The Emperor's New Clothes: Literature, Literacy and the Ideology of Style (Pittsburgh Series in Composition, Literacy and Culture)
ISBN: 9780822937999 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since the Renaissance, what has been considered the "best" style of writing has always been connected with the dominant cultural agenda of the time. In "The Emperor's New Clothes", Kathryn Flannery offers a demystifying perspective on theorists who have argued for an essential distinction between "content" and "style", and focuses on the importance of understanding written prose style as a cultural asset. Flannery makes a strong case for the social significance of content and style and their relevance to a culture's practice of literacy. She tackles assumptions about authorship, the dangers...

The Square Root of 2: A Dialogue Concerning a Number and a Sequence
ISBN: 9780387202204 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The square root of 2 is a fascinating number - if a little less famous than such mathematical stars as pi, the number e, the golden ratio, or the square root of -1. (Each of these has been honored by at least one recent book.) Here, in an imaginary dialogue between teacher and student, readers will learn why v2 is an important number in its own right, and how, in puzzling out its special qualities, mathematicians gained insights into the illusive nature of irrational numbers. Using no more than basic high school algebra and geometry, David Flannery manages to convey not just why v2 is...

New Taiwanese Cinema in Focus: Moving Within and Beyond the Frame
ISBN: 9781474405577 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the Taiwanese film industry, the dichotomy between 'art house' and commercially viable films is heavily emphasised. However, since the democratisation of the political landscape in Taiwan, Taiwanese cinema has become internationally fluid. As the case studies in this book demonstrate, film-makers such as Hou Hsiao-hsien, Edward Yang, Tsai Ming-liang and Ang Lee each engage with international audience expectations. New Taiwanese Cinema in Focus therefore presents the Taiwanese New Wave and Second Wave movements with an emphasis on intertextuality, citation and transcultural dialogue....
