Sommario/riassunto |
|
Examines slavery in the Great Lakes region and the complex role of Africans from the interior in the trade.Slavery was more important in the Great Lakes region than often has been assumed and Africans from the interior played a more complex role than was previously recognised.These ten 10 studies by the most prominent historiansof the region. They reveal the connections between the peoples of the region as well as their encounters with conquering Europeans.Slavery was not a uniform phenomenon and the line between enslaved and non-slave labour was fine.This book challenges the assertion that domestic slavery increased in Africa as the result of the international trade.HENRI MEDARD is a Lecturer in History at the University of Paris I Pantheon Sorbonne and Cemaj;SHANE DOYLE is a Lecturer in History at Leeds UniversityContributors include: DAVID SCHOENBRUN, JAN-GEORG DEUTSCH, MARK LEOPOLD, RICHARD REID, HOLLY HANSON, EDWARD I.

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This text explores methodologies that can be usefully applied to various realistic problems in molecular spectroscopy and chemical dynamics. It covers the direct evaluation of reaction rate constants for both electronically adiabatic chemical reactions on a single adiabatic potential energy surface and non-adiabatic chemical reactions in which two or more adiabatic potential energy surfaces are involved. It also discusses the non-adiabatic tunneling phenomenon that represents one class of non-adiabatic transitions on which the authors have made an extensive research so far-- |
