This book proposes a very different model. Covering popular fiction, poetry and Greco-Jewish material, it argues for a rich, dynamic, and diverse culture, which cannot be reduced to a simple model of continuity. Shining new light on a series of playful, imaginative texts that are left out of the traditional accounts of Greek literature, Whitmarsh models a more adventurous, exploratory approach to later Greek culture. Beyond the Second Sophistic offers not only a new way of looking at Greek literature from 300 BCE onwards, but also a challenge to the Eurocentric, aristocratic constructions placed on the Greek heritage. Accessible and lively, it will appeal to students and scholars of Greek literature and culture, Hellenistic Judaism, world literature, and cultural theory. 606 $aGreek literature$zRome$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGreek literature$xHistory and criticism 610 $aancient literature. 610 $aaristocratic constructions. 610 $aclassics. 610 $adifferent model. 610 $adiverse culture. 610 $aengaging. 610 $aexploratory approach. 610 $agreco-jewish material. 610 $agreek culture. 610 $agreek heritage. 610 $agreek literature. 610 $agreek oratory. 610 $agreek rhetoric. 610 $ahellenic civilization. 610 $ahellenistic judaism. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aliterary. 610 $aroman empire. 610 $arome. 610 $asecond sophistic. 615 0$aGreek literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGreek literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a880.9/001 700 $aWhitmarsh$b Tim$0479134 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787582603321 996 $aBeyond the Second Sophistic$9260936 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05019nam 22009015 450 001 9910299837203321 005 20250609112120.0 010 $a3-319-10735-6 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-10735-6 035 $a(CKB)3710000000394662 035 $a(EBL)2094074 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001501185 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11830214 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001501185 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11522534 035 $a(PQKB)10605719 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-10735-6 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2094074 035 $a(PPN)18548395X 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3109265 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000394662 100 $a20150406d2015 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aDynamic Systems for Everyone $eUnderstanding How Our World Works /$fby Asish Ghosh 205 $a1st ed. 2015. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2015. 215 $a1 online resource (252 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a3-319-10734-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aThinking in Systems -- The Engineered Systems -- Political, Social, and Biological Systems -- The Fundamental Behavior Patterns -- Modeling and Simulation -- Optimization -- Distributed Intelligence -- Discrete Events and Procedures -- Unintended Consequences -- The Seven Habits of a Systems Savvy Person -- Epilogue: Future Directions and Challenges. 330 $aThis book is a study of the interactions between different types of systems, their environment, and their subsystems. The author explains how basic systems principles are applied in engineered (mechanical, electromechanical, etc.) systems and then guides the reader to understand how the same principles can be applied to social, political, economic systems, as well as in everyday life. Readers from a variety of disciplines will benefit from the understanding of system behaviors and will be able to apply those principles in various contexts. The book includes many examples covering various types of systems. The treatment of the subject is non-mathematical, and the book considers some of the latest concepts in the systems discipline, such as agent-based systems, optimization, and discrete events and procedures. · Shows how system knowledge may be applied in many different areas without the need for deep mathematical knowledge; · Demonstrates how to model and simulate system behaviors on personal computers with readily available software packages; · Considers the various ways of optimizing system behavior; · Discusses the benefits of systems with highly distributed intelligence and the ways in which they may be modeled; · Considers how to incorporate discrete events and sequential steps in system dynamics; · Discusses the difference between holistic and reductionist world view. . 606 $aEngineering?Vocational guidance 606 $aVibration 606 $aDynamics 606 $aDynamics 606 $aComputers and civilization 606 $aOperations research 606 $aDecision making 606 $aSociophysics 606 $aEconophysics 606 $aComputational complexity 606 $aJob Careers in Science and Engineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T13009 606 $aVibration, Dynamical Systems, Control$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T15036 606 $aComputers and Society$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I24040 606 $aOperations Research/Decision Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/521000 606 $aData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33030 606 $aComplexity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11022 615 0$aEngineering?Vocational guidance. 615 0$aVibration. 615 0$aDynamics. 615 0$aDynamics. 615 0$aComputers and civilization. 615 0$aOperations research. 615 0$aDecision making. 615 0$aSociophysics. 615 0$aEconophysics. 615 0$aComputational complexity. 615 14$aJob Careers in Science and Engineering. 615 24$aVibration, Dynamical Systems, Control. 615 24$aComputers and Society. 615 24$aOperations Research/Decision Theory. 615 24$aData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building. 615 24$aComplexity. 676 $a004 676 $a502.3 676 $a620 676 $a621 676 $a658.40301 700 $aGhosh$b Asish$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062002 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299837203321 996 $aDynamic Systems for Everyone$92521961 997 $aUNINA
