"A valuable reference source, providing new information on and recording references to new illustrations of the more than 1,500 Greek black-figured vases catalogued by Haspels"--Book jacket.
The seventeen contributions to this volume, written by leading experts, show that animals and humans in Graeco-Roman antiquity are interconnected on a variety of different levels and that their encounters and interactions often result from their belonging to the same structures, ‘networks’ and communities or at least from finding themselves together in a certain setting, context or environment – wittingly or unwittingly. Papers explore the concrete categories of interaction between animals and humans that can be identified, in what contexts they occur, and what types of evidence can be productively used to examine the concept of interactions. Articles in this volume take into account literary, visual, and other types of evidence. A comprehensive research bibliography is also provided.
The school held at Villa Marigola, Lerici, Italy, in July 1997 was very much an educational experiment aimed not just at teaching a new generation of students the latest developments in computer simulation methods and theory, but also at bringing together researchers from the condensed matter computer simulation community, the biophysical chemistry community and the quantum dynamics community to confront the shared problem: the development of methods to treat the dynamics of quantum condensed phase systems.This volume collects the lectures delivered there. Due to the focus of the school, the contributions divide along natural lines into two broad groups: (1) the most sophisticated forms of the art of computer simulation, including biased phase space sampling schemes, methods which address the multiplicity of time scales in condensed phase problems, and static equilibrium methods for treating quantum systems; (2) the contributions on quantum dynamics, including methods for mixing quantum and classical dynamics in condensed phase simulations and methods capable of treating all degrees of freedom quantum-mechanically.
De Italiaan Ranuccio Bianchi Bandinelli (1900-1975), een van de belangrijkste archeologen van de twintigste eeuw, werd bij het grote publiek vooral bekend als de gids die in 1938 Adolf Hitler en Benito Mussolini rondleidde langs antieke monumenten en kunstschatten in Rome en Florence. Enkele jaren eerder had hij in Doorn kennisgemaakt met een andere fatale hoofdrolspeler op het wereldtoneel: de Duitse ex-keizer Wilhelm II. Van beide 'ontmoetingen in de onderwereld' deed Bianchi Bandinelli in zijn dagboeken verslag, met ironie, oog voor detail en een vlijmscherpe analyse van de banaliteit van zijn protagonisten. Deze twee dagboekpassages zijn nu voor het eerst in het Nederlands vertaald en van toelichtingen voorzien. In de inleiding wordt stilgestaan bij de periode waarin Bianchi Bandinelli hoogleraar Griekse archeologie aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen was. Zijn betrekkingen met de Nederlandse cultuur en archeologie blijken op verrassende wijze getekend door de complexe relatie tussen archeologie en fascisme.
