Aristotle’s Metaphysics Lambda
In this annotated critical edition of Aristotle’s Metaphysics Lambda Stefan Alexandru explores and utilizes for the first time numerous previously neglected textual sources, written in Greek, Latin, Arabic, and Hebrew. The twelfth book of the Metaphysics, originally an independent treatise, is crucial for the understanding of Aristotle’s philosophy, primarily because the doctrine of the Unmoved Mover is nowhere else set forth in greater detail. Not only all the forty-two formerly known Greek codices have been collated, but also commentaries and translations. Moreover, a hitherto undiscovered, independent manuscript, representing a tenuous and particularly valuable branch of the direct tradition, is minutely investigated. The document in question, preserved in the Vatican, is an autograph of the Byzantine humanist and Ecumenical Patriarch Gennadios II Scholarios.
Database Machines and Knowledge Base Machines
This volume contains the papers presented at the Fifth International Workshop on Database Machines. The papers cover a wide spectrum of topics on Database Machines and Knowledge Base Machines. Reports of major projects, ECRC, MCC, and ICOT are included. Topics on DBM cover new database machine architectures based on vector processing and hypercube parallel processing, VLSI oriented architecture, filter processor, sorting machine, concurrency control mechanism for DBM, main memory database, interconnection network for DBM, and performance evaluation. In this workshop much more attention was given to knowledge base management as compared to the previous four workshops. Many papers discuss deductive database processing. Architectures for semantic network, prolog, and production system were also proposed. We would like to express our deep thanks to all those who contributed to the success of the workshop. We would also like to express our apprecia tion for the valuable suggestions given to us by Prof. D. K. Hsiao, Prof. D.

The Song Of The Dodo
Why have island ecosystems always suffered such high rates of extinction? In our age, with all the world's landscapes, from Tasmania to the Amazon to Yellowstone, now being carved into island-like fragments by human activity, the implications of this question are more urgent than ever. Over the past eight years, David Quammen has followed the threads of island biogeography on a globe-encircling journey of discovery.
Credito e società romana nell'età moderna
La storia romana ha finalmente le pagine dedicate a un suo aspetto poco indagato: quello finanziario. L’Autore ha individuato nel nascente modello barocco, elementi nuovi adottati dall’élite per farvi ancora parte o decadere: l’attenzione al mercato , il profitto, la speculazione, il tornaconto individuale. Nel saggio viene privilegiato l’impianto comparatistico con l’Europa, nel tentativo di evidenziare affinità e diversità, come esige il più aggiornato circuito storiografico. Ne sono affiorate la comparsa della prima moneta “unica”, l’esigenza di manovrare il tasso d’interesse, i primi contrasti fra Stato e finanza, e soprattutto la rinunzia a quella spietata politica mercantilistica che vedrà decollare alcuni Paesi del Nord e avviare lo Stato ecclesiastico verso l’inevitabile decadenza.
