In this pioneering musicological study the Danish emeritus professor Finn Egeland Hansen proposes that the classical-romantic main current of the 19th century in fact represents two sub-currents, the one focusing on the romantic aspects, the other focusing on the classical aspects of its musical style. His thesis is discussed with excerpts from the standard musicological literature plus writings by Saint-Saëns, and Finn Egeland Hansen exemplifies his argument in readings of the music by three stylistically different composers – the French Camille Saint-Saëns and Charles Gounod and the Danish Niels W. Gade. Finn Egeland Hansen labels these harbingers’ style as retro-classicism.

"Tatiana Chemi's book is consistent in its argumentation and comprehensive in regards to the subject it deals with. It results in an original contribution, as it brings together the different aspects of the "comic experience" Samuel Beckett had, discussing them at the different stages of his literary, dramatic, and cinematographic production." -- Giancario Alfano, Associate Professor in Literature, Second University of Napoli, Italy

In 1864, a large metal hoard of copper, bronze and silver objects was discovered at Pile in the southern Swedish region of Scania. The chapters unfold as a 'history from beneath' beginning with place, things and time and concluding with metals and the worlds that intersected in Pile at the threshold of the long Bronze Age.

Buildings, bridges and tunnels are continuously exposed to forces of nature such as wind, waves, earthquakes and even traffic. Because these forces are hard to predict and model, it is also hard to predict how these structures respond. Stochastic Dynamics introduces a way of modeling forces and responses using stochastic systems, providing a method of statistical analysis where precise predictions are impossible. Including topics such as stochastic processes, stochastic vibration theory of linear structures, reliability theory of dynamicstructures and Monte Carlo techniques, this book explains stochastic structural dynamics and how to apply it to modern structures.

Even in well-established democratic societies, the political system currently faces a crisis of civic engagement and participation.
