It is argued in the book that several of the most famous Greek mathematicians appear to have been familiar with various aspects of Babylonian "metric algebra," a convenient name for an elaborate combination of geometry, metrology, and quadratic equations that is known from both Babylonian and pre-Babylonian mathematical clay tabMathematics, GreekMathematics, BabylonianMathematics, Greek.Mathematics, Babylonian.510.938Friberg Jöran756005MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784042703321Amazing traces of a Babylonian origin in Greek mathematics3855049UNINA03547nam 2200673Ia 450 991097155930332120200520144314.09786611124434978128112443212811244359781906534110190653411X(CKB)1000000000790811(StDuBDS)AH20648757(SSID)ssj0000294223(PQKBManifestationID)11229175(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000294223(PQKBWorkID)10312143(PQKB)11674374(MiAaPQ)EBC3416270(Au-PeEL)EBL3416270(CaPaEBR)ebr10696118(CaONFJC)MIL112443(OCoLC)923509081(Perlego)2957431(EXLCZ)99100000000079081120070714d2007 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrDoing justice better the politics of restorative justice /David J.

Escalating resort to prisons, longer sentences, overcrowded and ineffective regimes, high rates of re-offending and eclectic penal policy all combine to fuel this crisis, whilst failing to reduce offending. In this new book, David J Cornwell, author of the acclaimed Criminal Punishment and Restorative Justice (ISBN 9781904380207), argues that the symptoms of this penal malaise are grounded in media sensationalism of crime and the need of politicians and their advisers to retain electoral credibility. Change is long overdue, but it requires a fresh, contemporary penology based on Restorative Justice. The book challenges the status quo, asks 'different questions' and places victims of crime at the centre of the criminal justice process.Criminal justice, Administration ofRestorative justiceCriminalsRehabilitationReparation (Criminal justice)Criminal justice, Administration of.Restorative justice.CriminalsRehabilitation.Reparation (Criminal justice)364.6/8Cornwell David J9201MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971559303321Doing justice better4363971UNINA
