This Collection of fourteen essays by eleven different authors demonstrates the increasing breadth of enquiry that has taken place in art and design education history over the past two decades, and the expanding range of research models applied to the subject. The essays are grouped into six sections that propose the emergence of genres of research in the field - Drawing from examples, Motives and rationales for public art and design education in Britain, Features of institutional art and design education, Towards art and design education as a profession, Pivotal figures in the history of art and design education, and British/European influence in art and design education abroad. The rich diversity of subject matter covered by the essays is contained broadly within the period 1800 to the middle decades of the twentieth century. The book sets out to fill a gap in the current international literature on the subject by bringing together recent research on predominantly British art and design education and its influence abroad. It will be of specific interest to all those involved in art, design, and art and design education, but will equally find an audience in the wider field of social history. Contents include: • Drawing from examples • Motives and rationales for public art and design education in Britain • Features of institutional art and design education • Towards art education as a profession • Pivotal figures in the history of art and design education • British/European influence in art and design education abroad
Chapter 4: Social Class and the Origin of Public Art and Design Education in
Britain: In Search of a Target Group Mervyn Romans Introduction The first school
of design had opened in London in 1837. Between then and 1852, when Henry
Cole and Richard Redgrave took charge of the system, a further 21 had opened
around the country. But who were these schools of design for? Who was to
benefit from an art and/or design education in post 1837 Britain? If an answer to
this question ...
The book summarises contemporary knowledge about the theory of atomic and molecular clusters. New results are discussed on a high theoretical level. Access to this field of research is given by an explanation of the various subjects in introductory chapters.
They also gave an O(n log n) time algorithm to find all maximal quasiperiodic
substrings within a given string. Apostolico, Farach and Iliopoulos [4] gave an O(n
) time algorithm that finds the quasiperiod of a given string, namely the shortest
string that covers the string in question. This algorithm was subsequently
simplified and improved by Breslauer [9] who gave an O(n) time on-line algorithm
, and parallelized by Breslauer [10] and Iliopoulos and Park [19], the latter giving
an ...
Essays Dedicated to Michael M. Richter on the Occasion of His 65th Birthday
Nowadays knowledge-based systems research and development essentially employs two paradigms of reasoning. There are on the one hand the logic-based approaches where logic is to be understood in a rather broad sense; usually these approaches are used in symbolic domains where numerical calculations are not the core challenge. On the other hand we find approximation oriented reasoning; methods of these kinds are mainly applied in numerical domains where approximation is part of the scientific methodology itself. However, from an abstract level all these approaches do focus on similar topics and arise on various levels such as problem modeling, inference and problem solving techniques, algorithms and mathematical methods, mathematical relations between discrete and continuous properties, and are integrated in tools and applications. In accordance with the unifying vision and research interest of Michael M. Richter and in correspondence to his scientific work, this book presents 13 revised full papers advocating the integration of logic-based and approximation-oriented approaches in knowledge processing.
Problem-specific algorithms vs. heuristics, exact optimization vs. approximation
vs. heuristic solutions, guaranteed run time vs. expected run time vs.
experimental run time analysis. Here, a framework for a theory of randomized
search heuristics is presented. After a brief history of discrete optimization,
scenarios are discussed where randomized search heuristics are appropriate.
Different randomized se- arch heuristics are presented and it is argued why the
expected optimization time ...
Essays Dedicted to Samson Abramsky on the Occasion of His 60th Birthday
This Festschrift volume, published in honor of Samson Abramsky, contains contributions written by some of his colleagues, former students, and friends. In celebration of the 60th birthday of Samson Abramsky, a conference was held in Oxford, UK, during May 28-30, 2010. The papers in this volume represent his manifold contributions to semantics, logic, games, and quantum mechanics.
This paper studies one of the best-known quantum algorithms — Shor's
factorisation algorithm — via categorical distributivity. A key aim of the paper is to
provide a minimal set of categorical requirements for key parts of the algorithm, in
order to establish the most general setting in which the required operations may
be performed efficiently. We demonstrate that Laplaza's theory of coherence for
distributivity [13,14] provides a purely categorical proof of the operational
equivalence of ...
This collection of essays engages two of the most fundamental social and political issues of our time: community and identity. Wrestling with the perplexities of these two issues within the Africana world, the contributors delve into the influences of a postmodern world of globalization with outdated, crumbling forms of identity and sociality. In the wake of such an order, new forms of identity and community must be established.

Few recent Christian thinkers have been as widely influential as John Howard Yoder (1927-1997). Encompassing a teaching career of more than thirty years and such landmark publications as 'The Politics of Jesus', Yoder's life and thought have profoundly impacted students and colleagues from a broad range of disciplines. In the words of Stanley Hauerwas, Yoder is probably the major theologican/ethicists of this half-century in America and certainly the leading Mennonite theologian of the twentieth century. 'The Wisdom of the Cross' is the only book to provide valuable secondary essays engaging Yoder's central theological concerns, together with a biographical reflection on his life and legacy. Written by scholars both from within and outside of Yoder's Mennonite community, these essays develop the most significant aspects of Yoder's thought - from his powerful defense of Christian pacifism to his seminal analysis of the politics of Jesus to his challenging contributions to Christian social ethics, ecclesiology, and theological method. The book also includes a previously unpublished essay on moral absolutes by Yoder himself. A fitting tribute to Yoder's distinguished career, this volume will be useful to readers new to Yoder's work and to those wishing to probe more deeply into the implications of his thought.
75 One could look on some of these responses as an adolescent knocking of
elders' points of view.76 John Yoder is probably right that “creating this group
gave us a young Turk image within the Mennonite institutions back home. And

Best-selling author and futurist Marc Prensky's book of essays challenges educators to “reboot” and make the changes necessary to prepare students for 21st century careers.
Essays on Medea in Myth, Literature, Philosophy, and Art
The figure of Medea has inspired artists in all fields throughout the centuries. This work examines the major representations of Medea in myth, art, and ancient and contemporary literature, as well as the philosophical, psychological and cultural questions these portrayals raise.
