J. Whittaker - Böcker

This book explores the ways in which Blake reacted to the subcultures of his day, as well as how he has inspired popular, modernist and postmodernist figures until the present day. Blake's influence on later generations of writers and artists is more important than ever, extending into film, psychology, children's literature and graphic novels.

This text is a full-length study of Blake's use of British mythology and history. From Atlantis to the Deists of the Napoleonic Wars, this book addresses why the 18th century saw a revival of interest in the legends of the British Isles and how Blake applied these in his prophetic histories of the giant Albion, revitalizing myths of the Druids and Joseph of Arimathea bringing Christ to Albion.

This volume testifies to a remarkable philosopher. In essays on ethics and the philosophy of religion, on literature and education, the contributors display not only the breadth of D.Z. Phillips's work but also its power. This power comes largely from Ludwig Wittgenstein, whose significance as a moral and religious philosopher rivals his reputation as a philosopher of language. Phillips, more than anyone else, has taught us to appreciate Wittgenstein in this sense and this book recognizes the importance of them both. Some of the essays which it contains speak directly to Phillips's work, some do not. But they all announce the fact that a "Wittgensteinian" now "Phillipsian" approach has long since earned its place in the history of philosophy.

Blake has maintained an enduring popularity amongst a large and diverse audience as a poet, artist and engraver. There are probably more artists, writers, filmmakers and composers working under the influence of Blake than any other figure from the Romantic era. This volume traces his influence and afterlife across a range of major themes such as metropolitan Blake, Blake and nationalism and Blake and women.

The Wiley Paperback Series makes valuable content more accessible to a new generation of statisticians, mathematicians and scientists. Graphical models--a subset of log-linear models--reveal the interrelationships between multiple variables and features of the underlying conditional independence. This introduction to the use of graphical models in the description and modeling of multivariate systems covers conditional independence, several types of independence graphs, Gaussian models, issues in model selection, regression and decomposition. Many numerical examples and exercises with solutions are included.This book is aimed at students who require a course on applied multivariate statistics unified by the concept of conditional independence and researchers concerned with applying graphical modelling techniques.

Graphical models--a subset of log-linear models--reveal the interrelationships between multiple variables and features of the underlying conditional independence. Following the theorem-proof-remarks format, this introduction to the use of graphical models in the description and modeling of multivariate systems covers conditional independence, several types of independence graphs, Gaussian models, issues in model selection, regression and decomposition. Many numerical examples and exercises with solutions are included.
