Ravenna : Capital of Empire, Crucible of Europe (9780691153438)



A riveting history of the city that led the West out of the ruins of the Roman Empire

At the end of the fourth century, as the power of Rome faded and Constantinople became the seat of empire, a new capital city was rising in the West. Here, in Ravenna on the coast of Italy, Arian Goths and Catholic Romans competed to produce an unrivaled concentration of buildings and astonishing mosaics. For three centuries, the city attracted scholars, lawyers, craftsmen, and religious luminaries, becoming a true cultural and political capital. Bringing this extraordinary history marvelously to life, Judith Herrin rewrites the history of East and West in the Mediterranean world before the rise of Islam and shows how, thanks to Byzantine influence, Ravenna played a crucial role in the development of medieval Christendom.

Drawing on deep, original research, Herrin tells the personal stories of Ravenna while setting them in a sweeping synthesis of Mediterranean and Christian history. She narrates the lives of the Empress Galla Placidia and the Gothic king Theoderic and describes the achievements of an amazing cosmographer and a doctor who revived Greek medical knowledge in Italy, demolishing the idea that the West just descended into the medieval "Dark Ages."

Beautifully illustrated and drawing on the latest archaeological findings, this monumental book provides a bold new interpretation of Ravenna's lasting influence on the culture of Europe and the West.

Lectures on the Hyperreals : An Introduction to Nonstandard Analysis (9781461268413)

An introduction to nonstandard analysis based on a course given by the author. It is suitable for beginning graduates or upper undergraduates, or for self-study by anyone familiar with elementary real analysis. It presents nonstandard analysis not just as a theory about infinitely small and large numbers, but as a radically different way of viewing many standard mathematical concepts and constructions. It is a source of new ideas, objects and proofs, and a wealth of powerful new principles of reasoning. The book begins with the ultrapower construction of hyperreal number systems, and proceeds to develop one-variable calculus, analysis and topology from the nonstandard perspective. It then sets out the theory of enlargements of fragments of the mathematical universe, providing a foundation for the full-scale development of the nonstandard methodology. The final chapters apply this to a number of topics, including Loeb measure theory and its relation to Lebesgue measure on the real line....

Estoicismo y dureza mental : Descubre los secretos psicologicos de la filosofia estoica en la vida moderna. Construir una autodisciplina inquebrantable y habitos diarios que garanticen el exito (9781989779309)

"Aquí un extracto de "Estoicismo y dureza mental" Durante la antigüedad surgieron un alto número de escuelas filosóficas, muchas de ellas aportaron grandes ideas de progresos para la humanidad de impacto tan relevante que aun en la actualidad muchos de esos pensamientos siguen vigentes, tal es el caso de la escuela de filosofía estoica, esta que se creyó desaparecida para los primeros siglos de la era presente, y pese a la realidad, que los registros literarios no son en cuantía, su pensamiento ha evolucionado con el paso de los años, y en pleno siglo XXI se está viviendo uno de los momentos más importantes del posible resurgimiento de esta sistema filosófico. En medio de la convulsión social que estamos atravesando en el mundo moderno, muchos han recurrido a ciertas escuelas de pensamientos cuyas teorías podrían generar la salvación que nuestra sociedad moderna requiere, por cierto, el estoicismo, cuyo valor principal para una sociedad como la moderna es el manejo adecu...
