A Concise Treatise on Quantum Mechanics in Phase Space

["Thomas L. Curtright"]

This is a text on quantum mechanics formulated simultaneously in terms of position and momentum, i.e. in phase space. It is written at an introductory level, drawing on the remarkable history of the subject for inspiration and motivation. Wigner functions -- density matrices in a special Weyl representation -- and star products are the cornerstones of the formalism.The resulting framework is a rich source of physical intuition. It has been used to describe transport in quantum optics, structure and dynamics in nuclear physics, chaos, and decoherence in quantum computing. It is also of importance in signal processing and the mathematics of algebraic deformation. A remarkable aspect of its internal logic, pioneered by Groenewold and Moyal, has only emerged in the last it furnishes a third, alternative way to formulate and understand quantum mechanics, independent of the conventional Hilbert space or path integral approaches to the subject.In this logically complete and self-standing formulation, one need not choose sides between coordinate or momentum space variables. It works in full phase space, accommodating the uncertainty principle; and it offers unique insights into the classical limit of quantum theory. The observables in this formulation are c-number functions in phase space instead of operators, with the same interpretation as their classical counterparts, only composed together in novel algebraic ways using star products.This treatise provides an introductory overview and supplementary material suitable for an advanced undergraduate or a beginning graduate course in quantum mechanics.

Theory and Application of Quantum Molecular Dynamics

["John Z.H. Zhang"]

This book provides a detailed presentation of modern quantum theories for treating the reaction dynamics of small molecular systems. Its main focus is on the recent development of successful quantum dynamics theories and computational methods for studying the molecular reactive scattering process, with specific applications given in detail for a number of benchmark chemical reaction systems in the gas phase and the gas surface. In contrast to traditional books on collision in physics focusing on abstract theory for nonreactive scattering, this book deals with both the development and the application of the modern reactive or rearrangement scattering theory, and is written in a fashion in which the development of the reactive scattering theory is closely coupled with its computational aspects for practical applications for realistic molecular reactions. The volume includes such topics as methods for calculating rovibrational states of molecules, fundamental quantum theory for scattering (nonreactive and reactive), modern time-independent computational methods for reactive scattering, general time-dependent wave packet methods for reactive scattering, dynamics theory of chemical reactions, dynamics of molecular fragmentation, semiclassical description of quantum mechanics, and also some useful appendices. The book is intended for the reader to not only understand the molecular reaction dynamics from the fundamental scattering theory, but also utilize the provided computational methodologies in their practical applications. It should benefit graduate students and researchers in the field of chemical physics.

In 1854, just four years after his conversion, Spurgeon, then only 20, became pastor of London's famed New Park Street Church (formerly pastored by the famous Baptist theologian, John Gill). The congregation quickly outgrew their building, moved to Exeter Hall, then to Surrey Music Hall. In these venues, Spurgeon frequently preached to audiences numbering more than 10,000—all in the days before electronic amplification. In 1861, the congregation moved permanently to the newly constructed Metropolitan Tabernacle.","name":"Charles Haddon Spurgeon","num_books":4445,"num_followers":"1347"}

Chagall

["Ingo F. Walther"]

Colourful dreams and Chagall's world full of everyday miracles The Belarusian painter Marc Chagall (1887-1985) is widely regarded as epitomizing the "painter as poet". The worldwide admiration he commanded remains unparalleled by any artist of the century. Chagall’s paintings, steeped in mythology and mysticism, portray colourful dreams and tales that are deeply rooted in his Russian Jewish origins. The memories and yearning they evoke recall his native Vitebsk, and the great events that mark the life of ordinary birth, love, marriage and death. They tell of a world full of everyday miracles - in the room of lovers, on the streets of Vitebsk, beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Heaven and earth seem to meet in a topsy-turvy world in which whimsical figures of people and animals float through the air with gravity-defying serenity.

Melon, Herzog der Sugambrer, schmiedet seinerseits eine Koalition gegen die römischen Invasoren. Wer hat Erfolg? Auf welche Seite wird sich der Stamm der Cherusker schlagen?Mittendrin befindet sich Centurio Marcellus, der eine Centurie der XVIII Legion befehligt. Er muss sich mit zweifelhaften Verbündeten, der schlechten Versorgungslage fernab der römischen Legionsstützpunkte und germanischen Hinterhalten herumschlagen. Auch sein Privatleben bleibt vom Krieg nicht verschont. Es ist nicht immer leicht, den Überblick zu behalten und das Richtige zu tun. Denn wie schon Cicero sagte: Inter arma enim silent leges.

Dark Promises

["Winter Renshaw"]

I have a secret …
 I don’t care if you like me or not. 
 Insatiable lust for power and control runs thick in my veins. My father served as President of the United States of America—and his father before him. Montgomerys are born to lead and rule, to fear nothing and cower to no one, to make allegiances, not friends. 
 But I digress.
 With a senate campaign about to launch and presidential aspirations at fever-pitch intensity, imagine my dismay when my strategist tells me I need to “settle down” with a “nice girl” in order to appeal to my constituents. 
Enter Rowan Aldridge, a head-turning stunner with a charm school walk, Jackie O. refinement, and a well-connected family. 
 She’s perfect.
 So I’ll do what I have to do, make her believe what I need her to believe, and as soon as the campaign’s over and I’ve secured my senatorial seat, I’ll release my pretty little butterfly back into the wild. 
 But this isn’t about all of that. 
 This is what happens when a villain falls in love. 
 AUTHOR'S NOTE 1: This book is SUPER LIGHT on politics. Like ... extremely. All characters and parties are 100% fictitious and not based on anything you currently see on TV or read in the news. Promise! AUTHOR'S NOTE 2: Dark Promises is a full-length standalone romance and a spin-off of Dark Paradise. You do NOT need to read Dark Paradise first. However, for a limited time, I've included Dark Paradise + Bachelor, books in which the hero of this book has showcased his delicious villainy. :-) All books are full-length standalones. Rest assured that if Dark Promises ends around 30%, it is still a full-length novel.

The Apache and the Pale Face Soldiers

["Sara Barnard"]

Wind That Knocks Down Lodges loves his Apache mother Shining Waters, his grandfather Chief Strawberry Moon, his baby sister Cactus Flower and the wildness of the desert canyonland they call home. He has even developed a rough-hewn trust for Cactus Flower’s father, the pale face soldier from the fort that their mother loves. In one night of gross misunderstanding and novice mistakes, Knocks Down and Cactus Flower’s innocent young world is broken and shaken before they find themselves locked in the soldier fort with the pale faces and their mother’s lifeless body. With no one to lean on but each other and the fragile balance between the Apache and the soldiers irreparably upset, Knocks Down and Cactus Flower must make their way as children of The People in the pale face world – pale faces who have now become the enemy.

La continuïtat en l’escriptura poètica i la seva eclosió a l’escalf del moviment feminista i de l’afirmació de la llibertat individual i col·lectiva que viu el país. Amb més de seixanta anys, torna a publicar i, sobre aquests sòlids fonaments, construeix, llibre rere llibre, la seva obra poètica, i, amb les seves traduccions de dones poetes en llengua anglesa, enriqueix la tradició literària catalana. Participa activament en la vida social i literària, i encomana entusiasme a les noves fornades de poetes i d’activistes, de lectores i de lectors. Sempre al costat de la causa de les dones i de la llibertat, de la llengua catalana i de la independència de Catalunya. Fins el seu últim dia, el 9 de setembre de 2014, i molt més enllà, amb la seva poesia i amb aquest llibre que, a través dels seus records, recupera el fil conductor de la seva existència.

["Victoria Ash"]

Ellas llegan, te enamoran y se van. Te dejan en la mano un par de versos y un vacío en el alma lo suficientemente grande como para acabar el poema. Ése y otros cien. Ellas tienen la culpa de que escribas. La culpa del desamor. De la guerra. Si me apuras, del hambre. Están por todas partes y nadie está a salvo. Nadie está a salvo del amor. De sentir. La culpa es de las musas por devolvernos a la vida cada vez que ésta se acaba...

The Everyman Book of Nonsense Verse

["Louise Guinness"]

This hilariously readable collection of classic nonsense poetry, delightfully illustrated throughout, is a showcase of comic talent and sheer silliness. The Everyman Book of Nonsense Verse features an eclectic spectrum of contributors ranging wildly from Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll to Hilaire Belloc, Ted Hughes, Ogden Nash, and Shakespeare, with illustrations by Mervyn Peake, Quentin Blake, Emma Chichester Clark, Spike Milligan, and the deliciously sinister Edward Gorey. Such old favorites as “The Owl and the Pussycat” are accompanied by “ The Mystery Cat” and “Jabberwocky,” while Ted Hughes’s “Wodwo” sits alone by the bank of a stream in a state of innocence and curiosity that mirrors a child’s sense of wonder at the universe. Whether sweetly funny or deliciously naughty, these masterpieces of the art of the absurd will charm readers both young and old.

Fighting Back: A Novel

["Charles Alverson"]

A MAN PUSHED TO HIS BREAKING POINT... When neighborhood thug Charlie Rice comes into Harry Caster's new bar with an ultimatum - give up half the bar or pay the price - Harry wants to give in. Has to give in. After all, Rice has deep ties to Abe Montera, a local crime boss with a violent reputation. And Rice's own volatile reputation precedes him. But with a wife and two children at home - and every last dollar invested into the fledgling bar - Harry has no choice. He has to fight back. Enlisting the help of a war veteran turned PI, Caster tells Rice that he won't give in under any circumstances. Rice responds by blowing up Caster's car. And with the stakes now elevated far beyond what either expected, both will soon discover just how far a man must go to protect the ones he loves.

Nowhere Else on Earth

["Josephine Humphreys"]

In the summer of 1864, sixteen-year-old Rhoda Strong lives in the Lumbee Indian settlement of Robeson County, North Carolina, which has become a pawn in the bloody struggle between the Union and Confederate armies. The community is besieged by the marauding Union Army as well as the desperate Home Guard who are hell-bent on conscripting the young men into deadly forced labor. Daughter of a Scotsman and his formidable Lumbee wife, Rhoda is fiercely loyal to her family and desperately fears for their safety, but her love for the outlaw hero Henry Berry Lowrie forces her to cast her lot with danger. Her struggle becomes part of the community's in a powerful story of love and survival. Nowhere Else on Earth is a moving saga that magnificently captures a little-known piece of American history.

Music in the Early Twentieth Century

["Richard Taruskin"]

The universally acclaimed and award-winning Oxford History of Western Music is the eminent musicologist Richard Taruskin's provocative, erudite telling of the story of Western music from its earliest days to the present. Each book in this superlative five-volume set illuminates-through a representative sampling of masterworks-the themes, styles, and currents that give shape and direction to a significant period in the history of Western music. Music in the Early Twentieth Century, the fourth volume in Richard Taruskin's history, looks at the first half of the twentieth century, from the beginnings of Modernism in the last decade of the nineteenth century right up to the end of World War II. Taruskin discusses modernism in Germany and France as reflected in the work of Mahler, Strauss, Satie, and Debussy, the modern ballets of Stravinsky, the use of twelve-tone technique in the years following World War I, the music of Charles Ives, the influence of peasant songs on Bela Bartok, Stravinsky's neo-classical phase and the real beginnings of 20th-century music, the vision of America as seen in the works of such composers as W.C. Handy, George Gershwin, and Virgil Thomson, and the impact of totalitarianism on the works of a range of musicians from Toscanini to Shostakovich

Amaruši

["Vedrana Rudan"]

O Vedrani Rudan je na ovim prostorima već mnogo toga rečeno i napisano, kao i u svijetu gdje se njene knjige redovito prevode. Amaruši je još jedan od njenih romana u kojoj se junakinje bore za život na život i smrt. Junakinje? Nema junaka? Ili ipak ima jedan? Brak, preljub, odlazak, povratak, djeca, nezaposlenost, Afganistan… pa čak i ljubav, a sve to kroz oči djevojčice Amaruši. Čitajte! Vedrana Rudan je glas koji definitivno vrijedi čuti. - Guardian Vedrana Rudan ujedinjuje Celineovsku grozničavost s bjesomučnom opsesivnošću Bernharda, ona provocira, ali to su istine koje pogađaju pravo mjesto. - La Matricule des Anges Vedrana Rudan piše oštro i beskompromisno, djelimično i vulgarno, i pritom do kraja uvjerljivo slika život u tranziciji, u domovini 'koja je igračka dana u ruke male skupine velikih razbojnika'. - Mladina

Social Entrepreneurship and Tourism

["Pauline J. Sheldon"]

This volume explores the links between the rapidly growing phenomenon of social entrepreneurship (SE) and the international tourism and hospitality industry. This unique industry is particularly ripe for transformation by SE and the book’s authors delve deeply into the reasons for this. The book has three parts. The first creates a conceptual and theoretical framework for understanding the uniqueness of SE in the tourism context. The second examines different communities of practice where SE is being applied in tourism. The third is a rich collection of case studies from eight countries where tourism SE is already having an impact. The book’s authors address the topic from many different angles, disciplinary backgrounds and geographic areas. Many case study authors are practicing social entrepreneurs who share their successes, challenges and experience with tourism-related projects. The book also proposes a research agenda and educational programmatic changes needed to support tourism SE. As these are developed, tourism SE will bring innovation to destinations, transformation of their economic and social structures, and contribution to a better world. The book has many insights and resources for scholars and practitioners alike to usher in this transformation.

["Edgar Rice Burroughs"]

The year is 2137. Two hundred years ago -- in our time, more or less -- Eurasia fought a war to end all wars, a war that meant, for all intents and purposes, the end of the Old World. The Americas managed to retain their civilization -- but only by engaging by the most extreme form or isolationism imaginable for two centuries, now, no American has ventured east of the thirtieth parallel. "East for the East . . ." the slogan went, "The West for the West!" Until a terrible storm at sea forced American lieutenant Jefferson Turck to disobey the law, seeking safe harbor in England -- where he found that two centuries of isolation have desolated the land. The damaged ship found a Europe that is no longer an enemy -- a ruined land that is utterly unable to be an enemy -- or a friend.

In the Footsteps of Greatness

["Josh Mathe"]

Having attempted and failed to traverse the entire 212-mile John Muir Trail twice before, Josh Mathe decided to brave the Sierra Nevada wilderness one last time. And to up the ante, this time he would try to run! In the Footsteps of Greatness is an inspirational and refreshingly authentic account of what Josh found while exploring his limits on the edge of the world. From the shady depths of Yosemite Valley to the top of 14,505’ Mount Whitney through some of the most treacherous and starkly beautiful terrain on the planet, this memoir is both a thrilling adventure (complete with bear encounters and snowstorms) as well as a poignant look into the mind and spirit of an athlete who is nothing if not human.

Nation, Ethnicity and Race on Russian Television: Mediating Post-Soviet Difference

["Stephen Hutchings"]

Russia, one of the most ethno-culturally diverse countries in the world, provides a rich case study on how globalisation and associated international trends are disrupting, and causing the radical rethinking of approaches to, inter-ethnic cohesion. The book highlights the importance of television broadcasting in shaping national discourse and the place of ethno-cultural diversity within it. It argues that television’s role here has been reinforced, rather than diminished, by the rise of new media technologies. Through an analysis of a wide range of news and other television programmes, the book shows how the covert meanings of discourse on a particular issue can diverge from the overt significance attributed to it, just as the impact of that discourse may not conform with the original aims of the broadcasters. The book discusses the tension between the imperative to maintain security through centralised government and overall national cohesion that Russia shares with other European states, and the need to remain sensitive to, and to accommodate, the needs and perspectives of ethnic minorities and labour migrants. It compares the increasingly isolationist popular ethnonationalism in Russia, which harks back to "old-fashioned" values, with the similar rise of the Tea Party in the United States and the UK Independence Party in Britain. Throughout, this extremely rich, well-argued book complicates and challenges received wisdom on Russia’s recent descent into authoritarianism. It points to a regime struggling to negotiate the dilemmas it faces, given its Soviet legacy of ethnic particularism, weak civil society, large native Muslim population and overbearing, yet far from entirely effective, state control of the media.

With her newfound sister moving to town, her true father being exposed, and the knowledge that her mother has lied to her since birth, Bridgett wants to get the heck out of Dodge. But when a handsome, mysterious stranger arrives, she finds her determination wavering. His family wants nothing to do with him, and Adam Steele can't say he blames them. He's denied their existence for years in his pursuit of fame and glory. Now he just wants to be a regular guy. Ramblewood may be the best place for a fresh start…especially if Bridgett sticks around. But will exposing his past—and the lies he's told—cost him a future with the woman he loves?

Interaction and the Development of Mind

["A.J. Wootton"]

This study identifies key mechanisms through which a young child operates with external knowledge in his/her immediate social context. Central to this is the child's capacity to draw on discourse-based understandings that have become evident in prior interaction. In contrast to studies that analyze development under different headings, such as language, emotions and cognition, Tony Wootton links these aspects in his examination of the state of understanding that exists at any given moment in interaction. The result is a distinctive social constructionist approach to children's development.

Moonlight Becomes You

["Piper Vaughn"]

This edition is no longer available. Eleven years ago, Shane Ventura made the biggest mistake of his life when he caved in to pressure from his record label to kick his best friend, Jesse Seider, out of their band, Luck. To this day, Shane has never wanted anyone more, and all the sex and alcohol in the world can’t fill the void Jesse left behind. Not even the prospect of teaming up with Britain’s hottest band, Moonlight, for a massive world tour can get him out of his funk. Then he meets lead singer Kayden Berlin and falls into instant lust. Kayden may act like he’s not interested, but Shane knows he feels the spark between them. Yet the harder Shane pushes, the more Kayden pulls away, until one explosive night leaves Shane with a broken heart. That seems to be his lot — lucky at everything but love. Shane still has one lesson left to learn, though: when it comes to love, you can’t always leave things to chance.

["Mason Duchatschek"]

IS THIS BOOK FOR YOU? If you want to get more accomplished, faster, through other people, and you aspire to be the kind of leader who gets things done right the first time instead of doing things over, then pay close attention. Leadership development, management training, team building exercises, diversity training and conflict resolution techniques only go so far. Do you want to be the kind of leader who inspires others to contribute the best of their talents every day? What differentiates the leaders employees will follow and support from the managers they can’t stand and try to sabotage? Got some drama and employee conflict emerging that could tear everything apart? Got an uninspired workforce doing just enough to avoid being fired? Want to avoid unnecessary lawsuits and bad press coverage? Or do you have a good thing going and want to keep it that way? If any of the above apply to you, then this book is definitely for you. WHAT’S IN THE BOOK? Prepare for important questions that will lead you to your own answers. Your assumptions will be challenged. You’ll discover practical options you didn’t know existed for solving big problems and seizing even bigger opportunities. This book highlights and discusses a number of strategies, perspectives and approaches that help leaders build the kind of organization that accomplishes their objectives and create a culture that everyone can be proud of.

We will identify and discuss all sorts of common and unnecessary mistakes OTHER leaders and managers make that you can easily avoid. This book was written to help expose blind spots that are jeopardizing your job, career or future RIGHT NOW without you even knowing about them.

Through memorable, real-life stories and practical examples, you will learn to avoid expensive and embarrassing lessons that others have had to learn the hard way. You will learn about why blind spots don’t matter when you have other people looking out for you with your best interests in mind.

BMW R100RS

["Bill Stermer"]

When the R100RS first came on the scene in 1977, it caused a complete sensation. Sporting a revolutionary wedge-shaped fairing that offered the rider near total enclosure, it provided unparalleled riding ease and protection. When fitted with optional saddlebags it sang the song of the open road that BMW riders cherished: long distances at high speeds with comfort and convenience. The first modern street motorcycle with a frame-mounted fairing, it was not only the most stunning BMW model, but with its new 980cc flat-twin motor, also the most powerful. Soon, a vast aftermarket sprang up around it with all sorts of updates for its suspension, handling, and power, as well as a large community of loyal fans and owners which exists to this day. Stermer's timeless book is the engaging story of where that legendary motorcycle came from including an interview with designer Hans Muth, what it was like to ride, and what it meant to motorcycling, told well and with luscious full-color photographs. Stermer's insightful insider's view of this storied machine shows why it continues to live on as one of the most recognizable and groundbreaking machines of our times.

Erotic Grotesque Nonsense: The Mass Culture of Japanese Modern Times

["Miriam Silverberg"]

This history of Japanese mass culture during the decades preceding Pearl Harbor argues that the new gestures, relationship, and humor of ero-guro-nansensu (erotic grotesque nonsense) expressed a self-consciously modern ethos that challenged state ideology and expansionism. Miriam Silverberg uses sources such as movie magazines, ethnographies of the homeless, and the most famous photographs from this era to capture the spirit, textures, and language of a time when the media reached all classes, connecting the rural social order to urban mores. Employing the concept of montage as a metaphor that informed the organization of Japanese mass culture during the 1920s and 1930s, Silverberg challenges the erasure of Japanese colonialism and its legacies. She evokes vivid images from daily life during the 1920s and 1930s, including details about food, housing, fashion, modes of popular entertainment, and attitudes toward sexuality. Her innovative study demonstrates how new public spaces, new relationships within the family, and an ironic sensibility expressed the attitude of Japanese consumers who identified with the modern as providing a cosmopolitan break from tradition at the same time that they mobilized for war.

Dictionary Of Semenyms

["Cecil Goran"]

Though few are comfortable discussing it, men and women of all sexual orientations share a fetish for semen, perhaps because it represents the essence of masculinity. This unabridged dictionary collects 1,513 synonyms for semen - Semenyms - with examples of usage from the erotic literature of such authors as William S. Burroughs, Anne Rice, D.H. Lawrence, James Joyce, D.M. Thomas, David Lynch, and John Waters. By far the most complete and comprehensive study of semen ever attempted, the Dictionary of Semenyms reflects over 25 years of hands-on research and is designed to help you to find creative ways to think about and describe the essence of masculine sexuality. Since no two men are the same, and no two sexual encounters are the same, may you find just the right word for every climax! PRAISE FOR THE DICTIONARY OF SEMENYMS — "Another must have research manual for writers of erotica." —Madeline Moore, author of Wild Card "This should make a big splash with erotica authors." —Ashley Lister, author of Female Confidential "I'm in awe at such dedication to research!" —Janine Ashbless, author of Burning Bright "Wit, wisdom and refreshing honesty shine through in this fascinating volume. It's certainly a book to spark thought and conversation. As a writer, when I look at the end result, I see not just a really fun book but an enormous amount of work. It boggles the mind. You'll find over 1,300 synonyms for semen and every single one has an example. Every. Single. One. Now you might wonder how one could read a whole book based on alternate monikers for semen. So, did I. But now I know ~ Cecil makes it fun! The book is chock full of wonderful illustrations, tips, sidebars, little known facts and of course colorful, fun, sometimes shocking semenyms." —Sommer Marsden, author of My Ending "An amazing and witty celebration of words and jiz . . . Everyone who's ever had sex would probably benefit." —Donna Storey, author of Amorous Woman "Amazing work [by] the Dr Johnson of jizm." —Kristina Lloyd, author of Asking for Trouble "The imagery cited in Dictionary of Semenyms spans centuries, as well as representing a rich, warm, viscous range of categories . . . methodically organized with the lust of the true scholar." —Jeremy Edwards, author of Rock My Socks Off

Losse bedrading

["Eva Gerlach"]

Eva Gerlach publiceerde al langer proza in literaire tijdschriften en kranten. Maar Losse bedrading is haar eerste prozaboek bij De Arbeiderspers.In de overtuiging dat de wereld een vreemde plaats is wanneer je altijd te snel kijkt, hield Eva Gerlach van kindsbeen af een kijkdagboek bij. De boekjes zijn zoekgeraakt in de loop van vele verhuizingen. Toen zij dit aan dichter en criticus Benard Dewulf vertelde, vroeg deze haar in een wekelijkse column voor het boekenbijvoegsel van De Morgen de draad van dat kijkdagboek weer op te pakken.Waar die teksten over gaan? Over kijken en hoe dat verandert als je je er niet meteen uit losmaakt. Dat je tussen je voetstappen door kunt kijken, dat de zwaarte van het huis zich kan openbaren in het turen naar een reepje vloer, dat - om het maar eens drastisch te omschrijven - de gehele werkelijkheid ineens blijkt te kunnen vlotraken. Het zijn, in de woorden van Gerlach zelf, teksten als 'losse bedrading van de binnenkant van mijn hoofd, sliertjes die zich soms wel met elkaar zouden willen verknopen maar dat in 450 à 500 woorden niet klaarspelen. En zo krijgen ze misschien iets van dat kleine vuurwerk dat heel even in diverse kleuren rondtolt op het asfalt alvorens sissend de geest te geven.'Toch komen al die losse draadjes samen in één hoofdader, en die is direct verbonden met de ogen en met het kijken naar mens, ding, toestand en proces. Losse bedrading is een keuze uit in De Morgen verschenen stukjes.Eva Gerlach behoort tot de belangrijkste auteurs uit ons taalgebied. Verschillende van haar dichtbundels werden bekroond met en genomineerd voor diverse literaire prijzen. Voor haar hele poëzieoeuvre ontving zij de P.C. Hooftprijs. Voor Gedichtendag 2003 schreef zij in opdracht de bundel Daar ligt het.

Imagine: Short Stories & Poems

["T.K. Richardson"]

These short stories are snapshots of life. It has been said a picture is worth a thousand words, but I believe a thousand words can create a picture so vivid, layers so complex, that it can be remembered long after the image has faded. As a writer, a storyteller, an addict of words, these stories and poems - all captured with the lens of my imagination - will hopefully resonate with you, the reader. I hope you enjoy them. ~What people are saying about Imagine~ Your stories are so beautiful and your writing is simply magical. ~ Cat Woods, writer Her prose is infectious... ~Edwin D. Ferretti, writer [T.K. Richardson] has always leaned towards the more literary, and more serious, thought-provoking stories. ~Jean Oram, writer, freelance editor

Rights and Redemption: History, Law and Indigenous People

["Ann Curthoys"]

This book examines the role of history in key Indigenous rights cases which occurred during the era of the Howard government, when Indigenous rights and the place of Aboriginal people in the national story were repudiated in a variety of government laws and policies. The book investigates how the courts have made use of historians as expert witnesses, and how the colonial past has been framed and understood by the courts. This is an important historical record of a unique period of litigation in Indigenous affairs in Australia.

Одной крови. Любовь сильнее смерти

["Роман Супер"]

Роман Супер — российский писатель и журналист, лучший репортер страны 2013 года по мнению телекритиков "ТЭФИ" и лучший журналист по версии журнала "Сноб". В 2015 году Роман Супер снял полнометражный фильм "На кончиках пальцев", побывавший в Каннах; тогда же написал и эту книгу, основанную на реальных и драматических событиях в его семье. ""Одной крови" — это, конечно, сначала история большой любви, а уже потом история болезни. Без любви главных героев книги все могло сложиться по-другому. Эту книгу должен прочитать каждый. Не каждый заболевший или каждый член его семьи, а вообще каждый. Чтобы знать, как лечить близкого, если он заболел, как жить при этом самому. И еще — чтобы знать, с чем сталкиваются в России люди с онкологией. Эта история любви, которую не прервала болезнь, в конце концов, дает всем нам главное — надежду", — Марианна Максимовская.

A Private Party

["William Ard"]

When Timothy Dane is hired by a ruthless gang of hoodlums to find the killer of their chief, the tough private eye finds himself caught in a crossfire between vicious mobsters, gun-happy cops, and men living by the jungle law of the waterfront—plus a luscious show-girl whose specialty is a certain kind of “private party.” Dane, as usual, does a swift, tidy job of unraveling the case with some boudoir assistance from Stanzyck’s ex-moll, Roxy Garde. Roxy was down on the police blotter as “profession unknown,” but Dane knew how the beautiful redhead earned her living. When mobster Al Stanzyck was rubbed out, Roxy decided she’d had enough of hoodlums. So she made a desperate play for Dane. But the night Stanzyck’s toughest henchman turned up at her apartment, ready to take up where the boss left off, Roxy knew she’d have to meet violence with the only weapon a woman has.About Vintage Paperback Pulp FictionA new revolution was underway at the start of the 1940s in America—a paperback revolution that would change the way publishers would produce and distribute books and the reading public would consume them. In 1939 a new publishing company—Pocket Books—stormed onto the scene with the publication of its first paperbound book. Unlike hardback books, these pulp paperbacks were available in drugstores, newsstands, bus and train stations, and cigar shops. The American public could not get enough of them. The popular pulp genres reflected the tastes of Americans during the 1930s and 1940s—mysteries, thrillers, and "hardboiled detective" stories were all the rage.In the early 1950s new pulp fiction sub-genres emerged—science fiction, lesbian fiction, juvenile delinquent and sleaze, for instance—that would tantalize readers with gritty, realistic and lurid stories never seen before. Publishers had come to realize that sex sells. In a competitive frenzy for readers, they turned to alluring covers that often featured a sexy woman in some form of undress, along with a suggestive tag line that promised sex and violence within. To this day, the pulp cover art of these vintage paperback books are just as sought after as the books themselves were sixty years ago.We are excited to make these wonderful pulp fiction stories available in ebook format to new generations of readers, as a new revolution—the ebook revolution—is in full swing. We hope you will enjoy this nostalgic look back at a period in American history when dames were dangerous, tough-guys were deadly and dolls were downright delicious.

Manifesti: Viaggio in Italia Attraverso La Pubblicità 1895-1960

["Dario Cimorelli"]

In the late nineteenth century up until very recently, for the middle classes, the famous and the wealthy alike, an extended tour of Italy was a necessary part of a cultural education. Italy's cuisine, its landscapes, its countless art capitals, archeological ruins and its tradition of hospitality made the country a favored destination for an exclusive class of tourist. To alert this lucrative market--as well as Italians themselves--to the many attractions of the Beautiful Country, the message was laid on with graphic radiance in the print culture of the times, through posters, flyers, brochures and picture magazines. Graphic design for tourism advertising was often commissioned from the leading illustrators of the period, from Duilio Cambellotti to Leonetto Cappiello, from Marcello Dudovich to Franz Lenhart, from Gino Boccasile to Mario Puppo. This volume draws on the collection of Achille Bertarelli to tell the story of Italian tourism's rich graphic design heritage in 250 color reproductions.

Magico Vento: Lo Sciamano Bianco dei Sioux

["Gianfranco Manfredi"]

Un tempo era il soldato Ned Ellis. I Sioux l'hanno raccolto tra la vita e la morte e, grazie a loro, Ned è nato di nuovo, diventando un Uomo Strano, cioè uno sciamano e un guerriero dalle capacità imprevedibili. Del suo passato da bianco non ricorda praticamente nulla, a causa di una scheggia di metallo conficcata nella testa; in compenso ha acquisito il dono della visione, cioè la capacità di percepire il futuro attraverso inquietanti premonizioni. Suo compagno di avventure è lo scrittore e giornalista Poe (così soprannominato per la somiglianza con Edgar Allan), anche lui alle prese con un difficile passato di ribelle fra i bianchi. Di Magico Vento il volume propone tre delle sue più amate e celebri storie per la prima volta a colori. - La grande visione (Magico Vento n. 16, 10/1998) - Il ladro di bisonti (Magico Vento n. 33, 03/2000) - I totem (Magico Vento n. 76, 10/2003)

Heimrich of the New York State Police may not have the flash of hard-boiled city detectives, but there’s no lead the intrepid investigator won’t follow until his every hunch is satisfied . . .   Captain Heimrich expects little excitement when he attends the Van Brunt town meeting while visiting his niece and her husband. But when the assembly is cut short due to a raging fire, things get quite exciting indeed.   Half the attendees rush out to fulfill their duties as volunteer firefighters, and the rest follow to see the spectacle of a firehouse ablaze. The flames rage, burning the building to the ground, but it’s not until the next day that the body of town supervisor Orville Phipps is found in the charred ruins.   While it all looks like a tragic accident, Heimrich knows Phipps wasn’t much loved by some of the residents in Van Brunt. His suspicion that the fire was set to cover up a murder is confirmed when it becomes clear that Phipps was shot. Now, it’s up to Heimrich to smoke out a match-happy murderer.   Burnt Offering is the 8th book in the Captain Heimrich Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

La bipolaridad como don: Cómo transformar la inestabilidad emocional en una bendición

["Eduardo H. Grecco"]

A unique treatise on the nature and consequences of bipolar disorder, this book argues that if the emotional oscillations experienced by individuals with the disorder have come to be considered a disadvantage or a dysfunction, it is because medicine and psychology have treated them as such. The study—which examines the characteristics of bipolarity and its corresponding manic and depressive episodes in depth—holds that, rather than a brain disorder that can only be managed by chemical means, the condition is the result of undeveloped talents and can be cured by affirming and channeling those skills into appropriate outlets. Un tratado único sobre la naturaleza y las consecuencias del trastorno bipolar, este libro arguye que si las oscilaciones emocionales experimentadas por individuos con el trastorno han llegado a considerarse una desventaja o disfunción, es porque la medicina y la psicología las han considerado como tales. El estudio—el cual examina a fondo las características de la bipolaridad, la manía y la depresión—sostiene que, en vez de ser un desorden del cerebro que solamente se puede estabilizar por medios químicos, la condición es un resultado de talentos sin desarrollar y se puede curar por afirmar esos dones y canalizarlos en direcciones más apropiadas.
