This book explores the evolution of graph theory in North America from 1876 to 1976. It begins with James Joseph Sylvester, a prominent mathematician who became the first professor of mathematics at Johns Hopkins University and introduced the modern concept of "graph" in his inaugural lecture, linking it to algebra and chemistry. A century later, in 1976, Kenneth Appel and Wolfgang Haken solved the long-standing four color problem, marking a significant milestone in the field. The narrative traces graph theory's development, highlighting both well-known and lesser-known figures. While many mathematicians dedicated their careers to graph theory, some, like Hassler Whitney, transitioned to other areas, and others, including C. S. Peirce and George Birkhoff, made contributions while focusing on different fields. Interspersed throughout are contextual interludes detailing the growth of the American university system and the parallel advancements in Europe. Additionally, the book summarizes key publications that shaped the discipline. Overall, it chronicles how graph theory emerged, took root, and thrived in America.

Set in West Africa, this third novel in the author's Bruce Medway series finds the protagonist caught up in a savage world where a power-hungry Nigerian presidential candidate, a rich blow-loving American and a mafia capo are fighting a silent war in which pawns are badly needed.

At first encounter with any of Robert Wilson's main stage works can be literally overwhelming. The sheer beauty of his theatrical visions, the dreamy rightness of the action, the hypnotic blend of non-linear disjunction and deeper coherence... all of these seize one's attention and, if one is particularly susceptible to Wilson's power, compel one into thinking that nothing like this can ever have happened on a stage before. To characterize Robert Wilson's work as a summation of his activities as a teacher, writer, sculptor, painter, designer, architect and theater director would be to emphasize the diversity of his talents and overlook the coherence which underlies his work. This exhibition of Wilson's work was designed to expand our perception as we continue to view and review the impact of many arts upon the visual world.

Exploring the intersection of theater and design, this book highlights Robert Wilson's innovative approach to chair design within his artistic oeuvre. Since the 1960s, Wilson has integrated uniquely crafted chairs into his productions, treating them as integral components of his performances. Featuring works from 1969 to 2011, the publication showcases a diverse range of materials and styles, including the Parzival Sofa and the Clementine Hunter Rocker. It also reveals Wilson's dual role as a designer and collector, presenting several previously unexhibited pieces.

What was the original purpose of the Gospel of Matthew? For whom was it written? In this two-volume commentary, Walter Wilson interprets Matthew as a catechetical work reflecting the ideological and institutional concerns of disaffected Jewish followers of Jesus in the late first century CE. Wilson’s thesis frames Matthew’s Gospel as a continuation of the biblical narrative and a didactic text aimed at shaping the identity of a dissident minority. It clarifies Jesus’s Jewish character as the “Son of David,” while contrasting him with prominent religious leaders, particularly the Pharisees, and showing his openness to non-Jews. Through meticulous engagement with the Greek text and relevant literature, Wilson provides insights into the first book of the New Testament. After an introduction that covers the text's background, genre, literary features, and theological orientation, he offers thorough commentary on each passage, addressing topics like morality, liturgy, mission, group discipline, and eschatology. Scholars, students, pastors, and readers interested in the unique aspects of Matthew among the Synoptics will benefit from Wilson’s deep contextualization, informed by his extensive study of the New Testament and Christian origins.

What was the original purpose of the Gospel of Matthew? For whom was it written? In this two-volume commentary, Walter Wilson interprets Matthew as a catechetical work reflecting the ideological and institutional concerns of disaffected Jewish followers of Jesus in the late first century CE. Wilson argues that Matthew's Gospel serves as both a continuation of the biblical narrative and a didactic text aimed at shaping the identity of a beleaguered minority. The text emphasizes Jesus's Jewish identity as the "Son of David," while contrasting him with contemporary religious leaders, particularly the Pharisees, and illustrating his openness to non-Jews. Through careful analysis of the Greek text and relevant sources, Wilson provides valuable insights into the first book of the New Testament. The introduction covers the text's background, genre, literary features, and theological orientation. Wilson then offers detailed commentary on each passage, addressing the intended messages to first-century readers regarding morality, liturgy, mission, group discipline, and eschatology. Scholars, students, pastors, and readers interested in the distinctiveness of Matthew among the Synoptics will find Wilson's contextualization of the text both enlightening and beneficial, drawing from his extensive study of the New Testament and Christian origins.

Revealing the richness and influence of Oxford's mathematical tradition and the fascinating characters that have helped to shape it for over 800 years, this second edition brings the story right up to the opening of the new Oxford Mathematical Institute in 2013, with a foreword from Marcus du Sautoy and recent developments from Peter M. Neumann.

"While this, the second volume of the Cosmic Trigger trilogy, continues along the path set by the original Cosmic Trigger I: Final Secret of the Illuminati, it also stands solidly on its own. Any reader with an open mind and a sense of humor cannot help but be entertained and enlightened while following Wilson's explorations into such subjects as the future of cyberspace; the peculiarities of Irish jurisprudence; links among the Mafia, the CIA and the Catholic Church; anal-eroticism in The White House; the Dog Castrator of Palm Springs; and many more observations from his infinitely fertile brain."--Publisher description.
