First Published in 1987. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
This first volume in the Harvard Semitic Monographs series
challenges many of the standard positions that have long been held
concerning the Greek and Hebrew texts of the Books of Kings. The
author's personal examination of the Qumran Hebrew manuscripts,
published and unpublished, has led to a new understanding of the
recensional development of the Greek text. His study contributes
significantly to the methodology of modern textual criticism and
the evaluation of historical sources in the Old Testament.
Examining the parallel development of the Greek text and the
Hebrew, the author attributes the chronological discrepancy between
the oldest Greek text forms and the Masoretic text to a change from
the chronological system found in the Hebrew "Vorlagen" of the Old
Greek and proto-Lucian texts to the newer system of the Masoretic
text. The greatest difference between the two systems is found in
the period from Omri to Jehu, where the pattern of regional
formulae is worked into the narratives concerning Elijah and
Elisha. The author concludes that the reason for the change to the
newer Masoretic system was the desire to be able, from a
chronological viewpoint, to identify Jehoshaphat as the King of
Judah in the narrative of the Moabite campaign, an identification
that was not possible in the older Greek chronology.
The simplest method of transferring data through the inputs or
outputs of a silicon chip is to directly connect each bit of the
datapath from one chip to the next chip. Once upon a time this was
an acceptable approach. However, one aspect (and perhaps the only
aspect) of chip design which has not changed during the career of
the authors is Moore's Law, which has dictated substantial
increases in the number of circuits that can be manufactured on a
chip. The pin densities of chip packaging technologies have not
increased at the same pace as has silicon density, and this has led
to a prevalence of High Speed Serdes (HSS) devices as an inherent
part of almost any chip design. HSS devices are the dominant form
of input/output for many (if not most) high-integration chips,
moving serial data between chips at speeds up to 10 Gbps and
beyond. Chip designers with a background in digital logic design
tend to view HSS devices as simply complex digital input/output
cells. This view ignores the complexity associated with serially
moving billions of bits of data per second. At these data rates,
the assumptions associated with digital signals break down and
analog factors demand consideration. The chip designer who
oversimplifies the problem does so at his or her own peril.

Written by a team of veteran scholars and exciting emerging
talents, The SAGE Handbook of Film Studies maps the field
internationally, drawing out regional differences in the way that
systematic intellectual reflection on cinema and film has been
translated into an academic discipline. It examines the
conversations between Film Studies and its contributory disciplines
that not only defined a new field of discourse but also modified
existing scholarly traditions. It reflects on the field's dominant
paradigms and debates and evaluates their continuing salience.
Finally, it looks forward optimistically to the future of the
medium of film, the institution of cinema and the discipline of
Film Studies at a time when the very existence of film and cinema
are being called into question by new technological, industrial and
aesthetic developments.
