Sommario/riassunto

The concept of manhood was immensely important in ancient Athens, shaping its political, social, legal, and ethical systems. This book, a groundbreaking study of manhood in fourth-century Athens, is the first to provide a comprehensive examination of notions about masculinity found in the Attic orators, who represent one of the most important sources for understanding the social history of this period. While previous studies have assumed a uniform ideology about manhood, Joseph Roisman finds that Athenians had quite varied opinions about what constituted manly values and conduct. He situates the evidence for ideas about manhood found in the Attic orators in its historical, ideological, and theoretical contexts to explore various manifestations of Athenian masculinity as well as the rhetoric that both articulated and



questioned it. Roisman focuses on topics such as the nexus between manhood and age; on Athenian men in their roles as family members, friends, and lovers; on the concept of masculine shame; on relations between social and economic status and manhood; on manhood in the military and politics; on the manly virtue of self-control; and on what men feared.

Sommario/riassunto

Sustainability, electromobility, and automation in the transport sector: These megatrends are having a major impact on the overall chassis system. How exactly was discussed at chassis.tech plus 2023. "The chassis system faces numerous challenges." - with these words, Professor Dr. Peter E. Pfeffer, Munich University of Applied Sciences, has opened chassis.tech plus 2023. These include automated driving, connectivity and, as a particularly major challenge, sustainability, said the symposium's scientific director. More than 400 participants from 20 countries gathered for the 14th International Munich Chassis Symposium. Key topics at chassis.tech plus 2023 included customized and innovative chassis, integrated chassis systems, smart steering, modern braking systems and reliable wheel-tire components. The second day of the event was concluded by keynotes from Thomas



Sprengel (Porsche Engineering Services) on "Chassis development in China - overview and trends" and from Victor Underberg (Lamborghini) on "Lamborghini sports cars: evolution from ICE to PHEV". The 14th International Munich Chassis Symposium has taken place as a hybrid event on June 20 and 21, 2023 - in Munich and with a parallel livestream. Participants were able to use the four specialist sections to exchange information on the latest developments relating to chassis, steering, brakes, tires and wheels. Contents Brake and Tire Wheel Tech: New brake systems - Tire Wear and Particle Emission - Efficiency and Sustainablility - Tire Testing and Simulation Target audiences Automotive engineers and chassis specialists as well as students looking for state-of-the-art information regarding their field of activity.
