Slave Girl, this new series is a comprehensive collection of our
intellectual history through the words of the exceptional few.
Originating in approximately 380 BC, Republic is a Socratic
dialogue written by famed Greek philosopher Plato. Often referred
to as Plato's masterwork, Republic's central goal is to define the
ideal state. By conceptualizing this model state, Greeks believed
it would lead states formed with its principles in mind to function
the most efficiently and fairly, striving toward justice and the
greater good of society. This edition includes a foreword by
British American philosopher and Plato expert Simon Blackburn.
Widely read around the world by philosophy students and academics
alike, Plato's Republic is sure to pass on its invaluable lessons
and enlighten the next generation of thinkers.

Is the first to present the historic background and numerous case
studies on Moebius topology in mathematics, astronomy, chemistry,
molecular medicine, physics and nanomaterials, literature, arts,
and architecture Covers research on Moebius strip
topology-controlled nanodevices for use in chemistry, biology,
physics, and material sciences, including aspects from modern
computer simulations for molecular design and engineering
Highlights case studies on Moebius topology from the 18th-19th
century up to the present years, taking examples from Europe,
America, Australia, and Asia Reports on how drug-delivery
techniques can be revolutionized through the development of
topologically protected ring-shaped nanoproteins, such as
Moebius-type cyclotides; the structural stability of such
bioengineered nanodevices allows for better drug transport across
the blood-brain barrier Reports on the spectacular modern
architecture of buildings and bridges inspired by Moebius strip
topology in Berlin, Amsterdam, Beijing, and Changsha Is richly
illustrated with excellent figures to accompany each chapter and
section Is authored by internationally renowned researchers in the
field of magnetic resonance spectroscopy on complex (bio)chemical
systems
The Symposium is Plato's dramatic masterpiece, his most perfect
work and arguably his most seminal dialogue. Its influence on the
minds of Europe, from Plotinus to Proust, is everywhere in
evidence. Yet today when we talk of Platonic love we are not near
Plato's conception. This translation aims to recover the sense of
Plato's original idea.
