Bringing to bear the analytical tools of archaeoastronomy, a set of techniques and methods that enable modern scholars to better understand the thought, religion and science of early civilizations, Giulio Magli provides in-depth analyses of the pyramid complexes at Giza, Abusir, Saqqara and Dahshur, as well as of the Early Dynastic necropolis at Abydos and the magnificent new Kingdom Theban temples. Using a variety of data retrieved from study of the sky and measurements of the buildings, he reconstructs the visual, symbolic and spiritual world of the ancient Egyptians and thereby establishes an intimate relationship among celestial cycles, topography and architecture. He also shows how they were deployed in the ideology of the pharaoh's power in the course of Egyptian history. 517 3 $aArchitecture, Astronomy & Sacred Landscape in Ancient Egypt 606 $aArchitecture, Egyptian 606 $aArchaeoastronomy$zEgypt 607 $aEgypt$xReligion 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$y332-30 B.C 607 $aEgypt$xAntiquities 615 0$aArchitecture, Egyptian. 615 0$aArchaeoastronomy 676 $a932/.01 700 $aMagli$b Giulio$f1964-$0478196 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452772603321 996 $aArchitecture, astronomy and sacred landscape in ancient Egypt$92474541 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03604nam 22006852 450 001 9910783136403321 005 20151005020623.0 010 $a1-316-09932-6 010 $a1-107-15043-4 010 $a9786613329264 010 $a0-511-21311-5 010 $a0-511-21134-1 010 $a1-283-32926-3 010 $a0-511-81710-X 010 $a0-511-21492-8 010 $a0-511-21671-8 010 $a0-511-56706-5 035 $a(CKB)1000000000014392 035 $a(EBL)266639 035 $a(OCoLC)123416125 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000277723 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11195180 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000277723 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10240973 035 $a(PQKB)10851106 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9780511817106 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC266639 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL266639 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10131594 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL332926 035 $a(OCoLC)144618405 035 $a(PPN)261287621 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000014392 100 $a20101021d2004|||| uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe Cauchy-Schwarz master class $ean introduction to the art of mathematical inequalities /$fJ.

With the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality as the initial guide, the reader is led through a sequence of fascinating problems whose solutions are presented as they might have been discovered - either by one of history's famous mathematicians or by the reader. The problems emphasize beauty and surprise, but along the way readers will find systematic coverage of the geometry of squares, convexity, the ladder of power means, majorization, Schur convexity, exponential sums, and the inequalities of Ho?lder, Hilbert, and Hardy. The text is accessible to anyone who knows calculus and who cares about solving problems. It is well suited to self-study, directed study, or as a supplement to courses in analysis, probability, and combinatorics. 410 0$aMAA problem books series. 606 $aInequalities (Mathematics) 615 0$aInequalities (Mathematics) 676 $a512.9/7 700 $aSteele$b J.

Witty, urbane, and always entertaining, Berger describes the music scene in New York and Boston since the 1930's, discussing the heady days when he was a member of a tight-knit circle of avant-garde young composers mentored by Aaron Copland as well as his participation in a group at Harvard University dedicated to Stravinsky. As Virgil Thomson's associate on the New York Herald Tribune and founding editor of the prestigious Perspectives of New Music, Berger became one of the preeminent observers and critics of American music. His reflections on the role of music in contemporary life, his journalism career, and how changes in academia influence the composition and teaching of music offer a unique perspective informed by Berger's abundant intelligence and experience. 606 $aMusic$zUnited States$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aMusic$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a780/.973 700 $aBerger$b Arthur$f1912-2003.$01043233 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449685403321 996 $aReflections of an American composer$92468078 997 $aUNINA
