Konrad Meisig, "Buddhistisch-Chinesisches Glossar / A Buddhist Chinese Glossary (East Asia Intercultural Studies / Interkulturelle Ostasienstudien)"
English, Deutsch, Chinese | 2012 | ISBN: 3447066687 | PDF | pages: 259 | 3.5 mb
Buddhist Chinese holds a middle position between Classical Chinese (fifth to third century BC) and the Middle Chinese idiom of the third to sixth century AD, the latter being based on the contemporaneous colloquial language. Buddhist Chinese, however, is not a pure and genuine Chinese idiom; rather, it is a translation language. With regard to its vocabulary, word formation and word order, Buddhist Chinese often seeks to imitate its Indian source texts. Thus, Buddhist Chinese can be described as a contact language between the Indo-European and the Sino-Tibetan language families. The Buddhist Chinese Glossary (BCG) by Konrad and Marion Meisig provides 1) a diachronic perspective of Buddhist Chinese texts, giving exact place references including text quotations in an historical array; it thus permits 2) verifiability; and it makes the lexicographic material available by 3) digital technique. In its present state, the BCG is not yet a dictionary, but a glossary, containing about 4,000 lemmata, prepared from a representative selection of texts focusing on early Hinayana sutras and legends. The BCG is preparatory to a future, more comprehensive dictionary.

Bond Men Made Free: Medieval Peasant Movements and the English Rising of 1381, 2nd Edition by Rodney Hilton

Rodney Hilton's account of the Peasant's Revolt of 1381 remains the classic authoritative text on the 'English Rising'.

Decades after the first multicultural reforms were introduced in Latin America, Afrodescendant people from the region are still disproportionately impoverished, underserved, policed, and incarcerated. In Nicaragua, Afrodescendants have mobilized to confront this state of siege through the politics of black autonomy. For women and men grappling with postwar violence, black autonomy has its own cultural meanings as a political aspiration and a way of crafting selfhood and solidarity.

English | PDF | 2014 | 970 Pages | ISBN : 1447168046 | 27.7 MB
The practice of modern medicine and biomedical research requires sophisticated information technologies with which to manage patient information, plan diagnostic procedures, interpret laboratory results, and carry out investigations. Biomedical Informatics provides both a conceptual framework and a practical inspiration for this swiftly emerging scientific discipline at the intersection of computer science, decision science, information science, cognitive science, and biomedicine. Now revised and in its third edition, this text meets the growing demand by practitioners, researchers, and students for a comprehensive introduction to key topics in the field. Authored by leaders in medical informatics and extensively tested in their courses, the chapters in this volume constitute an effective textbook for students of medical informatics and its areas of application.

BioWare's Mass Effect
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031188756 | 99 Pages | PDF (True) | 2 MB
The videogame series Mass Effect is a remarkable rarity not only for being an original science-fictional franchise of recent vintage that has risen to such prominent commercial and critical success in popular culture but also for pushing the canonical boundaries of how science fiction as a genre will be experienced and understood in the future. This book analyzes the significance of the game for an understanding of the evolving SF genre and articulates an explanatory framework to limn its landmark reception in videogame history. This book both synthesizes the burgeoning body of scholarship on Mass Effect for a readership unfamiliar with either the game or the critical conversation on its salient importance, while simultaneously, for readers already invested in the science-fiction and videogame scholarship, mounting an extended inquiry as to why Mass Effect has served as such a representative milestone in videogame and genre history. The book should appeal to veteran science-fiction and videogame scholars and students as well as a wide variety of fans, consumers, gamers, and general readers.
