Ancient Greek music West, M. L. (Martin Litchfield), 1937- Oxford [England] : Clarendon Press ; New York : Oxford University Press, 1994
Ancient Greece was permeated by music, and the literature teems with musical allusions. Here at last is a clear, comprehensive, and authoritative account that presupposes no special knowledge of music. Topics covered include the place of music in Greek life, instruments, rhythm, tempo, modes and scales, melodic construction, form, ancient theory and notation, and historical development. Thirty surviving examples of Greek music are presented in modern transcription with analysis, and the book is fully illustrated. Besides being considered on its own terms, Greek music is here further illuminated by being considered in ethnological perspective, and a brief Epilogue sets it in its place in a border zone between Afro-Asiatic and European culture. The book will be of value both to classicists and historians of music., Issue: до 2011-01, Includes bibliographical references and index

Atoms in molecules : a quantum theory Bader, Richard F. W., 1931- Oxford [England] : Clarendon Press ; New York : Oxford University Press, The International series of monographs on chemistry ;, 22, 1994
The molecular structure hypothesis--the proposition that a molecule is a collection of atoms linked by a network of bonds--provides the principal means of ordering and classifying observations in chemistry. It is not, however, directly related to the physics which govern the motions of atomic nuclei and electrons. This important book develops a theory establishing that molecular structure--with properties predicted and defined by the laws of quantum mechanics--can be explained in terms of underlying physics. As a result, the classification based upon the concept of atoms in molecules is freed from its empirical constraints and the full predictive power of quantum mechanics can be incorporated into the resulting theory--a theory of atoms in molecules. Eminently accessible and readable, this unique book will interest all physical scientists who use the concepts of atoms, bonds, and structure in the interpretation of their work, Series: International series of monographs on chemistry, 22, Issue: 2012-06, Includes bibliographical references and index

The Elizabethan Puritan Movement (Clarendon Paperbacks) Collinson, Patrick Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, 1989
<p>First published in 1967 and now available in paperback, this is an authoritative and revealing study of an important yet relatively unexamined force in English history. The Elizabethan Puritan Movement arose from discontent with the religious settlement of 1559 and the desire among many of the clergy and laity for a further reformation. The more radical wished to change the structure of the Church, substituting a presbyterian order for episcopacy. They became, in fact, a revolutionary movement whose clandestine organization and agitation through parliament constituted a serious threat to the state.</p>

Quantum mechanics : an empiricist view Van Fraassen, Bas C., 1941- Oxford [England] : Clarendon Press ; New York : Oxford University Press, 1991
After introducing the empiricist point of view in philosophy of science, and the concepts and methods of the semantic approach to scientific theories, van Fraassen discusses quantum theory in three stages. He first examines the question of whether and how empirical phenomena require a non-classical theory, and what sort of theory they require. He then discusses the mathematical foundations of quantum theory with special reference to developments in the modelling of interaction, composite systems, and measurement. Finally, the author broaches the main questions of interpretation. After offering a critique of earlier interpretations, he develops a new one--the modal interpretation--which attempts to stay close to the original Copenhagen ideas without implying a radical incompleteness in quantum theory. He again gives special attention to the character of composite, many-body systems and especially to the peculiar character of assemblies of identical particles in quantum statistics., Series: Clarendon Paperbacks, Issue: 2009 new, Includes bibliographical references (p.

Embodying Revolution: The Figure of the Poet in Shelley (Oxford English Monographs) Clark, William R., Timothy Oxford [England] : Clarendon Press ; 1989., Oxford English monographs, Oxford [England], Oxford [England], New York, England, 1989
<p>A strange figure recurs throughout Shelley's work, a solitary young poet hounded by passion or madness to the grave. This study reveals the figure to be an allegory of a violent revolutionary age. Seen in the context of a largely forgotten ideal that connected introspection with radical politics, Clark demonstrates that Shelley's self-analyses and metaphysical speculations are related to a notion of the poet as an explorer in previously unchartered regions of the human mind. He shows that ultimately, the curiously weak Shelleyan poet is really an ambivalent fictional embodiment of the social forces tearing Europe apart in the Romantic age.</p>

<p>This book traces the development of the Theseus myth and its importance for Athens. Mills examines all extant tragedies in which Theseus appear in order to assess the significance of his role as mythological representative of Athenian greatness. She argues that the Theseus of most Athenian tragedy is carefully drawn to exemplify the idealized image of the Athenian national character that was prevalent in the age of the empire.</p>

Understanding consumption Deaton, Angus Oxford [England] : Clarendon Press ; New York : Oxford University Press, 1992
This book provides an overview of recent research on saving and consumption, a field in which substantial progress has been made over the last decade. Economists attempting to understand saving and consumption patterns have generated some of the best science in economics. For more than fifty years, there has been serious empirical and theoretical activity--never separating data, theory, and policy as has happened in many branches of economics. Research has drawn microeconomists interested in household behavior, as well as macroeconomists, for whom the behavior of aggregate consumption has always occupied a central role in explaining aggregate fluctuations. Econometricians have also made distinguished contributions, and there has been a steady flow of new methodologies by those working on saving and consumption, in time-series econometrics, as well as in the study of micro and panel data. A coherent account of these developments is presented here, emphasizing the interplay between micro and the macro, between studies of cross-section and panels, and those using aggregate time series data., Series: Clarendon Lectures in Economics, Issue: 2010, \"Clarendon lectures in economics\"--Jacket, Includes bibliographical references (p.

Philosophical finesse : studies in the art of rational persuasion Martin Warner Oxford [England] : Clarendon Press ; 1989., Oxford [England], New York, England, 1989
<p>Warner here puts forward a much broader discussion of rationality than that which underlies today's polarization between analytic and continental philosophy. Through a series of case-studies the author explores ancient conceptions of dialectic and rhetoric in relation to the positive role given to sentiment or the heart by Pascal, Hume, and Nietzsche. These studies point to an understanding of philosophy which undercuts fashionable disputes and which helps to reaffirm a range of ideas long marginalized by the dominance of the geometric model of philosophical argument.</p>

Inventing the Barbarian: Greek Self-Definition through Tragedy (Oxford Classical Monographs) Coffelt, Nancy, Hall, Edith Oxford [England] ; Clarendon Press ; 1989., Oxford classical monographs, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1989
Incest, polygamy, murder, sacrilege, impalement, castration, female power, and despotism are some of the images used by Athenian tragedians to define the non-Greek, "barbarian" world. This book explains for the first time the reasons behind their singular fascination with barbarians. Edith Hall sets the Greek plays against the historical background of the Panhellenic wars, and the establishment of an Athenian empire based on democracy and slavery. Analyzed within the context of contemporary anthropology and political philosophy, Hall reveals how the poets conceptualized the barbarian as the negative embodiment of Athenian civic ideals. She compares the treatment of foreigners in Homer and in tragedy, showing that the new dimension which the idea of the barbarian had brought to the tragic theater radically affected the poets' interpretation of myth and their evocation of the distant past, as well as enriching their reportoire of aural and visual effects. Hall argues that the invented barbarian of the tragic stage was a powerful cultural expression of Greek xenophobia and chauvinism that, paradoxically, produced and outburst of creative energy and literary innovation

Introduction To Computing With Pascal (oxford Science Publications) Norman Linstead Biggs Oxford [england] : Clarendon Press ; 1989., Oxford science publications, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1989
This book is an introduction to computing in general, and the Pascal language in particular. It is suitable for anyone who has studied mathematics up to the age of 16 or thereabouts. A simple model of computing is used to describe the meaning of a programming language, and this framework is used to develop Pascal from the simplest constructions through to recursion and pointers. Programming methodology is treated from a structured, but informal, viewpoint, and the modular approach is stressed throughout. In parallel with the development of Pascal, the book introduces topics of general interest in computing, such algorithms and their efficiency, searching and sorting, termination and verification of programs, and abstract data types. Each section contains exercises for the student, and at the end of each chapter there are suggestions for practical work. The intention is to lead the student naturally to more advanced studies of computing, without having to unlearn anything contained in this book.

Price rigidity : causes and macroeconomic implications / monograph Torben M. Andersen; Northam Anderson Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1994
186 pages : 23 cm The price adjustment process is crucial to almost any macroeconomic issue. Current macroeconomic literature features widely different models ranking from instantaneous price adjustment to completely rigid prices. Professor Andersen provides a comprehensive analysis of reasons why prices may fail to adjust instantaneously to changes in market conditions. This unified treatment will allow the reader to understand the mechanisms at work without becoming lost in technical details This volume covers both real and nominal price rigidities and integrates existing results from the literature with new results on causes for failures of price adjustment. The analysis of real price rigidities includes inventories, customer markets, search and collusive behaviour. Due to the focus on macroeconomic implications, the analysis of nominal price rigidities is extensive and includes menu costs, informational problems, asynchronized price setting as well as the interaction between price and wage setting. Professor Andersen's own theoretical work on imperfect information, a prime source of price and wage rigidity, is given prominence in the book. The volume is thus a combination of a valuable survey of the literature, and an original expression of future possible research avenues Includes bibliographical references (pages 166-177) and index 1.

Pherekydes of Syros Hermann Sadun Schibli Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1990
In the sixth century B.C., Pherekydes of Syros, the reputed teacher of Pythagoras and a contemporary of Thales and Anaximander, wrote a book about the birth of the gods and the origin of the cosmos. Considered one of the first prose works of Greek literature, Pherekydes' book survives only in fragments. Drawing on these fragments, as well as the ancient testimonies, Schibli here reconstructs the theo-cosmological schema of Pherekydes. From the mythopoeic creation account, colorful narratives of a divine marriage and a battle of the gods, and his remarks on the soul, Pherekydes emerges as a figure who moved between myth and philosophy, and as an important witness to early Greek thought in its various manifestations.

Minerals, Energy, And Economic Development In China James P. Dorian Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1994
<p>China possesses one of the world's largest mining industries, and since 1949 the production of minerals and energy has played a critical role in its economic development. This is the only comprehensive source of information on China's mining sector available today. It presents a wealth of descriptive material, provides a detailed economic analysis of the industry and its role in China's industrialization process. James Dorian examines the history, practices, organizational structure, performance criteria, and constraints of the mining industry, than broadens his study to look at the interaction of the mining industry with other sectors of the Chinese economy. He argues that the growth of the mining industry in China has been instrumental to the nation's economic expansion, and analyzes its possible future after the recent industrial reforms.</p>

Barthes and Utopia : space, travel, writing Diana Knight Clarendon Press ; Oxford University Press, Oxford [England], New York, 1996
Barthes and Utopia explores the central role of utopias throughout the work of Roland Barthes, from demystification to structuralism, from textuality and sexual hedonism to his final preoccupation with love and mourning. Utopia mediates the supposed phases of Barthes's career, just as it mediates the two sides of his work which are often misleadingly separated: his political and ethical concerns (his desire to invent social values for the world), and his creative project of writing. In short, to take detours via hypothetical utopias was Barthes's way of writing the world. The range of texts studied in Barthes and Utopia is unusually wide, and incorporates discussion of the plans for his so-called Vita Nova - Barthes's final, mysterious writing project. Barthes and Utopia takes us to the heart of Barthes's imaginative processes, of his affective world and idiosyncratic value system. But, because utopia is the meeting point of his lifelong concern with the relationship between history, language, and sexuality, this study also inserts Barthes's work into larger political and theoretical concerns, in particular into ongoing debates around Orientalism and homosexuality.

The Rise of Modern Philosophy : The Tension Between the New and Traditional Philosophies from Machiavelli to Leibniz edited by Tom Sorell Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Clarendon paperbacks, Oxford, New York, 1995
"'Modern' philosophy in the West is said to have begun with Bacon and Descartes. Their methodological and metaphysical writings, in conjunction with the discoveries that marked the seventeenth-century scientific revolution, are supposed to have interred both Aristotelian and scholastic science and the philosophy that supported it. But did the new or 'modern' philosophy effect a complete break with what preceded it? Were Bacon and Descartes untainted by scholastic influences? The theme of this book is that the new and traditional philosophies have more in common than the orthodox account suggests." "In two survey articles and thirteen essays on individual philosophers, the contributors show that the rise of modern philosophy was much more complicated and much more interesting than is usually thought. They consider not only metaphysics and the sciences but also the claims of Machiavelli, Hobbes, and Spinoza to have invented 'modern' ethics and politics. These two aspects of 'modernity' in philosophy are connected for the first time. The book offers a broad view of the early modern philosophers, covering not only the much-studied major figures but also relatively neglected writers: Mersenne, Gassendi, White, and Sergeant."--BOOK JACKET.

Reciprocity and Ritual: Homer and Tragedy in the Developing City-State (Clarendon Paperbacks) Seaford, Richard Oxford University Press, USA; Clarendon Press; Oxford University Press, F First Paperback Edition Used, 1995-08-24
This is an exciting and entirely new synthesis, combining anthropology, political and social history, and the close reading of central Greek texts, to account for two of the most significant features of Homeric epic and Athenian tragedy: the representation of ritual and of codes of reciprocity. Both genres are pervaded by these features, yet each treats them in very different ways. In this book, Dr Seaford shows that these differences cannot be accounted for in merely literary terms, but require a historical explanation. Homer is a product of the city state at an earlier historical stage than is tragedy. It is the growth of the city-state and its concomitant developments - in particular of law and of money, as well as in the practice of ritual - that provide a key to the crystallization of the Homeric narrative tradition, to the specificity of tragedy, and to certain features of the thought of the period. In the case of reciprocity, again whether the positive reciprocity associated with gift exchange or the hostile reciprocity of revenge - the systematic distinctions between Homer and tragedy can be explained only from a historical perspective. In its characteristic movement tragedy reflects and confirms the transition from one kind of society towards another: from a network of reciprocal relations, characteristic of societies where the state is weak or absent, to the organization of citizens around a single centre or series of centres - the institutions and cults of the city-state. Challenging, thoroughly lucid, and at times controversial, this lively, original yet accessible work is the first to attempt to understand the development of early Greek literature from the perspective of state formation. It should make enlivening and important reading for students, scholars, and anyone interested in the history or the literature of classical Greece. All Greek is translated.

Intransitive Predication Leonardus Maria Hubertus Stassen Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford studies in typology and linguistic theory, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1997
<p><P>Stassen makes a major contribution to the study of language typology with <b>Intransitive Predication</b>. Basing his analysis on a sample of 410 languages, he presents a universally applicable model for defining the domain of intransitive predication in natural languages. Intransitive predicates are defined in terms of four domains&#58; events (<b>Sarah is walking</b>), classes (<b>Sarah is a secretary</b>), properties (<b>Sarah is tall</b>), and locations (<b>Sarah is in the garden</b>).</p> <h3>Booknews</h3> <p>Basing his analysis on a database of over 400 languages, Stassen (general linguistics, U. of Nijmegen, the Netherlands) investigates cross-linguistic variation in a cognitive space<-->a core domain of all natural languages. For advanced students in comparative linguistics, the author offers a typology of the structural options of this domain, and theoretical principles which can be employed in explaining the variation embodied by the typology. His research results culminate in a model for the encoding of intransitive predications in different language types. An index of languages serves readers who wish to focus on a particular language/language family. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.</p>

Take ten : contemporary British film directors Jonathan Hacker and David Price Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1991
<p>Mention "British cinema" and Hammer horror films or Ealing comedies are frequently all that come to mind. Although there has been no sustained film movement in Britain akin to the French New Wave or Italian Neo-Realism, there is a rich diversity of talent among contemporary British filmmakers that rarely receives the attention it deserves. This collection of essays and in-depth interviews examines the careers and aspirations of ten directors—Stephen Frears, Ken Loach, Lindsay Anderson, Bill Forsyth, Peter Greenaway, Derek Jarman, Nicolas Roeg, Richard Attenborough, Alan Parker, and John Schlesinger. The book looks at their different styles and techniques, their influences, their attitudes toward working with actors and raising money, and their relationships with their audiences. <b>Take Ten</b> offers revealing insights into the working methods and tastes of these important directors. It will be essential reading for all interested in British and contemporary film.</p>

ix, 275 pages ; 23 cm This is the first book to use a comparative approach to examine the effect of different constitutional and legal traditions on privatization. Focusing on privatization in the UK and France, Graham and Prosser suggest that the British Government was remarkably free from constitutional limitation, whereas in France the written constitution imposed important restrictions on the scope of privatization and on the arrangements for the pricing of shares. This detailed analysis of the effect of legal constraints on economic policy adds a constitutional dimension to what has primarily been seen as an economic issue, and will make a unique and valuable contribution to current debates in political studies Includes bibliographical references (pages 259-268) and index

'what Else Is Woman But A Foe To Friendship ... A Domestic Danger.' Sexual Morality Was Central To The Patriarchal Society Of Sixteenth- And Seventeenth- Century England, As Demonstrated By This Popular Quotation, Taken From A Biblical Commentary By St John Chrysostom. In This Fascinating And Original Book, Laura Gowing Considers What Gender Difference Meant In The Practice Of Daily Life, Examining The Working Of Gender Relations In Sex, Courtship, Marriage Conflict, And Verbal Disputes. Her Focus Is The Richly Detailed And Hitherto Unused Records Of Litigation Over Sexual Insult, Contracts Of Marriage, And Marital Separation In London, C.1560-1640. Dr. Gowing Takes A New Approach To These Legal Testimonies. She Reads Them As Texts With Complicated Layers Of Meanings In Order To Reveal Precisely How Culture, Language, Stories, And Experience Connected. Arguing That Women's And Men's Sexual Honour Had Such Different Meanings As To Make Them Incommensurable, She Reveals How, In Every Area Of Sex And Marriage, Women Were Perceived As Acting Differently, And With Different Results, From Men. This Is The First Analysis Of Women's Special Experiences In The Metropolis, And Presents Powerful Evidence For Women's Use Of Legal Agency.

Aspects of Semantic Opposition in English (Oxford Studies in Lexicography and Lexicology) Mettinger, Arthur Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford studies in lexicography and lexicology, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1994
viii, 205 pages ; 23 cm Antonymy is recognized as an important type of meaning relation in natural languages, yet there are very few detailed empirical studies of the topic. Through an analysis of a corpus of 43 contemporary English-language novels Dr Mettinger isolates ten syntactic frames within which antonyms are regularly found: these serve as a useful heuristic tool for eliciting opposites from texts. He argues that there are two kinds of antonyms: systemic opposites which have meaning relations definable in strictly semantic terms, and non-systemic opposites which require contextual and encyclopaedic knowledge for an interpretation of their relationship The author analyses systemic opposites within an autonomous semantics framework based on semantic field theory, using semantic features, semantic dimensions, and archisememes as descriptive tools. His analysis of 350 pairs of antonyms taken from Roget's Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases yields a typology of meaning-opposition in English based on syntactico-semantic criteria such as gradability and scalarity which stands in contrast to standard logic-based typologies. Among the specific topics covered are 'negative' prefixes, the problem of markedness, and the treatment of meaning-opposition from a cognitive point of view Includes bibliographical references (pages 180-197) and index 1.

The Rights of Peoples (Clarendon Paperbacks) James Crawford, Hans Kruuk, Crawford, James Oxford [England]: Clarendon Press ; New York: Oxford University Press, Oxford [England], New York, England, 1992
While the concepts of individual and collective human rights are well-known and have produced important changes in international law, there has emerged a "third generation" of human rights claims calling for the "rights of peoples." These include economic rights such as the right to development and the right to permanent sovereignty over natural resources, as well as more ambitious rights like the rights to peace and a healthy environment. This collection of essays is the first full-length study of this controversial topic, discussing from a variety of viewpoints the claims made for a third generation of peoples' rights. Is this a desirable development in human rights, or an attempt to undermine the authority of governments? The volume includes details of relevant texts and a complete bibliography.
