A textbook for the data structures course in the undergraduate computer science program. It presents traditional data structures material in a thoroughly object-oriented context using C++. The enclosed diskette (available for PC or Mac) includes a large library of software that is used in the text to illustrate both data structuring techniques and object-oriented structuring of information.

Cardinal De LA Rochefoucauld: Leadership and Reform in the French Church

History

Cardinal Richelieu (1583-1642) did more than anyone else to lay the foundations of the French hegemony in Europe and of absolute monarchy in his own country. He was a spokesman for power politics, the idea of raison d’état, and the right of rulers to the unquestioning obedience of their subjects. He was, in addition, one of the richest men in the entire history of France. Joseph Bergin’s study of his wealth―the first full-scale analysis of the fortune of a leading political figure of the ancient régime―reveals the multiple connections that existed at that time between the tenure of political office and the accumulation of individual and family wealth. “A brilliant, fascinating, and elegantly written book.”―American Historical Review “Bergin’s study of Richelieu’s fortune achieves the unexpected feat of adding substantially to our knowledge of one of the most important figures in French history, largely through the exploitation of a group of hitherto unused documents…. Well-constructed and elegantly written…. The book’s great virtue is…that it places Richelieu within the social and economic context of his time.”―Robin Briggs, Times Literary Supplement “Here is a vivid and fascinating guide to the financial basis of high society in Louis XIII’s France, and a precise account of how Richelieu gained and maintained his position in government…. A meticulous and scholarly examination of the fortune accumulated by one man, it sheds much light on the more general topic of the nature and means of noble wealth and influence in the early seventeenth century.”―Roger Mettam, History Today

This is a study devoted to the pre-ministerial career of Cardinal Richelieu, the chief minister to King Louis XIII, who led France to become the foremost power in Europe. Drawing on original sources, some used for the first time, Joseph Bergin discusses Richelieu's family history, his reasons for choosing the church as a vocation, his university studies, his record as a bishop, his writings, and the milieux that he frequented both as a student and as a bishop. While not denying Richelieu's very considerable intellectual and political gifts, Bergin emphasizes that it was a combination of slowly gained experience and external circumstance that allowed a cleric lacking in riches and influence to become the highest political official in the realm.

The Rise of Richelieu

A leading historian of France`s ancient regime here presents the first in-depth study of the French upper clergy during the key period of the Catholic Reformation following the Council of Trent. Joseph Bergin`s description of the creation, character, and role of the early French bishops sheds light on broader issues: social mobility, education, career patterns and prospects, patronage and clientage networks, and royal policy and patronage of the time.

Religion & Spirituality

Religious Studies

This book presents an eloquent account of the power, character, and mentalité of the French church under Louis XIV and of its relationship to the crown and other elite institutions as well as its critics and congregations. Prominent historian Joseph Bergin investigates the background, recruitment, and management of the episcopate, illuminating the process of trial and error by which the king developed a flexible and effective system for appointing qualified and worthy men as bishops.Bergin shows how bishops were appointed and promoted, how no single set of rules ever obtained, and what the inherent limitations of the system were. With balanced judgment throughout, he relates the evolution of the bishops’ selection process to a range of issues, bolstering the story with well-chosen examples and many details of human interest.

Europe

Rich in detail and broad in scope, this majestic book is the first to reveal the interaction of politics and religion in France during the crucial years of the long seventeenth century. Joseph Bergin begins with the Wars of Religion, which proved to be longer and more violent in France than elsewhere in Europe and left a legacy of unresolved tensions between church and state with serious repercussions for each. He then draws together a series of unresolved problems―both practical and ideological―that challenged French leaders thereafter, arriving at an original and comprehensive view of the close interrelations between the political and spiritual spheres of the time. The author considers the powerful religious dimension of French royal power even in the seventeenth century, the shift from reluctant toleration of a Protestant minority to increasing aversion, conflicts over the independence of the Catholic church and the power of the pope over secular rulers, and a wealth of other interconnected topics.

Once programmers have grasped the basics of object-oriented programming and C++, the most important tool that they have at their disposal is the Standard Template Library (STL). This provides them with a library of re-usable objects and standard data structures. It has recently been accepted by the C++ Standards Committee. This textbook is an introduction to data structures and the STL. It provides a carefully integrated discussion of general data structures and their implementation and use in the STL. In so doing, the author is able to teach readers the important features of abstraction and how to develop applications using the STL.

Using the same format that has become so popular in Pascal, Karel the Robot has now become object-oriented. This book is intended to teach novice programmers the fundamentals of object-oriented programming. It accomplishes this goal with an analog equivalent of C++ that allows introductory computer science students to work through a programming project from start to finish.
The book opens by explaining the elaborate Robot world that Karel lives in, a world filled with objects. The text continues this strong metaphor throughout. Through the metaphor, students learn the art of solving programming problems in an object-oriented paradigm.
This text is suitable for any introductory or second course in computer science where C++ is used.
