These accounts, sanctioned and supported by the ruling government, often gloss over the more controversial aspects of a king's or queen’s time on the throne. Instead, they present highly selective and positive readings of a monarch’s contribution to national identity and global affairs. In Clio and the Crown, Richard L. Kagan examines the official histories of Spanish monarchs from medieval times to the middle of the 18th century. He expertly guides readers through the different kinds of official histories commissioned: those whose primary focus was the monarch; those that centered on the Spanish kingdom as a whole; and those that celebrated Spain’s conquest of the New World. In doing so, Kagan also documents the life and work of individual court chroniclers, examines changes in the practice of official history, and highlights the political machinations that influenced the redaction of such histories. Just as world leaders today rely on fast-talking press officers to explain their sometimes questionable actions to the public, so too did the kings and queens of medieval and early modern Spain. Monarchs often went to great lengths to exert complete control over the official history of their reign, physically intimidating historians, destroying and seizing manuscripts and books, rewriting past histories, and restricting history writing to authorized persons. Still, the larger practice of history writing - as conducted by nonroyalist historians, various scholars and writers, and even church historians - provided a corrective to official histories. Kagan concludes that despite its blemishes, the writing of official histories contributed, however imperfectly, to the practice of historiography itself.SpainHistory711-1516HistoriographySpainHistory16th centuryHistoriographySpainHistory17th centuryHistoriographySpainHistory18th centuryHistoriography946.0072Kagan Richard L.1943-140802MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788801203321Clio & the crown3853008UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress03816nam 22005895 450 991030010530332120210708141946.03-319-77974-510.1007/978-3-319-77974-4(CKB)4100000003359568(DE-He213)978-3-319-77974-4(MiAaPQ)EBC5576433(EXLCZ)99410000000335956820180416d2018 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAn Excursion through Elementary Mathematics, Volume II Euclidean Geometry /by Antonio Caminha Muniz Neto1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2018.1 online resource (XI, 550 p. 411 illus.)Problem Books in Mathematics,0941-35023-319-77973-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.Chapter 01- Basic Geometric Concepts -- Chapter 02- Congruence of Triangles -- Chapter 03- Loci in the Plane -- Chapter 04- Proportionality and Similarity -- Chapter 05- Area of Plane Figures -- Chapter 06- The Cartesian Method -- Chapter 07- Trigonometry and Geometry -- Chapter 08- Vectors in the Plane -- Chapter 09- A First Glimpse on Projective Techniques -- Chapter 10- Basic Concepts in Solid Geometry -- Chapter 11- Some Simple Solids -- Chapter 12- Convex Polyhedra -- Chapter 13- Volume of Solids -- Chapter 14- Hints and Solutions.This book provides a comprehensive, in-depth overview of elementary mathematics as explored in Mathematical Olympiads around the world. It expands on topics usually encountered in high school and could even be used as preparation for a first-semester undergraduate course. This second volume covers Plane Geometry, Trigonometry, Space Geometry, Vectors in the Plane, Solids and much more. As part of a collection, the book differs from other publications in this field by not being a mere selection of questions or a set of tips and tricks that applies to specific problems. It starts from the most basic theoretical principles, without being either too general or too axiomatic. Examples and problems are discussed only if they are helpful as applications of the theory. Propositions are proved in detail and subsequently applied to Olympic problems or to other problems at the Olympic level. The book also explores some of the hardest problems presented at National and International Mathematics Olympiads, as well as many essential theorems related to the content. An extensive Appendix offering hints on or full solutions for all difficult problems rounds out the book.Problem Books in Mathematics,0941-3502Convex geometryDiscrete geometryPolytopesGeometry, ProjectiveConvex and Discrete Geometryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21014Polytopeshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21040Projective Geometryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21050Convex geometry.Discrete geometry.Polytopes.Geometry, Projective.Convex and Discrete Geometry.Polytopes.Projective Geometry.516.1Caminha Muniz Neto Antonioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut767139MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300105303321An Excursion through Elementary Mathematics, Volume II2238314UNINA
