This seemingly simple acquisition brought with it an enormous new territory as well as the country's first large population of nonnaturalized Americans-Native Americans, African Americans, and Francophone residents. What would become of those people dominated national affairs in the years that followed. This book chronicles that contentious period from 1803 to 1821, years during which people proposed numerous visions of the future for Louisiana and the United States. The Louisiana Purchase proved to be the crucible of American nationhood, Peter Kastor argues. The incorporation of Louisiana was among the most important tasks for a generation of federal policymakers. It also transformed the way people defined what it meant to be an American.Yale Western Americana series (Unnumbered)Louisiana PurchaseNationalismUnited StatesHistory19th centuryPolitical cultureUnited StatesHistory19th centuryNational characteristics, AmericanFrontier and pioneer lifeLouisianaUnited StatesTerritorial expansionUnited StatesPolitics and government1801-1815United StatesPolitics and government1815-1861LouisianaHistory1803-1865LouisianaRace relationsElectronic books.Louisiana Purchase.NationalismHistoryPolitical cultureHistoryNational characteristics, American.Frontier and pioneer life973.4/6Kastor Peter J923509MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451988403321The nation's crucible2470495UNINA03656nam 2200649 450 99646669320331620210209212107.01-280-62735-297866106273563-540-34157-910.1007/b11749356(CKB)1000000000282440(EBL)3036489(SSID)ssj0000253799(PQKBManifestationID)11217157(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000253799(PQKBWorkID)10206807(PQKB)10091119(DE-He213)978-3-540-34157-4(MiAaPQ)EBC3036489(MiAaPQ)EBC6350743(PPN)258845686(PPN)123134692(EXLCZ)99100000000028244020210209d2006 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrSupersymmetric mechanics - vol. 2 the attractor mechanism and space time singularities /Alessio Marrani, Sergio Ferrara, Stefano Bellucci1st ed. 2006.Berlin, Germany ;New York, United States :Springer,[2006]©20061 online resource (248 p.)Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;701"This is the first volume in a series of books on the general theme of Supersymmetric Mechanics, which are based on lectures and discussions held in 2005 and 2006 at the INFN-Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati"--Preface.3-540-34156-0 Includes bibliographical references and indexes.Black Holes and Supergravity -- Attractors and Entropy -- Attractor Mechanism in N = 2, d = 4 Maxwell—Einstein Supergravity -- Black Holes and Critical Points in Moduli Space -- Black Hole Thermodynamics and Geometry -- N > 2-extended Supergravity, U-duality and the Orbits of Exceptional Lie Groups -- Microscopic Description.

The first volume appears as Lect. Notes Physics, Vol. 698 "Supersymmetric Mechanics , Vol .1: Supersymmetry, Noncommutativity and Matrix Models" (2006) ISBN: 3-540-33313-4. The present extensive lecture supplies a pedagogical introduction, at the non-expert level, to the attractor mechanism in space-time singularities. In such a framework, supersymmetry seems to be related to dynamical systems with fixed points, describing the equilibrium state and the stability features of the thermodynamics of black holes. After a qualitative overview, explicit examples realizing the attractor mechanism are treated at some length; they include relevant cases of asymptotically flat, maximal and non-maximal, extended supergravities in 4 and 5 dimensions. A number of recent advances along various directions of research on the attractor mechanism are also given.Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;701SupersymmetrySupergravitySupersymmetry.Supergravity.530.1423Bellucci S(Stefano),1957-66150Ferrara S.Marrani AlessioMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996466693203316Supersymmetric mechanics - vol. 22531745UNISA
