Principles and Applications of Electrical Engineering provides an overview of the electrical engineering discipline specifically geared toward non-electrical engineering students. The hallmark feature of the text is its use of practical applications to illustrate important principles. The applications come from every field of engineering and feature exciting technologies. The principal objective of the book is to present the principles of electrical, electronic, and electromechanical engineering to an audience of engineering majors enrolled in introductory and more advanced or specialized electrical engineering courses. A second objective is to present these principles with a focus on important results and common yet effective analytical and computational tools to solve practical problems. Finally, a third objective of the book is to illustrate, by way of concrete, fully worked examples, a number of relevant applications of electrical engineering. These examples are drawn from the authors' industrial research experience and from ideas contributed by practicing engineers and industrial partners.

This book presents a study of Theophile Gautier's art journalism written during the Second Republic and provides a reassessment of Gautier's importance in French nineteenth-century visual culture. It charts his response to the major art events and debates on Salons.

Following on from " Ce Salon a quoi tout se ramene ": Le Salon de peinture et de sculpture, 1791-1890, published in 2010 as an earlier volume in this series, this volume contains a selection of the papers given at the first major international conference to be held on the post-1789 Paris Fine Art Salon. Hosted by the University of Exeter in September 2013, the conference had its origins in the research project entitled Painting for the Salon? The French State, Artists and Academy, 1830-1852, funded in 2010-2012 by the UK's Arts and Humanities Research Council, and its purpose was to situate findings of this research within the wider framework of the Salon's nineteenth-century history. In this collection of twenty-three papers, fourteen in English, nine in French, established and new scholars of French art history examine the national and international artistic, political and cultural dimensions of the most important regular exhibition of contemporary art in the nineteenth-century world.

The novels published by Isabelle de Charriere before the French Revolution offer a perceptive account of the psychology and the social climate of the late eighteenth century. The anti-Freudian psychoanalysis of the neurologist and psychiatrist Heinz Kohut (1913-81) is used in this study as a means of developing an awareness of the position of the fictional characters. Feminist and Freudian readings of Charriere's novels of the 1780s have stressed the 'closed' deterministic atmosphere of contemporary society; this new study emphasises what can be called the 'modern' side of the novels: patriarchal society and individual needs confront each other and allow the relationships to be seen in a new light. By means of Kohut's notion of 'self-object' a rich insight is gained into the complex relationships described by Isabelle de Charriere.

"Theophile Gautier a envoye avec un feuilleton plus de trois mille personnes dans latelier de M. Ingres," wrote Champfleury in 1848. For artists, critics and readers alike, Gautier was the essential figure in French art journalism in the mid-nineteenth century. During the short-lived but pivotal period of the Second Republic, when the new administration was committed to reforming all the institutions of the fine arts, Gautier deployed the full resources of his brilliant, flexible and authoritative writing to support and direct these developments in ways compatible with his comitment to an idealist aesthetic, itself under growing pressure from alternative trends in an increasingly competitive art market. This first study of all Gautier's art journalism written during the Second Republic provides a long overdue reassessment of Gautier's importance in French nineteenth-century visual culture.

Exposition organisee par l'Etat jusqu'en 1881, grande fete annuelle ou bisannuelle de l'art, le Salon de peinture et de sculpture domine la vie artistique a Paris tout au long du dix-neuvieme siecle. Dans l'historiographie de la modernite artistique, cependant, le role de ce " Salon a quoi tout se ramene " (comme le disait Tabarant dans La Vie artistique au temps de Baudelaire) a trop souvent ete reduit a celui du terrain de bataille ou se sont confrontees " tradition academique " et " nouveaute revolutionnaire ". Les sept etudes que contient ce volume ont donc pour but de restituer au Salon sa veritable dimension historique en analysant des elements essentiels de son organisation, son fonctionnement et sa finalite, dont: son emplacement (au Louvre jusqu'en 1848), ses artistes, ses visiteurs, sa rhetorique et son systeme de recompenses, pour terminer sur les raisons et les consequences de son abandon par l'Etat.

The thirteen essays in this volume, based on selected papers given at the Second Annual Conference of the Society of Dix-Neuviemistes (2003), explore the relationships between symbolic, monetary and literary currencies in nineteenth-century France, Essays focus on the sometimes surprising treatment of capitalism and commodity culture in the works of Mallarme, Zola and Huysmans; the transfer and borrowing of economic and literary commodities, names, and concepts in nineteenth-century culture, from Flora Tristan's July Monarchy to Schwob's fin-de-siecle moment; and the interplay between wealth and identity, and commerce and globalisation, in the writings of Hugo, Janin, and Balzac. While it is widely acknowledged that the theme of money is central to nineteenth-century literature, this volume is innovative in tracing the variation, breadth and ubiquity of the idea of currencies in the cultural imaginary of the epoch.
