Analysing Ireland and Germany, two largely unconnected societies in which the past was peculiarly contemporary in politics and where the meaning of the nation was highly contested, this volume examines how narratives of origins, religion, territory and race produced by historians who were central figures in the cultural and intellectual histories of both countries interacted; it also explores the similarities and differences between the interactions in these societies. Histories of Nationalism in Ireland and Germany investigates whether we can speak of a particular common form of nationalism in Europe. The book draws attention to cultural and intellectual links between the Irish and the Germans during this period, and what this meant for how people in either society understood their national identity in a pivotal time for the development of the historical discipline in Europe. Contributing to a growing body of research on the 'transnationality' of nationalism, this new study of a hitherto-unexplored area will be of interest to historians of modern Germany and Ireland, comparative and transnational historians, and students and scholars of nationalism, as well as those interested in the relationship between biography and writing history"--Provided by publisher.HistoriographyPolitical aspectsGermanyHistoryHistoriographyPolitical aspectsIrelandHistoryHistoriographyEuropeHistoryNationalismEuropeHistoryNationalismGermanyHistoryNationalismIrelandHistoryEuropean historyGermanyHistoriographyGermanyRelationsIrelandIrelandHistoriographyIrelandRelationsGermanyHistoriographyPolitical aspectsHistory.HistoriographyPolitical aspectsHistory.HistoriographyHistory.NationalismHistory.NationalismHistory.NationalismHistory.320.540941509/034Nagle Shane1987-1065829UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910155005603321Histories of nationalism in Ireland and Germany2548057UNINA05400nam 22006735 450 991029998510332120200703221411.03-319-06254-910.1007/978-3-319-06254-9(CKB)3710000000261983(EBL)1965101(OCoLC)908083168(SSID)ssj0001372532(PQKBManifestationID)11881969(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001372532(PQKBWorkID)11304225(PQKB)11216400(MiAaPQ)EBC1965101(DE-He213)978-3-319-06254-9(PPN)258868627(PPN)182092372(EXLCZ)99371000000026198320141013d2014 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrArt Meets Mathematics in the Fourth Dimension /by Stephen Leon Lipscomb2nd ed. 2014.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2014.1 online resource (191 p.)Description based upon print version of record.3-319-06253-0 Includes bibliographical references and index.1. 3-Sphere -- 2.

Inside S3 and Questions.- Appendix 4. Mathematics and Art.To see objects that live in the fourth dimension we humans would need to add a fourth dimension to our three-dimensional vision. An example of such an object that lives in the fourth dimension is a hyper-sphere or “3-sphere”. The quest to imagine the elusive 3-sphere has deep historical roots: medieval poet Dante Alighieri, in his circa 1300 AD Divine Comedy, used a 3-sphere to convey his allegorical vision of the Christian afterlife. In 1917, Albert Einstein visualized the universe, at each instant in time, as a 3-sphere. He described his representation as “…the place where the reader’s imagination boggles. Nobody can imagine this thing.” Over time, however, our understanding of the concept of dimension evolved. By 2003, a researcher had successfully rendered into human vision the structure of a 4-web (think of an every increasingly-dense spider’s web). In this text Stephen Lipscomb takes his innovative dimension theory research a step further, using the 4-web to reveal a new partial image of a 3-sphere. Illustrations support the reader’s understanding of the mathematics behind this process. Lipscomb describes a computer program that can produce partial images of a 3-sphere and suggests methods of discerning other fourth-dimensional objects that may serve as the basis for future artwork.  Reviews The author’s notion of fractal-based computer art is fascinating-a clear expression of our technological age. With the color plates in this book and the available DVD animation the reader will not only substantiate this, but will also gain an intuitive sense about the nature of fractals and about the structure and origin of the 4-web. A.D. Parks, Ph.D., Principal Scientist, Head of Quantum Physics Group, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Virginia Using numerous illustrations, the author discusses the idea of a fourth dimension. The new feature here is his use of an object that up until recently lived only in the fourth dimension. This book should become useful, educational, and widely-read. Gerald Edgar, Professor (Emeritus) of Mathematics, The Ohio State University  I have read many books, but only a couple has been as suggestive in terms of connections between mathematics, art, and physics as this book. It will be exceptionally well received. John E. Gray, Senior Member of IEEE, Lead physicist (over 130 publications)  An accessible yet rigorous treatment of recent mathematical research, this book is particularly valuable since its author developed these concepts originally.
