Modern Times. Literary Change seeks to redefine what we mean by “literature” and “history” in European modernism studies. This book develops a new functionalist approach for modern literary historiography and introduces alternative methods for dealing with European writings and their multiple mediatizations, histories and functions. Modern Times. Literary Change illustrates these new insights in chapters dealing with canonized figures (such as Robert Musil, André Breton, Man Ray and Denis de Rougemont) as well as internationally less known writers (such as Belgian avant-gardists Louis Scutenaire and Paul van Ostaijen and Italian novelist Enrico Emanuelli). For both its theoretical argument and its subtle readings this book will be of interest to all those who study European literature from the modernist period. MDRN is a research-group based at the University of Leuven (Belgium) and supervised by Jan Baetens, Sascha Bru, Dirk de Geest, David Martens and Bart Van den Bossche.

¡El Libro de Líneas de Tiempo de la Biblia y de la Historia del Cristianismo revela 6000 años de historia, desde Adán hasta nuestros días! Este cronograma desplegable de 20 pies (6 m) incluye cientos de datos históricos, personajes clave y fechas importantes de la Biblia y la historia del cristianismo, juntamente con sucesos destacados y protagonistas de la historia universal y del Oriente Medio. Esta publicación, que incluye docenas de ilustraciones coloridas y fotografías, puede leerse como un libro o desplegarse fuera de su encuadernación para exhibirse sobre una pared en un salón de clases o el hogar. Este panorama histórico organizado de una manera tan singular revela los eventos de la historia del cristianismo en forma paralela a los sucesos contemporáneos de la historia universal. Es fácil observar cómo la historia bíblica se relaciona con los sucesos que tuvieron lugar simultáneamente en todo el Oriente Medio y alrededor del mundo. Por ejemplo: ; Los primeros juegos olímpicos de la historia se celebraron en el tiempo del profeta Jonás (776 a.C.), ; El monte Vesubio entró en erupción y sepultó la ciudad de Pompeya durante el tiempo del apóstol Juan, ; El historiador griego Plutarco nació en 46 d.C., el mismo año en que a los seguidores de Cristo se los llamó por primera vez "cristianos" en Antioquía, ; Los hunos invadieron Europa en 360 d.C., el mismo año en que los libros reemplazaron a los rollos. Esta indispensable herramienta de estudio bíblico constituye un excelente agregado para la biblioteca de recursos de cualquier iglesia, escuela cristiana o sala de clases hogareña. The Book of Bible and Christian History Time Lines reveals 6000 years of history from Adam to today! This 20-foot foldout time line includes hundreds of historical facts, key people, and important dates from Bible and Christian history, alongside key events and people from world and Middle Eastern history. This resource can be read like a book or slipped out of its binding to display on a wall in a classroom or home and includes dozens of colorful illustrations and photographs. This uniquely arranged view of history shows Christian historical events unfolding next to their world history counterparts. It's easy to see how biblical history relates to events that were happening throughout the Middle East and around the world at the same time. For example:; Jonah lived during the time of the first recorded Olympic games (776 BC),; Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried Pompeii during the Apostle John's lifetime,; Plutarch the Greek historian was born AD 46, the same year that followers of Christ were first called "Christians" in Antioch, ; The Huns invaded Europe in 360, the same year that books replaced scrolls. This indispensable Bible study tool is a great addition for any church resource library, Christian school, or homeschool classroom.

Explanation of the basic concepts and methods of statistics requires a reasonably good mathematical background, at least at a first-year-level knowledge of calculus. Most of the statistical software explain how to conduct data analysis, but do not explain when to apply and when not to apply it. Keeping this in view, we try to explain the basic concepts of probability and statistics for students with an understanding of a first course in calculus at the undergraduate level.Designed as a textbook for undergraduate and first-year graduate students in statistics, bio-statistics, social sciences and business administration programs as well as undergraduates in engineering sciences and computer science programs, it provides a clear exposition of the theory of probability along with applications in statistics. The book contains a large number of solved examples and chapter-end exercises designed to reinforce the probability theory and emphasize statistical applications.

The ongoing crisis in Sudan is characteristic of the many challenges of nation-building on the African continent. Yet it has unique dynamics. The legacy of exploitative colonial rule, racialised marginalisation of the majority of its people, ethnic and religious divisions, and a state with a high capacity for repression but little propensity for extending protection and consensual rule to the majority of its population, has resulted in extended conflict. Current attempts to end half a century of war, instability and state repression have led to a fragile peace. Sustaining this peace will demand all the efforts of national, regional and international actors. This title is an attempt to trace the origins of the problems, the ongoing conflicts and the huge challenges confronting the efforts to bring peace and reconciliation to Sudan.

This volume is the final report on the 1965-1979 excavations by Ghent University and the Royal Museums of Art and History, Brussels, in sub-region I, the most western part of Pusht-i Kuh in Luristan (W-Iran), which is the closest to Mesopotamia. The volume is divided into two parts. The first part discusses tombs at nine sites from the Early Bronze Age I to III period (early and middle third millennium B.C.). Most of these were collective tombs; some of them were even re-used in later periods. Two Sasanian interments with exceptional burial goods are also documented. The second part of the book deals with tombs from the late third and the early second millennium (Early Bronze Age IV), or the so called 'Gutian'-tombs. These small individual tombs were documented at six sites. Usually they have three walls only, but occasional reuse of earlier tombs was attested as well. Burial goods include plain and painted pottery, metal weapons and utensils, seals and personal ornaments, some of it of Mesopotamian origin or at least related to it. All the finds are illustrated in line drawings, with the tombs and most objects also in photographs. Metal analyses of objects were performed and the results are included in the volume.

(In)site Sagalassos is het eerste fotoboek dat verschijnt over de archeologische site van Sagalassos. Al 18 jaar onderzoekt een interdisciplinair-archeologisch team van de KULeuven onder leiding van Prof. Marc Waelkens de antieke stad in zuidwest Turkije. Sinds 2003 fotgraferen Bruno Vandermeulen en Danny Veys de vondsten en structuren van de stad. Als fotografen bekijken zij de site met andere ogen dan de archeoloog. Dit boek is een fotografische impressie van de opgraving met haar monumenten en wijken. Zij toont de stad op een andere, verrassende manier. Door de combinatie van grote en kleine foto's, details en overzichten, architectuur en landschap wordt dit boek tot een boeiend geheel verweven. Het fotoboek wordt ingeleid door Marc Waelkens en bevat een historisch overzicht van de opgraving en de site. Meer informatie is beschikbaar op de website www.arts.kuleuven.be/fotolab/insite
