Representaions of General Linear Groups (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series)

Representaions of General Linear Groups (London Mathematical Society Lecture Note Series)
G. D. James | 1984-08-31 00:00:00 | Cambridge University Press | 160 | Mathematics
The most important examples of finite groups are the group of permutations of a set of n objects, known as the symmetric group, and the group of non-singular n-by-n matrices over a finite field, which is called the general linear group. This book examines the representation theory of the general linear groups, and reveals that there is a close analogy with that of the symmetric groups. It consists of an essay which was joint winner of the Cambridge University Adams Prize 1981-2, and is intended to be accessible to mathematicians with no previous specialist knowledge of the topics involved. Many people have studied the representations of general linear groups over fields of the natural characteristic, but this volume explores new territory by considering the case where the characteristic of the ground field is not the natural one. Not only are the results in the book elegant and interesting in their own right, but they suggest many lines for further investigation.

Rejecting Rights (Contemporary Political Theory)

Rejecting Rights (Contemporary Political Theory)
Sonu Bedi | 2009-01-01 00:00:00 | Cambridge University Press | 1 | Law
The language of rights is ubiquitous. It shapes the way we construct our debates over issues such as abortion, affirmative action and sexual freedom. This provocative new study challenges the very concept of rights, arguing that they jeopardize our liberty and undermine democratic debate. By re-conceptualizing our ideas about limited government, it suggests that we can limit the reasons or rationales on which the polity may act. Whereas we once used the language of rights to thwart democratic majorities, Bedi argues that we should now turn our attention to the democratic state's reason for acting. This will permit greater democratic flexibility and discretion while ensuring genuine liberty. Deftly employing political theory and constitutional law to state its case, the study radically rethinks the relationship between liberty and democracy, and will be essential reading for scholars and students of political and legal philosophy.

Hitler: Study of a Revolutionary? (Routledge Sources in History)

Hitler: Study of a Revolutionary? (Routledge Sources in History)
Martyn Housden | 2000-06-26 00:00:00 | Routledge | 232 | Holocaust
Adolf Hitler is perceived to be the most evil political leader of twentieth century Europe. By presenting a critical selection of primary source material this book examines Hitler's background and involvement in the rise of National Socialism, the government of the Third Reich, leadership of the Second World War in Germany and his psychology, to discuss Hitler's credentials as a revolutionary.
Housden examines:
*the general characteristics of revolutions and revolutionaries
*Hitler as Agitator, Dictator, Deceiver and Warlord
*Hitler's architectural and artistic ambitions
*Hitler's mind and personality.
Hitler investigates what it was that motivated this national leader to achieve such monstrosities which still cast a shadow over Europe today.
