First Lessons Voice
Just like a guitar, saxophone, piano, clarinet or flute, the voice is an instrument that requires training and education if one wishes to improve upon their natural ability. Understanding the parts of the voice, how it functions and routinely practicing will help one's voice gain flexibility, agility, a wider range, and ultimately more control to consistently sing what you hear in your head. with this book you will gain the knowledge of how your voice as an instrument and body part functions, what contributes to proper vocal health, how your breathing system works and the technique to strengthen your breathing. Through the many exercises and songs included on the companion CD as well, you will have the accompaniment for a guided lesson to practice each day and improve your vocal abilities.
A Glossary of Old Syrian
A Glossary of Old Syrian: l–z is the second of two volumes that aim to map the lexicon of Old Syrian as it can be extracted and reconstructed from the (Old Akkadian) Eblaite through the Old and Middle Babylonian corpora. Referring to a continuum of dialects spoken in the Syrian-Levantine and Syrian-Mesopotamian regions through the third and second millennia BCE, “Old Syrian” is a diachronically conservative, geographically pluricentric, and pragmatically multilayered linguistic cluster. As such, the Glossary pays special attention to the distribution of lexical data along diachronic, diatopic, and diastratic criteria. Given the extent and widely dispersed nature of this data, entries a...
Tablets from Kisurra in the Collections of the British Museum
The book contains 260 previously unpublished cuneiform documents from the early Old Babylonian town of Kisurra (ca. 1923-1866 BC) now kept in the collections of the British Museum. Although they have been acquired on the antique market, their provenience could be ascertained on the basis of intrinsic and formal criteria. In Kisurra, a small city state in central Babylonia, periods of independency under local kings have alternated with episodes of foreign rule by Uruk, Isin, Larsa and Babylon. The documents concern different aspects of agricultural management, ranging from the administration of the barley produce over silver and barley loans to contracts concerning real estate transfers through sale, inheritance and bequest. The documents are published in hand-copy, transliteration and commented translation. The volume includes extensive indices of the personal and divine names and an annotated list of all the year-names occurring in the Kisurra texts (taking into account all the published documents from Old Babylonian Kisurra).
Artificial Economics
Simulation is used in economics to solve large econometric models, for large-scale micro simulations, and to obtain numerical solutions for policy design in top-down established models. But these applications fail to take advantage of the methods offered by artificial economics (AE) through artificial intelligence and distributed computing. AE is a bottom-up and generative approach of agent-based modelling developed to get a deeper insight into the complexity of economics. AE can be viewed as a very elegant and general class of modelling techniques that generalize numerical economics, mathematical programming and micro simulation approaches. The papers presented in this book address methodological questions and applications of AE to macroeconomics, industrial organization, information and learning, market dynamics, finance and financial markets.
Old Babylonian Texts in the Schøyen Collection, Part Two
In ancient Mesopotamia, men training to be scribes copied model letters in order to practice writing and familiarize themselves with epistolary forms and expressions. Similarly, model contracts were used to teach them how to draw up agreements for the transactions typical of everyday economic life. This volume makes available a trove of previously unknown tablets and fragments, now housed in the Shøyen Collection, that were produced in the training of scribes in Old Babylonian schools. Following on Old Babylonian Texts in the Schøyen Collection, Part One: Selected Letters, this volume publishes the contents of sixty-five tablets bearing Akkadian letters used to train scribes and twenty-six prisms and tablets carrying Sumerian legal texts copied in the same context. Each text is presented in transliterated form and in translation, with appropriate commentary and annotations and, at the end of the book, photographs of the cuneiform. The material is made easily navigable by a catalogue, bibliography, and indexes. This collection of previously unknown documents expands the extant corpus of educational texts, making an essential contribution to the study of the ancient world.
