The Armenian History attributed to Sebeos is one of the major works
of early Armenian historiography. It traces the fortunes of Armenia
in the sixth and seventh centuries within the broader context of
the time, including the reign of Khosrov II (589-628) and the early
Muslim expansion.
This is the first English translation of the modern critical
edition of the Armenian text. The historical commentary compares
Sebeos's account with other available sources and highlights the
particular value of this Armenian witness to the momentous events
of his time.
This book will appeal to all those interested in Armenia, the
Caucasus, the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Middle East in late
antiquity. It will be of particular value to Islamicists, since
Sebeos not only sets the scene for the coming of Islam but also
provides the only substantial non-Muslim account of the initial
period of expansion. The notes are specifically aimed at the reader
unfamiliar with Armenian; with the maps and appendices they will
guide the nonspecialist through the complexities of Armenian
society and the intricacies of family politics.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 11th International
Conference on Social, Cultural, and Behavioral Modeling, SBP-BRiMS
2018, held in Washington, DC, USA, in July 2018. The total of 27
short and 18 full papers presented in this volume was carefully
reviewed and selected from 85 submissions. The contributions were
organized in topical sections named: advances in sociocultural and
behavioral process modeling; information, systems, and network
science; applications for health and well-being; military and
intelligence applications; cybersecurity.
The field of ultrafast nonlinear optics is broad and
multidisciplinary, and encompasses areas concerned with both the
generation and measurement of ultrashort pulses of light, as well
as those concerned with the applications of such pulses. Ultrashort
pulses are extreme events - both in terms of their durations, and
also the high peak powers which their short durations can
facilitate. These extreme properties make them powerful experiment
tools. On one hand, their ultrashort durations facilitate the
probing and manipulation of matter on incredibly short timescales.
On the other, their ultrashort durations can facilitate high peak
powers which can drive highly nonlinear light-matter interaction
processes. Ultrafast Nonlinear Optics covers a complete range of
topics, both applied and fundamental in nature, within the area of
ultrafast nonlinear optics. Chapters 1 to 4 are concerned with the
generation and measurement of ultrashort pulses. Chapters 5 to 7
are concerned with fundamental applications of ultrashort pulses in
metrology and quantum control. Chapters 8 and 9 are concerned with
ultrafast nonlinear optics in optical fibres. Chapters 10 to 13 are
concerned with the applications of ultrashort pulses in areas such
as particle acceleration, microscopy, and micromachining. The
chapters are aimed at graduate-student level and are intended to
provide the student with an accessible, self-contained and
comprehensive gateway into each subject.
