Sommario/riassunto

These essays, by experts in the field from five countries, examine Plutarch's interpretative and artistic reshaping of his historical sources in representative lives. Diverse essays treat literary elements such as the parallelism which renders a pair of lives a unit or the themes which unify the lives. Others consider the selecting, combining, simplifying, and enlarging employed in composition. The construction of a Plutarchian life, the essays demonstrate, required careful selection and creative reworking of the historical material available.

Sommario/riassunto

The journal Public Transport presents a range of research in the area of Public Transport: Planning and Operations with the aim of advancing the state of the art and the state of the practice in computer-aided systems and scheduling in public transport. The Journal considers all subjects in this area, especially with a focus on planning and scheduling; the common ground is the use of computer-aided methods and operations research techniques to improve information management, network and route planning, vehicle and crew scheduling and rostering, vehicle monitoring and management, and practical experience with scheduling and public transport planning methods. Besides theoretical papers, the journal also publishes case studies and applications. Public Transport benefits an audience of transport operators, and consulting firms and academic institutions involved in development, utilization or research of computer-aided planning and scheduling in public transport.
