Patrick Bronte: Father of Genius

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Patrick Bronte (1777–1861) was the father of the famous Bronte sisters, Anne, Charlotte, and Emily, three of Victorian England`s greatest novelists, but he was a fascinating man in his own right and not nearly such an unsympathetic character as Elizabeth Gaskell`s The Life of Charlotte Bronte would have us believe. Born into poverty in Ireland, he won a scholarship to St. John`s College, Cambridge, and was ordained into the Church of England. He was perpetual curate of Haworth in Yorkshire for 41 years, bringing up four children, founding a school, and campaigning for a proper water supply. Although often portrayed as a somewhat fobidding figure, he was an opponent of capital punishment and the Poor Law Amendment Act, a supporter of limited Catholic emancipation, and a writer of poetry. This is the first serious biography of Patrick Bronte for more than 40 years. [detailed...]

Patrick Hillery: The Official Biography

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Patrick Hillery was not only a formidable politician, but also one of the most creative public figures in recent Irish history. Although he never served as Taoiseach, he was undoubtedly more influential than several of those who did during the second half of the twentieth century. Hillery`s influence on significant turning points in contemporary Irish history, including the arms crisis in 1970 and Ireland`s accession to the European Community, is considered in the light of his own concerns and preoccupations. Hillery`s recollections of the most controversial events of his career, notably the Papal visit in 1979 and attempts by leading politicians to influence the President`s decisions in 1982, are analyzed for the first time.

Patrick O`Brian`s Navy: The Illustrated Companion to Jack Aubrey`s World

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: From the moment that Master and Commander , the first of Patrick O`Brian`s sequence of 20 novels about the 19th century British Royal Navy officer Jack Aubrey and his surgeon colleague Stephen Maturin, was published in 1970, critics hailed his work as a masterpiece of historical recreation. Called `the best historical novels ever written` by The New York Times , the books have sold more than 3 million copies. This first full-color illustrated companion to the Aubrey-Maturin series, timed to benefit from the release of the blockbuster Twentieth-Century Fox film adaptation starring Russell Crowe, explains the fascinating physical details of Jack Aubrey`s fictional world. An in-depth historical reference, it brings to life the political, cultural, and physical setting of O`Brian`s novels.

Patriotic Information Systems

2007 y.
Publisher: IGI Publishing
Description: Database technology can be used for various ends, ranging from promotion of democracy to strengthening of nationalism to shoring up authoritarian regimes through misinformation. Its use affects every layer of society: from individuals to households to local governments, and is a consuming issue in the United States Government s stance on privacy, security, and technology. Patriotic Information Systems discusses how, with its non-participatory enforcement ethos, its inherent bias against freedom of information, and its massive claims on IT budget resources, the information technology security system of the future may be even less hospitable to the democratic visions which some theorists once anticipated would be among the most important contributions of information technology to society.

Patrology

2008 y.
Publisher: James Clarke Company
Description: A monumental work bringing together in an accessible and digestible form the current status of scholarship on the writings of the Eastern Fathers in the period between the Council of Chalcedon and the death of John of Damascus. The book covers an era in which pagan ideas still existed and in which the symbiosis between Empire and Church was so close as to make them seem almost one, with the Emperor in the East often playing a dominant role in religious matters, while in the West the authority of the emperors had faded, allowing the papacy to assume increasing authority. The domination of the East - reflected in the triumph of Greek over Latin as the language of administration - meant that Rome itself, and the Western provinces, were seen as rather provincial. The East faced different challenges, most conspicuously the range of theological ideas. Nestorian and Monophysite doctrines had not been suppressed by the Council of Chalcedon. New disputes arose, and in particular differences… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: This succinct, example-driven book empowers software developers who are using design patterns, arguably today`s most popular object-oriented programming concept. Design Patterns` co-author John Vlissides blends his intimate knowledge of the pattern development process with practical techniques for better pattern application. The result is a thought-provoking guide that will help you improve your next software design by putting patterns to work successfully. Pattern Hatching demystifies the fine points of patterns, placing them in the broader context of basic object-oriented design principles. It dispels many of the misconceptions about patterns that have spread in the software development community-clearly articulating what patterns are and how they ease the development process. The book also presents themes and variations on several established patterns, yielding many new insights. With the instruction in this book, you will become better able to tailor patterns to the design… [detailed...]

Description: Pattern recognition has long been studied in relation to many different (and mainly unrelated) applications, such as remote sensing, computer vision, space research, and medical imaging. In this book Professor Ripley brings together two crucial ideas in pattern recognition, statistical methods and machine learning via neural networks. Unifying principles are brought to the fore, and the author gives an overview of the state of the subject. Many examples are included to illustrate real problems in pattern recognition and how to overcome them.This is a self-contained account, ideal both as an introduction for non-specialists readers, and also as a handbook for the more expert reader.
