Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Leviathan rigorously argues that civil peace and social unity are best achieved by the establishment of a commonwealth through social contract. Hobbes's ideal commonwealth is ruled by a sovereign power responsible for protecting the security of the commonwealth and granted absolute authority to ensure the common defense. In his introduction, Hobbes describes this commonwealth as an artificial person and as a body politic that mimics the human body. The frontispiece to the first edition of Leviathan, which Hobbes helped design, portrays the commonwealth as a gigantic human form built out of the bodies of its citizens, the sovereign as its head. Hobbes calls this figure the Leviathan, a word derived from the Hebrew for sea monster and the name of a monstrous sea creature appearing in the Bible; the image constitutes the definitive metaphor for Hobbes's perfect government. His text attempts to prove the necessity of the Leviathan for preserving peace and preventing civil war.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book introduces beginning undergraduate students of computing and computational disciplines to modern parallel and distributed programming languages and environments, including map-reduce, general-purpose graphics processing units (GPUs), and graphical user interfaces (GUI) for mobile applications. The book also guides instructors via selected essays on what and how to introduce parallel and distributed computing topics into the undergraduate curricula, including quality criteria for parallel algorithms and programs, scalability, parallel performance, fault tolerance, and energy efficiency analysis. The chapters designed for students serve as supplemental textual material for early computing core courses, which students can use for learning and exercises. The illustrations, examples, and sequences of smaller steps to build larger concepts are also tools that could be inserted into existing instructor material. The chapters intended for instructors are written at a teaching level and serve as a rigorous reference to include learning goals, advice on presentation and use of thematerial, within early and advanced undergraduate courses. Since Parallel and Distributed Computing (PDC) now permeates most computing activities, imparting a broad-based skill set in PDC technology at various levels in the undergraduate educational fabric woven by Computer Science (CS) and Computer Engineering (CE) programs as well as related computational disciplines has become essential. This book and others in this series aim to address the need for lack of suitable textbook support for integrating PDC-related topics into undergraduate courses, especially in the early curriculum. The chapters are aligned with the curricular guidelines promulgated by the NSF/IEEE-TCPP Curriculum Initiative on Parallel and Distributed Computing for CS and CE students and with the CS2013 ACM/IEEE Computer Science Curricula.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Presumed first edition/first printing. x, [4], 276 pages. Illustrations. Occasional footnotes. Cover has some wear and soiling Inscribed by Stella Hutcheson Dabney (widow of Lewis Meriwether Dabney) with hand-written gift card also signed by his widow laid in. From an on-line posting: "Lewis Meriwether Dabney had a long and honorable career as a lawyer and citizen. The book consists of an excellently compiled and finely written biography by Mrs. Dabney, which includes an analysis of the character and mental attributes of Lewis Dabney, written by his brother, Samuel H. Dabney, a Houston lawyer; many of the papers of Lewis Dabney; and a foreword by another brother, Dr. Charles William Dabney, also of Houston. Born in Virginia Lewis Meriwether Dabney was born in Hampden-Sidney, Price Edward County, Virginia, descended form prominent families of the Old Dominion. He attended the College of Hampden-Sidney, an institution founded I 1776 by Patrick Henry and others, but transferred in 1882 to the University of Texas, when his father, Dr. Robert Lewis Dabney, moved to Texas to become a member of the faculty of the University of Texas upon the opening of this institution. Dr. Dabney had held the chair of systematic and polemic theology in Union Theological Seminary in Hampden-Sidney. In the University of Texas he filled the chair of philosophy, psychology and political economy. Lewis Dabney took an elective course, largely classical, in the new University, and then the law course. Many men who afterward rose to distinction were his classmates, among them A.S. Burleson, T.W. Gregory, R.L. Batts, R.L. Henry, R.E.L. Knight, W.J.J. Smith, and William Thompson. In 1888 Mr. Dabney moved to Dallas and entered upon the practice of law. In 1895 he was united in marriage with Miss Stella Hutcheson of Houston, also of Virginia parentage on both sides, the daughter of Captain Joseph Hutcheson, member of Congress. He soon attained distinction as a lawyer, especially in the field of commercial and financial law, to which he devoted himself exclusively after the first few years. Those who knew him prized him for his legal ability, and as a scholar, thinker and gentleman who had the courage of his convictions and rare gifts of expression, together with a well-developed sense of humor Preferred Private Life These attributes and qualities are reflected in a number of his papers and letters that are reproduced in the book. Notable among these is his address before the Texas Bar Association in 1910, a satirical commentary upon court procedure in Texas, entitled Pleading and Practice in the Land of Canaan, his address before the Dallas Bar Association in 1917, entitled The Homestead Law Considered From an Economic Standpoint, and the letter written June 25, 1917 to his wife and children, and found with his will and read four years later. But, as his brother, Dr. Charles William Dabney, says in the foreword: Many of his papers are lost and much of his best work in unrecorded. He loved the quiet life of a scholar in his library, and was at his best in private conferences in his office or in the company of his friends. There he shone as few men have done. Wife Sketches Character In her introduction to the book, Mrs. Dabney gives a picture of her husband that will be recognized by all who knew him intimately. These passages from it are striking. The roots of his being deep down in the traditions of Virginia, his hopes and ambitions flowering in the West, he lived in two civilizations, modified and influenced by both. Himself a strong individual and conservative, he believed in a republican representative government developed by the Anglo-Saxon races.…
