Sommario/riassunto

This book is an intellectual biography of the Venetian historian and theologian Paolo Sarpi (1552-1623). It analyses Sarpi's natural philosophy, religious ideas and political thought. Kainulainen argues that Sarpi was influenced by Neostoicism, Neoepicureanism and the sixteenth-century scientific revolution; that Sarpi was a fideist and Christian mortalist who, while critical of the contemporary Church of Rome, admired the purity of the early church. Focusing on Sarpi’s separation between church and state, his use of absolutism, divine right of kings and reason of state, the book offers a fresh perspective on medieval and reformation traditions. It will be of interest to those interested in early-modern intellectual history and the interplay between science, religion and politics in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century political discourse.

Sommario/riassunto

Other than that it tastes delicious with butter, what do you know about the knobbily-armoured, scarlet creature staring back at you from your fancy dinner plate? From ocean to stock pot, there are two sides to every animal story. For instance, since there are species of lobsters without claws, how exactly do you define a lobster? And how did a pauper's food transform into a meal synonymous with a luxurious splurge? To answer these questions on behalf of lobster the animal is Richard J. King, a former fishmonger and commercial lobsterman, who has chronicled the creature's long nat

Sommario/riassunto

This book celebrates the remarkable contributions of Panos M. Pardalos, offering a comprehensive collection of 19 rigorously peer-reviewed articles that span the breadth of his research interests. From deterministic and stochastic global optimization to combinatorial optimization, this volume provides insights into solving modern applied problems in planning theory, support vector machines, data mining, supply chain optimization, and more. Readers will encounter a diverse array of topics, including Pareto optimality, game and equilibrium theory, vehicle routing problems, energy systems, and financial markets. Each article stands alone in its scientific, methodological, and practical individuality, making this collection a must-read for both junior university students and seasoned professionals. The contributing authors, many of whom are former students and now esteemed professors, offer unique perspectives and cutting-edge research findings. This book is an invaluable resource for researchers, academics, and practitioners in fields such as operations research, resource management, computer science, and data analysis. Whether you are taking your first steps in optimization or are an advanced professional seeking to deepen your understanding, this volume provides the tools and insights necessary to navigate the complex landscape of applied optimization problems.
