The Naked She-Wolf
ISBN: 9780957254558 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 385 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Self-hating, self-obsessed, morose yet highly perceptive and intelligent, Ana moves among trendy Zagreb intelligentsia like a spectre at the feast. Her brilliant first novel has remained unnoticed. If she were beautiful like her fascinating colleague Nina or famous like her handsome journalist friend David, the critics would eat out of her hand. When David comes up with a plan to test her theory, Ana plays along.

In this book, Roger Luckhurst both introduces and advances the fields of cultural memory and trauma studies, tracing the ways in which ideas of trauma have become a major element in contemporary Western conceptions of the self. The Trauma Question outlines the origins of the concept of trauma across psychiatric, legal and cultural-political sources from the 1860s to the coining of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in 1980. It further explores the nature and extent of ‘trauma culture’ from 1980 to the present, drawing upon a range of cultural practices from literature,...

Literature and the Contemporary: Fictions and Theories of the Present
ISBN: 9781138172692 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. At the end of the century, much criticism has become devoted to last things': the end of history, the end of the subject, the end of the novel, the end, even, of the end. Literature and the Contemporary, in contrast, aims to provide through twelve essays evidence of the way in which the literature of the 1990s is constantly engaging in questions of memory and history and the representation of time in the present day.
The essays in the book survey theories of temporality from various cultural and philosophical standpoints, and represent critics writing from feminist, postcolonial...

On April 12, 1975, just days before Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge seized control of Phnom Penh, Vincent's father missed a chance to take his family and leave Cambodia on a US Marine Corp helicopter. Had they boarded the chopper, Vincent would not have had to endure four years of brutality and starvation. He and his family somehow survived the genocide, but then found themselves destitute when they returned to the ruined city that was once their home. In 1980, along with his sixty-four-year-old grandmother, Vincent risked his life to cross the landmine-filled Cambodian jungle to reach a refugee...

Physical Properties of Liquid Crystals: Nematics
ISBN: 9780863417580 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 692 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The demand for liquid crystals with better display parameters and lower power consumption has stimulated much research into their properties and characterization. A large team of over 50 leading researchers from the USA, Europe and Japan have focused their expertise to extract and review data on a wide range of properties of nematics, including those which are essential to the development of all types of liquid crystal device. Where appropriate these properties are also explained with expert commentary. The book is fully illustrated and structured for reference.

Studies in Hysteria
ISBN: 9780142437490 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hysteria the tormenting of the body by the troubled mind is among the most pervasive of human disorders; yet, at the same time, it is the most elusive. Freud s recognition that hysteria stemmed from traumas in the patient s past transformed the way we think about sexuality. Studies in Hysteria is one of the founding texts of psychoanalysis, revolutionizing our understanding of love, desire, and the human psyche. As full of compassionate human interest as of scientific insight, these case histories are also remarkable, revelatory works of literature.

The Molecular Dynamics of Liquid Crystals
ISBN: 9780792328094 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 610 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Liquid-crystalline phases are now known to be formed by an ever growing range of quite diverse materials, these include those of low molecular weight as well as the novel liquid-crystalline polymers, such phases can also be induced by the addition of a solvent to amphiphilic systems leading to lyotropic liquid crystals. Irrespective of the structure of the constituent molecules these numerous liquid-cl)'Stailine phases are characterised by their long range orientational order. In addition certain phases exhibit elements of long range positional order. Our understanding, both experimental and...

The Angle Between Two Walls: The Fiction of J G Ballard
ISBN: 9780853238317 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is the first theoretically informed book on Ballard, reading his work not only within the science fiction genre, but also connecting it to issues of popular culture and legitimisation, postmodernism and the legacy of the avant-garde. Aiming where necessary to contextualise Ballard's fiction within the science fiction genre, Luckhurst's study also travels over many terrains more or less foreign to SF: existentialism, Surrealism, Pop Art, psychoanalysis, ethnologies of contemporary modernity, and the theory of autobiography.

Liquid Crystals I
ISBN: 9783662147160 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The liquid crystalline state may be identified as a distinct and unique state of matter which is characterised by properties which resemble those of both solids and liquids. It was first recognised in the middle of the last century through the study of nerve myelin and derivatives of cholesterol. The research in the area really gathered momentum, however, when as a result of the pioneering work of Gray in the early 1970's organic compounds exhibiting liquid crystalline properties were shown to be suitable to form the basis of display devices in the electronic products. The study of liquid...
