Book Description
The author presents the first detailed and original account of his theory of forms on supermanifolds-a correct and non-trivial analogue of Cartan-de Rham theory based on new concepts. The paper develops the apparatus of supermanifold differential topology necessary for the integration theory. A key feature is the identification of a class of proper morphisms intimately connected with Berezin integration, which are of fundamental importance in various problems. The work also contains a condensed introduction to superanalysis and supermanifolds, free from algebraic formalism, which sets out afresh such challenging problems as the Berezin intgegral on a bounded domain.

Book Description
TFT/LCD is the first book of its kind characterizing thin-film-transistor-addressed-liquid-crystal displays. With chapters and illustrations arranged for easy comprehension, this title begins with a general overview of TFT/LCDs, followed by thorough descriptions of their design, fabrication, characteristics, devices, materials, and basic principles. The topics covered are interdisciplinary to correspond to the diverse fields related TFT/LCDs. The unique features attributed to TFT/LCDs are derived from the combination of amorphous semiconductors and liquid crystals, the two most important materials examined. Device characteristics and materials are discussed primarily in terms of how they relate to display technologies.
Book Description
The first book in a series telling the storyof a bitter conflict that consumes two proud and powerful Venetian families between 1452 and 1492 T he Lion of St. Marktells of the enduring conflict between two powerful Venetian noble families. Ruthless and brave, naval Captain Giovanni Soranzo thirsts for revenge as he wages a vendetta against Antonio Ziani, a proud volunteer marine commander. Their struggle is set during Venice's epic war against the powerful Ottoman Turks, who are intent on conquering Venetian lands, possessing her riches, and utterly destroying the city forever. And so it is that these two patricians, both patriots, must temper their personal actions in the conflict with their devotion and loyalty to their beloved republic. But in a threatened city where two honors reign-that of family, and that of Venice -only one war can be fought: That for the survival of the city itself.

Already looking forward to the second installment........2007-04-19
What a terrific read. Not being a lover of wartime reading, I wasn't sure this was the book for me. I couldn't have been more wrong. It held me from beginning to end.
I can see how the author must have delighted in creating the character of Seraglio. His role as loyal friend, historian, narrator, hero, and so much more, provided essential connecting threads, brought occasional levity, and gave me much needed respite between battles. I don't know how this story could have been told without him. And the debate between Ziani and Abdullah Ali was priceless. I have great admiration for any author who can take on both sides of an argument with equal force. Mr. Quinn did an incredible job.
Captivating and Believable.......2006-09-11
This is a great book! The author should be proud. The plot is captivating, the characters are believable and the style worked on me very well. I felt like I was learning about an era in world history that has relevance today, but in an enjoyable manner. The Lion of St. Mark is comparable to Michener's historic novels about the Chesapeake, the Caribbean, etc. I am thirsty for more. When is #2 of the sequel coming out?
The good guys wear white hats OR crosses.......2006-01-17
There's no doubt that Quinn tells a compelling story, though the times and subject matter are certainly dramatic enough on their own so that it ought to be fairly easy to tell a good story. I find it extremely disturbing, however, that all the Muslims are unremittingly evil, and the Christians, despite their unrestrained quest for greater wealth no matter what--and not necessarily for the glory of God, are always the good guys. There's no inkling that Constantinople became one of the most cosmopolitan and tolerant cities of the world for centuries after its conquest in 1453. I love Venice as much as anyone who's ever visited there, but I object to the black and white depiction of the Muslim and Christian characters. It's that kind of over-simplification that keeps people apart rather than bringing them together. Even more disturbing is the author's note at the end, bleating about how fortunate he feels to have been born an American, as opposed to anyone else who might be so benighted and unlucky to live in Europe or Asia or Africa. It's that kind of smug, complacent, and superior attitude that saw the fall of the Venetian Republic as well as Constantinople/Istanbul. An amateur historian Quinn may be, but he appears not to have learned the historcal lessons of either of those previously great cities. I wonder what the novelists will write of the formerly great American Republic in, say, 500 years time. Who will be the guys in the black hats then?
Gripping and yet informative.......2005-09-27
This book was recommended to me by a friend who also happens to be a history buff, I on the other hand am not. I must tell you that I did not believe that this book would capture my interest but by around page 40 I was totally hooked! I became emotionally attached to the leed characters. Because of the vivid descriptions, I could picture their faces, their homes, their ships and even the prison cells. My only dissappointment came when I reached the end of the book knowing I will have to wait a while for Book Two. I totally enjoyed this wonderful book.
Surprising.......2005-09-03
I was initially worried that I wouldn't like this one as it looked very... maritime and martial. Much as I love Venice I'm not much into sea stories or war stories. But I needn't have worried. This story of the Siege of Constantinople and its aftermath for a pair of patrician families in conflict has all the narrative drive of an adventure story, with characters you'll care about, and description and detail to conjure up the places and the era with an efficiency bordering on the sensual. It's a cliché to say it's like being there, but here it's true, even when it's places you'd rather not be, like dank and rancid cells and the thick of battle. The comparisons with more recent conflicts involving a western power and Islamic states can be made, but should not be laboured, and they're not in the book itself. This is a painless and pleasurable way of familiarising yourself with some grim and important episodes in Venice's history whilst immersing yourself in some fine prose and a ripping yarn. I can't wait for the next one of the trilogy.

The tiny island city-state of Venice was, for a time, one of the greatest maritime powers the world has ever known, its influence extending far beyond the Mediterranean. Garry Wills, well known for his studies of American political history, travels far afield to explore Renaissance Venice at the height of its power.
Venice, Wills writes, was "not an ideal state." Its champions would claim otherwise; they held a view of Venetian "exceptionalism," an idea that the city-state, like its classical Athenian model, was somehow destined for great things. It achieved many of them, gathering phenomenal wealth through the monopolies of its many guilds, floating great navies that controlled the seas, and building a splendid, renowned city. Wills profiles the leaders, great families, corporations, and institutions (including what he calls a "gerontocracy" of elder statesmen) that allowed such growth, as well as women, ordinary workers, and other actors who do not often figure in histories of the period. He examines the religious beliefs and worldly wisdom that motivated and justified the Venetian impulse to achieve wealth and power, and he takes his readers on a learned tour of Venice's architectural and artistic glories--many of which survive today.
No, it was not ideal, Wills concludes, "just better than most of those around it--better able to sustain, over a long period, whatever ideals it had." His account of those ideals and the city they made will appeal to a wide audience of readers. --Gregory McNamee
Book Description
Garry Wills's Venice: Lion City is a tour de force -- a rich, colorful, and provocative history of the world's most fascinating city in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when it was at the peak of its glory. This was not the city of decadence, carnival, and nostalgia familiar to us from later centuries. It was a ruthless imperial city, with a shrewd commercial base, like ancient Athens, which it resembled in its combination of art and sea empire.
Venice: Lion City presents a new way of relating the history of the city through its art and, in turn, illuminates the art through the city's history. It is illustrated with more than 130 works of art, 30 in full color. Garry Wills gives us a unique view of Venice's rulers, merchants, clerics, laborers, its Jews, and its women as they created a city that is the greatest art museum in the world, a city whose allure remains undiminished after centuries.
Like Simon Schama's The Embarrassment of Riches, on the Dutch culture in the Golden Age, Venice: Lion City will take its place as a classic work of history and criticism.
Customer Reviews:
Venetian art as reflection of politics/history/economics.......2005-09-15
This is a wonderful book. While Wills has been criticized as a non-specialist in these reviews, in many ways I found that an asset in this book. It is beautifully written - he has a uniquely clear and flowing style of writing that is a continual pleasure for me - and as he presents the essence of the many subjects he wishes to cover, he rarely gets bogged down in detail. In addition, many of the things that he investigates are wonderful surprizes for non-specialized readers such as myself (e.g. that the body of St. Mark was stolen by Venetians and set up in a shrine to establish the legitimacy of the city's unusual political culture).
THe book is organized in several theme sections. First, in Imperial Disciplines, there are the historical origins and unique structure of this Renaissance state, which allowed it to escape the power struggles that dogged medieval Italy, i.e. unlike the innumerable city states re-fought the same territorial battles every generation under different egomaniacs. Second, in Imperial Personnel, Wills looks at the various members of society, from the frozen aristocracy (built on the expectation of duty rather than priviledge) to the workers who made the city's arsenal such as great and unique strategic asset as well as the "outsiders," such as the Jews (the word "ghetto," we learn, was coined for Venetian brass foundaries); how the state functioned, who held power and how it was exercised (in a diffused bureaucratic balance), are expertly described while avoiding the heaviness of a comprehensive history. Third, in Imperial Piety, there is the religious iconography and ritual, which in part allowed Venetians the sense of legitimacy they needed to defy Rome and the Pope over centuries. As I am quite ignorent of Christian history, this was fascinating and valuable for me, e.g. that St George was a Christianized Hercules, who also "fought" the many plagues that inevitably arose in the Venetian environment. Finally, in Imperial Learning, there is the Renaissance scholarship that came late to the city, and how it altered the art, politics, book scholarship, and the like - all set in geo-political context. Throughout - and sometimes with too much descriptive detail for me - Wills interprets the art and architecture of Venice in light of these themes. The result is simply dazzling, in my view, a masterwork by a great populariser and philosophical moralist.
At any rate, this was exactly what I was looking for, and from reading many of WIlls' books, what I expected. It is not for graduate-level academics, but rather for those well informed on European history who are curious to learn more on Venice.
Warmly recommended.
Venice: Lion City.......2002-10-26
This book provides some interesting artistic and historic insights to lovers of Venice, but it is a difficult "read" and is often strained in its interpretations and conclusions. It also presumes a fairly advanced knowledge of Venetian art and history. In addition, there are various out-and-out errors: For example, on pg. 19, the Italian word "fondaco" is wrong-- it should be "fondamento"; on pg. 21, the saint identified as Stephen is actually Sebastian; on pg. 264, St. Sebastian's date, stated unequivocally to be 4th century A.D., could just as well have been 3rd century, since sources differ on the point. I would have expected a higher degree of accuracy from this author.
Turgid, but- -.......2002-10-13
I'm afraid "elventh" has it correct. This book is a great study of a specific slice of art history. I read everything Wills writes and pass along his writings to everyone I know, but not this one. For those with the patience and background, (I lack the background, but after reading it I lack less) however, it is fully worth the time.
An intelligent book in an unsatisfactory edition.......2002-07-09
Gary Wills's VENICE: LION CITY is a very intelligent study in cultural criticism by a popular and eminent American historian: as the book's dustcover makes clear, Simon and Schuster wants to market this as Wills' entry into Simon Schama territory. Basically, he's trying to interpret the most famous works of Venetian Renaissance art and architecture through the pervasive imperial ideology of what was an odd throwback to a Hellenistic city-state. The book works best for someone with a strong familiarity with the art of Venice already, and Wills answers some very intriguing questions along the way both on a factual level (why is the winged lion used to represent St. Mark, the city's patron? Why were Christians in earlier times so obsessed with saints' relics?) and on the interpretive level as well (why are Bellini's Madonnas so inward-looking?). But Simon and Schuster have not served this book well on many levels. It deserves a much fancier format than it is allowed, with much larger reproductions and more full-colored plates: some works Wills discusses (like Titan's "Assumption") are not reproduced at all, and a massive work like Tintoretto's "Crucifixion"--so important to Wills' argument--deserves a two-page (or fold-out) reproduction than the mere one page it receives. Also, someone needed to edit the book much more vigorously. I counted several times when Wills basically repeats an entire paragraph of interpretation from earlier in the work. This is a good book, but not for the casual reader, and it deserves in the future a much more sophisticated revision and re-issue.
Art History 312: Renaissance Venice.......2002-05-17
VENICE: LION CITY is essentially a text book for an art history course. Garry Wills demonstrates how every aspect of society, government and religion that made Venice a great power is expressed in painting, sculpture and architecture of the 15th and 16th centuries.
Wills pulls together a wide range of scholarship and makes it--in one rather compact volume--accessible to the general reader. While it may be a bit dry, the book is interesting and relatively brisk reading.
If you're a Venetophile and would like to know more about art and society at the Serene Republic's height, you should enjoy VENICE: LION CITY.

Amazing Book!.......2001-07-11
This is the story of Marco Polo, told with a poets ear.
Frutkin uses this most interesting of historical figures
to explore what it means to be human. (No pun intended.)
Though this is a fictional account, I feel closer to
Polo than any sterile account could have taken me. This
story is filled with magic, and all connected to the
statue of the winged Lion of Venice that guards
Marco Polo's hometown. To Marco, the Lion is real,
a fiece guardian guiding him in times of danger.
And there is plenty of danger for a traveler in the 13th Century.
From desert sand storms to distrustful natives,
Marco sees it all. Marco Polo's journey from Venice to
China and back to Venice again took almost a quarter of a
century. He saw amazing sights, he endured illness and
difficult traveling conditions. And he lived to tell his
tale. And oh what a telling it is. I was hooked from
the first word to the last. I could have read this
book in a day, but instead I took a month in hopes
of savoring every turn of phrase and every image Frutkin
evokes. In my family there is a waiting list to read
this book, and the list keeps growing. Get this book
and you will not be disapointed.

Pledged to protect Venice from its mighty enemies, warrior lord Olivier Ducci Mondaldo could not ignore a request to aid France in the Holy War against the Sultan Bayezid. That the messenger who carried the plea was none other than Lady Julian Madrigal, the child who had engineered his escape from the sultan six years before, was even more disquieting. For Julian was now an alluring woman who demanded that Olivier honor his promises to her. The daughter of a woman rumored to be a powerful witch, Julian's own gifts as a healer were frightening to her, but no more frightening than the passionate bond she shared with Olivier-a bond doomed by her own secrets and Olivier's betrothal to a wealthy Venetian widow. Yet as the city rallied toward Crusade, and Olivier prepared his fleet for the voyage to Nicopolis, Julian made a desperate decision that would forever alter the passionate destiny she and Olivier shared.

Darkly sensual and riviting! Very highly recommended.......2001-05-12
The fourteenth century was a time of darkness, when crusaders brought their families grief, when Strega witches served as village healers, and when witches were burned. Dudgeons and holy wars divided families and brought death, and author Deborah Johnes masterfully recreates this bleak tone, tinged by the beauty of a love story, in THE LION OF VENICE.
Warrior nobleman Oliver Ducci Montaldo is one of the protectors of Venice. He prides himself on adherence to the knightly vows that his family has followed for generations. Yet now, on the eve of announcing his engagement to Lady Domiziana, he finds his thoughts on his young ward. Julian's presence in his life creates a conundrum, reminding him of what he once was, and what he lost. Yet he knows so little about her. He doesn't even know the important things about her, like what irritates her or what makes her laugh.
When Oliver gave her his word six years ago, Julian implicitly believed the words given on the honor as a knight. It had happened so suddenly. A tug from sleep; a flight into the night. A tunnel where she said goodbye to her mother and was placed into Oliver's safe keeping. They had both been at the Dogan Bey's against their will; she had been a twelve-year-old concubine. He had been a prisoner. She made him swear they would return to Nicopolis one day for her mother. Now, six years later, Julian returns to her guardian. Not a day had passed without a thought of him.
People say that Julian's mother, Aalyne de Lione, was a witch. Her power was passed to her daughter, and now the villagers live in fear of her. But they fear her less than she fears herself. Julian would forget her gifts of healing, if she could. She cannot ignore her gifts, however, any more than she can ignore her feelings for Oliver, who is betrothed to a wealthy Venetian. As the city rallies for the Crusade and Oliver prepares his fleet for the voyage to Nicopolis, Julian's desperate choice forever alter both their destinies. The answer to Julian's questions lies in Nicopolis, including the truth about her mother's fate, her heritage, and the magic of her gifts.
Danger lurks in every turn of the page, the ominous tone foreshadowing the revelation of secrets that bind two lives. The exotic, vivid background recreates an almost forgotten era, and the author writes with a knowledge and understanding of witchcraft. For example, Johns captures the dangers of the Strega witch with flair. The accurate historical details and opulent descriptions create a riveting tale. This second installment of the trilogy will leave the readers waiting impatiently for the third. Very highly recommended.

The Shadow of the Lion.......2007-09-24
Absolutley rivetting. The politcs in this are staggering in their compelxity and Mercedes Lackey does it so well. Beautiful descritpions and the relationships bwteen characters is wodnerful, exciting and meets all expectations of their capabilities and interaction.
Giant book. Worth reading every page... and again... and again..........2006-05-04
In-depth historical research blends seamlessly into imaginative creation of entirely new material in this novel, which manages to make use of the classic tragic and comedic techniques common to Italy itself in the 16th century.
I find this is far more engaging and thoughtful material than Flint's prior historical fiction, not nearly so repetitious as some of Mercedes' recent work (which, although enjoyable, tends to be in the same vein all the time), and more plausible than what I've seen from Freer in the past.
I've appreciated Lackey's and Flint's work a great deal in the past, and I loved the collaborative work.
Who does this storyline belong to?.......2005-09-03
While I am extremely pleased as to how this book turned out compared to Lackey's usual material, I'm a little perturbed about the who this story line belongs to. About 15 years ago, I stumbled acrossed a series called Merovingian Nights. It is around 7 books long, and is pieced together by a plethora of authors. The series was not truly co-authored in the way we think of it now, but where each author wrote their own chapter in the novel. Sometimes it ended with some discontinuity.
Shadow of the Lion is what I wanted Merovingian Nights to be. But does the story belong to CJ Cherryh or does it belong to Mercedes Lackey? It is not 100 percent the same, but a good 80% the same. Names, settings, plots.
While I really enjoyed the book and its sequel, my enjoyment was dampened by the fact I couldn't get the idea of [...] out of my head.
Avid Mercedes Lackey fan who still likes the book.......2005-06-04
This book isn't much like Mercedes Lackey's normal writings, but isn't that the point of a collaborative work? I'm only giving it four stars because it is a bit hard to get into at first and the character list is extensive. It can sometimes be difficult to remember who is who, even with the glossary. I found myself having to write notes in the glossary just to record my thoughts on their characters and motivations. The plot is constantly twisting and there is enough humor without making the book silly. I've read almost every book by a female fantasy or sci fi writer (and quite a few of the men as well!) and found this one a delightful change.
Mercedes wrote this?.......2004-12-27
I've been a longtime fan of Mercedes and own most of her Valdemar series. So, of course, I picked this book up at my local store. After wrestling through 50 pages, I gave up! I plan to sell it back to my local store ASAP- this is nothing better than a paperweight in my bookshelves. The worst part is, my boyfriend picked it up and tried reading it. Now he thinks that this is a good example of her work!
