Imagined Battles: Reflections of War in European Art
Peter Paret Manufacturer: The University of North Carolina Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0807823562 Release Date: 1997-08-20 |
Book Description
For thousands of years, art has interpreted the experience of warits methods, human costs, and moral ambiguitiesand has offered historians a wealth of testimony that is only beginning to be systematically explored. In this wide-ranging study, Peter Paret discusses forty-seven paintings and prints as complex documents of war in Europe since the Renaissance and as examples of the artist's use of war as a metaphor for the human condition.The images include works by such major artists as Uccello, Géricault, and Dix as well as academic history paintings and popular prints. By setting each in its historical environment and analyzing it from the perspective of the wars of its time, illuminates the place of war in Western consciousness and expands our understanding of works that are too often approached with little concern for the reality they depict or symbolically transform. Perhaps the most significant of the themes he traces over five centuries is the gradual change from the prince or general to the common soldier and civilian victim as central figures in the interpretation of war in art.

System Modeling and Optimization: Proceedings of the 21st IFIP TC7 Conference held in July 21st - 25th, 2003, Sophia Antipolis, France (IFIP International Federation for Information Processing)
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1402077602 |
Book Description
System Modeling and Optimization is an indispensable reference for anyone interested in the recent advances in these two disciplines. The book collects, for the first time, selected articles from the 21st and most recent IFIP TC 7 conference in Sophia Antipolis, France.
Applied mathematicians and computer scientists can attest to the ever-growing influence of these two subjects. The practical applications of system modeling and optimization can be seen in a number of fields: environmental science, transport and telecommunications, image analysis, free boundary problems, bioscience, and non-cylindrical evolution control, to name just a few.
New developments in each of these fields have contributed to a more complex understanding of both system modeling and optimization. Editors John Cagnol and Jean-Paul Zolésio, chairs of the conference, have assembled System Modeling and Optimization to present the most up-to-date developments to professionals and academics alike.

Teaching and Learning about Science and Society
John M. Ziman Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 052123221X |
Book Description
â~Science, Technology, and Societyâ - STS - has become a major educational theme. There are many courses in schools, universities and other institutions, dealing with all sorts of topics such as the history of science, energy policy, industrial innovation, technology assessment, Third World development, scientific method, and so on. But what is this subject really about? Why shoud it be taught? Who should study it? What should they learn? How should the subject be approached? Who should teach it? These questions are being asked by both teachers and students in many fields of science, engineering, medicine, social studies, and the humanities. This informal account of the rationale of STS education shows how many diverse factors are involved - the philosophy and sociology of science and education, social and cultural objectives, political ideologies, vocational needs, scholarly standards, institutional capabilities etc., not to mention the practical realities of teaching and learning at all levels.
