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.
