Caesar's road to Alesia, 1996
Item — Call number MU Thesis Boy
Identifier: b2089125
Thesis [Statement]
This paper will argue that the Battle of Alesia, in and of itself, cements Julius Ceasar's reputation as one of the greatest, if not the greatest generals of antiquity. Alesia, without the recognition of his triumphs in Spain, Greece, and Syria, can alone demonstrate the dynamic almost inhuman military capabilities of Caesar. The problems of being ounumbered six to one, cut from his source of supply, and fighting an exterior and interior enemy simultaneously all failed to undermine the...

Chinese Jews : an incidence of assimilation into Chinese culture, 2010
Item — Call number MU Thesis Edl
Identifier: b2825631
Introduction [excerpt]
Comparisons of Chinese and European Jewish customs, traditions, or observances do not explain the assimilation of Sephardic Chinese Jews by World War I. While a comparison would be intriguing, it goes beyond the scope of the research presented here. The purpose of my research is to examine the critical factors that explain their assimilation. Why China is the only country where the dominating culture almost completely absorbed Jewish identity is the question. My assumption is that Chinese...

Identifier: b2088342
Introduction [excerpts]
The topic of historical scientific inquiry usually has scholars studying the Scientific Revolution of Western Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. Although Western Europe had this full flowering of science, Europeans in many cases borrowed a considerable amount of technology and scientific knowledge from the Chinese. The Chinese had developed most of these items centuries before the West, yet failed to take their understanding of science and technology to the next step. The question...

Item — Call number MU Thesis Nas
Identifier: b2088325
Introduction [excerpt]
This essay traces the diminishing visibility of Aristotle's qualitative physics in Western Europe from the Middle Ages to the modern era, examining various interpretations offered by major thinkers during this time period. Over this stage in history Aristotle's qualitative physics as a visible theory, one that is able to explain the motion of bodies in two realms, the earth and the heavens, is enervated until it is eventually overthrown and replaced by a single quantitative theory...

The enigma of surrealism : the origin of "revolutionary" ideas, 2004
Item — Call number MU Thesis Rej
Identifier: b2089698
Preface [excerpt]
This thesis is an analysis of the origins of surrealist ideas and art. I will attempt to answer the question about where Surrealism came from, what caused it, and who inspired it? I will examine the common theories on the origins of Surrealism and the evidence for them. It is popular among scholars of Surrealism to attribute the emergence of the movement to the First World War. It is my argument that the surrealist's literary predecessors had much more to do with the emergence of the...

Identifier: b2087629
Foreword [excerpt]
[N]ew Jersey fishermen ... in 1976 voted in favor of the Mid-Atlantic Council. At the time they were trying to get rid of large foreign factory ships that were fishing off the Jersey coast. The Council was part of a much bigger United States Fishery Conservation and Management Act that included a 200 mile Exclusive Economic Zone. Arguably, it was only the Zone that New Jersey fishermen wanted in 1976. Their political goal during that period was to protect...
