Contractile Mechanisms in Muscle
ISBN: 9781468447057 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 921 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Prior to the emergence of the sliding filament model, contraction theories had been in abundance. In the absence of the kinds of structural and biochemical information available today, it has been a simple matter to speculate about the possible ways in which tension generation and shortening might occur. The advent of the sliding filament model had an immediate impact on these theories; within several years they fell by the wayside, and attention was redirected towards mechanisms by which the filaments might be driven to slide by one another. In terms of identifying the driving mechanism, the...

Eudora Welty, Whiteness, and Race
ISBN: 9780820344324 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Faced with Eudora Welty's preference for the oblique in literary performances, some have assumed that Welty was not concerned with issues of race, or even that she was perhaps ambivalent toward racism. This collection counters those assumptions as it examines Welty's handling of race, the color line, and Jim Crow segregation and sheds new light on her views about the patterns, insensitivities, blindness, and atrocities of whiteness. Contributors to this volume show that Welty addressed whiteness and race in her earliest stories, her photography, and her first novel, Delta...
