Encounters with Greek Art sheds new light on the invention of ancient identities by focusing on encounters between viewers and artworks swept to Italy on the tides of Roman imperialism between 146 BCE and 117 CE. Bringing globalization theory to bear on a wide range of texts and images, MacDonald traces the construction and contestation of a critical nexus of categories: Greek versus Roman, and high culture versus low. As the book moves from text to image, from monumental to domestic space, and from the imperial capital to the towns of Italy, readers will discover how Greekness and Romanness were imagined and reimagined as contingent but powerful devices for grappling with the flux of images, objects, and individuals around the globalized world of the Roman empire. This book is intended for scholars, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates interested in Greek and Latin literature, Roman visual culture, identity in antiquity, and histories of globalization.

Ivarluk loves listening to his anaanatsiaq's stories about long ago. Anaanatsiaq tells Ivarluk about how they celebrated the return of the sun when she was a child and shares stories about what they did during "the great darkness."

In this book, Carolyn A. MacDonald provides a comprehensive introduction to the physics of a wide range of x-ray applications, optics, and analysis tools. Theory is applied to practical considerations of optics and applications ranging from astronomy to medical imaging and materials analysis. Emphasizing common physical concepts that underpin diverse phenomena and applications of x-ray physics, the book opens with a look at nuclear medicine, motivating further investigations into scattering, detection, and noise statistics. The second section explores topics in x-ray generation, including characteristic emission, x-ray fluorescence analysis, bremsstrahlung emission, and synchrotron and laser sources. The third section details the main forms of interaction, including the physics of photoelectric absorption, coherent and Compton scattering, diffraction, and refractive, reflective, and diffractive optics. Applications in this section include x-ray spectroscopy, crystallography, and dose and contrast in radiography. A bibliography is included at the end of every chapter, and solutions to chapter problems are provided in the appendix. Based on a course for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in physics and related sciences and also intended for researchers, An Introduction to X-Ray Physics, Optics, and Applications offers a thorough survey of the physics of x-ray generation and of interaction with materials. * Common aspects of diverse phenomena emphasized* Theoretical development tied to practical applications * Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in physics or related sciences, as well as researchers* Examples and problems include applications drawn from medicine, astronomy, and materials analysis* Detailed solutions are provided for all examples and problems
