The book aims to describe the history of Chan (Japanese Zen) School thought from the standpoint of social history. Chan, a school of East Asian Buddhism, was influential on all levels of societies in the region because of its intellectual and aesthetic appeal. In China, Chan infiltrated all levels of society, mainly because it engaged with society and formed the mainstream of Buddhism from the tenth or eleventh centuries through to the twentie...

A definitive new history of the origins, evolution, and scope of the ancient Greek city-stateThe Greek polis, or city-state, was a resilient and adaptable political institution founded on the principles of citizenship, freedom, and equality. Emerging around 650 BCE and enduring to 350 CE, it offered a means for collaboration among fellow city-states and social bargaining between a community and its elites‿but at what cost? Polis proposes a pan...

This work examines a test case for the relationship between the polis and the Hellenistic empire focusing specifically on the interaction between Antiochus III and the cities of Western Asia Minor (226-188 BC). Such a study is possible thanks to a rich epigraphical documentation which has been reproduced extensively and translated in an appendix to this book. Dr Ma approaches this material from a variety of angles: narrative history, structura...

Excerpt from The Plants of the BibleIn Ecclesiastes xii. 5, it is said, The almond tree shall ¿ourish. This has often been supposed to refer to the resemblance between the ¿owers of the almond and the hoary locks of old age. But this interpretation is not borne out by an examination of the blossom of the almond, which is pinkish, and not pure White. The passage rather appears to refer to the hastening of old age. AS the almond-tree ushers in s...

This important and wide-ranging book examines the relationship between the Greek city-states and the Hellenistic empire, focusing specifically on the interaction between Antiochos III and the cities of Western Asia Minor. Dr Ma approaches this material from a variety of angles: narrative history, structural analyses of imperial power, and analyses of the functions played by language and stereotype in the interaction between rulers and ruled. T...

Aurorae often break down into elongated, cylindrically symmetric space-charge filaments (with radius r) parallel to the local uniform geomagnetic field. We study the ion kinetic theory in auroral plasmas in the presence of the strong electric field (E) produced by the filaments. A method of characteristics is used to solve both the collision-free and collisional Boltzmann equation under different E and initial ion density (n). If E is constant...

This is a companion monograph to Ma & St-Maurice: Ion Kinetic Theory of Auroral Plasmas, LAP Lambert Academic Publishing, 2011. Nonlinear waves observed in space plasmas are featured by simple-wave solitary structures and amplitude-modulated oscilliton wavepackets. Their wavefields are so strong that the traditional weak-field KdV formulation is not suitable to be adopted. A self-similar two-fluid model is thus used to account for the excitati...

Orbital debris poses significant risks to space activities and is a threat extending into the foreseeable future. While identification and tracking of orbital threats is actively pursued in general, we focus on deorbiting very small satellites of the nanosat or cubesat size with miniature tether systems. Ch.2 describes the basic principles of electric tether physics, and outlines the geophysical environment of LEOs where tethered nanosat flyin...

Excerpt from The Plants of the Bible Everything mentioned in the Bible is worthy of our attentive consideration. The very words of the original text, written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, call for diligent study, and the more we examine them in dependence on the aid of that Spirit, the more light do we find shining upon them. The student of Gods Word cannot search too deeply or too minutely into its hidden treasures. The most learned...

This book combines archaeology and epigraphy to discuss portraits in ancient art within the context of city-states honouring individuals through erecting statues, and families imitating this practice. This tells us a lot about the history of these cities and how ancient art worked as a construction of relations during the Hellenistic period.

Information security is a management problem, not a technology one. Experience indicates that technology cannot provide all the answers to the problems posed by people in the context of information security management (ISM). Although many different frameworks and guidelines have been proposed by researchers, practitioners, consultants, government and organizations, current information security objectives and practices are inconsistent or misle...
