A Military history of the 1793-95 campaign in Flanders and the Netherlands

As the title of his new book suggests, Richard Poirier believes that the United States has been uncommonly hospitable to literary and artistic experimentation, to innovation and daring. Just as the nation likes to imagine itself as always in a state of becoming and renewal, some of its greatest writers have seemed willing to accept a measure of neglect during their lifetimes in return for the promise of posthumous triumph.

In this controversial new book, Christopher A. Colmo offers a view of the 10th century Arab philosopher Alfarabi that draws attention to a previously unremarked aspect of his philosophic project. Colmo argues that as a philosopher Alfarabi felt compelled to question the philosophic tradition as deeply as he might question religious tradition, and this he did with such power and brilliance that the result was a new philosophic perspective. With unique access to both Islamic and pagan philosophical traditions, Alfarabi took the side of Greek philosophy as representative of human reason and defended its ultimate autonomy. However, Alfarabi went further, moving away from Plato and Aristotle's vision of philosophy as divine to an understanding of philosophy in a way that allowed it to be seen as knowledge and action in the service of human power and happiness. Alfarabi offers a powerful new answer to the question, why philosophy? His subtle defense of and debate with the ancients raises questions of hermeneutics as well as substantive questions of philosophy, politics, and theology. Breaking With Athens sheds new light on Alfarabi's enduring answers to perennial questions, making it essential for students of philosophy, political science, theology, and the history of ideas.

Computer scientists have increasingly been enlisted as "bioinformaticians" to assist molecular biologists in their research. This book is a practical introduction to bioinformatics for these computer scientists. The chapters are in-depth discussions by expert bioinformaticians on both general techniques and specific approaches to a range of selected bioinformatics problems. The book is organized into clusters of chapters on the following topics: - Overview of modern molecular biology and a broad spectrum of techniques from computer science -- data mining, machine learning, mathematical modeling, sequence alignment, data integration, workflow development, etc. - In-depth discussion of computational recognition of functional and regulatory sites in DNA sequences. - Incisive discussion of computational prediction of secondary structure of RNA sequences. - Overview of computational prediction of protein cellular localization, and selected discussions of inference of protein function. - Overview of methods for discovering protein-protein interactions. - Detailed discussion of approaches to gene expression analysis for the diagnosis of diseases, the treatment of diseases, and the understanding of gene functions. - Case studies on analysis of phylogenies, functional annotation of proteins, construction of purposebuilt integrated biological databases, and development of workflows underlying the large-scale-effort gene discovery. - Written in a practical, in-depth tutorial style - Covers a broad range of bioinformatics topics and of techniques used in bioinformatics - Comprehensive overviews of the development of various approaches in a number of selectedtopics - In-depth exposition of a number of important topics - Contributions by prominent researchers: Vladimir Bajic, Ming Li, Kenta Nakai, Limsoon Wong, Cathy Wu, etc. - Extensive, integrated references to background liter
