This book provides a new analysis of why relations between the United States and the Chinese Communists were so hostile in the first decade of the Cold War. Employing extensive documentation, it offers a fresh approach to long-debated questions such as why Truman refused to recognize the Chinese Communists, why the United States aided Chiang Kai-shek’s KMT on Taiwan, why the Korean War escalated into a Sino-American conflict, and why Mao shelled islands in the Taiwan Straits in 1958, thus sparking a major crisis with the United States. Christensen first develops a novel two-level approa

This is the first intellectual biography of the French composer and theorist Jean-Philippe Rameau. Rameau synthesised the vocabulary and grammar of musical practice into a concise scientific system, earning himself the popular title of ’Newton of the Arts’. Ranging widely over the musical and intellectual thought of the eighteenth century, Thomas Christensen is able to orient Rameau’s accomplishments in the light of speculative and practical considerations of music theory as well as many of the scientific ideas current in the French Enlightenment. He shows how Rameau incorpor

After the Golden Age - which is usually dated back to early Abbasid period - things began to change in the Middle East. Population decreased, ancient cities declined or were even deserted, and barbaric nomadism spread at the expense of civilised agriculture. In a parallel process intellectual creativity was stifled and artistic originality dried up. Thus even before the capitalist world economy made its influence felt, the once dynamic civilisations of the Middle East were turning into stagnate proto-developing countries: impoverished, disease-ridden and technologically backward. The present s

The theory for frames and bases has developed rapidly in recent years because of its role as a mathematical tool in signal and image processing. In this self-contained work, frames and Riesz bases are presented from a functional analytic point of view, emphasizing their mathematical properties. This is the first comprehensive book to focus on the general properties and interplay of frames and Riesz bases, and thus fills a gap in the literature. Key features: * Basic results presented in an accessible way for both pure and applied mathematicians * Extensive exercises make the work sui

"Carefully produced and easy to use ... a welcome addition to the literature."--C. Truesdell, American Scientist Integration of numerous theoretical developments offers a complete, consistent description of the linear theory of the viscoelastic behavior of materials. Relevant theoretical formulations are derived from a continuum mechanics viewpoint, followed by discussions of problem-solving techniques. 1982 edition. 29 figures.
