Gilles li Muisit was the abbot of the Benedictine monastery of St. Martin of Tournai, a city on the north-eastern border of France. This region was a at the centre of Edward III's campaigns in Flanders at the beginning of the Hundred Years War. Le Muisit's chronicle covers events in France and Flanders from the point of view of a well informed contemporary. He kept records of important events from around 1330 onwards, and when he went blind in 1345, he occupied his time by writing up these notes, which were read to him. He then dictated the text to a scribe. An operation for cataracts restored his sight in 1352, but he never managed to revise his text. It consists of a full chronicle up to 1348, and then annals after that. He is a spirited writer, and his comments on fashion (with illuminations) are often quoted; he also has a remarkable passage on how it is impossible for anyone to know what is goingon in a battle (apropos of the battle of Crécy), let alone for a historian to produced an accurate account afterwards. He uses some written records, and writes at first hand of the siege of Tournai in 1340. Much of his informationcomes from the distinguished guests who visited his abbey, but he is very wary about what he hears. 'What they say is partly false, partly true... if I write down things about which I may not be certain, my whole work will be indisrepute'. He is a largely realistic counterweight to the narratives of chivalrous exploits in Jean le Bel and Froissart, who cover the same place and period. And his voice speaks not for the nobility, for whom war represented glory and profit, but for the defenceless and weak who were the main sufferers.

In September 1775, Benedict Arnold let 1,100 men up MaineΓÇÖs Kennebec River in hastily built wooden bateaux. The 300-mile journey along Indian trade routes was intended to allow Arnold and his men to sneak up to the British held Quebec and rout them from the city. While the mission itself was a dismal failure, the 80-day trek by Arnold and his men is considered one of the greatest military expeditions of all time. Fast forward to the 21st century: Writer and adventurer W. Hodding Carter teamed with a small group of friends to retrace ArnoldΓÇÖs route. They built a single bateau (to the exact specifications of those used by ArnoldΓÇÖs men) and strove to make the same trip in the same number of days. What followed was an adventure by turns harrowing and hilarious, as the small band braved Maine weather and water to complete the trip. Carter recounts their journey, from the building of their bateaux to preparing and setting out, to the trials of dealing with white water, swamping, and portaging a nearly 500 pound craft. Woven throughout is the story of ArnoldΓÇÖs expedition, culled from historical sources as well as numerous first-hand accounts in the form of letters home from ArnoldΓÇÖs men. ItΓÇÖs a unique and exhilarating look at a key moment in Maine history.

At 11.56 on 25 April 2015, an earthquake triggered an avalanche that took out Everest Base Camp; twenty-two people perished on the worst day in the mountain's history. In Nepal, 9,000 people died and 22,000 were critically injured. Three million required humanitarian assistance. Nepal's infrastructure and economy collapsed. Two years after the disaster, Nepal struggles to recover. Meanwhile, the Gurkhas, who were central to the events of 2015, are back on the mountain and once more aiming for the top. Will they summit? Will disaster strike again? Where the Earth Meets the Sky is the epic, elemental account of a seismic event - the days leading up to it, the moment it hits and its impact on those it envelops. An unsparing but inspiring chronicle, it shows what it takes to survive a hostile environment, to adapt and overcome. It transports us to the roof of the world, a place where more than sixty bodies lie where they fell; where the mountaineering ghosts of Irvine and Mallory still walk, and the legend of Sir Edmund Hillary lives on.

This book sheds light on the under-examined theme of the drafting of equality rights in constitutional bills of rights. It focuses on three jurisdictions where equality has been central to constitutional debate: South Africa, Canada, Northern Ireland. Avoiding the tendency in much of comparative constitutional law literature to focus on the work of courts, this work draws on empirical research to provide a comprehensive account of the different aspects of the drafting process and difficulties societies face when designing equality rights in bills of rights. The book does this by providing the first systematic analysis of three jurisdictions (South Africa, Canada and Northern Ireland) which have adopted, or debated the adoption of, bills of rights. This is a timely and fascinating book which will help shape and share comparative constitutional scholarship. The book demonstrates how the drafting of an equality provision in bills of rights must be understood against the local background political context in which it is immersed. As the book contains a structured comparison of three countries, it has a wide reach: it provides an essential guide for human rights campaigners, the community and voluntary sector, constitutional law practitioners, the international community, politicians and government, academics and students who wish to know more about the importance of the drafting process and, in particular, the choices raised in drafting equality rights provisions. It is in this context that the comparative experience of the three chosen jurisdictions is indispensable and relevant.

Various convergence acceleration techniques developed in computational mathematics can and have been applied to speed up the convergence of EM and MM algorithms. This monograph will present and discuss these convergence acceleration schemes, with applications and demonstrations using R and Julia code. The monograph will likely be useful to PhD-level graduate students and researchers in statistics, data science, applied mathematics, engineering, and physics working on computational algorithms for big data and high-dimensional problems.

Education Research with Bourdieu demonstrates how education research can be conceived, designed, conducted and analyzed from within a Bourdieuian methodology and what this might mean for the researcher in a reflexive sense. Rawolle highlights the potential of Bourdieu's theories for the analysis of unequal distributions of resources and asymmetries of power within education with a particular focus on the concepts of habitus, practice, field and capital. The author provides case studies from existing research into education policy, educational governance, comparative education and sociology of education and, building on this work, develop new approaches for researching the mediatization of education policy, governance in higher education and the flow of ideas between global and national fields. Dealing with complex theories in an accessible way this book will be essential reading for new and established education researchers who are using Bourdieu's theories for the first time.
