Download or read book The Spear the Scroll and the Pebble written by Richard A. Billows and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a powerful new argument for how and why the Greek city-states, including their distinctive society and culture, came to be - and why they had the highly unusual and influential form they took. After reviewing early city-state formation, and the economic underpinnings of city-state society, three key chapters examine the way the Greeks developed their unique society. The spear, scroll and pebble encapsulate the book's core ideas. The Spear: city-state Greeks developed a citizen-militia military system that gave relatively equal importance to each citizen-warrior, thereby emboldening the citizen-warriors to demand political rights. The Pebble: the resultant growth of collective political systems of oligarchy and democracy led to thousands of citizens forming the sovereign element of the state; they made political decisions through communal debate and voting. The Scroll: in order for such systems to function, a shared information base had to be created, and this was done by setting up public notices of laws, proposed policies, public meeting agendas, and a host of other information. To access this information, these military and political citizens had to be able to read. Billows examines the spread of schools and literacy throughout the Greek world, showing that the male city-state Greeks formed the world's first-known mass literate society. He concludes by showing that it was the mass-literate nature of the Greek city-state society that explains the remarkable and influential culture the classical Greeks produced.
Download or read book Pebble in the Sky written by Isaac Asimov and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2010-04-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One moment Joseph Schwartz is a happily retired tailor in Chicago, 1949. The next he's a helpless stranger on Earth during the heyday of the first Galactic Empire. Earth, as he soon learns, is a backwater, just a pebble in the sky, despised by all the other 200 million planets of the Empire because its people dare to claim it's the original home of man. And Earth is poor, with great areas of radioactivity ruining much of its soil--so poor that everyone is sentenced to death at the age of sixty. Joseph Schwartz is sixty-two. This is young Isaac Asimov's first novel, full of wonders and ideas, the book that launched the novels of the Galactic Empire, culminating in the Foundation series. This is Golden Age SF at its finest. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Book excerpt: Annotation Optical spectroscopy represents one of the most powerful and useful investigation tools. Due to the broad range of applications in scientific and technological Research, its potential is very great. Among the large variety of its branches, a leading role is played by Raman spectroscopy that, allowing the non-destructive material characterisation, is the most-widely utilised diagnostic-tool in Research laboratories. An encounter opportunity for Researchers working in the Spectroscopy field is offered by the Conference organised by the National Group of Raman Spectroscopy and non-linear effects (GNSR). The GNSR Meeting represents an appointment, usually recurring every two years. Its main purpose is to act as a common forum for Spectroscopists, where the most recent and relevant Italian results and applications are presented. The GNSR Conference, hence, constitutes an opportunity for a stimulating exchange of ideas and experiences among the members of the lively Scientific Community involved, including a variety of Scientists, such as Physicists, Chemists, Engineers, Architects, Historians of Art, active in the field of Raman spectroscopy and non-linear effects. Offering the possibility of both divulging assessed results and exploring the feasibility of new projects, the GNSR Meeting promotes the advancement of Raman spectroscopy and related techniques not only in Research, but also in Industry and Education.
