Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Note to the ReaderThis book represents an extensive scholarly investigation into the transformative influence of papal rhetoric on the evolution of Just War Theory during the First Crusade. My intention has been to present a rigorous yet accessible synthesis of historical theology, canonical developments, and political motivations that drove the medieval Church toward a complex and often controversial intersection with warfare.Throughout the text, I have endeavored to clarify how religious narratives shaped moral reasoning and justified actions in medieval Christendom. The goal is neither to condone nor condemn past actors from the vantage point of modern morality, but rather to provide a nuanced understanding of how ethical doctrines evolve within historical contexts and how these developments reverberate into contemporary discourses.To facilitate engagement with the subject matter, extensive citations of primary sources-such as papal letters, conciliar decrees, and medieval chronicles-have been employed to ground the analysis firmly within its historical reality. Scholarly debates have been respectfully acknowledged, aiming always for balance and intellectual honesty. Readers should approach these sources not merely as historical relics, but as living testimonies to the dynamic interplay between faith, power, ethics, and human conflict.I encourage readers to engage critically yet empathetically with the complexity of the historical issues discussed herein. Understanding the motivations, assumptions, and spiritual anxieties of past societies allows us not only a clearer insight into their actions but also illuminates ongoing ethical challenges in contemporary religious, political, and humanitarian spheres.It is my earnest hope that readers will find this examination both enlightening and thought-provoking, ultimately inspiring deeper reflection on how history informs our present moral and ethical landscapes.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Note to Readers This book is meant to be read from the front, like a story, though it can also be opened anywhere, like a guide, and a few words about how it is built may help the reader find their way. It comes in four movements. The first, the compass, names the four forces, love, sex, money, and freedom, that move every union, and sets out the vocabulary the rest of the book will use. The second and longest, the field guide, is the heart of the thing: a catalogue of the kinds of relationship human beings now form, each set down as a naturalist sets down a species, by its traits, its range, its habits, and the conditions under which it flourishes or fails. The third, the geography, carries the field guide around the world, tracing how the same forms take on different meanings as they cross from one culture to another. The fourth, the forces, turns to the pressures, technological, economic, and ideological, that are remaking the whole terrain in real time. A conclusion gathers what the journey has shown. Three commitments shape the telling. The first is that the book does not rank its specimens. A live-in arrangement in south Delhi is not set above or below a fifty-year arranged marriage in a Tamil village or a polyamorous constellation in Brooklyn; each is described as itself, and the reader is left to do the judging. The second is that every claim about how we live now is anchored, wherever possible, to a number and to a history, on the conviction that intimate life is best understood at the seam where private feeling meets public structure, and that the truth lives in the friction between the two; the reader will therefore hear, in the same paragraph, something of the couples' therapist and something of the sociologist, by design, because the subject demands both. The third is that the book wears its uncertainty openly, for the numbers describing love and marriage are slippery, and where the evidence is thin or contested it is reported as such rather than smoothed into false confidence. What follows, then, is neither a brief for marriage nor a brief against it, neither a lament for a vanished golden age nor a celebration of the new for its own sake. It is an attempt to look clearly at the strange and various ways human beings are joining their lives in the first quarter of the twenty-first century, to sort those ways with care, to explain how we came to them, and to ask, without pretending to settle, what each of them is finally for. The book does not tell the reader where to go. It offers a map.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Preface>This book begins with that cry at Clermont, but it does not treat the First Crusade as the result of one voice alone. No speech, however powerful, can explain why princes, monks, knights, peasants, merchants, women, children, and whole households left their homes and moved across Europe and Anatolia toward the eastern Mediterranean. The crusade became possible because a series of older tensions had already made the ground ready. A reforming papacy had learned to speak with a new moral confidence. Western aristocratic violence had become an urgent religious problem. Byzantium had suffered catastrophic losses in Anatolia. The Seljuk world was divided by rival dynasties. The Fatimid caliphate watched events from Egypt. In every direction, the political map was fractured, and the religious imagination was alive with danger and promise. The familiar story often reduces these events to a single opposition, Christian West against Muslim East. The reality was more difficult. Latin princes distrusted one another. The Byzantine emperor sought help, but not necessarily the independent armies that arrived at Constantinople. Muslim rulers competed with Muslim rulers, and Sunni and Shia political traditions faced one another across deep divisions. Christian communities in the eastern Mediterranean had their own histories, languages, and interests, which did not always match those of the newcomers from the West. Armenians, Syriac Christians, Greeks, Jews, Arabs, Turks, Kurds, and Franks lived through the same crisis differently. A narrative history must make room for those differences, even when the pace of events is fast. The chapters that follow therefore move between councils and camps, churches and market roads, court politics and hunger. They follow the preaching of Urban II, the alarming force of popular enthusiasm, the slaughter of Jewish communities along the Rhine, the hard bargaining at Constantinople, the sieges of Nicaea and Antioch, and the final approach to Jerusalem. They also attend to the less celebrated conditions that decide the fate of armies: weather, animals, supply, disease, fortifications, treachery, rumours, holy relics, and the ability to persuade exhausted people that endurance still has meaning.At the centre of this history lies a moral difficulty that cannot be removed by admiration for courage or by contempt for the past. The First Crusade created stories of sacrifice and deliverance for many of its participants. It also produced massacre, dispossession, and memories of terror that lasted long after the banners had vanished from the walls of Jerusalem. The destruction of Jewish communities in the Rhineland and the killing that followed the capture of Jerusalem must not be made incidental to a tale of triumph. They belong at the centre of any honest account, because they reveal what happens when sacred purpose joins military force and a population is turned into an enemy beyond mercy.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Note to ReadersThis book is the culmination of a journey through dusty manuscripts, arcane glosses, papal decrees, and sermons that once echoed from cathedral pulpits to rural shrines. It is written with the conviction that theology, history, and devotion are not separate spheres but interwoven textures of the medieval Christian imagination.Readers will encounter here a synthesis that is both critical and devotional, both structural and narrative. I have aimed to walk the thin line between theological exegesis and historiographical reconstruction-between what indulgences were believed to be, and what they actually became in the social and spiritual economies of crusading Europe.Some sections of this book are technical, delving into juridical codices or scholastic distinctions between culpa and poena. Others lean into the pastoral and popular, examining what a peasant, monk, or knight may have believed when they fastened a cross to their cloak. I invite readers from all backgrounds-whether scholars of canon law or curious seekers of spiritual history-to traverse these pages not only as students of crusading but as witnesses to the fervent hopes and fraught realities of redemption.This is not a polemic, nor an apologia. Rather, it is a meditation on how a theological idea-that sins could be absolved by action-moved men to war, women to prayer, and popes to bind heaven's keys to earthly vows.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Note to ReadersThis book invites readers into the fraught and often unsettling terrain of holy violence-where faith meets fear, and where martyrdom is claimed as both glory and grief. It is a comparative study that seeks neither to harmonize nor to condemn, but to understand.In exploring Christian and Islamic traditions side by side, the aim is not to flatten difference but to illuminate the internal coherence and historical contingency of each. The chapters trace theological arguments, poetic expressions, legal constructions, and collective memories that gave meaning to suffering, justified war, and sanctified death.You will find in this book martyrdom as theology, as identity, as politics, and as liturgy. The sources quoted are not mere artifacts; they are declarations of belief, at times dangerous, at times sublime.Whether you come to this study as a historian, theologian, believer, skeptic, or seeker, may it provoke deeper thought, more complex questions, and above all, a respectful reckoning with the enduring power of sacred ideals.This is not a book of final answers-it is a map of entangled traditions, where every turn into the past gestures toward our present condition.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Author's NoteThe diagrams, charts, genealogies, and maps in this book are interpretive and, in several cases, deliberately schematic or illustrative rather than precise. Where they present quantitative figures - army strengths, territorial extent, revenue flows, the intensity of Mongol pressure - those figures are, except where they reproduce a specific chronicle claim for the purpose of criticising it, conservative modern reconstructions or notional indices designed to convey proportion and relationship rather than exact measurement, for the reasons set out at length in the chapters on the problem of numbers and on the sources. They are offered as aids to understanding the shape of the history, not as a spurious quantification of a past that did not measure itself. The genealogical, administrative, and lineage diagrams represent relationships and structures as the best current scholarship understands them, simplified for clarity. The reader should treat every chart as an argument made visible, not as a data table, and should weigh it with the same critical attention that the text asks be brought to the chronicles themselves. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Note to ReadersThis book is written with a dual audience in mind: scholars of medieval history and theology, and readers interested in the enduring tensions between faith, violence, and ethical reasoning.You will find in these pages a close reading of City of God interwoven with the lived realities of crusader society-its sermons, its canon law, its papal bulls, its battlefield decisions. Each chapter seeks to move between text and context, between the abstractions of theological doctrine and the practical exigencies of medieval holy war.Readers unfamiliar with Augustine's corpus will find accessible translations and commentaries, while those steeped in his philosophy are invited to explore fresh connections to the ideology of Crusade. The book resists both uncritical sanctification and simplistic condemnation; it instead pursues a nuanced understanding of how a 5th-century bishop's thought was reinterpreted in the fires of 11th-13th century violence.The extensive appendices and bibliography are designed to support both further research and critical engagement. Latin and vernacular sources are referenced with care, and translations are drawn from respected scholarly editions unless otherwise noted.This is not a definitive answer to the ethics of the Crusades. Rather, it is an invitation to wrestle with the theological legacy that shaped them.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Note to ReadersThis book invites you into a contested spiritual landscape-one where not all swords were raised with divine sanction and not all prayers blessed the war banners of Christendom. It explores the undercurrent of dissent, often marginalized or dismissed, that ran through the very institution promoting crusade ideology.The structure of the book blends chronology with thematic analysis, offering both a diachronic and synchronic view of opposition to crusading. Primary sources have been treated with textual sensitivity, and in many cases, modern translations or critical editions have been used to ensure accessibility.While theological dissent may not always appear revolutionary in modern terms, within its own context it was radical, subversive, and at times dangerous. This study seeks not only to document those voices but to listen deeply to what they questioned, feared, and hoped.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - About The Book This book asks something unusual of you. It asks you to take seriously a subject that most people meet, if they meet it at all, as a semester of unmotivated bookkeeping - rows and columns, arithmetic without evident purpose, a mechanical grind of elimination toward an answer nobody explained the point of. That version of linear algebra is not wrong, exactly. It is simply the least interesting thing that can truthfully be said about it, in roughly the way that 'a sequence of chemical reactions' is the least interesting truthful description of a living cell. What I have tried to write instead is a book about what linear algebra means: why a subject built from such austere materials - arrows, grids, lists of numbers - should turn out to underwrite search engines and quantum mechanics, medical imaging and machine translation, the stability of bridges and the ranking of web pages and the strange competence of the language models that have arrived in the last few years. That is not a coincidence, and it is not because linear algebra is a grab-bag of tricks that happens to be useful in many places. It is because linearity is the one kind of complexity we have genuinely solved, and because a startling amount of the world is either linear or willing to pretend to be over short enough distances.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - ABOUT THE BOOKFor thirteen years at the turn of the fourteenth century, the Sultan of Delhi did what almost no ruler of the pre-modern world managed and what most who attempted it failed to achieve: he fixed the prices of an entire urban economy and made the fixing hold. Grain and cloth, horses and cattle, slaves and sugar, and the whole miscellany of the bazaar down to caps and needles - all were brought under a single comprehensive schedule, policed by an apparatus of surveillance and terror, and held steady through good harvests and bad, through war and peace, in the largest city of its world. Then, within months of the Sultan's death, the whole system collapsed, and the prices sprang free.The Price of an Empire is the full story of that extraordinary experiment: the market regulations of Alauddin Khalji. It is a book about how the system worked - the extraction from a squeezed countryside that fed the cheap city, the granaries and the bound grain-carriers, the financed merchants who kept the controlled markets stocked, the three independent channels of spies who watched every transaction, the savage punishments that made evasion unthinkable. It is a book about why the system existed - the Mongol threat that demanded a great standing army, and the cheap prices that alone could make that army affordable. And it is a book about what the system meant - for the soldier who lived well on his fixed wage, for the merchant who traded under the shadow of the knife, for the peasant whose half-harvest underwrote the whole, and for our understanding of what states can and cannot do in the economy.Written for the general reader and grounded throughout in the medieval sources and the modern scholarship, the book reckons honestly with both the achievement and its cost. It tells of a marvel of administration that astonished its age and anticipated, by six centuries, the command economies of the modern world; and it tells of the suffering, the coercion, and the concentration of power on which that marvel rested. It follows the system from its birth in the besieged capital of 1303 to its swift collapse and its long afterlife, and it draws from the whole a lesson about power and its price: that what is command dies with the commander, while what is genuine technique endures. This is the story of the most regulated economy of the medieval world - a demonstration of what control can accomplish, and of what it costs. Nandi, Rickbed (illustrator).…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Nephropathic cystinosis is a serious childhood lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the CTNS gene. These mutations prevent normal removal of cystine from lysosomes and lead to progressive damage in many organs. Although cysteamine has changed the disease from a usually fatal childhood condition into a chronic adult disorder, many complications still continue over time. These include renal Fanconi syndrome, muscle weakness, hypothyroidism, hypogonadism, swallowing problems, and neurocognitive difficulties. This suggests that reducing lysosomal cystine alone is not enough.This independently conducted and self-funded mixed-method study combines primary field observation with a large systems biology dataset containing 28 sheets and 25,000 rows. The dataset was curated from disease registries, peer-reviewed studies, structural databases, and clearly labelled computational expansions. The analysis used multi-omics integration, variant scoring tools, protein structure confidence mapping, molecular docking across six cystinosin conformations, and graph neural network drug repurposing methods.The findings support a new understanding of cystinosis. Rather than being only a simple cystine storage disorder, it appears to be a network disease involving lysosomes, mitochondria, autophagy, and epigenomic regulation. Important findings include a gradual increase in the age at which renal replacement therapy begins, major pharmacokinetic differences between delayed-release and immediate-release cysteamine, stronger corneal improvement with Cystadrops than with low-dose cysteamine eye drops, widespread kidney DNA hypermethylation in Ctns knockout mice, and strong performance of an ensemble model for classifying CTNS variants.The study also identifies several promising beyond-cysteamine therapeutic directions. These include bicalutamide plus cysteamine, mTOR inhibition, TFEB-CLEAR activators such as genistein and luteolin, mitochondrial antioxidants such as MitoQ and SS-31, and haematopoietic stem cell gene therapies including CTNS-RD-04 and DFT383. Thus, the article proposes a unified framework in which functional recovery in child cystinosis will likely require combined action on cystine clearance, autophagy signalling, mitochondrial function, redox balance, and epigenomic regulation, with further progress accelerated by AI-driven therapeutic modelling.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - PrefaceThere is a particular kind of book that a fast-moving technical field eventually demands. Not a textbook, because a textbook must settle on a pedagogy and a pedagogy requires the field to hold still. Not a survey paper, because a survey paper is bound by the conventions of its venue and the patience of its reviewers. Not a popular account, because a popular account must spend its budget on metaphor. What the field demands is a compendium: a dense, organised, cross-referenced record of what is known, what is built, what it costs, what it scores, what it breaks, and who says so.That is what this book attempts for generative artificial intelligence as the field stands in the middle of 2026.The ambition is coverage. A reader should be able to come to this volume with a question about the Kullback-Leibler term in a variational bound, or about the memory bandwidth of an accelerator, or about which post-training algorithm replaced Proximal Policy Optimisation in reasoning models, or about what the European Union requires of a general-purpose model provider from August 2025 onward, and find a serious answer in one place. The topics are not usually collected together. The mathematics of score matching and the capital expenditure plans of hyperscale cloud providers do not appear in the same documents, and yet anyone working seriously in this field needs both, because the second determines what the first can be run at.…
