Lviv has a long scientific tradition. The present book provides the panoramic overview of the development of exact sciences in the city from the beginning of “scientific studies” (from the middle of the 17th century, when the Lviv University was founded) to World War II. The history of Lviv scientific centers, namely, the Lviv University, the Lviv Polytechnic and the Shevchenko Scientific Society, is presented. Other chapters are devoted to exact sciences, i.e. mathematics, physics and astronomy. The book will appeal to wide audience interested in the history of Lviv, the development of scientific knowledge and higher education in the city.
Astrophysical Sources of High Energy Particles and Radiation
A wide range of topics are covered, ranging from supernovae to active galactic nuclei, cosmic gamma rays to neutrinos and dark matter. The basic emphasis is on physics / astrophysics and experimental / observational techniques, scientific implications of current results, and prospects for future advances. The fields surveyed are in rapid development and the exploration of our high energy universe is proceeding rapidly, with exciting new discoveries. What unifies much of the new data is the idea of particle acceleration to enormous energies and the subsequent interactions of the particles with the local medium. It this focus that makes the book both timely and an important contribution to the field.
Tall Tree, Nest of the Wind: The Javanese Shadow-play Dewa Ruci Performed by Ki Anom Soeroto
Javanese shadow puppetry is a sophisticated dramatic form, often felt to be at the heart of Javanese culture, drawing on classic texts but with important contemporary resonance in fields like religion and politics. How to make sense of the shadow-play as a form of world-making? In Tall Tree, Nest of the Wind, Bernard Arps explores this question by considering an all-night performance of Dewa Ruci, a key play in the repertoire. Thrilling and profound, Dewa Ruci describes the mighty Bratasena’s quest for the ultimate mystical insight. The book presents Dewa Ruci as rendered by the distinguished master puppeteer Ki Anom Soeroto in Amsterdam in 1987. The book’s unusual design presents the pe...

A Spiritual Revolution
The ideas of the Protestant Reformation, followed by the European Enlightenment, had a profound and long-lasting impact on Russia’s church and society in the eighteenth century. Though the traditional Orthodox Church was often assumed to have been hostile toward outside influence, Andrey V. Ivanov’s study argues that the institution in fact embraced many Western ideas, thereby undergoing what some observers called a religious revolution. Embedded with lively portrayals of historical actors and vivid descriptions of political details, A Spiritual Revolution is the first large-scale effort to fully identify exactly how Western progressive thought influenced the Russian Church. These new ideas played a foundational role in the emergence of the country as a modernizing empire and the rise of the Church hierarchy as a forward-looking agency of institutional and societal change. Ivanov addresses this important debate in the scholarship on European history, firmly placing Orthodoxy within the much wider European and global continuum of religious change.

Penelitian Seni Pertunjukan
Buku-buku tentang wayang kulit, bahkan yang dari penelitian, kebanyakan yang berisi tentang seni, sejarah, dan nilai-nilai yang dihubungkan dengan budaya jawa. Secara ilmiah, pendekatan demikian cenderung menggunakan paradigma positivism, atau post-positivisme. Dengan pendekatan demikian, seakan penelitian bebas dari bias penulis dan pembahasan mengarah kepada ‘penemuan makna yang hakiki’ dari sebuah karya seni atau budaya. Pendekatan dengan paradigma kritis yang cenderung fokus kepada premis bahwa kondisi, nilai, struktur historis, budaya, ras, gender, politik, dan terutama ekonomi mempengaruhi produk seni atau budaya. Pendekatan dengan paradigma konstruktivis lebih mengutamakan ‘live...
