"David Walker's Appeal" is a landmark work of American history and letters, the most radical piece of writing by an African American in the nineteenth century. Startling in its intensity, unrelenting in its attacks on slavery and white racism, it alarmed Southern slaveholders, inspired Northern abolitionists, and hastened the sectional conflicts that led to the Civil War. In this new edition of the "Appeal," the distinguished historian Sean Wilentz draws on a generation of innovative research to throw fresh light on Walker's life and ideas--and their enduring importance.

Introducing engineering students to numerical analysis and computing, this book covers a range of topics suitable for the first three years of a four year undergraduate engineering degree. The teaching of computing to engineers is hampered by the lack of suitable problems for the students to tackle, so much effort has gone into making the problems in this book realistic and relevant, while at the same time solvable for undergraduates.
Taking a balanced approach to teaching computing and computer methods at the same time, this book satisfies the need to be able to use...

Before then a wide range of terms were used: 'melancholy' carried enormous weight, and was one of the two confirmed forms of eighteenth-century insanity.

This book provides an introduction to the history of medieval Wales, with particular emphasis on political developments.
