The Made-Up Self: Impersonation in the Personal Essay
ISBN: 9781587299131 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The human presence that animates the personal essay is surely one of the most beguiling of literary phenomena, for it comes across in so familiar a voice that it s easy to believe we are listening to the author rather than a textual stand-in. But the person in a personal essay is always a written construct, a fabricated character, its confessions and reminiscences as rehearsed as those of any novelist. In this first book-length study of the personal essay, Carl Klaus unpacks this made-up self and the manifold ways in which a wide range of essayists and essays have brought it to life. By...

'A veteran writer's ruminations about a key transition point in life that has gotten surprisingly little literary attention: retirement. . . . The quiet testimony of a man whose ongoing writing, editing, reading, gardening, traveling and ceaseless quest for self-knowledge make him much less retired than many people half his age.' -Adam Hochschild, author of King Leopold's Ghost

A Self Made of Words: Crafting a Distinctive Persona in Nonfiction Writing
ISBN: 9781609381943 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Confident or fretful, solemn or sassy, tough or tender, casual or formal: the self you project in writing--your persona--is the byproduct of numerous decisions you make about what to say and how to say it. Though any single word or phrase or sentence might make little difference within the scope of an entire essay or book, collectively they create an impression of who you are or seem to be--an impression that's sure to influence how readers respond to your work. Thus it's essential to take charge of how you come across on the page, to craft an appropriate persona for whatever you're writing,...

Essays of Elia
ISBN: 9780877458517 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 476 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Charles Lamb, one of the most engaging personal essayists of all time, began publishing his unforgettable, entertaining Elia essays in the "London Magazine" in 1820; they were so immediately popular that a book-length collection was published in 1823. Inventing the persona of Elia allowed Lamb to be shockingly honest and to gain a playful distance for self-examination. The resulting essays touch upon a wide range of compelling subjects from the deliciously humorous Dissertation upon Roast Pig to the poignantly reflective New Year's Eve. Yet collectively they also comprise a fascinating...

Box Splines
ISBN: 9780387941011 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Compactly supported smooth piecewise polynomial functions provide an efficient tool for the approximation of curves and surfaces and other smooth functions of one and several arguments. Since they are locally polynomial, they are easy to evaluate. Since they are smooth, they can be used when smoothness is required, as in the numerical solution of partial differential equations (in the Finite Element method) or the modeling of smooth sur- faces (in Computer Aided Geometric Design). Since they are compactly supported, their linear span has the needed flexibility to approximate at all, and the...

Mutualities in Dialogue
ISBN: 9780521499415 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Dialogue has developed from more primitive forms of communication during evolution. In Mutualities in Dialogue, "dialogue" refers to face-to-face interaction between two or more individuals using a system of signs. It asks the question "What is it that we share in the course of a dialogue?," arguing that mutualities of language, culture and some interpersonal information are prerequisite for effective communication. Even in instances of noncooperation or of asymmetrical dialogue elementary commonalities must be present.
