Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
This PhD thesis is dedicated to a subfield of elementary particle
physics called "Flavour Physics". The Standard Model of Particle
Physics (SM) has been confirmed by thousands of experimental
measurements with a high precision. But the SM leaves important
questions open, like what is the nature of dark matter or what is
the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. By
comparing high precision Standard Model calculations with extremely
precise measurements, one can find the first glimpses of the
physics beyond the SM - currently we see the first hints of a
potential breakdown of the SM in flavour observables. This can then
be compared with purely theoretical considerations about new
physics models, known as model building. Both precision
calculations and model building are extremely specialised fields
and this outstanding thesis contributes significantly to both
topics within the field of Flavour Physics and sheds new light on
the observed anomalies.
Following in the tradition of the Southern Women series, Arkansas
Women highlights prominent Arkansas women, exploring women's
experiences across time and space from the state's earliest
frontier years to the late twentieth century. In doing so, this
collection of fifteen biographical essays productively complicates
Arkansas history by providing a multidimensional focus on women,
with a particular appreciation for how gendered issues influenced
the historical moment in which they lived. Diverse in nature,
Arkansas Women contains stories about women on the Arkansas
frontier, including the narratives of indigenous women and their
interactions with European men and of bondwomen of African descent
who were forcibly moved to Arkansas from the seaboard South to
labor on cotton plantations. There are also essays about
twentieth-century women who were agents of change in their
communities, such as Hilda Kahlert Cornish and the Arkansas birth
control movement, Adolphine Fletcher Terry's antisegregationist
social activism, and Sue Cowan Morris's Little Rock classroom
teachers' salary equalization suit. Collectively, these
inspirational essays work to acknowledge women's accomplishments
and to further discussions about their contributions to Arkansas's
rich cultural heritage.
This book juxtaposes the experiences of regions that have lived or
are living through industrial transition in coal-mining and
manufacturing centres throughout Europe, opening the way to a
deeper understanding of the intensity of change and of how work
helps shape new identities.
This collection of essays addresses the role of literature in
radical politics. Topics covered include the legacy of Robert
Burns, broadside literature in Munster and radical literature in
Wales.
This is the first title in a new series called Poetry and Song in
the Age of Revolution. This series will appeal to those involved in
English literary studies, as well as those working in fields of
study that cover Enlightenment, Romanticism and Revolution in the
last quarter of the eighteenth century.

Using a huge array of sources from the political, religious,
social, artistic and personal spheres, the story of Cuba, so often
linked with the neighbouring US, is set in its historical context
and rigorously examined. Issues examined include: the Revolution
and upheaval that followed; the Cuban missile crisis; Cuba's
position in COMECON; the rise of Cuba's profile in the 1980s; the
crisis that followed the dismantling of the USSR; Cuba in the C21st
and its future. What has been the price of the Cuban revolutionary
process? And what faces Cuba in the new millennium? Using a huge
array of sources from the political, religious, social, artistic
and personal spheres, the story of Cuba, so often linked with the
neighbouring US, is set in its historical context and rigorously
examined. Issues examined include: the Revolution and upheaval that
followed; the Cuban missile crisis; Cuba's position in COMECON; the
rise of Cuba's profile in the 1980s; the crisis that followed the
dismantling of the USSR; Cuba in the C21st and its future. What has
been the price of the Cuban revolutionary process? And what faces
Cuba in the new millennium? For the last 50 years the story of Cuba
has often drawn the eyes of the world - for its part in the missile
crisis, or its rise within COMECON, or its controversial relations
with other countries. Cuba is seldon out of the news but is always
fascinating. Using a wide variety of sources from the political,
religious, social, artistic and personal spheres, the story of Cuba
is set in its historical context and rigorously examined. Voices
from both sides of the Revolution are heard forcing the reader to
think again about preconceived ideas for or against recent events.
This book examines the reshaping of Cuba following the Revolution,
the Bay of Pigs invasion, Cuba's role in the Cold War, the Mariel
boatlift, the economic rise and fall given by Cuba's membership of
COMECON, the changeability of the ongoing relationship between Cuba
and the US; how Cuba coped with the fall of USSR; the Special
Period of the 1990s and future that Cuba faces in the new
millennium. A wide variety of sources are used including papers
from prominent Cubans on both sides of the Revolutionary debate;
public figures from Malcolm X to Yuri Gagarin to Pope John Paul II;
letters and speeches from politicians ranging from Fidel Castro and
Che Guevara to Nikita Khruschev and Gerald Ford; public and private
materials from private individuals, governments, the CIA and a wide
variety of organisations associated with Cuba. The final chapter
draws together all the information and views given to analyse
Cuba's recent history, its present situation and its possible
future. Issues addressed include Cuba's survival in a
post-communistic landscape, human rights issues, the role of Cuban
exile groups, the relationship between the US and Cuba and the
price paid and benefits derived from the ongoing revolutionary
process.
