Engaging with the Past c.250-c.650 Between c. 250 and c. 650 the way the past was seen recorded and interpreted for a contemporary audience changed fundamentally. Only since the 1970s have the key elements of this historiographical revolution become clear with the recasting of the period across both east and west as ‘late antiquity’. Historiography however has struggled to find its place in this new scholarly world. No longer is decline and fall the natural explanatory model for cultural and literary developments but continuity and transformation. In addition the emergence of ‘late antiquity’ coincided with a methodological challenge arising from the ‘linguistic turn’ which impacted on history writing in all eras. This book is focussed on the development of modern understanding of how the ways of seeing and recording the past changed in the course of adjusting to emerging social religious and cultural developments over the period from c. 250 to c. 650. Its overriding theme is how modern historiography has adapted over the past half century to engaging with the past between c. 250 and c. 650. Now as explained in this book the newly dominant historiographical genres (chronicles epitomes church histories) are seen as the preferred modes of telling the story of the past rather than being considered rudimentary and naïve. | Engaging with the Past c. 250-c. 650 GBP 120.00 1

C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice A Deep Learning Framework Using the implementation of a deep learning framework as an example C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice: A Deep Learning Framework explains the application of metaprogramming in a relatively large project and emphasizes ways to optimize systems performance. The book is suitable for developers with a basic knowledge of C++. Developers familiar with mainstream deep learning frameworks can also refer to this book to compare the differences between the deep learning framework implemented with metaprogramming and compile-time computing with deep learning frameworks using object-oriented methods. Consisting of eight chapters the book starts with two chapters discussing basic techniques of metaprogramming and compile-time computing. The rest of the book’s chapters focus on the practical application of metaprogramming in a deep learning framework. It examines rich types and systems expression templates and writing complex meta-functions as well as such topics as: Heterogeneous dictionaries and policy templates An introduction to deep learning Type system and basic data types Operations and expression templates Basic layers Composite and recurrent layers Evaluation and its optimization Metaprogramming can construct flexible and efficient code. For C++ developers who are familiar with object-oriented programming the main difficulty in learning and mastering C++ metaprogramming is establishing the thinking mode of functional programming. The meta-programming approach involved at compile time is functional which means that the intermediate results of the construction cannot be changed and the impact may be greater than expected. This book enables C++ programmers to develop a functional mindset and metaprogramming skills. The book also discusses the development cost and use cost of metaprogramming and provides workarounds for minimizing these costs. | C++ Template Metaprogramming in Practice A Deep Learning Framework GBP 99.99 1
Gendering Peace in Europe c. 1880–2000 This book examines the connection between notions of gender diplomacy society and peacemaking in the period c. 1880 to the mid- to late-twentieth century. The chapters in this volume place gender history at the interface with international history and international relations. They explore a wide variety of themes and issues within the British and European context especially notions of gender identity the politics and culture of women’s suffrage in the early part of the twentieth century and the role gender played in the formulation and execution of British foreign policy. The book also breaks new ground by attempting to gender diplomacy. Further it revisits the popular view that women were connected with the peace movements that grew up after the First World War because the notion of peace was associated with stereotypical female traits such as the rejection of violence and the nurturing rather than destruction of humankind. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Diplomacy and Statecraft. | Gendering Peace in Europe c. 1880–2000 GBP 130.00 1

Vikings of the Steppe Scandinavians Rus’ and the Turkic World (c. 750–1050) This book explores the relationship between Vikings Rus’ and nomadic (mostly Turkic) steppe dwellers during the course of the Viking Age (c. 750–1050) in a geographical area stretching from Eastern Scandinavia through the Kievan Rus’ Byzantium the Islamic world to the Western Eurasian steppes. The primary focus is the steppe influence on the development of Scandinavian-Rus’ culture. It illustrates the effects of Turkic (nomadic) cultures on the evolving Scandinavian-Rus’ communities in their military technology and tactics as well as in everyday customs ritual traditions and religious perceptions whilst paying attention to the politico-commercial necessities and possible communication channels tying these two cultures normally considered to be distinct together. The arguments are supported by a multi-disciplinary analysis of diverse historical and archaeological materials occasionally supplemented with linguistic evidence. The result is a comprehensive evaluation of the relations of the Scandinavians active in the ‘East’ with Turkic groups and brings (the so far neglected) steppes into Viking studies in general. The book will fill a serious scholarly gap in the field of Viking studies and will be read by both academics and students interested in the archaeological and historical sources concerned with the traditions of the ‘Eastern Vikings’. | Vikings of the Steppe Scandinavians Rus’ and the Turkic World (c. 750–1050) GBP 130.00 1
Weapons in Late Shang (c.1250-1050 BCE) China Beyond Typology and Ritual Weapons in Late Shang (c. 1250-1050 BCE) China: Beyond Typology and Ritual explores the large quantities of bronze and jade weapons such as dagger-axes spears and arrows found at the World Heritage site of Yinxu the late Shang capital located near today’s Anyang city in central China. Qin Cao’s innovative research presents new insights into these weapons moving beyond perceptions of them being primarily symbols of power and rank. Through the lens of weapons this book argues for the significance of martial prowess and leadership within late Shang society. The author considers Shang weapons from an object biographical perspective tracing their life histories for the first time. This book synthesises archaeological data scientific analyses and inscriptions on oracle bones and bronzes uncovering a more nuanced understanding of the complex roles weapons played in society. What traces of evidence can be detected on weapons that demonstrate their ability to cause bodily harm? Why were tens of thousands of weapons placed in tombs? What led to certain individuals including high-ranking royal females being buried with weapons? This book will be of interest to academics students (both undergraduates and postgraduates) and researchers in archaeology particularly those focused on China East Asia or comparative studies as well as a more general readership in Chinese archaeology. | Weapons in Late Shang (c. 1250-1050 BCE) China Beyond Typology and Ritual GBP 130.00 1
Archaeology of Religion in South Asia Buddhist Brahmanical and Jaina Religious Centres in Bihar and Bengal c. AD 600–1200 In the religious landscape of early medieval (c. AD 600-1200) Bihar and Bengal poly-religiosity was generally the norm than an exception which entailed the evolution of complex patterns of inter-religious equations. Buddhism Brahmanism and Jainism not only coexisted but also competed for social patronage forcing them to enter into complex interactions with social institutions and processes. Through an analysis of the published archaeological data this work explores some aspects of the social history of Buddhist Brahmanical and Jaina temples and shrines and Buddhist stūpas and monasteries in early medieval Bihar and Bengal. This archaeological history of religions questions many ‘established’ textual reconstructions and enriches our understanding of the complex issue of the decline of Buddhism in this area.

E. M. Forster’s Material Humanism Queer Matters Through attending to the nonhuman E. M. Forster’s Material Humanism: Queer Matters places Forster’s fiction in conversation with contemporary debates concerned with the intersection of neomaterialism environmental humanities and queer ecology. The book revisits Forster’s liberal humanism from a materialist perspective by focusing on humans’ embodied activities in artificial and natural environments. By examining the everyday embodied experiences of characters the book thus brings to the fore insignificant and sometimes overlooked aspects in Forster’s fiction. It also places importance on the texts’ treatment of queer intimacy as an embodied experience that can transcend sexual desire. The book acknowledges nonhuman agency as central to our understanding of queerness in Forster’s texts and studies the representation of formless matters such as dust as a way through which Forster’s ecological concerns arise by linking the fate of oppressed humans with oppressed nonhuman others. | E.

Remodelling to Prepare for Independence The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46 Remodelling to Prepare for Independence: The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46 illuminates the implications of the USA’s final phase of colonial rule in the Philippine Islands. It explores the Filipino side of decolonisation and the management of the built environment in the years immediately prior to self-rule. This book shakes off the collaboration vs. resistance paradigm that empire histories generally follow and consequently yields an original vantage point to comprehend transition within an Asian society in the years immediately prior to during and after World War Two. This will not only deepen insight of the American Empire but also grants the opportunity to tie Philippine political-cultural change to the global history of urban planning’s advancement. Accordingly it opens a new window to rethink Filipino ethno-history and societal evolution alongside the opportunity to compare the Philippines with other nations that undertook planning projects as part of their decolonisation process and early-postcolonial advancement. The book utilises theoretical frames in order to help creatively excavate the era 1935–46 for the purpose of not just revealing what public works occurred but to also uncover what those projects meant to the Commonwealth Government the BPW’s staff and the public who benefitted from public works projects. The book will be relevant to students and researchers of Urban History Asian and American (Empire) History and Imperial and Colonial Studies. Architects planners and members of the public who are interested in the form and meaning of urban environments designed/constructed in the past will also find the publication to be of great interest. | Remodelling to Prepare for Independence The Philippine Commonwealth Decolonisation Cities and Public Works c. 1935–46 GBP 130.00 1

A Dictionary of Biology A Dictionary of Biology is an up-to-date reference work explains several thousand specialized words that allow for empirical approaches to the biological sciences. It includes more than bare definitions including information about most of the things named so as to convey their significance in biological discussion. M. Abercrombie C. J. Hickman and M. L. Johnson in effect interpret this language as it is actually used emphasizing customary usage rather than etymology. This comprehensive lexicon includes two thousand entries. Many unfamiliar terms especially the rarer ones are defined with the help of other technical terms perhaps equally unfamiliar. This trick of dictionary-makers could only be avoided by giving a complete account of a large part of biology under each heading. Every biological technical term used in a definition is itself defined elsewhere in the dictionary; though some semi-technical terms words that can be found in any English dictionary are omitted. The authors use codes throughout the dictionary to help the reader to interpret the use of a word such as whether it is used in relation to plants and animals only whether the word is an adjective and when a term is defined elsewhere and adds information to the current definition. The result is an invaluable guide for the layman the student and the scholar alike. It presents clear and authoritative explanations of the terms and will remain useful as a quick and concise source of reference. GBP 130.00 1
