What the Greeks Did for Us

An enjoyable, accessible exploration of the legacy of ancient Greece today, across our daily lives and all forms of popular cultureOur contemporary world is inescapably Greek. Whether in a word like "pandemic," a Freudian state of mind like the "Oedipus complex," or a replica of the Parthenon in a Chinese theme park, ancient Greek culture shapes the contours of our lives. Ever since the first Roman imitators, we have been continually falling under the Greeks' spell.But how did ancient Greece spread its influence so far and wide? And how has this influence changed us?Tony Spawforth explores our classical heritage, wherever it's to be found. He reveals its legacy in everything from religion to popular culture, and unearths the darker side of Greek influence--from the Nazis' obsession with Spartan "racial purity" to the elitism of classical education.

Textbook of Algebraic Number Theory

This self-contained and comprehensive textbook of algebraic number theory is useful for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics. The book discusses proofs of almost all basic significant theorems of algebraic number theory including Dedekind's theorem on splitting of primes, Dirichlet's unit theorem, Minkowski's convex body theorem, Dedekind's discriminant theorem, Hermite's theorem on discriminant, Dirichlet's class number formula, and Dirichlet's theorem on primes in arithmetic progressions. A few research problems arising out of these results are mentioned together with the progress made in the direction of each problem.Following the classical approach of Dedekind's theory of ideals, the book aims at arousing the reader's interest in the current research being held in the subject area. It not only proves basic results but pairs them with recent developments, making the book relevant and and thought-provoking. Historical notes are given at various places. Featured with numerous related exercises and examples, this book is of significant value to students and researchers associated with the field. The book also is suitable for independent study. The only prerequisite is basic knowledge of abstract algebra and elementary number theory.

Reading Picture Books with Infants and Toddlers

Reading picture books with infants and toddlers facilitates their early language development, with far-reaching benefits for their later reading abilities and academic achievement.While the importance of reading books with children aged from 3 to 5 years is widely recognised, the benefits of reading with much younger children from 0-3 years, who are still engaged in learning their first language, are less well understood. This book will explore the seemingly simple practice of reading picture books with infants and toddlers aged 0-3 years, from a range of perspectives. Not only do book-focused adult-child interactions support language and early literacy development in multiple ways, such interactions can also, at the same time, foster intellectual, social, emotional and spiritual growth.

Cinema's Original Sin: D.W. Griffith, American Racism, and the Rise of Film Culture McEwan Paul

For over a century, cinephiles and film scholars have had to grapple with an ugly artifact that sits at the beginnings of film history. D. W. Griffith's profoundly racist epic, The Birth of a Nation, inspired controversy and protest at its 1915 release and was defended as both a true history of Reconstruction (although it was based on fiction) and a new achievement in cinematic art. Paul McEwan examines the long and shifting history of its reception, revealing how the film became not just a cinematic landmark but also an influential force in American aesthetics and intellectual life.In every decade since 1915, filmmakers, museums, academics, programmers, and film fans have had to figure out how to deal with this troublesome object, and their choices have profoundly influenced both film culture and the notion that films can be works of art. Some critics tried to set
