American Learned Men and Women with Czechoslovak Roots
Apart from a few articles, no comprehensive study has been written about the learned men and women in America with Czechoslovak roots. That’s what this compendium is all about, with the focus on immigration from the period of mass migration and beyond, irrespective whether they were born in their European ancestral homes or whether they have descended from them. Czech and Slovak immigrants, including Bohemian Jews, have brought to the New World their talents, their ingenuity, their technical skills, their scientific knowhow, and their humanistic and spiritual upbringing, reflecting upon the richness of their culture and traditions, developed throughout centuries in their ancestral home.

The Shape of Data
This advanced machine learning book highlights many algorithms from a geometric perspective and introduces tools in network science, metric geometry, and topological data analysis through practical application. Whether you’re a mathematician, seasoned data scientist, or marketing professional, you’ll find The Shape of Data to be the perfect introduction to the critical interplay between the geometry of data structures and machine learning. This book’s extensive collection of case studies (drawn from medicine, education, sociology, linguistics, and more) and gentle explanations of the math behind dozens of algorithms provide a comprehensive yet accessible look at how geometry shapes the...
Afrika and Alemania
Afrika and Alemania explores the representation of Blackness in German-speaking literary, autobiographical, and cinematic texts across two centuries. By examining how different groups of women with access to German culture have depicted Africa, Africans, and the African diaspora, the book challenges the assumption that all women will tell the same story. Focusing on Black women, non-Black women of colour, and white women, it investigates how these diverse voices engage with and represent Blackness within a society shaped by racial hierarchies. Part I analyses how Black, German-speaking women actively reshape and redefine Blackness in response to stereotypes upheld by white German society. Pa...
Theatre Translation
Translation for the theatre is often considered to hold a marginal status between literary translation and adaptation for the stage. As a result, this book argues that studies of this complex activity tend to take either a textual or performative approach. After exploring the history of translation theory through these lenses, Massimiliano Morini proposes a more totalizing view of 'theatre translation' as the sum of operations required to transform one theatre act into another, and analyses three complex Western case histories in light of this all-encompassing definition. Combining theory with practice, Morini investigates how traditional ideas on translation – from Plautus and Cicero to t...
Shall We Sin?
The antinomian question, which asks about the potential repercussions of sin when one is justified through faith apart from works, appears with considerable regularity in the history of Lutheranism. This book seeks to elucidate how Lutherans have responded to this question since the time of Martin Luther by discussing how they answered those who would use Christian liberty as an excuse for sin. Beginning with Luther and continuing with Philipp Melanchthon, Philipp Jakob Spener, Søren Kierkegaard, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the theological contributions of these figures are evaluated on the basis of their strength, originality, and orthodoxy in responding to the antinomian question.
