This fully annotated edition enables the modern-day reader to understand and appreciate the many 'dimensions' of this classic satire. Mathematical notes and illustrations enhance the usefulness of Flatland as an elementary introduction to higher-dimensional geometry. Historical notes show connections to late-Victorian England and to classical Greece. Citations from Abbott's other writings as well as the works of Plato and Aristotle serve to interpret the text. Commentary on language and literary style includes numerous definitions of obscure words. An appendix gives a comprehensive account of the life and work of Flatland's remarkable author. 410 0$aSpectrum. 606 $aFourth dimension 615 0$aFourth dimension. 676 $a530.11 700 $aAbbott$b Edwin Abbott$f1838-1926,$0203729 702 $aLindgren$b William F. 702 $aBanchoff$b Thomas 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787550803321 996 $aFlatland$925231 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03394nam 2200733 a 450 001 9910967619103321 005 20230126203314.0 010 $a9781439906569 010 $a1439906564 010 $a9781439906576 010 $a1439906572 035 $a(CKB)2550000001114779 035 $a(EBL)712342 035 $a(OCoLC)739718930 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000535045 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11333940 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000535045 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10521923 035 $a(PQKB)10799989 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000777056 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12303938 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000777056 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10754707 035 $a(PQKB)23802820 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC712342 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse13415 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL712342 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10477350 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL514651 035 $a(Perlego)2040039 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000001114779 100 $a20101104d2011 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe city on the hill from below $ethe crisis of prophetic Black politics /$fStephen H.

Stephen Marshall, in The City on the Hill from Below, interrogates the political thought of David Walker, Frederick Douglass, W. E. B. DuBois, James Baldwin, and Toni Morrison to reveal a vital tradition of American political theorizing and engagement with an American political imaginary forged by the City on the Hill.Originally articulated to describe colonial settlement, state f 606 $aAfrican Americans$xPolitics and government 606 $aAfrican Americans$xPolitics and government$xPhilosophy 606 $aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xPolitics and government$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xSocial conditions. 676 $a323.1196/073 700 $aMarshall$b Stephen H$01811287 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967619103321 996 $aThe city on the hill from below$94363069 997 $aUNINA
