Through the careful examination of a wide range of extant sources including theological manuals, legal treatises, letters, and literary and autobiographical texts, the authors illustrate how individuals in England and the Hispanic world during the period of the Renaissance sought to reconcile their private and public selves, and thus establish and protect their identity. Individual essays demonstrate the significance, diversity, and fluidity of notions of conscience in the early modern world. These thought-provoking case studies also reveal how authority figures and commoners from two distinct cultural spheres struggled with similar issues and did so with explicit reference to shared scholastic and humanist traditions - often with similar outcomes. The Renaissance Conscience sheds important new light on the ways in which medieval and Renaissance discourses on conscience impacted upon early modern life and anticipated contemporary notions of moral autonomy"--Provided by publisher.Renaissance Studies Special IssuesConscienceEnglandHistoryConscienceSpainHistoryConscienceLatin AmericaHistoryRenaissanceEnglandRenaissanceSpainRenaissanceLatin AmericaCivilization, ModernMoral and ethical aspectsConscienceHistory.ConscienceHistory.ConscienceHistory.RenaissanceRenaissanceRenaissanceCivilization, ModernMoral and ethical aspects.171.609024HIS054000bisacshBraun Harald(Harald Ernst)245450Vallance Edward1975-1278054MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830987103321The Renaissance conscience4054743UNINA03664nam 2200577Ia 450 991100681410332120200520144314.00-7844-7244-0(CKB)2670000000081099(EBL)3115435(SSID)ssj0000484539(PQKBManifestationID)12186010(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000484539(PQKBWorkID)10594942(PQKB)11079751(OCoLC)708569176(MiAaPQ)EBC3115435(ASCE)10.1061/9780784409893(EXLCZ)99267000000008109920080502d2008 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrFrozen in time permafrost and engineering problems /by Siemon Wm. Muller ; edited by Hugh M. French, Frederick E. Nelson ; sponsored by Technical Committee on Cold Regions EngineeringReston, Va. American Society of Civil Engineersc20081 online resource (321 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-7844-0989-7 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction; Permafrost Science; Permafrost and Engineering Problems; References; Select Bibliography; A Glossary of Permafrost Terms; Key to Glossary Sources; IndexFrozen in Time offers an advanced and unusually comprehensive treatment of permafrost science and associated engineering problems. The book is a previously unpublished work by Siemon W. Muller (1900-1970), author of the first English-language book about perennially frozen ground. Muller stopped working on the nearly completed manuscript in the early 1960s and, for reasons unknown, set it aside about the time of the First International Conference on Permafrost in 1963. The manuscript remained frozen for several decades, until eventually it was discovered in his files. Editors French and Nelson guided the manuscript through the last phase of revision, provided context through an interpretive introduction, and ushered it through publication. A comprehensive revision and update of the 1947 edition of Muller's classic, this book reads like a how-to manual for engineering personnel working in pioneering or primitive circumstances. Like its predecessor, the book reviews the large Russian-language body of literature devoted to permafrost, but also covers work published in English. Topics include: basic scientific knowledge about perennially frozen ground and the engineering problems associated with it, the geography of permafrost, related elements of landscape science and ecology, periglacial geomorphology, and the physics of frozen ground. This book serves as a valuable historical document and is useful to anyone seeking basic knowledge about permafrost and appropriate methods for coping with associated engineering problems.BuildingCold weather conditionsCivil engineeringCold weather conditionsFrozen groundBuildingCold weather conditions.Civil engineeringCold weather conditions.Frozen ground.620/.411Muller Siemon W(Siemon William),1900-1970.1822743French Hugh M1822744Nelson Frederick E1822745American Society of Civil Engineers.Technical Committee on Cold Regions Engineering.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911006814103321Frozen in time4389100UNINA
