Platonic Theology: Books XVII-XVIII

Weirding the War
“It is well that war is so terrible,” Robert E. Lee reportedly said, “or we would grow too fond of it.” The essays collected here make the case that we have grown too fond of it, and therefore we must make the war terrible again. Taking a “freakonomics” approach to Civil War studies, each contributor uses a seemingly unusual story, incident, or phenomenon to cast new light on the nature of the war itself. Collectively the essays remind us that war is always about damage, even at its most heroic and even when certain people and things deserve to be damaged. Here then is not only the grandness of the Civil War but its more than occasional littleness. Here are those who profited by the war and those who lost by it—and not just those who lost all save their honor, but those who lost their honor too. Here are the cowards, the coxcombs, the belles, the deserters, and the scavengers who hung back and so survived, even thrived. Here are dark topics like torture, hunger, and amputation. Here, in short, is war.

Springer Handbook of Speech Processing
This handbook plays a fundamental role in sustainable progress in speech research and development. With an accessible format and with accompanying DVD-Rom, it targets three categories of readers: graduate students, professors and active researchers in academia, and engineers in industry who need to understand or implement some specific algorithms for their speech-related products. It is a superb source of application-oriented, authoritative and comprehensive information about these technologies, this work combines the established knowledge derived from research in such fast evolving disciplines as Signal Processing and Communications, Acoustics, Computer Science and Linguistics.
Alma Allen & J.B. Blunk
Alma Allen and J.B. Blunk: In Conversation presents an encounter between two California-based artists who never met but whose work shares a deep affinity in material and sensibility: contemporary sculptor and designer Alma Allen (born 1970) and J.B. Blunk (1926-2002), whose work encompassed ceramics, furniture and sculpture in redwood and cypress. Both Blunk and Allen designed their own homes and studios, as well as many of the furnishings and objects in them. The work of both artists blurs the line between design and sculpture, with both men creating evocative organic work from natural materials, inspired by the nature outside of their remote studios. The first publication on both of these artists' work, Alma Allen and J.B. Blunk: In Conversation stages an impossible meeting between two kindred spirits, grounded in a shared exploration of the materials, processes and sites of art making.
Auditory Frequency Selectivity
One of the most fundamental aspects of the auditory system is its frequency selectivity - the ability to resolve a complex sound into frequency compOhents. This ability plays a role in many aspects of auditory perception, including: the masking of one sound by another; the perception of pitch for pure tones and complex tones; the perception of timbre; the perception of the relative phase of components in complex sounds; and the perception of loudness. Over the last decade, there have been considerable advances in our understanding of frequency selectivity, both at the physiological and psychophysical level, and rapid progress continues to be made. This book summarizes the proceedings of a NA...
