The Terracotta Army is one of the greatest, and most famous, archaeological discoveries of all time. 6,000 life size figures of warriors and horses were interred in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of China, each is individually carved, and they are thought to represent real members of the emperor's army. This is the remarkable story of their creation, the man who ordered them made, their rediscovery and their continuing legacy as a pre eminent symbol of Chinese greatness. The First Emperor Qin Shi Huang, was king of the Chinese state of Qin and the first man to unite China into a single empire. He built the first Great Wall and brought a single written script to the whole country. He was an inspired and ruthless ruler, but one also beset by paranoia and a desire for immortality. He is still considered the founding father of the modern state of China. On his death in 210 BC he was buried in a giant mausoleum near modern day Xi'an. Legends of the treasures contained therein still tantalize the imagination today. In 1974 local farmers digging a well for water broke through into the burial mound and found the first of the Terracotta warriors. Further excavations have revealed the full splendour of the buried army. But the majority of the mausoleum is yet to be opened, including the burial chamber itself, myth tells us that amongst the treasures yet to be uncovered is a vast map of the First Emperor's kingdom with rivers marked with channels of flowing mercury. The story of the First Emperor and the Terracotta Army is a fascinating one, not least for the discoveries yet to be made. Quite a scarce book.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Welcome to the Second International Conference on Mobile Data Management (MDM2001). The conference serves as a forum for the exchange of technical ideas and research results in the areas of mobility and database management. This year, we have a very exciting program for MDM2001. Many quality papers were submitted to the conference. All of the submitted papers were - viewed by at least three PC members. Due to the limitations of the program schedule as well as the desire to organize the conference using a single track format, we selected only 18 papers for full presentation at the conference. As a result many excellent papers could not be accepted. The papers chosen for presentation span a large range of topics, from n- work protocol issues up to the semantics of mobile applications. The common theme of all these papers is their recognition of the central role played by data managementtechniques in the developmentof the emerging worldof mobile and wireless applications. We have loosely organized these papers into six areas: 1. DATA MANAGEMENT ARCHITECTURES, 2. CONTENT DELIVERY, 3. DATA BROADCASTING, 4. CACHING AND HOARDING, 5. COPING WITH MOVEMENT, 6. NETWORKS AND SYSTEMS ISSUES In addition to the researchtrack, we havesought to broaden the scope of the conference with an industrial session as well as poster presentations. Overall, the program strikes a comfortable balance between applied and theoretically oriented papers.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Hardcover, xii + 375 pages, NOT ex-library. Internally very good, clean, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps. Boards show regular shelfwear, short creases to corners, a few small scuff-marks. Issued without a dust jacket. -- An authoritative reference that delves deeply into the mechanisms and treatment of cough, a common and often debilitating symptom. This comprehensive book covers significant advances in the understanding of cough over the past decade. Key areas include the types of airway sensors, pharmacological receptors on their membranes, the brainstem organization of the 'cough centre,' and the involvement of the cerebral cortex in the sensations and voluntary control of cough. These studies primarily utilize experimental animal models to uncover the basic mechanisms, which are crucial for translating findings to human patients. The book highlights the sensitization of cough pathways both peripherally and centrally, which is particularly relevant to chronic cough sufferers and those exposed to pollutants. Clinical research advancements in the three main causes of clinical cough - asthma, post-nasal drip syndrome, and gastroesophageal reflux disease - are thoroughly discussed, alongside ongoing research into idiopathic chronic cough. Despite these advances in understanding the mechanisms of cough, the book notes that therapeutic progress has been slower. The editors emphasize the need for continued research to develop more effective treatments for chronic and persistent coughs. This volume is essential for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the complex mechanisms and therapeutic approaches related to cough. -- Contents: Cough: Setting the Scene; Cough Sensors. I. Physiological and Pharmacological Properties of the Afferent Nerves Regulating Cough; Cough Sensors. II. Transient Receptor Potential Membrane Receptors on Cough Sensors; Cough Sensors. III.
