his "memory" for future generations. In the final part of the book, Vauchez explores those aspects of Francis' life, personality and spiritual vision that were unique to him, including his experience of God, his approach to nature, his understanding and use of Scripture, and his impact on culture as well as culture's impact upon him.

Descartes' Metaphysical Physics The University of Chicago Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In this first book-length treatment of Descartes' important and influential natural philosophy, Daniel Garber is principally concerned with Descartes' accounts of matter and motion--the joint between Descartes' philosophical and scientific interests. These accounts constitute the point at which the metaphysical doctrines on God, the soul, and body, developed in writings like the Meditations, give rise to physical conclusions regarding atoms, vacua, and the laws that matter in motion must obey. Garber achieves a philosophically rigorous reading of Descartes that is sensitive to the historical and intellectual context in which he wrote. What emerges is a novel view of this familiar figure, at once unexpected and truer to the historical Descartes. The book begins with a discussion of Descartes' intellectual development and the larger project that frames his natural philosophy, the complete reform of all the sciences. After this introduction Garber thoroughly examines various aspects of Descartes' physics: the notion of body and its identification with extension; Descartes' rejection of the substantial forms of the scholastics; his relation to the atomistic tradition of atoms and the void; the concept of motion and the laws of motion, including Descartes' conservation principle, his laws of the persistence of motion, and his collision law; and the grounding of his laws in God.

Mathematical Physics Springer International Publishing AG

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

The goal of this book is to expose the reader to the indispensable role that mathematics---often very abstract---plays in modern physics. Starting with the notion of vector spaces, the first half of the book develops topics as diverse as algebras, classical orthogonal polynomials, Fourier analysis, complex analysis, differential and integral equations, operator theory, and multi-dimensional Green's functions. The second half of the book introduces groups, manifolds, Lie groups and their representations, Clifford algebras and their representations, and fiber bundles and their applications to differential geometry and gauge theories.§This second edition is a substantial revision of the first one with a complete rewriting of many chapters and the addition of new ones, including chapters on algebras, representation of Clifford algebras and spinors, fiber bundles, and gauge theories. The spirit of the first edition, namely the balance between rigor and physical application, has been maintained, as is the abundance of historical notes and worked out examples that demonstrate the "unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics" in modern physics.§Einstein has famously said, "The most incomprehensible thing about nature is that it is comprehensible." What he had in mind was reiterated in another one of his famous quotes concerning the question of how " ... mathematics, being after all a product of human thought, is so admirably appropriate to the objects of reality." It is a question that comes to everyone's mind when encountering the highly abstract mathematics required for a deep understanding of modern physics. It is the experience that Eugene Wigner so profoundly described as "the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences."§Some praise for the previous edition:§PAGEOPH [Pure and Applied Geophysics]§Review by Daniel Wojcik, University of Maryland§"This volume should be a welcome addition to any collection. The book is well written and explanations are usually clear. Lives of famous mathematicians and physicists are scattered within the book. They are quite extended, often amusing, making nice interludes. Numerous exercises help the student practice the methods introduced. I have recently been using this book for an extended time and acquired a liking for it. Among all the available books treating mathematical methods of physics this one certainly stands out and assuredly it would suit the needs of many physics readers."§ZENTRALBLATT MATH§Review by G.Roepstorff, University of Aachen, Germany§" Unlike most existing texts with the same emphasis and audience, which are merely collections of facts and formulas, the present book is more systematic, self-contained, with a level of presentation that tends to be more formal and abstract. This entails proving a large number of theorems, lemmas, and corollaries, deferring most of the applications that physics students might be interested in to the example sections in small print. Indeed, there are 350 worked-out examples and about 850 problems. A very nice feature is the way the author intertwines the formalism with the life stories and anecdotes of some mathematicians and physicists, leading at their times. As is often the case, the historical view point helps to understand and appreciate the ideas presented in the text. For the physics student in the middle of his training, it will certainly prove to be extremely useful." §THE PHYSICIST §Review by Paul Davies, Orion Productions, Adelaide, Australia§"I am pleased to have so many topics collected in a single volume. All the tricks are there of course, but supported by sufficient rigour and substantiation to make the dedicated mathematical physicist sigh with delight."§EMS [EUROPEAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY] NEWSLETTER§"This book is a condensed exposition of the mathematics that is met in most parts of physics. The presentation attains a very good balance between the formal introduction of concepts, theorems and pr

Triumph Motorcycle Restoration Wolfgang Publications

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Triumph Motorcycle Restoration - Pre-Unit, takes a thorough look at what is required to restore a Triumph 650cc twin built before 1963. The book includes two, start-to-finish restorations: one done on a 1959 Bonneville and the other on a 1956 TR6. Hands-on sequences make up the heart of this book. Abundant color photographs show the complete assembly of both bikes, from installation of the swingarm and chassis parts to the attachment of the fenders and gas tank. Author and experienced Triumph mechanic, Garry Chitwood, explains the right and wrong way to assemble these bikes, and the little things that separate an amateur rebuild from a proper and award winning restoration.More than just a motorcycle assembly manual, Triumph Motorcycle Restoration, includes the overhaul and assembly of a 650cc twin engine, and the four-speed transmission. Both operations are explained and illustrated from beginning to end.Rather than try and explain the minute differences that separate different models and years, the new Triumph Motorcycle Restoration - Pre-Unit book offers a series of color plates in the middle of the book that provide left and right side views of most of the significant models sold in the 1950s and early 1960s. Triumph Motorcycle Restoration - Pre-Unit, offers the Triumph motorcycle enthusiast 144 pages and over 450 photos explaining how to buy, build and restore a Triumph 650cc twin manufactured before 1963.
