Jo's counter-intuitive take on caring for Mama Jo speaks to the resilience in late-life family care relationships. As author and memoirist, Jo delighted participants at Duke's Alzheimer's conference by encouraging them to seek fresh, positive and...

"Grabs you on the first page and keeps the intrigue high. A rockin' radio riot that reveals everything." --Paul Shaffer

Teeming with stalkers and smooth-talkers, rappers and rockers, NAKED DJ is biting satire at its all-too-real best. What "Jazmyn" Brown is asked to do to boost ratings and her radio career has her reeling -- and questioning everything and everyone around her. Just how much of herself should she expose for her job? What will she do about the two men she loves? And could those demons from her past vanish already? Penned by a bestselling author and...

Les principales caracterisations de la litterature mondiale supposent, implicite-ment ou explicitement, le dessin de centres et de peripheries litteraires. Loin de tenir un tel dessin pour fige, les essais ici regroupes l'apprehendent comme une construction relative, qui autorise bien des variations. Ils proposent des modeles alternatifs qui recomposent ou depassent les repartitions usuelles entre centres et peripheries de la litterature mondiale. Ils explorent egalement les dynamiques et les poetiques a travers lesquelles une serie de litteratures ou d'auteurs dits peripheriques construisent...

This volume attempts to critically re-think the ways in which facts and myths, histories and fictions that shape current and past understandings of (the US of) -America- have been perceived, assimilated, transformed and, in sum, -translated- in the arena of global culture, especially in Europe. The essays presented analyze notions of -America- and -Americanness-, and their interpretation, transformation and appropriation through linguistic translation, adaptation, domestication and re-imagination, at all levels of the cultural semiosphere. Essays focus on trans-Atlantic and trans-American...

The essays in this book offer new perspectives on the concept of liminality. They explore the relevance and significance of the limen or threshold from a variety of critical and theoretical perspectives, and across a broad range of historical periods. The authors all seek to revisit key questions raised in recent literary and cultural criticism, whilst also moving that discussion in new directions. In particular, the essays stress the importance of defining liminality for particular literary and cultural contexts, and highlight the fact that whilst it is liberating and progressive in some...

Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfangen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen fur die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfugung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden mussen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben."

In this book, the author thoroughly examines the basic mechanical and thermal effects of rotation. The author is an internationally recognized researcher, and the book offers the first comprehensive pedagogically written treatment for researchers and students.

Rotation is ubiquitous at each step of stellar evolution, from star formation to the final stages, and it affects the course of evolution, the timescales and nucleosynthesis. Stellar rotation is also an essential prerequisite for the occurrence of Gamma-Ray Bursts.

In this book the author thoroughly examines the basic mechanical and thermal effects of rotation, their influence on mass loss by stellar winds, the effects of differential rotation and its associated instabilities, the relation with magnetic fields and the evolution of the internal and surface rotation. Further, he...

The Mediterranean world has long had strong cultural links to Great Britain as well as to the United States. Through the analysis of artistic objects and critical writings that crystallise this encounter, the essays in this volume demonstrate the variety and complexity of the connections between two geographical zones and two or more cultures.
Mediterranean cultures are shown to haunt American and British culture and artistic productions. The relation between British and American literature and art on the one hand, and Mediterranean arts on the other goes beyond the mere inscription of...

Taking their cue from the polymorphous relationship between word and image, the essays of this book explore how different media translate the world of phenomena into aesthetic, intellectual or sensual experience. They embrace the media of poetry, fiction, drama, engraving, painting, photography, film and advertising posters ranging from the early modern to the postmodern periods. At the heart of the volume lie essays on works that characteristically perform intriguing interactions between the verbal and visual modes. They discuss the manifold ways in which artists as different as William...

Ma e proprio vero che il giallo italiano partorisce unicamente noir parodici e metaletterari? Sfatando questo cliche, Noir de Noir attesta anche l obiettivo principale dei noiristi italiani: scrivere un romanzo sociale che vada oltre i precetti del genere d inchiesta. A tale scopo il volume adotta un approccio pluridisciplinare, che misura il successo del noir mediterraneo a partire dalle vendite e dalle strategie di mercato, ma non solo. All analisi del fenomeno, concorrono infatti svariate prospettive: da quella storica del primo boom degli anni Trenta, alle...
