Journey to the East
It was one of the great encounters of world history: highly educated European priests confronting Chinese culture for the first time in the modern era. This “journey to the East” is explored by Brockey as he retraces the path of the Jesuit missionaries who sailed from Portugal to China.

Slave Trade and Abolition
Well into the early nineteenth century, Luanda, the administrative capital of Portuguese Angola, was one of the most influential ports for the transatlantic slave trade. Between 1801 and 1850, it served as the point of embarkation for more than 535,000 enslaved Africans. In the history of this diverse, wealthy city, the gendered dynamics of the merchant community have frequently been overlooked. Vanessa S. Oliveira traces how existing commercial networks adapted to changes in the Atlantic slave trade during the first half of the nineteenth century. Slave Trade and Abolition reveals how women known as donas (a term adapted from the title granted to noble and royal women in the Iberian Peninsula) were often important cultural brokers. Acting as intermediaries between foreign and local people, they held high socioeconomic status and even competed with the male merchants who controlled the trade. Oliveira provides rich evidence to explore the many ways this Luso-African community influenced its society. In doing so, she reveals an unexpectedly nuanced economy with regard to the dynamics of gender and authority.
Integrated Circuit and System Design: Power and Timing Modeling, Optimization and Simulation
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of 19th International Workshop on Power and Timing Modeling, Optimization and Simulation, PATMOS 2009, featuring Integrated Circuit and System Design, held in Delft, The Netherlands during September 9-11, 2009. The 26 revised full papers and 10 revised poster papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on variability & statistical timing, circuit level techniques, power management, low power circuits & technology, system level techniques, power & timing optimization techniques, self-timed circuits, low power circuit analysis & optimization, and low power design studies.
