Sommario/riassunto

This volume of essays explores the rise of parliament in the historical



imagination of early modern England. The enduring controversy about the nature of parliament informs nearly all debates about the momentous religious, political and governmental changes of the period - most significantly, the character of the Reformation and the causes of the Revolution. Meanwhile, scholars of ideas have emphasised the historicist turn that shaped political culture. Religious and intellectual imperatives from the sixteenth century onwards evoked a new interest in the evolution of parliament, framing the ways that contemporaries interpreted, legitimised and contested Church, state and political hierarchies.

Sommario/riassunto

Contains 15 papers from the 1990 IAS Congress. Synthesizing industrial and academic research and integrating sedimentology, petroleum geology, geostatistics and geomathematics, this presents approaches to quantifying geology so as to give better input to 3-D numerical reservoir modelling methods.
