Příručka • Pestrá stoa
Epiktétova Příručka doplněná o fragmenty jeho Rozprav obsahuje zásady stoické filosofie a představuje kontury jejího pohledu na svět. Lidská mysl musí být podle stoiků schopna rozlišit kam až sahá boží vliv, od toho, co je v dosahu jednání každého člověka. Třetí část této knihy představuje některé myšlenky nejstarších reprezentantů této filosofické školy např. Zénóna či Chrýsippa, zarámována tu souhlasnými komentáři Senecovými, jinde jízlivými poznámkami Ciceronovými. Primárním úkolem knihy není představit souvislý výklad stoického učení, ale být svému čtenáři užitečnou pomůckou a dopomoci mu k pokroku směrem k blaženosti. Tedy k životu zcela svobodnému a pokojnému, oproštěnému od bolesti, ale i neuvážené slasti. Aby u svého čtenáře takového pokroku mohl dosáhnout, představuje Epiktétos nejen přísnou stoickou doktrínu, ale také menší krůčky, důvtipné a prozíravé rady a mentální cviky, založené na bystrém pozorování lidské psychiky.
Introduction to Computational Genomics
Where did SARS come from? Have we inherited genes from Neanderthals? How do plants use their internal clock? The genomic revolution in biology enables us to answer such questions. But the revolution would have been impossible without the support of powerful computational and statistical methods that enable us to exploit genomic data. Many universities are introducing courses to train the next generation of bioinformaticians: biologists fluent in mathematics and computer science, and data analysts familiar with biology. This readable and entertaining book, based on successful taught courses, provides a roadmap to navigate entry to this field. It guides the reader through key achievements of bioinformatics, using a hands-on approach. Statistical sequence analysis, sequence alignment, hidden Markov models, gene and motif finding and more, are introduced in a rigorous yet accessible way. A companion website provides the reader with Matlab-related software tools for reproducing the steps demonstrated in the book.

The Acropolis
The Acropolis in Athens has captured the imaginations of readers, writers and travellers for centuries and every year draws crowds from all over the world. One of the world's most famous heritage sites, it has long been a national monument of Greece and a potent symbol of western civilization. But the Acropolis is typically viewed in the context of 5th-century-BC Athenian society, while the multiple local and international meanings and identities that the site shapes today are overlooked. This book looks at the meaning of the Acropolis in contemporary Greece. How are global ideas adopted and adapted by local cultures? How do Greeks deal with the national and international features of their a...
Cityscapes and Monuments of Western Asia Minor
Cityscapes consist of houses, streets, civic buildings, sanctuaries, tombs, monuments, and inscriptions created by multiple generations of citizens and foreigners with an interest in the city; they are interpreted and reinterpreted as expressions of past lives, changing relations of power, memories, and various identities. The present volume publishes 25 contributions written by scholars specializing in the history and archaeology of western Asia Minor. New and well-known material – literary, epigraphical, numismatic, and archaeological – is presented and analyzed through the twin lenses of memory and identity. The contributions cover more than 1000 years of cultural diversity during cha...
Athena Itonia: Geography and Meaning of an Ancient Greek War Goddess
In Athena Itonia Gerald V. Lalonde offers a comparative study of the social, political and military aspects of the cult of Athena Itonia and its propagation among the four regions of ancient Greece where major evidence has come to light.
Composing Community in Late Medieval Music
When we sing lines in which a fifteenth-century musician uses ethereal polyphony to complain mundanely about money or hoarseness, more than half a millennium melts away. Equally intriguing are moments in which we experience solmization puns. These familiar worries and surprising jests break down temporal distances, humanizing the lives and endeavors of our musical forebears. Yet many instances of self-reference occur within otherwise serious pieces. Are these simply in-jokes, or are there more meaningful messages we risk neglecting if we dismiss them as comic relief? Music historian Jane D. Hatter takes seriously the pervasiveness of these features. Divided into two sections, this study considers pieces with self-referential features in the texts separately from discussions of pieces based on musical self-referential elements. Examining connections between self-referential repertoire from the years 1450–1530 and similar self-referential creations for painters' guilds, reveals musicians' agency in forming the first communities of early modern composers.
