Taylor & Francis Ltd The Abbasid House of Wisdom
Book SynopsisThis volume examines the library of the Abbasid caliphs, known as The House of Wisdom (Bayt al-Hikma), exploring how this important institution has been misconceived by scholars'.This book places the palace library within the framework of the multifaceted cultural and scientific activities in the era of the caliphs, Harun al-Rashid and al-Ma'mun, generally regarded as the Golden Age of Islamic civilization. The author studies the first references to the House of Wisdom in European sources and shows how misconceptions arose because of incorrect translations of Arabic manuscripts and also because of how scholars overlooked the historical context of the library in ways that reflected their own cultural and national ambitions. The Abbasid House of Wisdom is perfect for scholars, students, and the wider public interested in the scientific and cultural activities of the Islamic Golden Age.

Rowman & Littlefield Introduction to Information Visualization:
Book SynopsisIntroduction to Information Visualization: Transforming Data into Meaningful Information is for anyone interested in the art and science of communicating data to others. It shows readers how to transform data into something meaningful - information. Applying information visualization in research, service, teaching, and professional life requires a solid understanding of graphic design and the aesthetic along with hands-on skills and knowledge of data principles and software. This book is applicable to students in all domains, to researchers who need to understand how to create graphics that explain their data, and to professionals and administrators for professional development training. Website Designers and Human-Computer Interaction researchers will appreciate the backstory of designing interactive visualizations for the web. Drawing on the author’s years of practice and teaching, it bridges the two worlds in ways everyone can participate in the future of information and to appreciate the beautiful in information: oStep-by-step directions in the fundamentals of HTML5, CSS, and d3.js oDesign challenges with fully explained answers oWeb-site support for code samples (JavaScript, d3.js, python), live examples, and a place to build a community of other IV pros oUseful for teaching design to scientists; data to the humanities oGuidance for using the text depending on the class makeup oReview of third-party visualization software, big data trends, and script libraries oGuidance on how to continue in the IV world after graduation This full-color book features graphics and a companion Web site. The online companion site hosts living examples, updates, and errata. You’re invited to participate on the site, too, sharing your questions, solutions, and ideas. For most readings, there is a partner design lab. At the conclusion of the course, there is a complete interactive information visualization service documentation for libraries. Trade ReviewBenoît's book is breath of fresh air, providing an equal platform between fine art and science, closing a gap not found in other information visualization textbooks. Benoît’s expertise in the field brings out the aesthetic and artistic side of InfoViz without compromising the science side of data. The beauty lies in the real-life examples and on-hands, experiential approach to the field. -- Anastasia S. Varnalis-Weigle, Assistant Professor, Information and Library Science, University of Maine at AugustaBenoît successfully covers a range of intersecting topics in information visualization, from the technical to the aesthetic. He brings clarity to this complex space using a number of well-selected examples, and his interdisciplinary approach makes it accessible to a range of students and professionals. -- James E. Andrews, Director, School of Information, University of South FloridaThis book is an original voice from an expert in information visualization. By building on easy-to-learn skills, it combines basics of web development with knowledge of information visualization and gives simple tips to improve visual aesthetics through the design. Practical tools introduced in the book allow a hands-on experience. I highly recommend this book as a DIY for any one interested in the field. -- Banafsheh Asadi, School of Information Studies, McGill UniversityTable of ContentsPreface Acknowledgements 1.Introduction: why information visualization?

Medieval Institute Publications Matthew Parker and His Books: Sandars Lectures in
Book SynopsisThree lectures, initially presented before the University of Cambridge and now collected here, examine Matthew Parker as a noted collector of books, an avid annotator, and a keen student of Old English. In these lectures Dr. Page assesses the evidence for Parker's use of his manuscripts and printed books by drawing upon varied sources, including Parker's very numerous annotations upon their pages, and surveys the archbishop's role in the early-modern rediscovery and recovery of Old English and other medieval sources. Plates accompany the text to illustrate many characteristic aspects of Parker's interventions in his books.Table of ContentsIllustrations Foreword Acknowledgement A Mighty Collector of Books The Conservation of Ancient Records and Monuments The Chief Retriever of Our Ancient Native Language Appendix: Matthew Parker's Hand Bibliography
