Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Roman Catholic faith has inspired some of the world's greatest creative works and has been a powerful force in history from the Roman Empire to the present. Catholic writers reflect their heritage in their works, and generations of readers have continued to appreciate the Catholic literary tradition. Many works by Catholic writers hold a high place in the literary canon and have exerted a tremendous cultural and political influence. Still others continue to be widely read by contemporary readers and quietly shape modern society. Some works, too, reflect the conflicts of the Catholic Church in the 21st century and capture the struggles of individual Catholics in a secular society. This encyclopedia covers the vast riches of the Catholic literary tradition from its origins to the present day. Included are substantial entries on more than 70 major works from around the world. A special effort has been made to cover women writers and writers of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, whose works reflect the many dimensions of the Catholic experience. The encyclopedia provides entries on such writers and works as St. Augustine's Confessions, Catherine of Siena's Dialogue, Dante's The Divine Comedy, Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, and Muriel Spark's Memento Mori. Each entry is written by an expert contributor and includes a biography of the writer, a plot summary of a major work, an extended critical discussion, an overview of the work's critical reception, and a selected bibliography. The entries give detailed attention to particular works and explore their relation to Catholic thought. The encyclopedia concludes with a selected, general bibliography.
Download or read book Big Tradition and Chinese Mythological Studies written by Jiansheng Hu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on reinterpreting mythical China from the perspective of the cultural theory of big tradition. It is divided into two parts: the first explains the theoretical development and features of the Chinese version of big tradition, identifying the differences between the Eastern and Western cultural traditions (big tradition and great tradition). The second part then reinterprets the core values and mythical ideas of Chinese civilization and traditional culture from the perspective of big tradition. Moving beyond the small tradition of text centrism and using new methods and materials, the book reveals the original meaning and the cultural coding function of big tradition during the preliterate period. Drawing on integrated evidence from literature handed down from ancient times, oral and intangible cultural heritage, tangible culture, cross-cultures, image culture and unearthed documents, the book interprets Chinese cultural traditions and spiritual values from local, archaeological, experiential and survival perspectives, to help readers better understand the mythical codes and genes of early Chinese culture.
Download or read book 60 Years Of Yang mills Gauge Field Theories C N Yang s Contributions To Physics written by Lars Brink and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2016-04-21 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last six decades, Yang-Mills theory has increasingly become the cornerstone of theoretical physics. It is seemingly the only fully consistent relativistic quantum many-body theory in four space-time dimensions. As such it is the underlying theoretical framework for the Standard Model of Particle Physics, which has been shown to be the correct theory at the energies we now can measure. It has been investigated also from many other perspectives, and many new and unexpected features have been uncovered from this theory. In recent decades, apart from high energy physics, the theory has been actively applied in other branches of physics, such as statistical physics, condensed matter physics, nonlinear systems, etc. This makes the theory an indispensable topic for all who are involved in physics.The conference celebrated the exceptional achievements using Yang-Mills theory over the years but also many other truly remarkable contributions to different branches of physics from Prof C N Yang. This volume collects the invaluable talks by Prof C N Yang and the invited speakers reviewing these remarkable contributions and their importance for the future of physics.
Download or read book The Biggest Ideas in the Universe written by Sean Carroll and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “Most appealing... technical accuracy and lightness of tone... Impeccable.”—Wall Street Journal “A porthole into another world.”—Scientific American “Brings science dissemination to a new level.”—Science The most trusted explainer of the most mind-boggling concepts pulls back the veil of mystery that has too long cloaked the most valuable building blocks of modern science. Sean Carroll, with his genius for making complex notions entertaining, presents in his uniquely lucid voice the fundamental ideas informing the modern physics of reality. Physics offers deep insights into the workings of the universe but those insights come in the form of equations that often look like gobbledygook. Sean Carroll shows that they are really like meaningful poems that can help us fly over sierras to discover a miraculous multidimensional landscape alive with radiant giants, warped space-time, and bewilderingly powerful forces. High school calculus is itself a centuries-old marvel as worthy of our gaze as the Mona Lisa. And it may come as a surprise the extent to which all our most cutting-edge ideas about black holes are built on the math calculus enables. No one else could so smoothly guide readers toward grasping the very equation Einstein used to describe his theory of general relativity. In the tradition of the legendary Richard Feynman lectures presented sixty years ago, this book is an inspiring, dazzling introduction to a way of seeing that will resonate across cultural and generational boundaries for many years to come.
Download or read book Adventure Of The Large Hadron Collider The From The Big Bang To The Higgs Boson written by Daniel Denegri and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to the world of quarks and leptons, and of their interactions governed by fundamental symmetries of nature, as well as an introduction to the connection that exists between worlds of the infinitesimally small and the infinitely large.The book begins with a simple presentation of the theoretical framework, the so-called Standard Model, which evolved gradually since the 1960s. The key experiments establishing it as the theory of elementary particle physics, but also its missing pieces and conceptual weaknesses are introduced. The book proceeds with the extraordinary story of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN — the largest purely scientific project ever realized. Conception, design and construction by worldwide collaborations of the detectors of size and complexity without precedent in scientific history are discussed. The book then offers the reader a state-of-the art (2020) appreciation of the depth and breadth of the physics exploration performed by the LHC experiments: the study of new forms of matter, the understanding of symmetry-breaking phenomena at the fundamental level, the exciting searches for new physics such as dark matter, additional space dimensions, new symmetries, and more. The adventure of the LHC culminated in the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 (Nobel Prize in Physics in 2013). The last chapter of this book describes the plans for the LHC during the next 15 years of exploitation and improvement, and the possible evolution of the field and future collider projects under consideration.The authors are researchers from CERN, CEA and CNRS (France), and deeply engaged in the LHC program: D Denegri in the CMS experiment, C Guyot, A Hoecker and L Roos in the ATLAS experiment. Some of them are involved since the inception of the project. They give a lively and accessible inside view of this amazing scientific and human adventure.

This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the ages, every major breakthrough in science and technology has initiated profound changes in productivity and greatly promoted the progress of human civilization. From “language” growing out of interpersonal communication to “currency” coming out of the exchange of goods, as well as the “internet” originating from the profound fusion of “man, machine and the environment,” the development and application of networks contain the great power for “interconnection and shared governance” and point the way for the development of “interplanetary communication and the sustainability of civilization.”Today, the successors of the Chinese School of Systems Engineering are trying to forge the key to world development with systems engineering methods and to plan the ideal formation and new heights of the future world, starting from analyzing a prototype of such a world. They are creating a “community with a shared future for mankind” and providing Chinese wisdom and solutions in the course of realizing “interstellar navigation” and the construction of an “interstellar society.” In addition, they are illuminating the path for future world development with the light of systematic thought!（从古到今，科学技术的每一次重大突破，都会引发生产力的深刻变革，推动人类文明的巨大进步。从人与人交流涌现出“语言”，物与物交换涌现出“货币”，“人、机、环境”深度交融涌现出“互联网”、网络的发展应用，蕴含着“互联互通、共享共治”的巨大力量，昭示着“星际通信、文明永续”的发展逻辑。 今天系统工程中国学派的传承者们尝试从分析世界的原型出发，通过系统工程方法锻铸世界发展的钥匙，擘划未来世界的理想型新高度。构建“人类命运共同体”在实现“星际航行”、构建“星际社会”的奋斗历程中提供中国智慧和中国方案。用系统思想之光照亮未来世界发展的征程！）

Download or read book THE DEVELOPING COURSE OF CHINESE PHILOSOPHY written by Xuezhi Liu and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2024-07-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Developing Course of Chinese Philosophy deals with the thoughts of Chinese philosophers and the historical process of philosophical development from pre-Qin to Ming and Qing dynasties from a new perspective, elaborating the emergence, development, rise, and fall of ancient Chinese philosophy. The book systematically describes the evolution path of Chinese wisdom, revealing the main trends and some basic laws of the theoretical thinking of the Chinese nation. The main contents of this book can be categorized into three aspects. First, the developing course and framework of Chinese philosophy in different periods; second, representatives of Chinese philosophy in different periods and the Zeitgeist, the main viewpoints and methodologies they represent; third, the interrelation and influence of the standpoints of Chinese philosophy in different periods. The Developing Course of Chinese Philosophy can be roughly divided into the philosophy of pre-Qin scholars with the theme of political theory, the cosmology-centered philosophy in Qin and Han dynasties, the metaphysics in Wei and Jin dynasties characterized by ontology, the philosophy of Wei Jin and the Northern and Southern dynasties in the dispute of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the philosophy of Sui and Tang dynasties in Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, and the philosophy of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties with the rise and decline of Neo-Confucianism and the end of ancient Chinese philosophy as the main content. Through detailed elaboration in different chapters, the book highlights the philosophical thoughts, methodologies, and viewpoints of different periods in Chinese history, thus presenting a complete logical system of the historical development and the essence of Chinese philosophy.
