Uncle Tom's Cabin Or Life Among the Lowly
First published in 1859, and set in eighteenth-century Newport, Rhode Island, The Minister's Wooing is a historical novel and domestic comedy that satirizes Calvinism, celebrating its intellectual and moral integrity while critiquing its rigid theology. Mary Scudder lives with her widowed mother in a modest middle-class home. Dr. Hopkins, a Calvinist minister who boards with them, is dedicated to helping the slaves arriving at Newport and calls for the abolition of slavery. The pious Mary admires him but is also in love with the passionate but skeptical James Marvyn who, hungry for adventure, joins the crew of a ship setting sail for exotic destinations. When James is presumed lost at sea, Mary fears for his soul, and consents to marry the good Doctor. With important insights on slavery, history, and gender, as well as characters based on historical figures, The Minister's Wooing is, as Susan Harris notes in her Introduction, 'an historical novel, like Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter or Catharine Sedgwick's Hope Leslie or A New England Tale; it is an attempt through fiction to create a moral, intellectual, and affective history for New England.' - Category: Books Reading - New Item: 461122812

Dynamic Earth Environments Remote Sensing Observations from Shuttle-Mir Missions
The U.S./Russian collaboration that used the Space Shuttle and the Mir Space Station as platforms for acquiring remote sensing information about the Earth between 1996 and 1998 produced significant scientific results on hydrology, land use, and changes in some of the Earth's most dynamic environments. Many of these outstanding images are presented here and compared with photographs taken during earlier missions, allowing detection of changes on the Earth's surface. Studies reported in this fascinating volume include observations of El Niño-related phenomena; fluctuating water levels of the Caspian and Aral Seas; smoke, dust, and aerosols in the atmosphere; urban land use changes; and drought in the southeastern United States and Mexico. This valuable information, and the techniques used to gather it, will form the basis for future remote sensing studies to be conducted from the International Space Station. - Books Reading - New - 460843904

Product Graphs Structure and Recognition
A comprehensive introduction to the four standard products of graphs and related topics Addressing the growing usefulness of current methods for recognizing product graphs, this new work presents a much-needed, systematic treatment of the Cartesian, strong, direct, and lexicographic products of graphs as well as graphs isometrically embedded into them. Written by two leading experts in this rapidly evolving area of combinatorics, Product Graphs: Structure and Recognition compiles and consolidates a wealth of information previously scattered throughout the literature, providing researchers in the field with ready access to numerous recent results as well as several new recognition algorithms and proofs. The authors explain all topics from the ground up and make the requisite theory and data structures easily accessible for mathematicians and computer scientists alike. Coverage includes*The basic algebraic and combinatorial properties ofproduct graph *Hypercubes, median graphs, Hamming graphs, triangle-free graphs, and vertex-transitive graphs*Colorings, automorphisms, homorphisms, domination, and the capacity of products of graphs Sample applications, including novel applications to chemical graph theory Clear connections to other areas of graph theory Figures, exercises, and hundreds of references - Books Reading - New - 461514340
