This book provides a comprehensive exposition of the use of set-theoretic methods in abelian group theory, module theory, and homological algebra, including applications to Whitehead's Problem, the structure of Ext and the existence of almost-free modules over non-perfect rings. This second edition is completely revised and udated to include major developments in the decade since the first edition. Among these are applications to cotorsion theories and covers, including a proof of the Flat Cover Conjecture, as well as the use of Shelah's pcf theory to constuct almost free groups. As with the first edition, the book is largely self-contained, and designed to be accessible to both graduate students and researchers in both algebra and logic. They will find there an introduction to powerful techniques which they may find useful in their own work.

Slender Notions
Author: Nicholas Antonopoulos
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
An unapologetic work of fiction that scintillates with wit and vigorous honesty scouring every page. Leo--an aspiring writer in his early-twenties living in suburban Massachusetts--is a discreet heroin addict unable to stomach the inanity of day to day life, living vicariously through the writings of Henry Miller and Jack Kerouac. Drug-laden trips to a local Zen Monastery and shoplifting excursions at the local bookstore occupy his idle time. After being invited to a poetry reading in Boston, he meets Cole--a recently divorced middle-aged man, on the verge of a mental breakdown--who, along with a streetwise homeless man named Zanzi, unveils a plan to cure the world from the so-called virtues of stoicism and austerity, and usher in a new era of unabashed happiness. Together, they come up with the #laughterchallenge: a viral video challenge which encourages groups of friends to record themselves laughing hysterically together for at least a minute straight. The #laughterchallenge becomes the catalyst for the true Laughter Challenge; in which the entire city of Boston will congregate together on the summer solstice to laugh together, and otherwise lose their minds, for a few minutes, in a demonstration of free expression and communal joy. As Leo becomes further involved in this movement, he swirls into a downward spiral of fear and anxiety whilst simultaneously trying to put an end to his agonizing opiate addiction. Likewise, Cole begins to feel the pressure of his growing celebrity, and struggles to avoid becoming a fraudulent self-help guru while preaching the paradoxical idea of being seriously committed to silliness and laughter. Is more madness the path to happiness, and if so, why is unbridled joy and silliness stigmatized in a society riddled with anxiety and depression? A dark narrative with humor, intelligence, and a nervous tension driving the plot forward, Slender Notions is at once a brutal account of opiate addiction, and an inquisition into the pursuit of happiness.

Remembering Early Modern Revolutions
Author: Edward Vallance
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 042979648X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
Remembering Early Modern Revolutions is the first study of memory in relation to the major revolutions of the early modern period. Beginning with the English revolutions of the seventeenth century (1642–60 and 1688–9), this book also explores the American, French and Haitian revolutions. Through addressing these events collectively, this volume demonstrates the interconnectedness of these revolutions in the contemporary mind and highlights the importance of invoking the memory of prior revolutions in order both to warn of the dangers of revolution and to legitimate radical political change. It also unpicks the different ways in which these events were presented and their memory utilised, uncovering the importance of geographical and temporal contexts to the processes of remembering and forgetting. Examining both personal and collective remembrance and exploring both private recollection and public commemoration, Remembering Early Modern Revolutions uncovers the rich and powerful memory of revolution in the Atlantic world and is ideal for students and teachers of memory in the early modern period.
