Offering the first book-length study in English on Tsubouchi and Shakespeare, Gallimore offers an overview of the theory and practice of Tsubouchi's Shakespeare translation and argues for Tsubouchi's place as "the Japanese Shakespeare."
Shakespeare translation is one of the achievements of modern Japanese culture, and no one is more associated with that achievement than the writer and scholar Tsubouchi Shōyō (1859-1935). This book looks at how Tsubouchi received Shakespeare in the context of his native literature and his strategies for bridging the gaps between Shakespeare's rhetoric and his developing language. Offering a significant contribution to the field of global Shakespeare and literary translation, Gallimore explores dominant stylistic features of the early twentieth-century Shakespeare translations of Tsubouchi and analyses the translations within larger linguistic, historical, and cultural traditions in local Japanese, universal Chinese, and spiritual Western elements.

This book provides a lively and accessible introduction to the numerical solution of stochastic differential equations with the aim of making this subject available to the widest possible readership. It presents an outline of the underlying convergence and stability theory while avoiding technical details. Key ideas are illustrated with numerous computational examples and computer code is listed at the end of each chapter. The authors include 150 exercises, with solutions available online, and 40 programming tasks. Although introductory, the book covers a range of modern research topics, including Itô versus Stratonovich calculus, implicit methods, stability theory, nonconvergence on nonlinear problems, multilevel Monte Carlo, approximation of double stochastic integrals, and tau leaping for chemical and biochemical reaction networks. An Introduction to the Numerical Simulation of Stochastic Differential Equations is appropriate for undergraduates and postgraduates in mathematics, engineering, physics, chemistry, finance, and related disciplines, as well as researchers in these areas. The material assumes only a competence in algebra and calculus at the level reached by a typical first-year undergraduate mathematics class, and prerequisites are kept to a minimum. Some familiarity with basic concepts from numerical analysis and probability is also desirable but not necessary.
Discover the remarkable birth of modern medicine. and how not to die in the Renaissance
'An entertaining history of medicine. Skuse brings a deep familiarity with the contemporary sources and a dry wit.' Dan Jones, The Sunday Times
The cliched view medicine in the Renaissance world is dreadful: gore-splattered hacksaws, arsenic concoctions, the four humours and all those leeches.
Reality, however, proves somewhat different.
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, a medical revolution was afoot. Physicians' education was being formalised. Surgeons were documenting the intricacies of the human body with ever-greater skill. And, as European powers expanded into the New World, novel medicines and treatments were being discovered.
Alanna Skuse ventures into the bustling medical marketplace of Renaissance England - a world of travelling surgeons, prosthetics craftsmen, faith healers and snake oil merchants.
Discover domestic healers like Elizabeth Freke, a doyenne of folk remedies, always ready to dole out tonics and elixirs to her ailing neighbours.
Browse the shelves of the early modern apothecary with Nicholas Culpeper as he lays the groundwork for the modern pharmacy.
Meet the expert midwife Jane Sharp, successful author and pioneer of women's health.
Join the intrepid plague doctor George Thomson as he braves London's Great Plague.

This is the only book devoted exclusively to Hessenberg and tridiagonal matrices. Hessenberg matrices are involved in Krylov methods for solving linear systems or computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors, in the QR algorithm for computing eigenvalues, and in many other areas of scientific computing (for instance, control theory). Matrices that are both upper and lower Hessenberg are tridiagonal. Their entries are zero except for the main diagonal and the subdiagonal and updiagonal next to it. Hessenberg and Tridiagonal Matrices: Theory and Examples presents known and new results; describes the theoretical properties of the matrices, their determinants, LU factorizations, inverses, and eigenvalues; illustrates the theoretical properties with applications and examples as well as numerical experiments; and considers unitary Hessenberg matrices, inverse eigenvalue problems, and Toeplitz tridiagonal matrices.

Rich in oil, Venezuela should have been one of the wealthiest nations in Latin America, if not the world, yet in the 1980s its economy collapsed plunging many of its citizens into poverty. In 1992 elements of the armed forces of Venezuela twice attempted to overthrow the nation's government. These coup attempts saw the army, navy and air force fighting one another and the other security forces on the streets and in skies of Venezuela in what would ultimately prove, in 1992 at least, to be futile attempts at revolution. For Now and Forever! examines these 1992 coup attempts.
Like many South American countries, Venezuela has had something of a tumultuous history, the modern independent state being born in 1830 following a series of revolutions and wars against Spain and breaking away from Gran Columbia, with further civil wars and confrontation with European powers continuing into the early twentieth century. Politically, the country veered between various forms of democracy and dictatorship marred by occasional violence. A left-wing revolutionary guerilla movement in the 1960s failed to gain popular support and was ruthlessly suppressed.
Oil was discovered in Venezuela in the early twentieth century and for a while brought prosperity to the country. Following the Middle East war and crisis of 1973 oil prices soared and Venezuela borrowed heavily on this basis; when in the 1980s oil prices crashed, so did Venezuela's economy. Growing discontent led to the Caracazo riots in 1989 that were brutally put down by the security forces leaving hundreds of protesters dead.
Many junior officers in the military had long sought reform and revolution. Cultivated by future president Hugo Chávez and the MB
R-200 (Bolivarian Revolutionary Movement-200), the events of 1989 provided a spark to action that would lead to two attempts to conduct military coups in 1992 to overthrow President Carlos Andrés Pérez Rodríguez.
For Now and Forever! provides a detailed two-volume military history of the 1992 coup attempts. The first volume examines the history, organisation and equipment of Venezuela's armed forces, the political background and causes of discontent within the country, the 1989 Caracazo riots, and the early stages of the first coup attempt in February 1992. This volume is richly illustrated throughout with original photographs and includes specially commissioned artworks and maps.
What language did the Buddha speak? Scholars think it was Pāli, or something very close to it. This book argues that the medium in which the Buddha spoke is just as important as the message. It answers the question, "how does the sonic content of Pāli carry the Buddhas message, complement and enhance it?" Pāli is based on an oral, vernacular language of the people, full of natural idioms and colloquial expressions. It is the opposite of Sanskrit, the formal, abstract, liturgical language of Brahmanism. In its conversational directness, harmony and musicality, oral immediacy and visceral emotivity, Pāli speaks to the here and now, to the urgency of mans suffering and to the practicality of a philosophy which promises to end it. Anyone interested in Theravādin Buddhism, what the Buddha taught and the special nature of the language in which he taught will find this book engaging. Buddhist practitioners will find it especially beneficial for their meditation and recitation practice. Academics in any area of Buddhism and Historical Linguistics who do not know Pāli will find it a useful introduction to the language and its evolution, while Pāli scholars will find here a unique perspective on the special role the language played in the communication of the Buddhas teachings.
