Dislocating Race & Nation

Episodes in Nineteenth-century American Literary Nationalism

American literary nationalism is traditionally understood as a cohesive literary tradition developed in the newly independent United States that emphasized the unique features of America and consciously differentiated American literature from British lite

It is generally acknowledged that Charles Bro ckden Brown was an American
literary nationalist. In his oft-cited prefatory note to Edgar Huntly (1799), he called
on American writers to address “the condition of our country,” maintaining that “
the field ofinvestigation, opened to us by our own country, should differ
essentially from those which exist in Europe.” Among the “new views” open to the
American writer, he stated somewhat self-servingly, were “incidents of Indian
hostility, and the ...

Collins Classics - The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes

These are the last 12 stories Conan Doyle wrote about Holmes and Watson. They reflect the disillusioned world of the 1920's in which they were written, and Doyle can be seen to take advantage of new, more open conventions in fiction.

Shadow Bound

When a demon breaches the barrier between death and life, the salvation of the world depends on the passions of a beautiful banshee just coming into her power and the man willing to use her to avenge the destruction of his family.

Automating Business Modelling

A Guide to Using Logic to Represent Informal Methods and Support Reasoning

Enhances the use of enterprise models as an effective communication medium between business and technical personnel. Details the blue-print of the to-be developed business system.

Chapters 6 and 7 describe the formalisation and reasoning of the Process and
Procedural models. The automation of this modelling support framework
described in Figure 1.1 is based on manipulation of a formal logical language
DefBM that has been developed using a lightweight approach as described in
Section 3.3.5. Before we go into detail about DefBM and the automated support,
we should firstly understand the domain within which we are working: BSDM's
business models.

Logic, Automata, and Algorithms

In this book, we study theoretical and practical aspects of computing methods for mathematical modelling of nonlinear systems. A number of computing techniques are considered, such as methods of operator approximation with any given accuracy; operator interpolation techniques including a non-Lagrange interpolation; methods of system representation subject to constraints associated with concepts of causality, memory and stationarity; methods of system representation with an accuracy that is the best within a given class of models; methods of covariance matrix estimation; methods for low-rank matrix approximations; hybrid methods based on a combination of iterative procedures and best operator approximation; and methods for information compression and filtering under condition that a filter model should satisfy restrictions associated with causality and different types of memory. As a result, the book represents a blend of new methods in general computational analysis, and specific, but also generic, techniques for study of systems theory ant its particular branches, such as optimal filtering and information compression. - Best operator approximation, - Non-Lagrange interpolation, - Generic Karhunen-Loeve transform - Generalised low-rank matrix approximation - Optimal data compression - Optimal nonlinear filtering

The needs of modern technology have therefore prompted an intensive study of
the general relationships governing this class, in order to develop methods of
analysis and of optimal synthesis of these dynamical systems. 2. The continuing
progress in science and technology, particularly in computers, increasingly poses
questions such as: What can a machine “do” and what is it incapable of “doing”?
Could a machine perform any algorithm? In principle, could a machine do
