This story of the links between minerals, topography, and the war in western Virginia now comes to light in a way that enhances our understanding of America?s greatest trial. Five mineral products ? niter, lead, salt, iron, and coal ? were absolutely essential to wage war in the 1860s. For the armies of the South, those resources were concentrated in the remote Appalachian highlands of southwestern Virginia. From the beginning of the war, the Union knew that the key to victory was the destruction or occupation of the mines, furnaces, and forges located there, as well as the railroad that moved the resources to where they were desperately needed. To achieve this, Federal forces repeatedly advanced into the treacherous mountainous terrain to fight some of the most savage battles of the War. 606 $aEarth 606 $aGeology 606 $aMines and mineral resources 606 $aHistorical geology 606 $aHistory 606 $aCulture?Study and teaching 606 $aPopular Earth Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q22000 606 $aMineral Resources$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G38010 606 $aHistorical Geology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17020 606 $aHistory, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/700000 606 $aRegional and Cultural Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411000 615 0$aEarth. 615 0$aGeology. 615 0$aMines and mineral resources. 615 0$aHistorical geology. 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aCulture?Study and teaching. 615 14$aPopular Earth Science. 615 24$aMineral Resources. 615 24$aHistorical Geology. 615 24$aHistory, general. 615 24$aRegional and Cultural Studies. 676 $a553.09755 700 $aWhisonant$b Robert C$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058266 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299445603321 996 $aArming the Confederacy$92498457 997 $aUNINA LEADER 07857nam 22008775 450 001 9910299990103321 005 20200703193214.0 010 $a3-319-04807-4 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-04807-9 035 $a(CKB)3710000000202668 035 $a(EBL)1782188 035 $a(OCoLC)889312955 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001295838 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11777915 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001295838 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11343743 035 $a(PQKB)11586215 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1782188 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-04807-9 035 $a(PPN)179924494 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000202668 100 $a20140717d2014 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAnalytic and Probabilistic Approaches to Dynamics in Negative Curvature /$fedited by Françoise Dal'Bo, Marc Peigné, Andrea Sambusetti 205 $a1st ed. 2014. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2014. 215 $a1 online resource (148 p.) 225 1 $aSpringer INdAM Series,$x2281-518X ;$v9 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a3-319-04806-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index. 327 $a""Preface"";

Hopf and G.A. Hedlund, in the 1930s, on transitivity and ergodicity of the geodesic flow for hyperbolic surfaces, marked the beginning of the investigation of the statistical properties and stochastic behavior of the flow. The first central limit theorem for the geodesic flow was proved in the 1960s by Y. Sinai for compact hyperbolic manifolds. Since then, strong relationships have been found between the fields of ergodic theory, analysis, and geometry. Different approaches and new tools have been developed to study the geodesic flow, including measure theory, thermodynamic formalism, transfer operators, Laplace operators, and Brownian motion. All these different points of view have led to a deep understanding of more general dynamical systems, in particular the so-called Anosov systems, with applications to geometric problems such as counting, equirepartition, mixing, and recurrence properties of the orbits. This book comprises two independent texts that provide a self-contained introduction to two different approaches to the investigation of hyperbolic dynamics. The first text, by S. Le Borgne, explains the method of martingales for the central limit theorem. This approach can be used in several situations, even for weakly hyperbolic flows, and the author presents a good number of examples and applications to equirepartition and mixing. The second text, by F. Faure and M. Tsujii, concerns the semiclassical approach, by operator theory: chaotic dynamics is described through the spectrum of the associated transfer operator, with applications to the asymptotic counting of periodic orbits. The book will be of interest for a broad audience, from PhD and Post-Doc students to experts working on geometry and dynamics. 410 0$aSpringer INdAM Series,$x2281-518X ;$v9 606 $aDynamics 606 $aErgodic theory 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aOperator theory 606 $aGeometry, Hyperbolic 606 $aGeometry, Differential 606 $aDynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M1204X 606 $aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M27004 606 $aOperator Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12139 606 $aHyperbolic Geometry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21030 606 $aDifferential Geometry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21022 615 0$aDynamics. 615 0$aErgodic theory. 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 0$aOperator theory. 615 0$aGeometry, Hyperbolic. 615 0$aGeometry, Differential. 615 14$aDynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory. 615 24$aProbability Theory and Stochastic Processes. 615 24$aOperator Theory. 615 24$aHyperbolic Geometry. 615 24$aDifferential Geometry. 676 $a514.74 702 $aDal'Bo$b Françoise$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPeigné$b Marc$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSambusetti$b Andrea$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299990103321 996 $aAnalytic and probabilistic approaches to dynamics in negative curvature$91410243 997 $aUNINA
