For more than two generations Poul Jorgen Riis has played a leading role in Danish Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology. With Between Orient and Occident the Department of International Collections in the Danish National Museum celebrates the 90th birthday of P.J. Riis on the 26th of May, 2000. The book contains essays by some of Riiso' past and present colleagues, collaborators and students touching upon a wide range of subjects within Danish Classical and Near Eastern archaeological research: from Syria to Tunisia, from transport amphoras, and fine ware Arethusa cups to Islamic...

This publication celebrates the 150th anniversary of the Collection of Classical and Near Eastern Antiquities in the National Museum of Denmark. The Collection traces its roots back to the Royal Kunstkammer founded by King Frederik III around 1650 and to the private archaeological collection of King Christian VIII. On his death the two collections were joined and in 1853 a new one emerged, now named Cabinet of Antiquities and open to the public -- a collection which over the ensuing 150 years was constantly enlarged and enriched.
In eight articles (text in Danish and English), various...

The problem of developing a systematic approach to the design of feed back strategies capable of shaping the response of complicated dynamical control systems illustrates the integration of a wide variety of mathemat ical disciplines typical of the modern theory of systems and control. As a concrete example, one may consider the control of fluid flow across an airfoil, for which recent experiments indicate the possibility of delaying the onset of turbulence by controlling viscosity through thermal actuators located on the airfoil. In general, there are two approaches to the con trol of such a...

When the forces of progress threaten the foundation of small town life-a small church-five senior citizens, a mysterious newcomer, and one young couple band together in an unlikely campaign to save it. The embattled meeting point of old and new is Route 66 Chapel, a building curiously linked to America's "Mother Road."

Route 66 Sweetheart tells the story of a young woman growing up in Rutherford, New Jersey, in the 1930s. Marion (Mid) Lacy, who traces her ancestry back to the early New World Settlement of Nantucket, worries that she is overshadowed by more brilliant siblings and friends. In an era restricted by economic hard times and haunted by the prospect of approaching world war, she learns that all are counted in the creation of history, even the "sweetheart" of a distant admirer who travels "the Mother Road."

Considers how ceramic vessels in Greece and the rest of the Eastern Mediterranean were made, used and stayed in use serving various secondary purposes, before finally being discarded. This title focuses on evidence from Roman Italy, which raises the question of the impact of similar cultural forces on pottery from other periods and places.
