• Sommario/riassunto: The text used for this edition of Euripides' Hecuba is based on the editor's own manuscript studies; a prose translation, introduction and detailed commentary are provided. The introduction and the commentary treat the structure of the play and its parts, the interpretation of it, and also problems of staging it; they also give historical and factual information. They are written in such a way that they can also be used by readers without a knowledge of Greek.; Troja ist gefallen, alle Männer erschlagen und ihre Frauen auf dem Weg in die Sklaverei. Polyxene, Tochter der Königin Hekabe, wird auf dem Grab des Achilleus geopfert, nachdem ihre Mutter vergeblich versucht hat, ihr Leben zu retten. Polydoros, jüngster Sohn des Königs Priamos, war von den Eltern mit einem Goldschatz bei dem Thrakerkönig Polymestor in Sicherheit gebracht worden, doch nach dem Fall der Stadt tötete der König das Kind und eignete sich das Gold an. Als die leidgeprüfte Hekabe dies erfährt, lockt sie ihn zu sich, blendet ihn und tötet seine beiden Söhne. Das Menschenopfer, die grausame Blutrache und die Düsterkeit der hier dargestellten Welt, aus der sich die Götter ; anscheinend zurückgezogen haben, mögen den modernen Zuschauer und Leser befremden. Man kann aber zu einem historisch angemesseneren Verständnis dieses "schwärzesten Stückes des Euripides" gelangen, wenn man versucht, es mit den Augen der Zeitgenossen zu sehen.

• Sommario/riassunto: Winner of the 2013 New York Book Show Award in Scholarly/Professional Book Design From Ernest and Julio Gallo to Francis Ford Coppola, Italians have shaped the history of California wine. More than any other group, Italian immigrants and their families have made California viticulture one of America’s most distinctive and vibrant achievements, from boutique vineyards in the Sonoma hills to the massive industrial wineries of the Central Valley. But how did a small group of nineteenth-century immigrants plant the roots that flourished into a world-class industry? Was there something particularly “Italian” in their success?In this fresh, fascinating account of the ethnic origins of California wine, Simone Cinotto rewrites a century-old triumphalist story. He demonstrates that these Italian visionaries were not skilled winemakers transplanting an immemorial agricultural tradition, even if California did resemble the rolling Italian countryside of their native Piedmont. Instead, Cinotto argues that it was the wine-makers’ access to “social capital,” or the ethnic and familial ties that bound them to their rich wine-growing heritage, and not financial leverage or direct enological experience, that enabled them to develop such a successful and influential wine business. Focusing on some of the most important names in wine history—particularly Pietro Carlo Rossi, Secondo Guasti, and the Gallos—he chronicles a story driven by ambition and creativity but realized in a complicated tangle of immigrant entrepreneurship, class struggle, racial inequality, and a new world of consumer culture.Skillfully blending regional, social, and immigration history, Soft Soil, Black Grapes takes us on an original journey into the cultural construction of ethnic economies and markets, the social dynamics of American race, and the fully transnational history of American wine.

• Sommario/riassunto: William Blake's work demonstrates two tendencies that are central to social media: collaboration and participation. Not only does Blake cite and adapt the work of earlier authors and visual artists, but contemporary authors, musicians, and filmmakers feel compelled to use Blake in their own creative acts. This book identifies and examines Blake's work as a social and participatory network, a phenomenon described as zoamorphosis, which encourages - even demands - that others take up Blake's creative mission. The authors rexamine the history of the digital humanities in relation to the study

• Sommario/riassunto: This book gives a comprehensive overview of hydrogen negative ion sources and their applications to particle acceleration and nuclear fusion. The book begins with fundamental aspects of negative ion production by volume and surface processes in hydrogen and its isotopes. It covers key topics, such as the need for separation of negative ion production and extraction regions, the need for lowering the work function of the plasma electrode by using caesium vapor or special materials for caesium-free sources, and the ion extractor structure required for hydrogen negative ion sources. Chapters covering various specific ion sources and applications are written by scientists who participated in their development and include sources for accelerators and for neutral beam injection into controlled nuclear fusion reactors.
